Poor people deserve bad customer service, too!

why did you choose to add “too” to the end of the sentence, instead of writing “poor people too deserve …”?

Is it a visual choice? Are you trying to balance "O"s as in oo………oo

Grammar Nazi chiming in:

Too meaning ‘also’

We can use too to mean ‘also’. It is more common than also in informal situations. We normally use it at the end of the clause.

In short answers in informal situations, we normally say me too, not I too.

In more formal situations, we can use too immediately after the subject.

You’re not wrong. People tend to tune me out when I speak that formally, and I made a decision a long time ago to always write how I speak.

That being said, you should hear my corrected version of Land of Confusion.
