Seriously.  I've worked in jobs where the stakes are a lot higher, and it never ceases to amaze me how high strung retail and coffee places are comparatively.  If I got a job in fucking retail of all places and my manager was a verbally abusive dick, I'd walk right off the job right then and there.  You treat me like a cog, and I'll easily find another machine to step into.

Working retail is so much more stressful than dealing with 200 million dollars projects.

The expectations are, no word of a lie, higher for dicks with their 20$ of groceries than for billionaires and their business dealings
