    Wealthier people are by far the most difficult customers. They think they’re entitled to everything because they’re “rich” and “above” wage slaves, so they get pissy and aggressive the moment something doesn’t go their way (and sometimes they’ll just make a ruckus for fun). Source: I worked in a few fast food restaurants in the south before

    It was crazy for me working at a mexican restaurant and the only people who got argumentative over the $13 for a burrito with just 4 oz of meat (total rip-off) were the ones who could definitely afford it, while the poorer people just accepted it. And the wealthy people always came in again (usually regulars) and expected it to be more every time.

      When i worked on pools, the millionaire with a massive “cottage” would argue over $5 worth of product or try to get a refund for unused chemicals the end of the season.

      The family thats working hard to make ends meet barely ever argued. Our prices were fair and they want their kids to be able to enjoy their pool. They were always way more appreciative to the employees doing the work and were more likely to offer water, beer, and snacks.
