As someone who spent most of his life in retail, I can very much guarantee that the employees are only rude when the customers display their holier than thou I'm always right complex. A very real fact of retail that employers fail to understand is that the customer is not always right. Catering to the rudeness of customers is a problem that needs to be fixed, because being rude to the employee behind the counter is not acceptable. Thinking one can be rude and get away with it without consequences is even less acceptable. The employees are not the ones who should get in trouble for putting rude customers in their place.
