Customer service really sucks nowadays. Went to get a pizza and I wasn’t greeted nor asked for my name, just stared at until I told them why I was there. The cashier mumbled the entire time and then didn’t even offer a receipt. This behavior is a trend in most service jobs it seems. People with no work ethic or sense of etiquette. I know Disney often gets the brunt of these criticisms, but it really is across the board.

It's been a few years, so I can't remember where I was but I got that same type of initial "service". After waiting what I felt was too long for a "Hi, Can I help you?" greeting I gave them a "Hi. Can you help me?". It kind of threw the person off.

Next time I'll also welcome them to the establishment.

It doesn’t suck everywhere, thank goodness. Don’t return to awful places and reward the good ones. Right now I’m still living in Florida, but in my town there are places with rotten service and wonderful service often standing right next to each other, just like anywhere else. The difference can be staggering. But do try to focus on the folks who genuinely care about what they’re doing. They’re out there. They exist. They could use your business.

This is true. There is a local pizzeria in a town not too far that has great service. I've been going there since I was in college and they still recognize me whenever I order. Seems the bigger problem is with chains in urban areas. Small towns and rural regions aren't as effected.
