You want free stuff? You want us to treat you extra nice, go out of our way to make your experience better than usual, without tearing up your throat screaming and throwing a fit? Well, have I got a hot tip for you!
Treat us with respect.
That’s it. That’s all you have to do. We are so starved for basic kindness that we will gladly bend over backwards for someone who treats us like we’re people, not slaves or automatons or drones in some sort of service-worker hivemind.
Sincerely,
A very bitter retail worker
