I agree with this sentiment, but that would be a whole lot easier if 99% of customers didn't spend all their time dehumanizing the workers and acting like we're fucking subhuman and only exist to serve them.
Kinda hard to thread that needle when you're busy being dehumanized yourself every fucking day.
And to be fair, that's the point, they want us all dehumanized and unable to help one another outside the corporate system.
Knowing that doesn't make it easier though when you're dealing with uneducated cro-magnon fuckhead customers who think they own you and bosses who essentially do own you.
