I guess I'm not comparing the degradation as much as the complete hate for what you're doing.
And I'm definitely not comparing it to anyone in the industry who has felt violated.
In customer service, I have been cursed at and expected to tend to the every need of the customer, I have been degraded and I have seen people experience racism, I have had things thrown at me and I have been reported for simply standing up for another worker.
It's degrading because people think that you are there to bow down to them, simply because you are there to help.
My pregnant best friend has been yelled at to go faster and for other things just because the customers were in a bad mood.
It's different and incomparable to those who have felt violated, but the fact that it's degrading, and that the managers simply brush your experiences away because "the customer is always right" is disgusting.
Absolutely horrible.
