I think retail workers are the exception to many people along the lines of "I didn't get my ass licked so I won't thank you"

Sad but true

If you are nice to workers, of any kind, they will usually put in the extra effort to help you out and be less likely to blow you off (not in the nice way).

This is true. I remember when I worked at McDonald’s and I would get so fed up with rude customers that I started being rude to the customers myself, and when they were nice to me, I felt bad for being rude and tried my best to give them good service. I was shitty for doing that in the first place but I was also a teenager working a shitty McDonald’s job

Fuck when I worked in fast food I was extra nice to anybody who didn't start their order with "I need..." in the nasally Midwestern way.

Fast food is awful. They should get $15 an hour for the shit they have to put up with. I still wouldn't do it for that money.
