One thing I figured out about my boomer family members is that they are used to specialists or life long laborers working at specialized places like tech, hardware, mechanics, clothing, etc. They do not understand that these are no longer staffed by specialists. Like they have no concept of how labor works now because they've only be consumers for decades now

Boomers come into a massive chain store and are surprised to learn that the retail employees of [massive billion dollar company] are not specialized tradesmen with years of experience but rather minimum wage workers who could not give less of a shit if the table the customer is buying is "good quality".
I'm pretty sure Lowe's or home Depot used to hire a lot of retired tradespeople to work there.
