Which is actually valid, pushing up the chain can get you stuff. So many people just hang on to the minimum wage grunt and expect that to accomplish anything besides making both their days worse.

Thing is, if you have a valid problem, you can do that politely, not even waste any time with the peon, just say, "Hi, I have a problem that's going to require a manager, will you please call them for me?"

If you're just bitching in search of freebies, you should just not.

Yeah. And not only does the person behind the register not give a shit about losing your patronage, if you come out of the gate acting like an asshole, many of them will 100% make your life more difficult just to fuck with you because they're bored.

It's amazing how far common courtesy can go in situations like this.

I feel like everyone should be required to work like a year in retail or something, so they know how to behave

It might be valid, but not very moral.
