Did she ask??

Working a thankless customer service job can be grueling. You get regularly disrespected by both customers and your boss . Customers might yell at you or even in rare situations throw a glass at your head, but they typically don't pose real danger to your safety. They come in, they ruin your night, and then they leave.

It's no wonder some of the most beloved films of all time are coming-of-age stories that deeply resonate with youth and wistful adults alike.
