If this comic was about a small business with the owner stood behind the counter like “I don’t care” then I’d totally get your point, but I don’t think that’s what it is.
This is a comic about a minimum wage slave working at a branch of some faceless retail supergiant, who gets constantly shit on by customers as if they themselves are personally responsible for whatever policymaking at this enormous company has upset the customer, and as if they could change anything about it even if they tried.
It’s about angry customers putting their vitriolic remarks in completely the wrong place because they just need a human victim and they don’t care who it is. And it’s about learning how to deal with that as an employee so you don’t lose your sanity.
Honestly, that’s not what I see from them. They may have the lowest paid employee working cashier, but the people who handle customer service desks are chosen and trained to handle these sort of situations diplomatically, even when effectively the same thing happens and they just talk bad about these clowns in the staff room. The only places I see people just openly admitting “I don’t care” attitude openly are usually people on a second hand market apps and people with small businesses who have their local market penned in. Might just be my experience, I’m also not in the US.
