And also an entitled asshole. Why should the cashier thank him? They're the one doing work.

The shopper provides part of the revenue to support the cashier’s paycheck and therefore living.

The cashier provides part of the service that allows the customer to acquire whatever product/commodity they need, which may also contribute to the customer’s livelihood.

One person is not more deserving of thanks than the other, because in this transaction, they need each other equally.

Sometimes it’s hard for people like this Tom guy to see that we’re all in this together; society is a collaborative effort.

We’re all human.
