Why do old people always get stereotyped?

1 Answer

Answer :

Not sure how old you are talking? I don’t stereotype the,. At least not anymore. I don’t know if I ever stereotyped them, but I felt like they were not part of my world kind of. Then I moved to Florida after FL and older people were everywhere. I worked with them, surrounded by them in the grocery store, saw them at the pool, and I realized how wonderful they are to be around. I was in my 20’s so they were very caring and giving, kind of like if I were a granddaughter. They were excellent employees, and if I was in a place of business the older people generally were a pleasure to work with; smiled, cared about doing things right, understood what good service is. Young people seem to have less of an idea of what exceeding a customers expectations is, but of course not all young people.
