It's not that I don't recommend this book or that it doesn't offer a philosophical perspective that warrants review. It is worth reading but it fails to persuade as it offers only a simplified and narrow perspective of human behavior.

This is nothing. The following is barely a slice of the stuff that retail, customer service, and others deal with in the real world. This doesn’t cover the hundreds of thieves, assholes, horrible managers and customers, or the stress of dealing with covid, rioters, protestors, and bad teammates.
Here are just a few photos to demonstrate some of the madness that occurs in the stores that you shop in every day. When you open your doors to the masses you see what society has to offer.
