Should private shops have public service style "Abuse of our staff will not be tolerated" signs?

Yes

You can only vote on one answer.

In my opinion they should- back when I was a cashier the amount of abuse I got- man this one guy I still clearly remember- I wanted to grab his head, smash it onto the counter and watch his teeth go everywhere!

"But they're having a bad day"- my now wife was in the hospital for an emergency appointment for her blood pressure and considering she had a ruptured aneurysm I was terrified- but that day guess what- I still treated all cashiers like normal himan beings!

Please don't think I'm here to berate you if you disagree, all comments are welcome- I'm not a snowflake who melts down when someone disagrees!

Posted in hospitals here, they come with swift and positive control, and arrest; for those ignoring the warning. With police often in attendance.

In retail :

Yes, we need well trained and equipped security with a visible presence and rapid response, in high volume retail stores.
Floor staff should be similarly trained.

A no tolerance-no B.S policy. Where bad attitudes are not license to inflict abuse on others.
It's high time we stop permitting customers to behave as spoiled 6 year old brats simply because they threaten to run to the competition, cite their "rights, or sue; if not lauded as crowned monarchy.

The worry we'll lose profits is based on idle threats.
Problem customers are always back at the front door, 8 AM sharp for opening the next day. Regardless how much they screamed, or threatened to boycott the store yesterday. 😄 🤭

We also need enforceable bans.
