Not to sound like a boomer, but…
Edit: I’m not saying that people should be super cheery or anything. Just treat each other like human beings. Since when is a quick “how can I help you?” going “above and beyond.”
I used to work in retail. Post covid. I get it. But would it kill y’all to be just a ~touch~ more pleasant to strangers? I know customers suck and the general public is terrible, but good customers or just customers who are in no way memorable far outweigh the crappy ones. I’m not asking y’all to dance like a monkey, but just a little smile (or at least not being rude) can make a world of difference to somebody. Okay. Im done ranting for now.
