Still had to work myself and ngl I was really envious of people who got to stay home :( in food service we just got more and more yelled at by people
The jumping between "you're a hero!" (no, just have bills) and how absolutely insane people would get was enough to give whiplash. I mean, there have always been some assholes to deal with, but I swear they upped their game with COVID.
Upped their game and haven’t really gone back down in my experience. It’s honestly frightening.
I don't get it. I have always tried to be as polite as possible with store staff when I go somewhere. I lost my temper once when a pharmacist was being super unreasonable, but that's it. For years now. If they're out of something, they're out of something. If they don't know an answer, they don't know an answer. They're not getting paid enough to deal with abuse.
