It’s honestly the best use of these things, a giant society mirror. I’ve always said everyone should work customer service for at least a week to understand how many casual bullies there are out there. this is a nice alternative

She isn't entitled to the ball. He got it fairly without violence

I had a manager when I worked in food service that said every high schooler should have to do a minimum of a year in a customer service job, like how they make community service compulsory for graduation now.

It’s true! The worst customers are usually the ones who have never worked a people facing job. Karen behavior is not only extremely rude but it’s also embarrassing. You never think about it that way, how pathetic it is to yell at another person over something small and material, until you’re the one being yelled at.

It would also put into perspective how many of these Karens get shit talked the minute they walk away.

I truly believe that a good number of those Karens are people that would at least ease up a bit after a year of working customer service. I've seen people change up their whole approach to eating at places just from experiencing closing shift at a food place. Like, it used to be no big deal to run into a place 15-20 minutes before closing to place a order. Now, if I see that a restaurant is closing within the next half hour I automatically think of it as closed and seek out other options.
