Couple goes on vacation and expects 21-year-old pet sitter to work for free, she demands reimbursement: “Is this a generational shift?”

We're all familiar with Karen's, entitled people, or people who make assumptions that others will help them without payment. It's a strange assumption to make, but it happens. There are those who believe that being a stay-at-home mom isn't real work, and there are those who think that pet sitting or dog walking isn't a real job. Though there isn't much necessarily to do in a tangible way besides feeding or cleaning a litter box, it doesn't mean it's not work. Anything that requires you to change your plans requires work. Sure, maybe it's just sitting in someone else's apartment watching TV while a dog sits next to you, but the point is that it's not your apartment, it's not your TV, and ultimately, it requires payment. 

The story below, is about a couple who go on vacation. The protagonist gets her younger coworker to pet sit while they're gone, but was under the assumption they wouldn't pay her. Read the full story below.
