Fucking entitled baby boomers

alex_antoninI was at the grocery store just now and witnessed this elderly white lady getting all pissy because her card (not a debit or credit, some kind of out-of-state thing, I think it was a Michigan food stamps card or something of the sort) wasn't working "when it worked here two days ago, and I know I have enough money in there," yelling and making a spectacle of herself, saying things like "I'm not shopping here again!" and a lot of the other "entitled baby boomer shit fit" key words. Listening to this tantrum, for that's what it was, made me remember times when I've had similar issues, and my response was just to sigh and give up and look into the matter later on my bank account to see where I fucked up. But that woman, she's a baby boomer, they come from an era of plenty, she's probably not used to the pitfalls of being poor yet, hence the tantrum.
The whole time she had her tantrum, I felt no empathy for her at all; all my empathy was for the employees who had to put up with her nonsense. My stomach is still twisted in angry knots over it, only now beginning to relax 20 minutes later.
All in all, it was all I could do to keep from shouting "So DON'T come back! At this point, I'm sure they never want to see you again, you entitled white bitch! Stop taking your frustrations out on them, it's not their fault you've overdrawn your account, or that they can't take your out of state card, or whatever the fuck is going on over there! Take your fucking tantrum away from here to someone who gives a shit about problems with your special snowflake card!"
