(14,276 posts)I nearly picked a fight with an asshole in the USPS a year plus ago. He was being a shithead to the workers and patrons.
Was at a fastfood place last week, and watched a customer being a shithead to the cashier. He wasn't yelling and screaming, but I was close enough to hear him mouthing off how "I spoke clear enough. Why don't you listen?"
Postal worker used to be a good job, until the republiCONs took off after USPS with the 75 year pre-funding bullshit intended to destroy the biggest public sector union.
Fast food jobs, like other server jobs, used to be the realm of kids in high school or college. Now I'm seeing more people who are likely retired and just trying to survive by working a fast food job.
I agree with the OP. It's not sustainable.
