In my opinion, those sort of businesses are also the ones that end up crying out when they lose to bigger players in the space who are willing with those sort of customers. At the end of the day, are you there to feel good, or are you there to get money? Here’s a little secret: nobody cares about those sort of people, it’s just that some care more about the money they can get from them than others.
For me, it’s right up there with tech support that complain about the trivial bullshit they are called for when it is that trivial bullshit that gives them a job.
If this comic was about a small business with the owner stood behind the counter like “I don’t care” then I’d totally get your point, but I don’t think that’s what it is.
This is a comic about a minimum wage slave working at a branch of some faceless retail supergiant, who gets constantly shit on by customers as if they themselves are personally responsible for whatever policymaking at this enormous company has upset the customer, as if they could change anything about it even if they tried.
It’s about angry customers putting their vitriolic remarks in completely the wrong place because they just need a human victim and they don’t care who it is. And it’s about learning how to deal with that as an employee so you don’t lose your sanity.

I don’t think it’s really like that.
