Apparently so.


Millennials endanger casual-dining restaurants - Business Insider


Quote:
"Millennial consumers are more attracted than their elders to cooking at home, ordering delivery from restaurants, and eating quickly, in fast-casual or quick-serve restaurants," Smith wrote.
While blaming millennials has become a trend to the point of cliché in retail, Smith isn't wrong to zero in on younger customers' changing tastes as a major factor in casual dining's downfall.

For sure, my Millennial daughter's attitude is that civilization means living within 30 minutes of a farmer's market and a Whole Foods.

But 90% of these people probably shop at Wal-Mart. Not that I have a problem with that either way....

Yeah, well, see, that's the double-edged sword of Boomers complaining about Millennials.


However they are...we raised them.

Oh, wait. Dang. Real life.

It certainly is interesting as it seems like poor millennials are having baby after baby, while middle-class millennials delay it because of debt and to advance careers and many wealthy millennials seem to like to experience the world in luxury.

It seems like many of these millennials who have baby after baby in poverty have been losing tempers more and more in public. A decade ago it seemed like parents would scream at their kids at big-box retailers, now many of these poor millennial parents are screaming in stress in big-box retailers.

I can see why the children were screaming and crying because rather then wholesome fruits, veggies and yougurts she was loading up the cart with boxed and canned food with cases of soda.

I wonder if it is the fact they are having buyers remorse after watching all these reality television shows in their section 8 sparsely decorated homes with screaming children as they watch the Kardashians?

I was at Wal-Mart earlier and I was walked into the aisle, there was a woman with 4 children and boxes of processed and boxed food and cases of sugary soda yelling at her kids.

The parents were likely Millennials. I just think that it is very interesting how stressed out many of these millennial parents are these days.

I don't understand why many lower-income millennial families who choose to have 3 or 4 kids don't aren't happy like this video of a 1950s family.
No no no, you missed part 1 of the video: the one where Mom tore up the kid's ass in the cereal aisle of the Piggly Wiggly. This snippet of quiet family time is after Dad got home to finish the job and the lad is sufficiently contrite. Why do you think he's sitting on a pillow?

Can obese and morbidly-obese parents be good parents........while being horrible examples for their kids???? And that is not even factoring-in that these parents, many times, feed their kids junk, junk that is setting them on a course to be just like them, unhealthy and obese.

Probably one of the biggest things a parent can do, for their kids, is set a good example in leading a healthy-lifestyle. Teaching kids healthy, structured eating-habits is very, very important......and much lacking with most American parents.

Eat a diet of low-quality junk screws people up, physically and mentally.
