    I started asking people that express these kinds of opinions if they themselves have witnessed what they’re claiming. Sadly, they all say yes and I’ve stopped believing them.

      See now, I believe that they’ve seen a stare from service industry workers, but I’d bet it’s the “dealing with assholes” dead-eyed stare, which is multigenerational. If they say they see it everywhere they’re telling on themselves.
