Boomer customer with a 'landscaping emergency' barges into a shop before they're open and refuses to leave before speaking with a specialist who's not there yet: 'No! I can't wait'

What is it with the Boomer generation and a firm handshake? As if it's some magical gesture, getting you a job for which you're unqualified and 80% off at your local small business, Boomers cling to in-person visits and surprise encounters with companies that function by appointment only to tackle employees head-on with their handshake. And these days, it's strange to simply walk into a shop and demand immediate service from every employee on staff–that is if they're even actually open yet.

The male Karen in this next story seemed to think that not only could his impromptu visit to the local pool and landscaping company prove to be fruitful, but if he showed up before business hours, he'd get special treatment. Well, as we all expect, even though this business had its 'Closed' sign firmly posted on the front door, that wasn't going to be enough to stop this guy from barging in.

But this cringy Boomer encounter doesn't stop there!

A normal person would heed the regular business hours of a company from which they're seeking services, but this Boomer not only burst through the locked front door, demanded immediate attention from a contractor who was not even in the office yet, and berated every receptionist in sight. All the while, tirading in front of the entire staff, still groggy from their morning coffee, this Boomer failed to realize that nobody could help him at this establishment simply because of his own failure to plan ahead.
