@relevance4890 it's interesting that whenever a comment on YouTube receives a lot of up votes there is always someone else who has to add a contrarian comment underneath. It's almost as if they are looking for attention or are simply envious.

@MrBjoern91 it seems like you are more angered by somebody saying that they are polite to people serving them than you are by people not being polite to people serving them. Is that how it is? If so, please stop digging.

@MrBjoern91 Not necessarily. Sounds more like they are simply referring to being served by cafe staff, waiters, air stewards, or shop attendants. Do you see enemies everywhere?

@MrBjoern91 OP "writes Its insane how rude some people are to others serving them." That is objectively true. We've all seen it happen. Many of us have experienced it first hand or worse seen our loved ones be subjected to it. The OP clearly doesn't think it's acceptable to treat service staff badly. The many people who liked the original post clearly agree with the sentiment. The OP then writes " I never realized how someone could be like that, i am always extra courteous to people who serve me." To me it reads as if the OP is clarifying that they don't treat people like that because they feel strongly about that issue and lead by example. Perhaps you read that last part as pompous or conceited but that's rather uncharitable given that it's difficult to read tone on the internet. Moreover, who cares? people that treat serving staff well should be proud of that fact. More people should treat staff with respect. I'm writing as someone who's worked in both a restaurant and bar and has several friends that work in cafes. I've seen my friends get treated badly by jerks for no good reason. I know for a fact that there are jerks out there who think it's OK to treat service staff badly (because they have more money and power or whatever). Perhaps I'm now being uncharitable to you but your hostile comments really seem like the reactions of someone triggered by guilt because deep down they know that they don't treat service staff well or actually believe that it's OK to treat service staff however you want.

@MrBjoern91 frankly it sounds like you are either a misguided contrarian or you are trying to make excuses for people who aren't respectful to service staff. Sure, a minority of people might have legitimate reasons for being grumpy or short, however there are lots of people who treat service people badly because they think that they are better than them. It's those people that the video is actually talking about not people like the OP sticking up for hard working and poorly paid service staff.
