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 know if I was insinuating that your experience here is your fault as much as I was giving explicit reasons why it’s probably your fault.

    I’m sure if I told him I won’t move, I would be labelled as aggressive, uncooperative and problem creating.

    Labelled by who? The stranger who wants your table? And then what? And why do you care? This is all you, trying to people please and avoid conflict. Assertiveness is a skill you can learn and would go a long way toward helping you with the problem you’re describing.

        I added “And why do you care?”, but you didn’t respond to anything I said anyway, so why does it matter

          It helps to be a tad more productive/casual in one’s responses to things like this, not give someone the Foghorn Leghorn treatment and expect it to be the final word.

            If I expected what I said to be the final word, why would I have cared about them straight up ignoring what I said. If they didn’t want an honest response to their problem, they shouldn’t have asked a question in this community. Also do you mean “productive/casual” or “superficial/pleasant”
