What's your "old person" trait?

My old person trait is that I think ‘ghosting’ is completely unacceptable and you owe the other person a face-to-face conversation.

I think I should be allowed to order food from a restaurant without needing to scan a QR code which requires me to have a smart phone and an active, paid plan in order to access their menu.

I think the move to delivery apps is also a bad move.

I agree. I never understood why having a stranger deliver your food was considered safer than just picking it up yourself during the beginning of covid. That’s another person handling your food.

Not to mention restaurants and drivers get ripped off.

Yes! My OPT is that people shouldn’t have their phones out when you’re out for a meal. The whole QR code menu thing forces you to start your outing staring at your phone!

Wait, you mean you’re sat down AT the restaurant and you need to get out your phone to view the menus???

Sadly, yes, and just like @PurpleFairy I don’t like to get my phone out during meals so it bothers me to start my meals with my girlfriend, friends, or family that way.

But also not everyone has a phone with a paid plan so this is a class and an accessibility issue. And I’m not going to use my phone to scan some random, potentially unsafe QR code. I put in too much work into my digital security to then go and do something like that.

I’m on the fence about this. On one hand I don’t get handed a wet plastic menu someone has just wiped off, or maybe has dried sauce on it. Also it is easier for them to add updates to their menu digitally instead of using a sharpie to cross through items and prices that no longer apply. But I also agree having to look at the whole menu on my small phone screen isn’t the best experience.

my old person trait is thinking that all of the above are extremely reasonable expectations and it’s a sad world we live in where most of those aren’t the case anymore

I think that a basic lifestyle should be affordable for a basic person

Found the left-wing extremist! /s

Crazy how that is an unpopular opinion these days

i’m gonna go one further:

i think everybody should be allowed to live a decent enough life, whether they can work or not.

I’ll go even further and say that meeting the needs of a population is the only point of having a society at all.

that almost sounds like… anticapitalist propaganda! Can’t have that! Back to your cubicle, worker #33458!

One further, and one better

I don’t think that is an old person trait. You are just secretly Nordic.

or not so secretly, seeing as i literally live a stone’s throw from a scandinavian border

As a very basic person, I agree

All this automation should mean that there’s less work to do for everyone’s needs to be met. Not sure where all this scarcity came from.

Yeah, once. Or 732 times but at some arbitrary number you have all the right in the world to ghost people IMO.

My old person trait is that I think that the company I buy a product from should be the seller and the shipper of the product.

Rules:

Be civil and nice.
Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
