You have to be a pretty shitty and unempathetic person tbh.

Mind you, if they're shirty about it and try to get snarky about the company having fucked you or just straight up lie to you, then I think it's fine to unload after a bit of that, but just shouting at some rand who answers the phone coz you're mad at the company they work for makes you a pretty huge jerk.


Even makes you the ''joke'' of the day, you will be the one tard they will talk about on their break

I could never do something like that! I mean right now i'm at McDonald's and i ordered a chocolate milkshake but the lady gave me a vanilla one! :(

I'm just gonna drink the vanilla milkshake and deal with it! :)


No way, drink like a quarter of the vanilla and THEN very politely tell them that you don't mean to be a bother but you ordered chocolate. Free milkshake!

I think everyone should have to work some sort of retail or service job at some point in their life (preferably early on). Would give people a taste of what it's like.

Very much agreed. We could end the plague of this haircut forever:

Yelling at them would be fucked up, but you should kill their mom, dog and best friend.

I had a customer services job as a student and there was one time when a caller (who was a teacher asking why she hadn't been paid yet for marking) was so rude and condescending to me. I was very calm and didn't react but afterwards I wished that I had. This was a few years ago now

e/ what surprised me most was that it was a teacher. If she was like that to a child of mine, or even somebody else's, I'd verbal her to the ground!

I've worked a few of these jobs and definitely do everything in my power to make sure that people who act like that don't get anything but a fistful of dick.
