According to an article in Business Insider millenials are killing certain businesses and I am glad to say that most of the ones being ‘killed’ are ones that I am cheerfully glad to see the back of. And I suspect most people of all ages will be. So here’s my take on some of what’s going on

1. Casual dining such as Applebees or Buffalo Wild Wings are losing out and I can understand why. No discernible taste, poor locations and a standard of service that is literally non-existent. Avoid at all costs
2. Beer is on the way out. Millennials prefer wine and I can confirm this is entirely fine with me. I will now be able to get a place at the bar and get served with no teenagers trying out their latest red bull concoction. Long live millenials avoiding beer
3. Napkins – apparently millenials prefer paper napkins to cloth napkins. I have no idea why anyone would prefer paper napkins so in this case millenials have it. I’ll carry on using the washing machine.
4. Breastaruant chains like Hooters. No one of any age should be seen in or around a hooters. Of any age. It’s just wrong and I am with millenials all the way here.
5. Millennials don’t like cereal because its hard to clear up. Well a staring point might be not to use paper napkins but I am not sure why clearing up breakfast is a particular challenge as no other meal is mentioned. Perhaps all millenials start out with good intentions about clearing up breakfast, end up with a handful of sodden paper towels and simply give up tidying up?
6. Golf is under pressure as millenials find better ways of spending their time. And while is it obviously not clearing up their apartments I find the fact that they are killing golf to be worthy of medals. Golf has to be the best way to ruin a walk in the country but apart from that it serves no useful purpose at all. Except perhaps keeping anyone who thinks plus fours are a good thing away from the rest of us. All power to the millenials
7. Motorcycles. Well who does want to dress up to dress up in tight leather and fall over as soon as it rains or you go round a corner. people who like motorcycles probably like golf and should be kept away from sensible people.
8. Fabric softener. I find it odd that millenials in particular are running away from fabric softener but according to Procter & Gamble’s head of global fabric care, millennials “don’t even know what the product is for.” Which is a bit odd as the clue is in the title of the product and its a bit difficult to see how a company could make it any easier to understand what it does. But again I am with the millennials here. Another round of chemicals clogging up your pores simply so your towel apparently feels a little nicer doesn’t make a lot of sense to me
9. Banks – nothing needs to be said. No one likes banks. They are simply horrible
10. Gyms. I am with millenials here. never having set foot inside a gym I can completely understand why no one else would want to.

Now I come to think of it I am a millennial after all. Just from the wrong millennium.
