I don't know man, I've never seen a zoomer yell at a cashier at a big store chain about the prices being too high or them not having something in stock. Boomers on the other hand, I have a number of times. Boomers are also the only people I've ever seen get called entitled by not only older generations, but also yonger ones too.
