Jimmie's post is excellent. I also think that the newer generations have no Earthly idea what a service industry is...what having someone to help you find something or to wash your car windows or give you a peppermint stick while Mom fills a script are like. I think they are spoiled and have a sense of entitlement that pervades everything they do. They demand those things we considered "extra courtesies" in everything they do and in every place they go. It is not only the gadgets that have turned the upcoming generations into demanding and rude people but also our government that has enabled them to believe that they should expect someone else to take care of them
