Excellent point, very logical and persuasive. I'm sure this will be the comment that finally changes my mind!

Of course not - it's not intended to.

The ridiculous part, of course, being that Modern English isn't special, that "no man" didn't mean anything 6,000 years ago when PIE was spoken, and that its contemporary equivalent, smth. like "*ne dʰǵʰemṓn" doesn't mean anything in Modern English.

Also, the actual reconstructed form of "name", *h₃néh₃mn̥, looks a lot less like "no-man" than they seem to think.

"Minimum wage workers should be intentionally rude to people who are probably fellow wage workers instead of finding actually productive ways to push back against their exploitative employers" is certainly a take.

Once again, the 196 circlejerk and the real world are very different places.

Them and everyone else, from the sound of it.

Nope, I was a normal minimum wage employee who worked the counter while I was putting myself through college. I also didn't intentionally antagonize customers who just wanted a happy meal toy for their kid, though, so that may be where the confusion is coming from.
