Hey it's no biggie they are exempt from all rules, norms, and principals. Their customers love it even more when rules are broken so this is more like a bonus for them.

You joke, but this is actually a pattern I see a lot. Is there a term for this sort of brain dead contrarianism? Ive noticed it for years, mostly among GenX where they will zealously defend any idea/action they heard thats against mainstream narrative.

It’s like a “stick it to the man teenager” stereotype but these people are fucking 50+ years old now.

When you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab them by the PII.
