HOT TAKE TOURNAMENT!
PRELIMINARY #262
Tumblr media
Submission 901
Everyone should be required to work a "service sector" (food, retail, telephone tech support etc) job for a year while in highschool, otherwise they shouldn't graduate.
While, yeah, there are some folks who wouldn't get it (that's humankind for you), most folks would benefit from seeing what is actually in the control of your average service worker, and perhaps it would make working those jobs less traumatic in the long run.
Propaganda is always encouraged!
And remember to reblog your favourite polls for exposure!

I don't wanna be that person but pls teach your kids how to behave in stores. Us, retail workers, already suffer enough. And in the meantime teach yourself how to behave in stores.

Public library patrons are so much nicer than retail customers and it’s not even funny.
You don’t have that exact thing I want? Okay, fine. I have to wait an indeterminate amount of time — probably weeks — for my requested items to come from another library? Sure. You’re willing to walk me through this tricky process that I could probably do for myself? I am overwhelmed with gratitude, I shall name my firstborn for you!
I have had people thank me profusely just for standing next to the staff member who actually helped them. They thank me for walking by as they are leaving the building! It’s wild!
And I think it’s entirely because just about everything libraries provide is free at point of service. Once money — i. e. the stuff you need to get everything you require to not die — is off the table, everyone gets a lot nicer! Who would have thought?

When a customer tells you that they're prediabetic "despite them being a vegan "
Tumblr media
But then they tell you that it "should've been you" because you're overweight and "obviously eat meat and bread"

A Reproducible Method
If we boil the SB Workers United Campaign down to its essentials, we’re left with a worker organizing method for corporate chains that can be sparked by any organization with sufficient labor and resources. The SB Workers United organizing history is summarized as follows:
A core group of workers reach out to a local union for support.
Workers create Starbucks Workers United, which handles media strategy and creates a central point of contact (a website) to which inspired workers around the country can reach out.
SB Workers United goes public with the notice of NLRB elections, which draws media attention.
Each victory is highly publicized, drawing in new worker leads through the SB Workers United website, which then sends them to professional union staff for training and support in organizing local stores.

yknow, one of the sad things retail has shown me is that the average middle aged/older person has no manners. when i say to customers at work "what can i do for you?" i get "i need" or "i want" or even straight up "give me". theres rarely any "may i" and god forbid they say please. its not hard to look a person in the eyes, say "can i please get ___" instead of barely acknowledging me and barking demands at me like i'm a robot. it's disrespectful. and it's really sad that the generations that taught us manners growing up seem to have forgotten theirs entirely.

Actual interaction I had last week after getting a raise
I went from making 14.85 an hour to 14.95. Oh and 15 is the max the position I’m in can earn so next and final raise will be 5 cents.
