As somebody else said, the US (and other societies with similar levels of customer entitlement) would be improved by universal national service in retail/hospitality

I disagree, shitty people are always shitty. They would be emboldened with doing the service because now they “know how to do your job” and “they’ve done their time”.

What other societies have similar levels of customer entitlement? I think this is mostly prominent in areas with great inequality.
I have nothing to back this up with except for my own experiences though

This is how some shithead would behave because he thinks he’s right and can’t even invest 1 brain cell to imagine that some overworked and underpaid dumbass is missing just this in their life, one the reasons i got out of the food and beverage because here’s my take on “the customer is always right” after 10 years of working in F&B “the customer can go fuck themselves”, it’s an ungrateful and underappreciated job branch that most stop working in because they start to hate humans

Sam Walton, founder of Walmart, was the guy that coined the phrase, “the customer is always right.” The thing is, he doesn’t mean on the micro level. It was to combat the idea that consumers were ignorant of what they wanted to buy and needed the corperate executive to tell them. Walton accurately surmised that if you didn’t sell the product customers wanted, regardless of your opinions, they’d just buy it from your competitors. Unfortunately, every entitled dickbag hears the phrase and thinks it means them specifically.
An example of the original intention is when an executive decides we need AI in a product and that leads to a drop in purchases. The right thing would be to recognize the market does not want AI in that product and roll back the change.

The worst part is it happens on a consistent basis and the same people always come back just to complain again

isn’t that just 2 potatoes?
Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 months ago
This is making me wonder if anyone has ever gone to Wendy’s, ordered 2 large fries and ended up with 2 baked potatoes instead. 🤔
python@lemmy.world 2 months ago
There’s a restaurant chain here in Germany called Frittenwerk, they specialize in Poutine-esque loaded fries. Currently, they’re also offering their usual toppings on baked potatoes instead of the fries and it’s so fucking good

A less blurry version of this would be awesome.
Dicska@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I could only find the “original”, without the bottom text. The one with the comment is just as blurry. Image

That’s good enough! Appreciate it lol.

At least they don’t censor random words to appease the algorithm.

But were there really a hundred little ones when he dumped them on the floor? Did this guy ever see Rainman?
undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 2 months ago
That means the fries were probably not handled with care while they were frozen.
fenrasulfr@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Well, he just lives in the wrong country. In the Netherlands or Belgium (for example) you can get large fries.

I DON’T WANT A LARGE FARVA. I WANT A LITER OF COLA
peteypete420@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Do we have liter cola?
D_C@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
A hundred? I’ve not been to that place in a long long time but the last time I had fries from there it was a large serving -because I always got large- and even then I got, maybe, 50ish fries.
Very highly salted, slightly rubbery, thin slices of ‘potato’ filled with fluffy pieces of fuck all. I wonder why I don’t go there anymore…
Dave@lemmy.nz 2 months ago
Well if you get 50 from a large fries, isn’t it feasible they got 100 from two large fries?

Bored apathetic McDonald’s worker: …. please sir, get off the table …. (then walks away to check the deep fryer)
ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Ironically I currently work at McDonald’s and could not give a single fuck less about what customers do anymore.
The burnout is real 😮💨
mirshafie@europe.pub 2 months ago
If it makes you feel any better, McDonald’s genuinely feels like the safest space when you’re rock bottom. It’s safer than church.
Qwazpoi@lemmy.world 2 months ago
As someone who has never worked in fast food I’m curious as to what TF is happening when I ask for a burger with no pickles.
The McDonald’s near me has decided that if I order with no pickles I should get a cheeseburger with no onions, no pickles, no ketchup, and a ton of mustard. What’s up with that?
Ricaz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
I wonder why it’s so different in the US compared to my country (Denmark). McDonald’s has been awarded “best workplace” for several years in a row.
We do have much stronger regulations on employee welfare, mostly from unions. And of course much higher pay.
