I think it depends.

Does the person in the scenario truly hate older people or is she venting about older customers at work? Because anyone who has ever worked in retail can attest to the fact that the elderly can be both the best and worst kind of people to deal with.

If it's the latter, I'd let it slide that kind of venting is rooted in problems with customer behaviour but if she was all 'I want to kill all old people everywhere' then that's different.

If a friend is legitimately racist, homophobic or sexist then I don't think I could be friends with them.
