    And that’s why mandatory customer service or retail job should be required for every 18 year old for like 6 months.

    It really doesn’t take long working as a waiter, cashier, phone operator to learn respect for the role.

      I don’t know whether that would help as much as you think it will. I just got out of the military, and there are definitely certain people who started out taking a lot of shit from people just like you did at that rank, but their motivation to rank up was because they couldn’t wait to become the people giving people shit.

      I never worked in one of these positions, but I respect the hell out of people who do. I did do a house cleaning job for a bit that was pretty bad and maybe that’s where it’s from, but I think I’ve always had that. I just respect people who do things for others, no matter what it is. I don’t think it needs to be required, but maybe have a system to report people and enough reports forces you to do “community service” in one of these positions.
