Renegade Jet Blue flight attendant, Steven Slater, who abused a passenger over the PA system on a Pittsburgh to New York flight before opening the emergency door, grabbing a couple of cold ones and sliding down the escape chute has been hailed as a hero by service industry employees, who claim that abuse from the public is getting out of hand.
Mr Slater was later arrested for public endangerment, but many service employees claim to understand the factors which drove him to breaking point.
Waiting staff in restaurants are frequently belittled by assholes who send meals back in order to impress their dinner date with their power and authority. What happens to those meals in the time they spend back in the kitchen, before being represented to the asshole customer has long been a matter of speculation. But evidence suggests it ain't pleasant.
One service industry employee told a Skoob News reporter:
"We get it all the time. People in our industry serve drunk assholes, drugged up assholes, bad tempered assholes, and just assholes who don't know how to behave differently. But they'd better think twice before they start getting abusive, because we have an entire arsenal of weaponry with which to hit back. And the beauty of it is, that frequently the assholes won't even know they've been stung."
Renowned online satirist, Queen Mudder, told us:
"Of course (sordid ass mess) I'm glad I brought this issue up. Not everybody in the service industry is a Parisian waiter."
More as we get it.
