The Struggles of Customer Service Workers

Working in retail, hospitality, or service can be incredibly challenging, especially when faced with increasingly entitled customers. The frustration of dealing with unreasonable demands seems to be growing.

Entitlement in Customer Service

If you've ever worked in these industries, you might have experienced some outrageous requests. For example, imagine working at a busy restaurant on a Saturday night and a customer walks in, demanding a table for 15 people, only to berate you when it's not available.

Customer Demands

In other scenarios, you might encounter an influencer seeking free products or services in exchange for exposure, or guests at a resort demanding room upgrades over minor issues, like a picture frame being slightly crooked.
