    I can tell you what it was for my mother. To her it was a “cheat code” to talk to a manager and get free shit or a discount.

      Which is actually valid, pushing up the chain can get you stuff. So many people just hang on to the minimum wage grunt and expect that to accomplish anything besides making both their days worse.

        Thing is, if you have a valid problem, you can do that politely, not even waste any time with the peon, just say, “Hi, I have a problem that’s going to require a manager, will you please call them for me?”

        If you’re just bitching in search of freebies, you should just not.
