Poor treatment<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cY\u2019all treat us like sh-t,\u201d Sami said. \u201cI learned working in retail a long time ago that no one cares about genuine interaction anymore, especially after COVID.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sami said she is a seasoned customer service worker who\u2019s been in the industry for nearly a decade. She\u2019s worked at several popular retailers, including Applebee\u2019s, AT&amp;T, Bealls, CVS, Lowe\u2019s, and Verizon, to name some, mainly on the management side.<\/p>\n<p>Her video has more than 120,000 views as of Sunday. <\/p>\n<p>She used to try making conversation with people, she said, but now what ends up happening is that they try to \u201cstart sh-t,\u201d imply you\u2019re being smart with them, be dismissive and rude, and\/or imply the cashier is stupid.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCustomer service is a give and take, and if you\u2019re taking, and taking, and taking, I\u2019m not gonna give you customer service anymore,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-lacking-management\">2. Lacking management <\/h2>\n<p>\u201cGone are the days of good managers,\u201d Sami continued.<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019s noticed a stark difference pre and post-pandemic, noting that all the good managers were run off due to poor treatment during COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p>She speculated that the current batch of managers at many establishments were likely not trained properly. Sami noticed that these bad managers try to intimidate employees, don\u2019t follow the rules, and treat workers unequally.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-a-mass-exit\">3. A mass exit<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re all f\u2013ing fed up and leaving the industry,\u201d Sami added as her third point.<\/p>\n<p>Sami has noticed that whole generations of people have left the service industry. While many people around her used to enjoy their work, she said it\u2019s become unbearable with the rapid rise of rude customers and \u201cKaren\u201d behavior.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cY\u2019all wanna have a conversation with someone so bad? Call your momma,\u201d Sami said.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-overworked\">4. Overworked<\/h2>\n<p>Cashiers are often on their feet for hours at a time. They could easily interact with dozens to hundreds of people in one day. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s mentally exhausting to have the same conversation with each customer, and no matter how engaged a cashier may seem in the conversation, it\u2019s \u201cpure delusion\u201d to think they actually care about you, Sami said.<\/p>\n<p>She shared that her experience has been so sour in recent years that she went back to school to get her degree so she could work at a nonprofit and help workers sue their employers.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-wild-interactions\">5.
