Salute to all the service industry workers who had to smile through the "oh you poor thing, they're making you work on Christmas" from the people who insisted on using the service on Christmas. If they're really lucky they might even get a few Christian extremist customers who berates them for working on Christmas because that's a sin and they're going to hell.

Friendly reminder the "service industry" includes the overwhelming majority of white-collar jobs in the US.

A financial advisor works in the service industry.

When we say the US has shifted to a "service economy," it's not a reference to retail workers, but to services like banking, data management, etc

customers who berates them for working on Christmas because that’s a sin and they’re going to hell.

The irony here is that working retail on xmas, putting up with customers like this, probably feels like hell all on its own.

I'm not religious, but I've always "understood" hell to be a state of being, a place you currently exist in if you don't follow the teachings that were meant to order society and tell people what behavior is acceptable and what isn't. That if we all act like selfish assholes then we'll "go to hell" as in that's the world we're creating.

So yeah, those extremist religious nutters literally create hell on earth.
