The phenomenon of "horrid self-entitled people who treat service workers abominably" translates more or less as "people in high-stress lives or who are fundamentally unhappy, looking for someone with less power than themselves whom they can take misdirected revenge upon."
It gets worse, basically, the more stress people are under. Considering that the social safety net in the US is nonexistent compared to that in most EU countries, I'd expect that it probably really IS worse here.
That said, I don't have any experiential basis for comparison - I'm only theorizing.

Or maybe they just had a bad day. Or maybe they had a dreadful upbringing and that's the way they treat people. Or maybe there are a plethora of other reasons. I don't think there's just one that this phenomenon can translate to.

Then he goes outside to run into Emily, who says that she has some spare time now and she'd really like a second date. He's just accepting when Brun texts him saying "Having thought about it, I find you attractive too."
