> The workers vs owners distinction is the same for fast-food cashiers asking "do you want to Super Size that?", or Radio Shack employee asking for my phone number, or a retail employee trying to sell me an "extended warranty". 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'm a customer. I'm happy to allow them some room for corporate bullshit, because they're also doing something I want them to do. What does a telemarketer do for me?
