That is a foreign concept to a large number (if not the majority) of millennials.

Congrats, you're old.
Generations always say these sorts of things about the next generation.

The thing is, is that it is most often true (at least in the instance of accountability).
When you grow up getting trophies for losing how does that instill pride and/or foster a good sense of work ethic and accountability?

that is a valid question because all teenagers do exactly what their parents tell them right?

He actually started out well. I had four people working with me at one of the bigger early events in the year, and he was the best of the bunch. I was putting a good bit of effort into training him, with the hopes that he could be someone I could make part of the core in my business.
He was rough from the beginning, in terms of demeanor, but I thought he had desire to overcome it. I had someone scheduled to come out to meet me this evening on the truck, and she no showed...

this is one route, some people will always be mistakes, individuals you never should have hired in the first place. Can't get around that without really helping the hiring process.
or, and this is where a lot of the culture type changes come into play, I would recommend you have some sort of 'playing to win' discussion with your larger team. Call it a family dinner and work through some basic items as conversational with a whiteboard or individual note pads.
A.G. Lafley wrote a book on playing to win and there are Harvard Business Review articles, but it's very big business. You can easily apply things down to a smaller level.
Start with a loose mission/purpose and define winning for not only the overall business but your individual employees. It's important to start with having them define winning for themselves. Then progress them to define winning for the business and finally link what they wrote originally to the business.
Help them see how they achieve personal success while also being a key component in the overall business's success. Think of it like a stool, and each leg is crucial to the business. They may not actually be true, but that's the belief you need the employees to hold. If they are removed, then the stool tips over and has to be picked up and repaired. Create accountability and expectations not just from a foofighter to employee level but an employee to employee level. Team driven expectations.
I think that is a little easier said than done, especially when you are not hiring a bunch of 40 hour per week office workers, but people to cut sandwich rolls, serve lemonade, and dump ice into coolers. I am realistic that everyone is there for a paycheck, not some big future on my food truck.
I am sincerely interested in growing my business into new ventures, but bringing that up to those people just seems like dangling the carrot, as realistically, they are not bringing enough to the table to get any equity in the business.

Humanity as a whole is advancing, but there are certainly instances of empires falling. Asia is replacing the US as a world power, in large part due to their work ethic.

China is on the ascent but it has nothing to do with work ethic.
