Gonna use an example of what happened to me tonight to exemplify this point.
I have worked as a bartender throughout my bachelors degree and have now shifted to full time before further schooling (hopefully law school) starts.
The place that I work at is nestled within a wealthy area of the city that contains a lot of entitled, rich alcoholics with nothing but time. Part of my job involves helping servers clean tables when it’s quiet, so like usual I went and grabbed a rag and spray bottle and got to work on one of the booths.
I missed one grain of somewhat translucent white rice that was on the far corner of the table. My mistake. The next couple to sit there not only threw a fit but demanded that the manager bring me aside (within eyeshot of them) to be reprimanded and told to apologize for not doing a thorough enough job. The manager (being the shill that they are) did exactly that and shredded any respect for themselves and from me.
This asshole couple, by dropping huge cash essentially earned the right to be assholes and dictate the behaviour of the manger.
This is just one of MANY occurrences at this place and I’m sure fellow service industry workers will understand.
