I honestly do wonder where the average person thinks the customer service workers have some kind of stake in the company or something. Getting fired from a job like that is only a minor inconvenience, and the odds of their complaint being anywhere near a firable offense is usually laughable (and half the time the opposite as usually it’s wanting the employee to break store policy).
I can tell you what it was for my mother. To her it was a “cheat code” to talk to a manager and get free shit or a discount.
Which is actually valid, pushing up the chain can get you stuff. So many people just hang on to the minimum wage grunt and expect that to accomplish anything besides making both their days worse.
It might be valid, but not very moral.

Thing is, if you have a valid problem, you can do that politely, not even waste any time with the peon, just say, “Hi, I have a problem that’s going to require a manager, will you please call them for me?”

If you’re just bitching in search of freebies, you should just not.

Yeah. And not only does the person behind the register not give a shit about losing your patronage, if you come out of the gate acting like an asshole, many of them will 100% make your life more difficult just to fuck with you because they’re bored.
