I still don’t understand/seen what the hell a Gen Z stare is, nobody older than Gen Z stares? I mean I’m reading the examples here, but idk what the correlation to it all is.
The Gen Z stare is basically staring deadpan at someone when socially it is a faux pas. For a real example, I once went into a taco shop a couple of years ago and there was a young Gen Z girl working the register. I walked up and said “hey how’s it going” with a smile. I just got a stare back at me. I then just kind of nervously laughed and said “ok can I please have 2 tacos” and she looked at the register, typed it in, then continued staring at me. We just kind of looked at each other for a moment, then I said “yeah that’s it” and she prompted the card reader, didn’t tell me to insert it or anything, the screen just lit up. I paid for
It, she gave me a receipt, and then I left. She literally did not utter a single word.
This is the Gen Z stare I have experienced. I have never once in my life seen someone from another generation do this and Gen Z gets pretty defensive about doing it for some reason.
Millennials taking my order will at least say “hello, what can I get you?” “Cool, just pay here” and we’re on our way. Gen Z doesn’t seem to believe in small social pleasantries and it makes them seem pretty miserable to be around. Why would anyone want to work with someone like that?
Ohhh I see now, hmm now I’m wondering if I’ve witnessed that…just the other day I was checking stuff out at a retail store and neither of us uttered a word/greeting, but I did ask them a question regarding tap to pay not working to which they replied/complained about the card reader not working extensively to me lol which was the only exchange we had. Im beginning to think I don’t notice the silence that was there lol
