It’s called being an arrogant pig! If you can’t treat people with respect then you shouldn’t be in society making a fool of yourself and causing distress to others. Retail and hospitality is stressful enough for the staff without having to put up with arrogant pigs.
I make it a habit of smiling and ask how the staff member‘s day is going. I thank them for their service and wish them a good day. How hard is it for people to be polite and respectful? It matters not what job a person does nor their social status. Treat others with respect and kindness, manners cost nothing. Bad behaviour is always remembered. Staff do remember terrible customers and they will avoid rude people if they see them coming. I think it’s much better to be remembered for being kind and have a welcoming smile to greet each other.
