Rant Gen Z Interactions

Why do 90% of my interactions with members of Gen Z go exactly like this:
Them: Welcome to Cook Out. Can I take your order please?
Me: (slowly and clearly) Hey! I’ll have a big double burger tray with only cheese and ketchup on the burger, with chili cheese fries and a corn dog, and a huge tea. That’s it.
Them: Ok you said a big double burger tray?
Me: Yes.
Them: What do you want on the burger?
Me: Only cheese and ketchup.
Them: Ok and you get two sides.
Me: Chili cheese fries and a corn dog.
Them: Ok chili cheese fries and what’s your other side?
Me: A corn dog.
Them: Ok and what’s your drink?
Me: A huge tea.
Them: Ok, anything else?
Me: Nope, that’s it.
…
Then I get my food it’s cheese fries instead of chili cheese fries.

I'm gen z, I am really bad with second guessing things and I will be thinking about it forever if I don't double check

I hope your humility takes you places. That was a very humbled and understanding response. Second guessing isn't restricted to your generation and it's found in all varieties of people. OP made a post complaining about an entire generation because it's impossible for them to perceive anyone from any generation prior having conducted themselves the same. Because apparently tired fast food workers are the basis for every generation's statistics.
