Interesting framing isn’t it? Customers also feel it’s “not so cool” to experience huge price rises, badly trained staff etc.<p>We had a similar thing in Europe during COVID with those #BeKind campaigns and signs everywhere to treat staff with respect etc.<p>The staff are caught in the middle, the face of the economic issues - and sometimes greed. Can’t be easy for them<p>And today we still have high prices, reduced staff (cost saving), QR codes (cost saving), reduced quality/quantity (cost saving) and rightly people are still annoyed. It feels like we helped repay them for lockdown, and now are continuing to do so.<p>Of course it’s a wider, systemic and economic issue but people are human.<p>And the great thing about the mysterious inflation is that each company/government can just blame another company/government round and round, so it’s nobody’s fault
