People Who Work Shitty Jobs Deserve As Much Respect As Any Other Sentient Being

Regardless of whether the consumer or the employer thinks the job is important or not. A lot of the stress people in the service have to deal with is not the workload itself but the stuck up pigs that they have to take abuse from several times every shift. As much as they can blame it on the employees and excuse the disrespect with "Get a better job." They'd be the angry red faced sweaty pigs should those employees move onto greener pastures and not be stood at checkout having the self entitled c***s shit down their throats because your shake costs 25 cents more.

If you treat people with dignity, they are more content. ☺️

This is why I switched to work where I’m not directly interacting with customers. I found a handful of apps that allow me to pick up shifts for positions in merchandising, dishwashing, manufacturing, warehouse work, etc.

I work a few days at circle k’s through an app called Shiftsmart. It’s nice being able to pick which locations I wanna work at. You find out which places attract less douchebags and also which places have cool coworkers.

I’m just glad technology is changing the workforce. I’m able to cash out my earnings within 24 hours of finishing my shifts. The traditional 2 week wait is ridiculous in my opinion.

But yeah, I’ve came to the conclusion that regardless of where I work, I’m gonna have to deal with a douchebag, either in the form of a customer, a coworker or a supervisor. It’s rare to find a workplace where everyone is cool but it’s not impossible.

@HermannFegelein That sounds pretty good, I have to say I have had a few shitty jobs but the option to drift from one place to another would have made life a lot easier. You know that feeling of being trapped and not being sure if you'd be able to find somewhere else? That sucks.
