&gt; The workers vs owners distinction is the same for fast-food cashiers asking &quot;do you want to Super Size that?&quot;, or Radio Shack employee asking for my phone number, or a retail employee trying to sell me an &quot;extended warranty&quot;.<p>Each of your examples is providing me with a service; making food, ringing up my order, charging my card, or otherwise servicing the store of which I&#x27;m a customer. I&#x27;m happy to allow them some room for corporate bullshit, because they&#x27;re also doing something I want them to do.<p>What does a telemarketer do for me?
