I've given up being nice to CSR that work for shit companies and go to bat for them.

They need to quit or go on strike.

Buttfucking me the customer as a response to working at a shit establishment and toxic work environment does not fly any longer.

Those fucking ghouls at Taco Bell, not providing us napkins! What a deprived nation we are. I had to wipe my face with a tree stump! You can't get straws or drink lids anymore either at some restaurants. After all, the CEOS might have to forego an extra frog leg at dinner if they started providing us with napkins or straws for FREE.

The American consumer is the worst-behaved, most deranged, most thievery-prone they've ever been in history. "The customer is always right" thinking is endemic. Roving bands of Karens are straight-up assaulting workers. People want everything for free and figure "gratis" means "loot an entire two-armed carry." Not to even get started on the fucking shoplifting!

When people abuse a privilege, you take the privilege away, from everyone. It's pretty simple. If you want a retail experience where you feel privileged and taken care of then you need to be going to places that have some kind of mechanism to keep the hoi polloi away. A membership fee, an unusual location, some kind of barrier to entry.
