This might be unrelated but I always hated it when I worked retail and was the cashier and my boss/company told me I had to have my till counted and be up at my till by a certain time.
If I am scheduled for 9-5 then I show up at 5 mins to, clock in, count my till and head up front. If that means I don't get up front until 9:05 then so be it. I always used to get in trouble because I was "required" to have my till counted before 9am.
Total BS. If my stupid employer wanted me to show up at quarter to the hour to count my till then I guess they should have scheduled it that way.
The same thing always happened at the end of the day. I'd be scheduled to 5pm. To me that means my till is counted and cashed out by 5pm, not starting my cashout at 5pm and leaving by 5:15. That means my replacement should be scheduled to overlap by enough time that they can count their till and get up front and then for me to cash out by 5pm.
Sorry for the OT rant, probably could have gone in the WGMG thread.
As for your issue, it is not a young person thing. Young people I find tend to have quite the sense of entitlement but the older crowd are much better, IMO, at the time wasting routine than newbies are from my experience.
