Came here to make a post about the tourists... my 16 year old daughter works in a Cafe/coffee shop on the green in our village. Every shift she has to deal with loud, mouthy, obnoxious out of towners. Some of these people have an outrageous sense of entitlement, I hope they stop and think about who they're hollering at next time.

I know it sucks, but honestly, that’s just the service industry. Vermonters were a-holes to me when I worked in restaurants.

I feel like other customers in line should call these people out. The employee's hands are tied and everyone deserves humanity.

Absolutely. I can and do tell other customers to keep themselves in check. I think people forget that these workers are children and that it’s completely inappropriate to verbally abuse a child. I once asked a woman how she would feel if someone spoke to her child the way she had spoken to the kid helping her.

Yeah I have a family member who is a server/bartender… some of the locals are assholes just as much as the tourists. And to be fair most of the people who are out of state tip really well. But according to her the worst tippers are the church goer’s.
