have you met many small business owners? not only do most of them absolutely believe they're entitled to your labor, but also to your undying gratitude for their generosity in giving you that slave-wage job.

also, perhaps even more absurdly, they somehow think it's the customers' responsibility to keep them in business-- if they start losing money, the first thought is "what is wrong with these stupid customers," rather than "what is my business doing wrong"
