Entitled People, Social Issues
ADVERTIsem*nT
Working a food service job is by no means easy. The hours tend to be long, the work is usually quite demanding, and, on top of all that, there are some entitled customers who act as if they’re deliberately trying to make the lives of these workers more difficult.
For example, one Redditor recently shared how, when she was working at an ice cream shop and sold a portion to a young girl, the girl’s mother soon raised hell and called for a manager, angrily explaining that she had no right to do that. Scroll down to read the full story!

Working in a food service job is stressful as is, but unfortunately, some customers feel the need to make it a little bit more so

Soon after, the girl’s mother rushed over and demanded a refund, saying that she shouldn’t have sold ice cream to a child without a parent

Hey! I’m Dominykas, and I come from Lithuania. According to my diploma, I’m a UX Designer. However, when during my studies, I (re)discovered my passion for storytelling, I’ve been doing that ever since, mostly in writing. I have written a few short stories, some songs, and a good bunch of articles, and I plan to keep expanding on all these fronts. Aside from that, I’m also a film buff, traveler, casual basketball player, video game enthusiast, and nature lover who will rarely pass up on a little hike through the forest or a simple walk around a park.

So she is supposed to check ID on anyone that looks like they could possibly be under the age of 18 to make sure they are old enough to buy ice cream alone?

If kids couldn't buy ice cream without a parent, ice cream trucks would never have existed. I bet if the owner heard what the manager said, the manager would be fired on the spot for being a moron.

No necessarily. In the service industry, the higher-ups usually feel that repeat business is more valuable than placating a customer with the occasional undeserved freebie. Starbucks is the worst with their "Just Say Yes" nonsense. It has poisoned the industry by rewarding problem behavior and encouraging a sense of entitlement.
