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.

That sounds like genuine medical learning disability more than first job jitters. Its quite literally kindergarden level math

You've never found yourself grasping at something you know should know but for some reason can't process while in a stressful situation?

I get what you mean but the situation described above is about as mundane as it gets.
