I've worked in Retail and Food as well Cinemas.
(I've been a waiter, ticket taker, popcorn slinger, Gap salesperson, etc.)
The one major thing I learned from these jobs is that I did not want to be doing these jobs for the rest of my life. While there are some great customers, there are many that are complete fuckwads.
I always strive to *not* be a fuckwad when I am dealing with someone in a service industry role. I start off with the assumption they are competent and good at what they do. My expectations are high but not unattainable. I am patient. If you are attentive and reasonable competent, I am good.
