That's not my idea of a pain-in-the-ass customer. Mostly that would be an arrogant son-of-a-bitch boomer-gen dickhead complaining about the service or the prices and hassling the guys trying to do their job. For more information on this just read some that the incredible shit that goes down from the posters on this newsgroup. How the heck is someone asking for some help and cooperation a pain-in-the-ass?
My guess is gen X/Y will change our society into one that supports and cooperates with each other. I don't consider that to be a bad thing. Their social networks and friends will be of paramount importance to them. Sure, they carry a sense of entitlement about them but that's the way we raised them. Baby-boomers labeling the younger generation as having a bad attitude of entitlement is fairly ironic. And the beat goes on...
