it’s always the old people that are impatient, rude, and pull the stupidest shit on us. any rare moment where a customer has been out of line, 9 out of 10 times, it’s an old person with the littlest sense of anything. they’re always stingy about the amount of coins they hand us (and get mad when i miscount their massive pile of coins they want exact bills back for) whilst having a massive line during a rush, taking forever to dig out their wallet, or if they have a coupon, it is long expired, but they will argue that they’re right and that they can still redeem it because it “still works,” or straight up be rude and disrespectful because they have no life after being retired. today, we had two people on drive thru. i was taking both lanes, payments, presenting, and making drinks all at once, and this old person at the speaker had the audacity to ask what took so long, when we were severely understaffed? i apologized for the wait, and this stupid old lady said that i “took too long,” so i was honest and said we were understaffed and doing our best with what we have. she started yelling and said that i “didn’t answer her question about why i took too long to take her order,” even after saying that, so i just said i’m not going to serve her and for her to have a good day. she really tried to pull the “i’ll report you to the manager if you don’t take my order,” and i didn’t care. i didn’t get in trouble, but the old lady came inside and got free food after that. i can’t believe people like this

i am 20f and do not have my driver’s license. where i live, people get their license at 16. my parents have always pushed the positives of driving and that they really want me to do it, but i am an adult now, and still don’t feel ready or that i want to do it. driving seems really scary. there is a lot i have to do in order to do it correctly, and the aspect of it seems very difficult and overwhelming for me. i have communicated that to my parents several times, and that i enjoy taking the bus (i don’t need to focus on driving and can do stuff at the same time). i don’t have struggles that are as severe when it comes to working or some parts of education, but driving has always scared me and is something i don’t want to do
