My complaint about younger people (teenager or thereabouts) in service jobs is that they're idiots. Does this need explaining?

The wonderful thing about retail and service jobs is that, no matter what, the person on one side of the counter is convinced that the person on the other side is the stupidest person in the history of all mankind. And vice versa.I worked at Starbucks right after college, and I swear to God people must have checked their brains at the door before ordering. (My favorite customer complaint... a common one... was, "Excuse me... can I get a new cappuccino? This one you gave me is half foam.") We behind the counter were the gentle, enlightened sages who were far superior to the coffee-swilling morons who came in day by day.Now, a few years later, when I find myself a patron of Starbucks, I'm convinced that Starbucks clerks are the stupidest people in the history of all mankind. They must check their freakin' brains at the door before putting on their aprons.

You'd honestly be amazed how often that complaint is made. At least one out of every four people who ordered a cappuccino sent it back for that reason.And the worst part is you can't say, "Would you like a latte then, sir?" Because then they demand to speak to the manager to report your smarmy little ass.

They were put there by a man, in a factory downtown...*Ahem*... sorry. High-school freshman flashbacks... Good God, next thing you know I'll be humming Collective Soul...

I think we can all relate to that. I just got into Nirvana about six months ago, because I finally had to admit that yes, they did indeed Rock.
