  I have a coworker who greets me with “Hi, what’s up? How’s it going?” and then just continue walking without expecting an answer. It’s such a pet peeve of mine, lol. We’re not Americans, we live in Europe, and this person is definitely an exception, but it still catches me off guard every single time.

  Both are. I worked for one of those.

  Had a customer insult a coworker’s mother. The coworker was in her early twenties, moved to this job from waiting because she couldn’t take dealing with people face to face while she was grieving her mother’s death. She was sobbing on the phone, while the customer kept being an antisocial asshole.

  Many people think only students do these jobs (perplexed why they would even think that) and that makes them believe they can mistreat the employees. There was an interaction between a coworker with no kids and one of these assholes. She was fed up with this shit and bit back, telling them she’s a single mother of two, and to stop assuming who works these jobs. Funnily, it shut the customer up real fast, and suddenly they were apologetic.

  These are just two from the sea of many that I remember off the top of my head years later.

  It’s the same type of people who think fast food workers shouldn’t get a living wage because it’s a “high schooler’s job”.

  If you’re going to give a “MOBA” as an example, at least go for Dota 2, then. Having played both, LoL is quite one-dimensional and rather repetitive. Of course, you don’t have to be smart or skillful to play either, but top Dota 2 players/pros are really something else.
