These Millenials will never cut it in business.
I’ve lost track of how many dinners I’ve eaten with clients and potential customers whom I didn’t even like.

Yup. I've posited that Millenials would benefit from a "Business Etiquette 101" class. Lesson One would be "Turn off the cell phone, or better yet, leave it at home".

Follow ups could be "Business Lunches, or how to pretend that you're interested in what people who you dislike, but still need to do business with, are saying". "Flip-Flops? Appropriate for interviews??" and "Cursing at your boss, Ironically Funny or Poor Career Move?"

With a class like that, snowflakes could aspire to something more than 1st shift barista at the local coffee shop.

Business is a different domain; rules valid there are often not valid in the "dating" domain, and vice-versa.

And besides: Aren't business meals generally restricted to business relationships that are already relatively "developed," i.e., have advanced beyond the "first meeting" stage?

Regards,
