    Working retail and other shit jobs are only embarassing because the elite have convinced you that they are not worthy of respect.
    I respect a cashiers a hundred times more than any C-level position.

    You can test this yourself:
    Imagine you’re the owner of a bike shop and a friend came in needing bike-work. You would be proud to provide for them and fix any issues they had with their bike.

    So why are we embarassed when checking out people we know at the store?
    Yeah, good question.

      i’m always filled with joy when i see people having a chat with retail workers, it shows people see them as just normal people rather than some sort of automaton.
