Comparison to others lifestyles in a highly capitalistic society via social media had really done a number on your average service worker - it is what it is. God bless them - they don’t know what they don’t know. Customer service has sucked for 30+ yrs and is steadily declining.

Honestly, it feels like the bad economy is really taking a toll on how people treat each other, especially in the service industry. It's like everyone's on edge because jobs are hard to come by, or they're just burned out from the ones they do have. I've noticed that even when you try to be polite and respectful, the response can still be cold or even rude. It's frustrating, especially when you go out of your way to be decent. But when you think about it, a lot of people are dealing with their own struggles, whether it's stress from work, financial pressure, or just being mentally and emotionally drained. It's tough, but I guess it's a sign of the times we're living in.
