But...why? I never faulted people asking for any sort of discount when I worked retail. Why blame them for simply asking if there was a way to get something cheaper? I couldn't give a fuck if corporate was making less money while my fellow citizen saved some cash.
Based on the stories I have read some people are quite rude about asking for it.
Being able to deny rude people their request is a power play that customer service people can enjoy using.
Oh, well, that's a different situation from the one I interpreted here, I guess. Yeah, unreasonably rude customers of any kind are awful.
Stories like what?
“Dependapotamus” and “dependa” should yield some results.
Stories posted on AskReddit when people are being asked about their jobs.
I don't really use reddit at home anymore so I don't have any exact links.
A lot of them just assume that everywhere bends over backwards for them. It's incredibly obnoxious. Source: was a bartender for a decade
Thank you for your service 🫡
Wait, people asked for a vet discount... at a bar?
I can see a restaurant, but a bar!?
Oh heavens yes, some people have no shame
Seems appropriate. Much faster service for your medication than at the va.
Facts
Because they are military and some people do not like that.
Certain! I'll be honest. We'd start putting way less shame on not knowing and encouraging asking.
