    My wife and I went to a minor league baseball game last night for date night. We walked into a little bar/food stand to get some refreshments before finding our seats.
  • 03
    Immediately upon walking in we noticed a group/semi-line of boomers backing up around the center of the bar (about 25 feet long with FIVE registers and bartenders). On either side of the middle register were very clearly printed signs stating "Do NOT line up. Just come to a register

    and we will help you." The sign also reminded patrons to smile (as with most miLB parks, it was a very fun, friendly atmosphere). So my wife and I ignore the boomer traffic jam, FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS, and make our
  • 05
    way to the far left register and start placing our order with the (very sweet) bartender. Immediately, a stereotypical white-goateed boomer comes up to us aggro af "Uh, we were IN LINE". My wife, who is
  • 06
    typically extremely non- confrontational, replied "cool story bro, but you're just supposed to walk up." Boomer went into a full-on rage, probably partially from being put in his place by a woman. He

    started to come at her verbally, but the bartender immediately shut him down and said (cheerfully), "Sir she is correct. You can just walk right up! I can help you both at the same time!"
  • 08
    "There are two signs saying to form a line." "No, sir. The signs clearly say to NOT form a line and just come right up to a free register. Again I can help you all at once. What can I get you?"

    Instead of just ordering, he continues about (somehow) both my wife and I AND THE BARTENDER were wrong, blah blah blah. Bartender proceeds to ignore him and just go ahead making our drinks, saying under her breath "y'all did perfect".

    His face had turned fire engine red at this point. I thought literal steam was going to come out of his ears when we carried our drinks out past him while he still hadn't ordered anything because he could not stop crying about how we were somehow incorrect. My wife's cheery "enjoy the game!" was the chef's kiss to the entire episode.

Sorry for the mixup!" And I move on with my day. I will probably forget by tomorrow. You KNOW he's still angry about it days later. We really should teach emotional regulation in school.

    AvailableResearch420 23h ago Use to work in a retail store and had clear signs saying we opened at 9am and some old dumb boomer lady stated that she "doesn't read signs" They just hate reading and probably can't.. too filled with hate and anger to slow down and just read 2 sentences

    Ninja-Panda86 • 23h ago I think this might be Law of Boom Boom #1. They are the only ones allowed to make the rules, and everybody else is automatically wrong. That insides the owner of the operation who made the sign - Only boomers are allowed to decide how things operate and that's why Boom Boomer had to keep arguing

    MangoBandicoot • 21h ago Millennial Someone should write the sign in cursive. Maybe then they can read it.

    EspressoBooksCats . • 23h ago They have a weird concept of "lines". We have a couple of grocery stores with pharmacies, and there is always a sign right where the line should start. It's very clear where you go. Yet, nearly every time I am looking at cards or magazines, which are the 2 closest sections to the pharmacy, some old fool will come up and ask me if I am in line! Like, why would you even ask someone who is far away from the line, and nowhere near the waiting area. It's always some litt
