Tell Me You’re A Boomer Without Saying You’re A Boomer

I work in a big box store. I’m going over a few things with a coworker when an older customer comes up to me.

Customer: “I need to know which of these TVs sounds best in a big living room.”

He points to some very expensive top-of-the-line 8K OLED TVs.

Me: “They’re both very decent TVs, sir, but I would need to get someone from electronics to help you—”

Customer: “Stop being lazy and tell me.”

Me: “I don’t know how I could, sir.”

Customer: “Well, don’t you have something like these at home?”

Me: “Uh… no, sir. I don’t have a TV. I watch shows on my computer.”

Customer: *Shocked and horrified* “No TV?! Why not?”

Me: “I can’t afford one.”

Customer: “Why not?”

Me: “Because I’m a millennial, without rich parents, working two jobs to make rent and pay off my student loans?”

Customer: “Well, it’s not my fault you’re lazy!”

He storms off.

Coworker: “You should have just said, ‘I work retail.’ It says all of what you just said in three words.”
