I actually really like the idea of a "shitty job draft" like the military draft but for jobs everyone hates to do.
Because maybe if everyone had a lottery chance of ending up having to do it for a few shifts, those jobs would quickly become less terrible to do.
Mandatory Military Service? Try Mandatory Customer Service.
With how people behave? Fuck it, front line infantry. People are shitty, it doesn't matter age, socio-economic status or anything else, you will get shitty people, constantly. At least the infantry is allowed to shoot the fuckers.
Oh, and I was in my country's Navy.
Which is exactly why nobody callous enough to become and remain a billionaire should be sent there.
They're less likely to value the life and well-being of other humans over any kind of advantage for themselves, so maybe don't give them military grade weaponry when forcing them to mingle with poor people and foreigners..
I think I may have been unclear. Given the choice between military service or customer service, I would choose military service without fail. Even if it is the job with a high risk.
