RE: Boomers, Viruses, and Karens*

in #ramblerant6 years ago

One thing I've noticed (and of course this is a huge generalization) is that it's the boomers who are most resistant to "following the orders" of self-quarantining and social distancing. They're the ones crowding into the supermarkets and treating them like it's social hour while wearing their masks around their necks, the ones crossing state lines to shelter in their summer houses. It's funny, my next-door neighbor just told me his dad is home with him because he got kicked out of the assisted living facility for "not following the rules."

Being in tobacco retail, my customer base definitely skews to the older set. And don't get me wrong: I'm grateful for every one of my customers and really enjoy helping them. But in the last days before the shut-down, it was the oldest and most vulnerable of them who insisted on coming in.
