From one retail worker to another. My most recent one was a lady who had the arrogance to comment on my weight who then yelled "fatso" at me when I ignored her and walked away.

I'm not in America, and as far as I can tell they're just required to provide safe clean drinking water, which they do. They require any water/drinks to be kept around a corner since we deal in food prep sometimes, and as far as I'm aware it doesn't break any labour code. Don't get me wrong, I still do it since only one or two managers actually cares, but it sucks when the power tripping dipshits are on the schedule
