    I never really understood where this came from. Is it from the whole “customer is always right” culture they were raised with?

          Man that Time’s article seems so out of touch to me. I couldn’t finish it.

          It’s just funny to see a 2013 take on millennials before I was even old enough to realize the shitty world we inherited from the Boomers.

      Just like an idiot, the typical boomer doesn’t understand why the saying exists or why it was started. They focus on just the surface level, and assume the rule for usage is the same as the title.
