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. ☺️

I've worked retail for years. I no longer put up with BS from anyone, customers or bosses. And customers or coworkers that have treated me poorly in the past I actively avoid and ignore. I also push boundaries on stupid rules, yah I know I'm risking my job but employee morale is important. I do my job well, so they usually leave me on my own. The pleasant customers and coworkers however I will go above and beyond to assist them. Help them with their projects, save money, etcetera

@JestAJester What are some of the stupid rules you push against; and how do you do that?

@Really cant take breaks in your car. No smoking breaks. Have to use a lowes approve safety box cutter that doesnt cut shit. Suppose to help customers even if theyre rude and belligerent. They want us to cover multiple departments by ourselves or learn how-to do everything in the store without compensation. Theres lots. I simply dont do it, sure i get in trouble from time to time but they cant afford to fire anyone for silly things like that

@JestAJester I get it. Some of the stupid rules are probably attempts at pre-emptive defence against the stupid, rampant lawsuit culture we live in.
