Judging by the comments here, everyone is going to be thrown off sufficiently to watch their behavior.

You'd think so, but people can be downright cruel to those they think are 'under' them, and guess what every person working a job that can't get them fired (so no business-to-business contacts) is to them?

I remember working in a customer facing role when I was a teen, and occasionally had to tell people the place was closed due to weather. They would accuse me of being everything under the sun and personally on a vendetta to make their lives miserable... and there was nothing I could do about it aside from calling the police if they actually started making threats.
