10. Very happy to K&R this. Should be applicable across the board

to cover any kind of service industry job. I worked some of these minimum wage jobs when I was much younger. I was very fortunate to not be in the position of having to do that for a living. Anyway, there's always been certain segment of the population that felt that they could treat anyone working in positions like this as their personal slaves, like dirt under their shoes. This rant needs to be heard far and wide.
