"but as I customer, I always see a store worker as a human and engage respectfully, and at least most people I know do the same"

Yeah, that's a HUGE problem in US culture, people are fucking awful to anyone in customer service. They look down on you like there's some class system and they are the lords and service people are the lowest peasant. I developed a nasty habit working in service of ''never falling for their bullshit''. Never show weakness, never give them an opportunity to fuck with you. It's actually a terrible approch to social interactions, most of normal social interactions are built on mutual trust or understanding, if you never allow either to manifest, it's a big communication breakdown.

Yeah that's not on you. New systems sometimes never really come online and customers just wise up and stop trying. It's frustrating for workers too, because the only thing worse than a terrible customer, is losing a sale over nothing.

Just because I spend years trying to figure out what the stabbing pain in my bladder was, you might want to consider referred pain from the spine. Or referred pain at all, because at 40, it's happening a fair amount.

Only one for me, but holy hell is it scary when I miss a pill, feel like Willy Wonka is turning me into a blueberry.
