So funny how the right just totally alienates the service economy which is bigger than standard labor because unless you're doing backbreaking work you're not a worker, I tell the cashier ringing me up who's got two kids and 2 hours of sleep.
love people like that. a year and a half ago i was working at a local grocery store and a lumpenprol gen x/boomer told me he was exhausted after his shift, so i agreed with him and he just scoffed at me and was like, "are you kidding me kid? exhausted from here?"
i was working 40+ hours a week to finance living expenses and college, which was 30+ hours of classes/studying, plus spending 6 hours a week commuting by bike, and he couldn't consider i work hard?
Depending on where you are in the service industry, you'll still be doing heavy lifting. Like when Target tries to get cashiers to pick up shifts in the loading dock (sans dock pay).
standing up for hours at a time under headache inducing fluorescent lightning and long lines from intentional under staffing while the same 20 corporate pop songs play and 1 in 5 people are inconsiderate assholes who degrade you for the way you bag their shit has to be a form of torture

I go out of my way to be nice to cashiers.
Also, always tell your busdriver thanks for the ride
