Those darn millenials and their forcing everyone to drink their fancy drinks and then Karen gets mad at me, the poor veteran just trying to give this business my dollar!
And even if they did upsell like that, it was probably because some boomer insisted (at least at the time of this comic). Out of all the things I associate with “millenials”, wanting to upsell shit to make their employer more money isn’t one of them.
Yeah but how often do they persist after the first decline? I mean, it comes more down to the individual than there generation, but it’s more common to hear “sorry, I have to ask this, but upsell? No, ok cool, that’ll be total” than seeing someone try to argue after the first no thanks.
I often enjoy a simple black coffee, myself, and have never had anyone try to convince me otherwise as if they are dying to do more work. It’s just an ‘other people having choices feels like a threat to my tradition’ kind of comic, I guess. The lady yelling at him is kind of funny, though; I have seen worse boomer humour.
What’s the original strip about? Upselling something?

…yeah I’m trying to imagine a scenario when this would ever happen. I’ve never seen someone try to upsell someone else on coffee before.
“Would you like whipped cream on that” gets me a lot.

I get uppselling a lot. “Extra shot?”, " Cookie?", “Membership App?”, etc.

I drink black coffee and that never happened to me. I think the baristas would prefer to make a simpler drink.

Jarhead just wants coffee. Old (for the internet) boomer humor comic.
