It sucks, but a lot of managers just haven’t been trained to handle conflict with the guest for the employee. The best places set clear behavior boundaries and have your back when things go sideways. I’d recommend asking about conflict policies in your next interview—it’s a culture thing, not a one-off fix.
"Why do so many places throw staff under the bus just to avoid a Yelp review?" Because they believe that stupid "customer is always right" nonsense. My current manager is good about pushing back against this, which I really appreciate. He's kicked people out before when I'm sure old managers would have just let them continue to act like jerks to avoid making a scene.
Our manager really does have our backs. Sometimes customers have genuine complaints and those are treated with care. Sometimes customers are way out of line and will be asked to leave by management. Really is a bad situation when you have to deal with rude people and zero support.
I feel like a lot of customers are so entitled. They need to show some basic respect to people!
