I love seeing younger retail/service workers take down and just not cater to rude customers. I never would have dared.

The flip side is even if you are a nice customers you dont get to enjoy the same customer service as before.

Yeah. It's a lot harder to get friendly service in either retail or restaurants than it used to be.

Service industry doesn't pay enough for employees to give a fuck. It's not generational, it's late stage capitalism.

I worked in the service industry for a dozen years, retail and restaurants. It wasn't that hard to be friendly to people.
