E248: Generational Stare Down at the Customer Service Counter!

Just when you thought customer service couldn’t spiral further into the abyss, here strolls in Gen Z with zero f*cks to give. No “hello,” no “how can I help you,” just a little turd staring at you, daring you to initiate the order. Your move—order or silence? Also, Evan is an allergy-sufferer with vim and vigor, Liz tries to coach up her teenage son in the kitchen - on how to move things in the fridge to find what you're looking for, and Rick blasts off about the app he had to download onto his phone to operate the remote vacuum in his saltwater swimming pool - poor guy. Maybe he should start a Gofundme campaign.

About the Podcast

Small Town Scuttlebutt

We react to the overreactions of small town problems.

Making sense of what’s happening in our society is complicated. From the perpetual virtue-signaling to the over-reliance on water bottles, small towns across the globe are facing serious challenges. The man-bun, mommy blogs, and people who consider figure skating a sport; they’re all egregiously wrong!

So, if your typical day is stymied by self-checkout machines that always need an employee override or your inbox is flooded with way too many over-worded emails from your kid’s school, we can commiserate.

Join us as we critically examine these quandaries and more every Tuesday on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and everywhere else cool podcasts are found.
