    FINALLY AN OWNER WHO TELLS A CUSTOMER THE ACTUAL TRUTH. (ok I know like half of these are that but let me be happy) "will you please open your eyes" "mind reading the stupid is not one of our skills."

    Some customers develop a deep sense of entitlement, a belief that their wants and opinions should automatically take priority, because they’ve been conditioned to expect exceptional treatment. In today’s consumer culture, businesses compete fiercely for loyalty, dangling perks like free returns, 24/7 support, and personalized service.

    While these offerings can delight genuine patrons, they also send an implicit message: “You’re always right, and we exist to cater to you.” Over time, some buyers internalize that promise too literally, expecting limitless accommodations without regard for fairness or feasibility.

    Social media and online review platforms amplify this dynamic. When one customer’s dramatic complaint earns swift apologies, compensation, and public sympathy, observers learn that complaining loudly, sometimes even dishonestly, can yield generous rewards. The viral nature of customer‑service callouts creates perverse incentives: a minor inconvenience becomes an opportunity to leverage maximum concessions.

    Oh, I have no experience, but I saw something, and misinterpreted it, and I'm in the RIGHT, obviously. Assuming is always dangerous. Have this even here on BP, when people knowing almost 0 about a subject, are eager to jump for judging and arguing about BS.

    As a result, entitlement flourishes, fueled by the perception that volume and visibility trump courtesy and goodwill. Personal psychology plays a role, too. Individuals with high levels of narcissism or low empathy are more likely to see service providers as faceless tools rather than fellow humans.

    They view every interaction through the lens of what they can extract, discounts, freebies, upgrades, rather than what reciprocal respect demands. For them, the customer‑is‑always‑right mantra becomes a license to bully or manipulate, because they feel no obligation to consider the stress and cost their demands impose on employees.

    The idea would never have occurred to me. Bc it's obnoxious, entitled and literally makes no sense.They are a store not a moving company? Should I dig up the makers of my antique furniture and demand them relocate as well?

    Cultural factors contribute as well. In societies that emphasize individual rights over collective responsibility, consumers are taught from a young age to advocate for themselves at all costs. “Know your rights,” “don’t settle for less,” and “if you’re not happy, take your business elsewhere” become battle cries.

    In many places it would illegal to serve alcohol before 11. There would be the 'we're not open yet', and also 'we legally can't serve you' aspects.

    While these principles protect against genuine mistreatment, they also foster a transactional mindset in which any perceived slight is grounds for escalation, rather than an invitation to dialogue or compromise.

    I refuse to go to a restaurant within ~ 15 mins of their closing time. It’s 8:43 and they close at 9:00? We’re picking another restaurant lmao 😂 I’ve had friends argue with me about this but I refuse to be THAT customer.

    Finally, inconsistent enforcement of policies can deepen entitlement. When companies bend the rules for some customers, expediting a return past the deadline, waiving fees, or offering special treatment without explanation, it creates a patchwork of expectations. Future shoppers assume they, too, will receive the same exceptions, even if they don’t merit them.

    This inconsistency erodes trust in fair standards and emboldens customers to demand preferential treatment, convinced that leniency is the norm rather than the exception. Understanding why some customers become deeply entitled doesn’t excuse poor behavior, but it does point toward solutions.

    Clear, consistently enforced policies; empathetic yet firm communication; and a balanced approach that values both customer satisfaction and employee well‑being can curb entitlement before it becomes toxic. In the end, healthy commerce relies on mutual respect: customers who appreciate good service and companies that deliver it without encouraging unreasonable demands.

    "this establishment, in honoring people who died in a terrible terrorist attack, wasn't funny" Imagine dying to something that no one expected, that people are still affected by, and then someone posts something online complaining it wasn't funny.

    my correct opinion: racists shouldn't be allowed to use ANY products originating in the country they have a prejudice against. Don't like Indian people? You can't drink tea. Don't like Chinese people? You can't use paper.

    In Europe, we try to season our food well enough so it can be enjoyed without having to smother it in a white, goopy substance so we can force it down our throats. And maybe one day the errant colonies will advance enough to learn to operate the cutting edge technology that is "the knife"...
