This is why everyone should work a service job at some point in their life.

  
Maybe fast food, maybe retail, but some sort of a job where YOU have to serve others.  So people can see what it's like.  To deal with the bullshit.  The constant phone ringing. The rude customers.  The busy days where it's non-stop business on your feet.  Where your co-workers call in every day and you're stuck having to cover by yourself.

  
Then I think everyone would have a lot more appreciation and patience for what service industry people go through.

Agree. When I was young, worked for three different fast food places, a hospital dish room, and a now defunct retailer as both sales and management.  This was all long before my career as a software engineer. Those early experiences definitely give me a respect for those working those jobs today.
