who owns his own company could be making a lot of money.

Although, I think you're right.

who worked for a towing company during college breaks and the summers. He said that if he knew if he was picking up a luxury car he was prepared be treated like crap.

About once every other year my car gets a flat tire and I need to call AAA. Last time it happened, about a year and a half ago (so I'm getting due for another incident) it was just outside of Boise City, OK. On a Sunday morning. Oh, great, I thought. Tow truck guy showed up in about 30 minutes, and when he saw the damage to my tire, he called the owner of the tire store in town, who came in, opened his store, and sold me a new tire, which the driver then brought back to my car and put it on. Whole thing probably took about 90 minutes, but I was in awe of the service, and tipped the driver twenty bucks.

I think the core problem with people like the women in your story is that they have never had any kind of service job, and perhaps their parents treated the "servants" like crap. I always start with the assumption that most people are working hard and generally know what they are doing. And even though I know all to well that neither assumption is always accurate, I prefer that as a starting point.

Here's something similar: The other day I was in front of the deli counter at my grocery store, and a couple of boys, about 10 and 8, were being a bit rowdy. I realized I had a choice. I could find them annoying, or I could relax and appreciate their high spirits. So I chatted a bit with their mom, spoke briefly to them, and had a very pleasant encounter. We really are in charge of how we react to things.

hotels etc. could tell you stories like that. Most often the entitled are people that have never had to work a day in their life. They feel it is their due for someone to go out of their way to meet their demands. It is not all people of means but it is about half of them. They are also the same people that usually never tip because they feel the people doing their bidding should feel honored they are even bothering with us.

who view anyone with a service industry job as trash, and many have no money to speak of... but they are on VACATION! dammit and you will serve us because we are spending our money in your town. And then they proceed to make everyone miserable as they are in their everyday lives.

There are at least as many nonwealthy who do this as there are wealthy jerks who do it. They are just assholes, rich or not.

After fastening her securely of course.

It's just the logic of the whole deal. A tow driver is supposed to get there asap. He did his job well and got bawled out for it. I wanted to know (but wife didn't ask) if the woman had told the dispatcher when she wanted the driver to arrive.

This could be seen as a safety thing, to prevent false claims of sexual harassment.

But, in reality, it's to tell the obnoxious lady to get her own fucking ride, because you're mean!

I was thinking about how people in the service industry should be able to refuse service to nasty people. Imagine if he had told her she could take as long as she wanted to get her coffee because he wasn't going to give her a tow.

He would have found a way to stop I'm sure.

Threw papers for 6 years till I graduated HS. No one wanted the rich neighborhoods. All they did was bitch about service and prices I did not control. And never tipped.

Upper middle class was where the money was at. Most of them had worked their way up and respected a kid hustling papers.
