I was taking it as if it were similar in meaning to the word spiteful. But they could be spiteful because they’re butt hurt I guess. “Disgruntled” is a new one for me though so I had to look it up and it does seem a little closer in definition to being butthurt now that I look at it again. I’m actually not sure if “disgruntled” implies an intent for revenge. It probably varies person to person.

But knowing minimum wage jobs from experience and the pettiness that’s so common because so many people are entitled assholes in those positions, I could easily see the revenge part being relevant here. Not saying all minimum wage workers in those positions are petty assholes... but I’ve seen some stuff as a dishwasher that would make you second guess eating out ever again. Just saying... (just a tip from what I’ve observed, even if your waiter/tress is rude to you for no reason, do NOT be rude back to them. Yeah their attitude may be sucky but not as sucky as a burnt meal with a fat loogie dispersed throughout your sauce.) Some people really don’t care and it’s kinda crazy they don’t get caught.

Welllllll, it’s 8:30AM and I haven’t slept at all last night and I’m fixating over the meaning of a word when I have work to do with a deadline. Talk about procrastination...
