Sam Speaks (more like a rant)

Hi, hi.
Sam here!
Quick word from the mind of a retail worker:
Please, for the love of whatever you think is good in this world, be kind to cashiers, waiters/waitresses, fast food workers, and retail workers. We can't control the prices. Rarely do we have full control of the products or services we are providing. We're doing our best. We're not paid very well.
Please do not try to get us to bend rules for you; we can risk our jobs doing that, and we have bills to pay, too. Please forgive us if we aren't 100% sure on some information; we have to remember a lot of things. Please do not get mad at us when computers or systems stop working or malfunction or go down; often times these machines are outdated and we can't afford to upgrade.
Above all, please don't get mad at us. Personally speaking, angry people make me more frazzled and I make more mistakes. I do my best to do everything I can, and you trying to make me go faster or purposely making messes doesn't make my minimum wage job easier or more fun.

I'm just trying to pay off college costs, man.
