Hated trope: Regular middle aged white guy wants coffee, has issue with incompetent, young, dumb woke barista

Role Models -

Middle aged white guy is at a coffee shop with his girlfriend when he gets into an argument with the barista over drink sizes. He mocks the chain for using "venti" instead of "large," pointing out that "venti" means twenty in Italian while "grande" is Spanish for large. He tells the barista she is "stupid in three languages."

Loudermilk -

Middle aged white guy approaches a coffee shop counter to order. The young barista speaks with a noticeable vocal fry, which the man immediately comments on and mocks. When she says she cannot help the way she speaks, he tells her it is an affectation used by young people and accuses her of being pretentious despite working a service job.

Bad Thoughts -

Middle aged white guy with specific coffee request emphasises how the woman working at the counter needs to be very thorough with making sure the order is registered and made correctly. The barista screws up the coffee much to the dismay of the MAWG who then assaults the barista.

This is such a tired, uninspired punching-down fantasy and intellectually bankrupt joke that middle aged white male comedians just love for some reason.
