    Honestly, most people aren’t that bad. But the ones who are are tend to be REALLY bad and they’re the ones who are remembered.

      Eh, it depends on the job. It’s not retail, but waiters are always taken aback when my wife and I are understanding about any delays or them being out of something. You can always see them bracing for the abuse when they tell us the issue.

      We’ve both worked in retail and food service, so we get it.

      When I worked retail, we would get shitty customers all the time, but one of my super powers was being able to diffuse the situation without having to get management involved.

        What morons don’t even operate on the “you don’t fuck with people handling your food” basic rule, let alone just have basic common decency.

          tell me you haven’t worked in food service without saying it.

          Americans really fucking suck.

            I’m over the Atlantic from the US, it would be truly unusual if someone actually blew up at service staff like that, let alone that being a common enough occurrence to trigger PTSD-adjacent responses from them.
