Americans love to hate service workers—until it’s time to order

I swear this makes no sense whatsoever. Service workers are subject to rude customers by being forced to provide “great customer service” and it’s even worse when the place you work at thinks the “customer is always right.” And God forbid if you defend yourself against these people. Also, companies either pay their workers the bare, bare minimum or they’ll pay you $2 an hour and you better pray that people leave a tip. And then they wonder why people don’t “want to work.” I really wonder why, too. Like why wouldn’t people want to work for abusive companies and put up with rude customers? How dare people leave the service industry for other well-paying fields that don’t treat them like absolute dogshit? How dare they?!

Work requiring a copy of my driver’s license when I use my personal vehicle

My work is requiring that I upload a picture of my driver's license for when I use my personal vehicle for work purposes. I work from home. They say that it's for when I drive for work related reasons. For example, we are running a training seminar for customers soon which is a full day thing about an hour away. My participation is voluntary. Can they require a picture of my license for my trip there and back when I use my personal vehicle? The drive won't be during work hours. This sounds weird to me as they never required this when we were all commuting to the office about an hour away. I've been at the company over 3 years and this is something new this year. Thoughts?

I’ve hit the wall (just a rant)

I make an attempt about once a year to get out of here. Got exactly one interview in all 4 years (and they ghosted me after). I don’t know what to do. Wasn’t it the big news story that everyone was hiring right now? Am I just that unappealing? I just want to cry, man.
