I worked a service job for several years. People not showing respect was a daily occurrence. A better way to phrase it is people walking over you. It might be 5% under normal circumstances. If you make a mistake to the wrong person they’ll blowup, make a huge scene, yell for the manager, and ultimately get what they would’ve gotten regardless. One of those 2 hours into an 8 hour shift and it gets exhausting putting on a fake smile for 6 hours.

How much of that do you think is because of some abstract understanding of the difficulty of service jobs. I don't think it's a matter of comprehension or professional respect. Some people are just assholes and know they can get away with it
