This right here is why I’d rather go homeless at this point than suffer another minute working in the service industry. There’s no way I could be financially independent on the industry’s minimum wage in my neck of the woods, anyway, I would need a LOT more money to put up with Karens as a grown man with bills to pay.
On a more positive note, working minimum wage while getting yelled at and having my hours reduced anyway has given me the empathy to never again hassle or even exude negativity towards these long-suffering employees, no matter what. Even if they eat my sandwich.
