i’m really over the idea that customers deserve unconditional respect from employees like nah bitch you deserve back the exact amount of respect you enter the store with. you throw a tantrum in public? you deserve to be escorted out in front of everyone and i hope it’s humiliating for you. you try to come in after close and don’t take “we’re closed” as an answer? you deserve to be told to leave and ignored. you insult the people providing services to you? you deserve to be refused service. if you don’t behave like a damn adult with impulse control and basic compassion, no one personally owes you a fucking thing my dude
True story: “The customer is always right” was a phrase invented and employed by the founder of the Ritz hotel.
If you’re paying Ritz hotel prices, sure you can expect that treatment. But don’t expect someone making minimum wage who isn’t allowed to so much as sit down to bend over backwards for you.
