  Both are. I worked for one of those.

  Had a customer insult a coworker’s mother. The coworker was in her early twenties, moved to this job from waiting because she couldn’t take dealing with people face to face while she was grieving her mother’s death. She was sobbing on the phone, while the customer kept being an antisocial asshole.

  Many people think only students do these jobs (perplexed why they would even think that) and that makes them believe they can mistreat the employees. There was an interaction between a coworker with no kids and one of these assholes. She was fed up with this shit and bit back, telling them she’s a single mother of two, and to stop assuming who works these jobs. Funnily, it shut the customer up real fast, and suddenly they were apologetic.

  These are just two from the sea of many that I remember off the top of my head years later.

  It’s the same type of people who think fast food workers shouldn’t get a living wage because it’s a “high schooler’s job”.

  One of my family cats is currently at the end of her life due to kidney disease. It really sucks, glad they’re doing something about it. Now if only they could do the same for dogs.

  Not all. Jumping spiders and wolf spiders took all the good eyes and ran away with them.
