High Schools should have a mandatory class where you work in retail for a while, just so everyone can know what it's like. Hopefully it would cut down on people being dicks to employees.

Probably not. The people who do that will be like, I did my time already...


Well, TBH... It's... kind of why people assume millennials have never had a job. After all, working a job like retail for any prolonged period (more than a month) causes you to pick up certain traits, attitudes, and so-forth. Traits often not found within the entitled brats who've never worked a day in their lives that populate college campuses. I know plenty of people in college do so and work multiple jobs even. However, when you have some twerp talking about PC topics but then choosing to skip out on work making their co-workers lives miserable... you realize just how sheltered they are.

That said... It's a hellhole. I'd suggest at least three to four months for everybody since it teaches you some VERY valuable people skills in both dealing with customers and co-workers; but it's a serious drain on your mental stamina. Don't do it for too long or you'll start to lose your mind.
