I recently suggested to a young cousin off to college that she write a thank you note to her boss from her summer job (who really went above and beyond as a supervisor) since that’s the kind of thing that people remember if/when she needs a job over Xmas vacation or next summer) and the cousin said, “what a great idea” and I told a little story of how touched I was to get a note in the mail from a former employee and the young woman looked panic-stricken and said, “you mean send an actual letter- like through the mail?”

I said-" yeah- an actual note" and she looked mournful and said, “But then I’d need to go buy a stamp”.

Generational indeed! I told her she could print a stamp/bar code off the postal service website and she looked skeptical…
