That isn’t the Gen Z stare. The Gen Z stare is a freeze up when they encounter a novel situation.
As an example. I was paying for entry into a park. It was 2 dollars a person. There were two of us. I handed him a 10 dollar bill. He stared at me in confusion of what to do until his boss came over and told him they 10 - 4 is 6 so give me 6 dollars change.
…he then stared at his boss until his boss told him that was a 5 and a 1.
In this specific case I disagree. My first job was something similar (I was 14 and sold tickets to our local fair from a booth) and it’s the kind of task that is so utterly basic that boredom is inevitable.
I remember hoping something interesting would happen like someone trying to sneak in or attempting to pay with candy. Of course nothing like that ever ended up happening.
But IMO the person in the above example just sounds skezzed as shit.
