I’m talking about like, service workers and store employees who are miserable and take their anger out on completely innocent people.

If you’re hot and dress nice would it make it less likely for you to be the target of those pieces of shit?

    I don’t think that attractiveness alone is that big of a factor.

    I rarely get shit from people in a workplace like you described, but it’s more because I’m nice to everybody and I don’t respond to aggression with aggression.

    Most people are reactive by default, which is usually what aggressive people are looking for.

    I find that the less aggression you dish out, the less people try to serve it to you.

    That said you could maybe make an argument that attractive people have slightly less to be cranky about on average and maybe that makes them less reactive, etc, but I don’t think that holds weight.

    Most attractive people don’t know they’re attractive, and those who know it still rarely feel it. Self-perception is a bitch for everyone, no matter how you look to other people.

      When I worked with customers I found having a slightly unpleasant look, while working hard, propelled me into stock. They had to be very desperate to use me at the front.

      My secret power was sucking up to management though. A combination of unfriendliness to some and subservience to others is hard to do for many
