Why is it that no one writes about this? 

There are people in the retail sector who have been working throughout the pandemic who are regularly harassed, bullied, verbally abused, etc., just because they are trying to enforce the rules they were told to enforce. 

People want to keep their jobs and so they don't have much choice about telling shoppers to keep distance or limiting the number of customers in the store. 

It would be great if more people acknowledged the employees of a business as human beings who are trying to earn a living instead of treating them as inanimate objects put there just to annoy them.
