Service and retail workers are essentially powerless when interacting with customers. There are many, many people who realize this and take the opportunity to abuse another person because they can't be held accountable.

You can always tell who somebody is by how they treat waiters.

When I was in college, I used to wait tables some days at lunch at a restaurant near the campus. We had some professors whose hearts bled for the oppressed of the world in the classroom, but who would turn around and treat waiters like shit when they came in for lunch. That was one of my first lessons in performative virtue. Meanwhile, the evil capitalist bank employees from across the street were perfectly nice.

Something about college professors being sociopaths. They indoctrinate young adults into insidious ideologies under the guise of love. I have no love for the banks, but I definitely prefer them over college professors.

I should say that we also had professors who were wonderful customers, but some of the social justice professors were really awful. For example, I happen to know that there were some catering companies that refused to work for Henry Louis Gates more than once because he was so nasty to them and their employees. He has a pretty bad reputation in academic circles for being extremely unpleasant.

I think the further you stray away from hard sciences and subjects which require a skill set (music, archaeology, etc.) the more you stray into academic areas which are essentially explorations of individual professors' own egos.

That's the impression I had in college, though.

I don’t know who Henry Louis Gates is, but reading what you’ve said about him, I guess I’m not missing much.

I hate how people treat minimum wage employees. It doesn't take much to be a decent human. "Please," "Thank you," etc. It's kindergarten stuff.
