We all know who it's aimed at mostly.

On a scale of 1-10 how condescending do you feel it is?

Ive never had anyone tell me to get s real job while working in retail so I wouldnt know. I do pretty well for myself so I wouldnt particularly care. If it did happen Id inquire about how much they make and laugh when its probably less than what I make before bonuses.

well people take real job to mean one that is/can be a career path. Basically office work or specialized work like doctor, dentist, construction worker, etc..

So I would assume the service industry is "fake". They probably take it as jobs meant for college kids to make some money and not something to do forever.

I notice the "get a real job" line usually comes out when a customer is pretty upset

also being a supervisor or manager at said service industry seems to elevate you above the "fake job".

Edit again so people don't take service industry literally. I mean retail and fast food.

It's generally aimed at anyone who doesn't work a M-F 9-5 grind. I work two jobs and can scale my weeks from 0 hours to 60 hours depending on how much time I've got, and I hear that all the time. "So when are you gonna get a real job?" Real job? You know I make more money than you, right? "Yeah, but you don't have a REAL job."

I see it used more often toward Youtubers/streamers/any sort of job like that.

100% of the time it translates to "I resent the fact that you make a living doing something that doesn't suck the life out of you, so I'll pretend what you do isn't actually work despite the effort which goes into everything."
