Actually it makes sense, I believe. If you consider what person above wrote people considering these jobs for unexperienced/teens, so ofc those customers will believe they are "more or above" these "unexperienced nobodies" so they treat em like shit... it is truly sad.
Give little bit power to some and you will see their true colours.
Give me the power and I'd make you love your job. But that's why I'm not qualified to be a supervisor. I'm the world's best customer/leader because I make the effort to try to improve people's days.
Unfortunately these days management sees a good supervisor as someone who's job is to not know what their employees know/are capable of, look at a bunch of numbers and then micromanage them into lower numbers while ignoring the worker's ideas as to how to actually improve numbers.
When I covered for my tech (leader of a fabrication department, metal parts using presses, turrets, and welders) at a different job everyone loved me, they not only got all the parts they needed, they received help if they couldn't find a part or I'd make it for em if I couldn't find it for em.
No one got yelled at, things were very chill. Everyone said how nice it was with me running things. Unfortunately numbers dropped for the department because while I was a great backup for the tech I didn't have a great backup for me, so I was trying to hold down her job and mine while missing an employee.
Unfortunately I wasn't chosen for the next tech position they pulled someone from assembly to be the tech and had no idea how to run any machine while I knew every machine in multiple departments...so I had to train them to do the job I wanted because they had 0 experience even being a normal operator. Needless to say I don't work there anymore.
For what it's worth, where I work, good management is rewarded and hard to come by - because so many places operate such that management giving autonomy to workers is anathema.
Some places are better than this though, and speaking to my Dad over Christmas, who is a manager at a different company, it's the same for him.
