Working a minimum wage job in your teenage years is a rite of passage: it changes how you view status, identity, and most importantly, you touch grass in a way that no Paulo Coelho or Hermann Hesse novel is capable of substituting. The maturity that grows in a young person working a “low” job is transformative via experience.
I can always tell when someone’s never had one of those jobs - they treat service people differently (and it’s kind of independent of class or upbringing). They might not mean to be standoffish, they might not even realize when they’re being disrespectful because they’ve never been on the other side and therefore can’t empathize. They can’t see that, through the thin veil of customer service, the other person is just a normal guy or girl not too far off from themselves.
