During my penance in food service in my earlier years, I worked for a while for what was literally the only pizza joint in town that had delivery. (This was well before all the food delivery apps and in fact in the pre-smartphone era.) When we would not accede to whatever ridiculous demand a customer was having a tantrum about and they threatened to never order here again, my boss would just say, "Okay, fine, see you next week."

He was usually right, too.

I don't want to seem like a prick, but all the Internet comics I see are so lazy and devoid of any humour... there's no joke in them at all, and just seems like someone who wants to post a bland message to get their "comic strip" seen. Is this Calvin and hobbes quality? No. Is there anything groundbreaking and funny? Nope. I just want lemmy to actually have some good stuff on it

This is the natural consequence of a business that is not worker owned.

Me, a driving instructor: "If you don't want to learn, there's the door. No. No need to slow down or stop, I have my own brake pedal here, thank you"

In my opinion, those sort of businesses are also the ones that end up crying out when they lose to bigger players in the space who are willing with those sort of customers. At the end of the day, are you there to feel good, or are you there to get money? Here's a little secret: nobody cares about those sort of people, it's just that some care more about the money they can get from them than others.

For me, it's right up there with tech support that complain about the trivial bullshit they are called for when it is that trivial bullshit that gives them a job.

Customer service rep - idc.

Customer- stops frequenting the store.

Boss - "Welp, we're through, you're fired."

The right attitude.

Between people boycotting certain brick and mortars for political reasons and the monopoly that is Amazon, there are not a lot of options.
