Customer Wars

This A&E Reality TV show uses security cameras and cellphone footage to show the everyday confrontations in retail establishments. Personal cellphones are everywhere and everybody is recording everything. It's a couple of years after the pandemic. Retail is deteriorating. Tempers are frayed. Some of this footage are well-known and infamous. Nevertheless, it paints a picture of modern incivility and general stress. I am reminded of Cops where an one-sided view of the world is being presented. This is fun until I started wondering if this contributes to the disfunction or is simply a reflection of it.

Annoying and aggravating over editing destroys the the cohesion of what the viewer is trying to watch.

Another reviewer summed it up nicely. They play a bit of the clip, stop, rewind it a few times, explain what you're going to see, then they cliffhang you on an ad, and when they come back, its a pure anticlimax.

JUST ROLL THE CLIP! We don't need to see the lead up several times!

99% of the clips can be found on youtube or even instagram without all of the BS the creators of this show put you through.

Sadly this show is a carbon copy of all of the other video clip shows. Same editing. Same over hype. Same teasing of the viewer.

It may be okay for low brow/low attention span viewers, but for anyone with an IQ greater than that of a cucumber, it's tedious and infantile.
