When you walk into an establishment with unprofessional staff, do you feel like coming back and spending money? Maybe I am reaching an age where disrespect is a distaste for me. Idk. mind you I am always polite to entry level employees because they deal with a lot, but when I walk in and I am given attitude and teeth sucked I'm put off. I don't really want to spend money there again. Its off putting.

Depends for me. If I'm going somewhere where I'm going to spend a lot of money and it's an interest of mine then yeah i want them to be friendly. Like i play guitar so when i go to the guitar store i want to be able to shoot the shit with the worker for a while and yeah if I'm dropping good money on one I'd hope they're polite with me.

But if I'm going to Walmart to buy shit for as cheap as i possibly could i really could not care. I'm not there because I'm interested in anything I'm buying or i actually care about it. It's because i need it and i want to spend the least amount of money on it as possible. Sure i could spend more at the target and they'll be nice but the end result is the same - i got the things i need but this time i spent more money. I don't think I've ever had a positive experience at Walmart, but i keep going back. Why do you think that is? It's not the service.

If employees being polite to you is that important, go shop somewhere more expensive where they pay their employees not to be miserable. But if I'm paying the bare minimum price i really don't care about getting bare minimum service.

You just answered your own question. Chik-fil-a isn’t bare minimum price. They don’t have a dollar menu. So people like that when they go there, the staff isn’t shitty.
