CMV: Older generations act far more entitled than Millennials

IMHO, older generations, like those of my grandparents age and maybe a little younger, act much more entitled to things than Millennials.

I won't say this is true for absolutely every situation, but in most it seems to be. For example, when my grandmother or grandfather goes to a store or a restaurant, they sort of expect to be waited on hand-and-foot. They're used to the "old-fashioned" way of doing things to where you'd almost consider a waitress or a retail clerk to be a servant without feeling or emotion. Or even aside from that situation, they feel that they're automatically entitled to be demanding of younger people in genera, regardless of how they treat them in return. In some sense I get that, being automatically helpful to someone elderly because they may require assistance, but at the same time...shouldn't they be the ones to show an example of kindness and appreciation for others?

For example, in mine and my coworkers experience in healthcare, the elderly were far and away the most difficult, argumentative, and unreasonable clients we encountered. In regard to what exactly? They thought they were dismissed from following regulations of the facility in regard to insurance, paperwork, and wait times. They would be the ones we would have to have near fights with to get them to listen to reason when it came to simple requests which other patients, albeit younger ones, would comply with without a fight. The elder patients would be the ones to assume they had to make no effort to make sure that we had their insurance information and had little knowledge of the basic functioning of health insurance, believing that their information should automatically appear and if it didn't, it was our fault. They would also be the first to throw a fit if they weren't tended to immediately, even if they were waiting behind other patients. 

Perhaps I'm not explaining this as well as I'd like to, but I hope I'm getting the point across. I suppose I'm saying that to me I feel like Millennials are actually more willing to take care of things themselves, that because we have so many resources for solving our own problems, that we don't expect to have someone else solve them for us as if we deserve to be helped without question.

The older generation is used to "upwards" respect. They grew up at a time of military and industrial growth, where importance was given to "do what you're told, and do it perfectly" or the whole system falls apart. They never complain to their superiors or elders and hold the same expectations from their subordinates.

Millenials work more "Horizontally" through collaboration, consensus-building and feedback. Our times place importance on innovation, self-expression, and strong sense of personal boundaries. Our society is more egalitarian and disconnected.

So both generations think the other person is entitled or disrespectful, simply because we view society and social relations differently. Older generations view Respect as appreciating Loyalty, Cause and Commitment. Millenials view Respect as appreciating Personal Space, Validity of Personhood and Human Dignity. 

You can clearly see why this is not only incompatible but diametrically opposite expectation of social interactions.
