When at a restaurant loudly say "behind!" when walking by staff members so they know you used to work at a restaurant too or respect restaurants. Personally, I also like to drop hints by using industry terms like "reso". In case you're wondering, "industry" is another good word to use.

When crossing a Starbucks picket line you have to meekly walk by and shrug your shoulders and say "oh I'm really sorry, I didn't know... I made a mobile order but I won't do it again and I'm in a rush sorry, I'm seriously sorry!"

Ask them where items in different departments are and then compliment them for knowing. If they don't know tell them they'll get it next time and smile

Hit as many stores/restaurants as possible on holidays. When checking out or talking to your waiters let them know that you think its unreasonable they have to work on thanksgiving/Christmas/whatever.

service industries hate the "closing tasks" because it means they're about to go home

arrive 5 minutes before closing to ensure that workers can spend as much time as possible at their favorite place, work

I like to put five dollar bills on the table and take one away after every mistake, but it's just a joke and I actually give them a good tip. They find it hilarious every time.

I start out with 0 dollars on the table, and everytime they do something good I smile, nod my head and put a dollar on the table.

This is a bad idea and will just make their colleagues jealous, you should not tip at all so that owners are motivated to pay their employees better

I don't tip so the restaurant goes out of business faster and the server is more poor which makes them realize relying on tips is bullshit. Some people call me a hero but I'm just a normal guy fighting the good fight.

I like to be mindful about local Hawaiian's opinions about tourism, which is why I call them "braddah" or "uncle" when I'm buying croissants and frozen pizzas for my vacation at the Lihue Costco so they don't think I'm encroaching on their land

When the server asks "how is everything?" recount to them your life story and all its woes, and through sharing your struggles the two of you may find some commonality.
