Vote. Please be polite to service workers after.

Submitted by Space_SkaBoom t3_ypymma in massachusetts

Just finished voting? Great! Going to grab a coffee or a bite to eat after? Great! I just finished a 10 hour shift in food service, and people are rude as hell today, for some reason. I hate to sound like a kindergarten teacher, but please remember to say please, thank you, and HELLO to the people who are helping you. A tip goes a long way as well. Have a nice day.

I went out for breakfast and lunch and I found the workers in the restaurant much happier and friendlier than normal. Maybe they are compensating for customers?

Counterpoint - If a poll worker pulls your completed ballot out of the privacy envelope to "make sure you filled it out right," like happened to me, you can just snatch it back and insist it gets into the machine.

I wasn't aware privacy envelopes were a thing. But then again nobody at all gave a shit what was on my ballot. Dude just stood there waiting in case I had a problem getting the machine to read.

They are, and I was using one. Because, I don't need some old Boomer Biddy "checking my work."

You can request them. They’re supposed to at the table you pick up the ballot. They’re optional

Get off the cross, every job sucks. Do you seriously think this post is going to make a difference?

I didn't realize, "stop being such monstrous assholes to service workers," was a hot take but here we are.
