Heard of "Twitter mobs"? I think that kind of thing can happen with anything that gets post's, tweets, or whatever. These things are definitely millennial........things! They don't fear any kind of consequences. Seems "new recruit bashing" is similar anyway... Doesn't mean it's millennials doing the bashing. Sure it's some, but no way is this unique to millennials. ANNNNYWAY.... So, how about all these recruits, eh?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like to even consider myself one. I don't identify with the stereotypes. I'm more old school and identify better with generation x and baby boomers.

OgieOgilthorpe Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 1 hour ago, sprig said: You're right, i haven't figured them out, thought it may be younger, or at least newer ND fans that now are unhappy with commits before they've seen them. Getting stranger in here all the time. At a minimum they are into technology and social networking, can't make change without a computer. And god forbid you add change (pennies) to your purchase after they've already entered your whole dollar amount into the register/ computer. Numerous times a young manager is called over, and he/ she can't figure out out either. So you just tell them what they owe you, and they give it to you. Even the simplest math is impossible without a computer Then please start going to the checkout lines being run by Boomers so there are less people I have to wait for at a millennial run checkout. You guys can fumble with cash and coins while grumbling about millennials all while I get through line and all the way home by the time you reorganize your wallet and paper coupons. Hopefully no other Boomers behind you in line bring up the swipe/insert CC dilemma because that might add another 5 minutes to your checkout time. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should be more than enough for today's stereotyping 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should be more than enough for today's stereotyping Hahaha good observation. My guess... some of those kids behind registers are there for a reason and one of those is they can't do math. Ironic, right? Same with the old people! They are behind the register because they don't know how to work the register! Let's get back to it. So, when we getting Rizzo? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiouxForever Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I think people need to relax. Union's Jack Adams didn't even play in a game this weekend against UND and had 37 goals last year in the ushl. He has 1 goal in his college career so far. Can you imagine our fan base if this player was on our team and struggling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sodbuster Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Hey, I don't know jack about our newest recruit, except he's got a great hockey name. PINTO!

The Sicatoka Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 First, and foremost: Let's get this thread back on topic ... now. Thank you.
