All 2 years of it I see, my man you gotta open your eyes then. The amount of pettiness in that industry is insane. Your ignorance of it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist
My man… just because you’ve seen it doesn’t mean everyone else has or that it’s common. Maybe you’ve just worked a shitty places. But that doesn’t mean it’s industry standard.
At least in the US, it seems pretty standard. Never worked retail myself, but everyone I know has hated it. Certainly a lot would like to imagine doing this kind of thing (but few actually would).
I can only say that my experiences in the field has been completely fine- and this includes working for Disney. And I can say that at 52 years old- I’ve been in the business for a long time. Never had a problem with anyone, and no one has had a problem with me.
If a person has a gripe with an entire industry- maybe the problem is with the person and not the industry.
How many Lemmy users do you think have never worked retail customer facing jobs, or food service? I’m betting it’s a minority, but I could be wrong.
Either way, whatever internal compass you use to determine another user’s job history needs some tuning because I’ve worked in plenty of service industry jobs.
Y’all are pretty tech savvy around here. I wouldn’t be surprised at all to find out that the majority of Lemmy users skipped the retail/CS/hospitality jobs in favor of entry level IT/ tech jobs.
If you doubt this actually happened clearly you’ve never worked in customer service/ food service
I’ve spent my life in customer service/retail sales/food service and I doubt this actually happened.

Entry level IT is tech support, which is customer service, but with dumber than average customers.
