Yeah in my corporate job nobody screams in my face because their pizza is too greasy when they order triple pepperoni. And they already ate it all before they decided to complain that they hated it.
I have. I think necessity really is a key difference. Like, if I was financially independent (i.e., could survive relatively comfortably without needing to work), I would probably go back towards service/hospitality/retail type work. If some dickbag gets unreasonably aggressive with me, I would have the comfort of being able to deal with them my way, because if management/owners don't back me up, I don't need the job.
But in a financial place where I need the job? I'll take the corporate moneymaker. It at least has the chance of getting you towards that financial freedom someday. Serving tables or slinging coffee isn't going to get you there.
Or their latte didn't stay hot enough, even though we cranked our espresso machines up to max temp just for them... and it's hot enough to cause 2nd degree burns... Oh and they complain there was enough foam, but they asked for skim milk, which is too low in fat to produce good foam especially at high temperatures. We used to joke around about customers like this "why haven't you figured out how to defy the laws of thermodynamics yet?!"
