OK, so you expect the customers to be smarter but isn't the customer entitled to some customer service. I can't tell you how many times I have walked past something and not seen it - then I'll ask the person who WORKS there -and GETS PAID TO HELP where something is (and I'll ask nicely) only to get an attitude like I am the dumbest person in the world.

No, mal, it's not that. It's the stupid questions that get me. If someone asks me if we have a particular kind of beer, or if they ask for recommendations, I'll give them with no trouble. If they ask where something in the store is, I'll steer them in the right direction. If they ask for clarification on something on the menu, I'll help them out. Hell, if they ask where the bathroom (clearly labeled "RESTROOM," usually asked when they're about 2 feet away from it) I'll cheerily point it out.
It's when they ask us where another store is, because they'd rather eat there (which happens a couple dozen times a day). It's when they ask "Do you have low carb beer?" It's when they ask "Do you have a regular Italian?" What the FUCK is a "REGULAR" Italian? ("Italians," by the way, are a certain type of sandwich which only seem to exist in New England, though I've seen similar sandwiches called "grinders" elsewhere.)
I understand that sometimes you miss things. Sometimes something isn't obvious. But please, PLEASE, think before you talk to me. I have LOTS of things to do, and answering dumb shit questions all day is not one of them.

I've only heard of 'lite' meaning low-carb in the past few months.

In the US, it's always been that way. Technically, they're touted as "low calorie," but since carbohydrates are the source of those calories in beer, it's not hard to put 2 and 2 together. The definition of a lite beer in the United States is low carb. If you haven't figured that out yet, you shouldn't be drinking anyway, because you need all the brain cells you can spare.
