Are kids prepared for real world today?

I went to a different gym location than I normally go and at the front desk was college age employee. While changing in the locker room, I accidentally spilled my coffee. I asked female employee at the front desk for a mop and bucket, so I could clean it and she offered me a broom. When I asked her how would I clean coffee spill with it, her reaction was, oh you're right. She was basically lost afterwards what to do. She was few years older compared to my teens and I am wondering if this generation prepared for a real world? I am assuming this is not her first day working at the gym
