The problem here is that the relationship is alienated from the person actually being an asshole. Under wage labor the customer and the employee are both a part of the same class. They both work wage jobs and both have to deal with the frustrations of those jobs.
The one sense of “freedom” that the wage laborers feel is how they spend their money. They are alienated from the actual material impacts of their work. They are offered only a wage and given no incentive to form a relationship with their place of work beyond the paycheck.
So their entire expression of their labor is based upon their consumption and how they spend their earned wages. This is why we have a disconnect between two wage owners. They are both frustrated with the “laws” that govern their consumption and their labor.
The Domino’s employee is frustrated because the customer is making his labor more difficult. He just wants to do the least amount of labor for his pay and ensure his employment is secure.
The Domino’s customer is frustrated because the employee has no control over the means of production. He cannot verbally tell the “owner” of the business his frustrations.
They are both alienated from the beneficiary of the labor and the consumption. It frustrates both of them.
I would say it is one of the most “human” feelings we can have. It is one of the most conflicting parts of capitalism that contridicts human nature.
We want to share the products of our labor, see the beneficiaries of it, and gain praise for it. Our current economic systems are in direct contradiction of this.
Which is why you’ll find people in this thread siding with both the employee and the customer.
