Showcases awful behaviour

I'm a huge TBBT fan and love the series through and through but I rate this episode as terrible as the scenes with Howard and Bernadette castigating a poor airline employee are shameful. Just blood curdlingly perfect representations of how appallingly so many Americans think they can treat service job workers. The fact that it's not the employee's fault and that their behaviour isn't corrected or acknowledged shows how normal and "acceptable" it is for Americans to treat low paid service workers. An opportunity to teach was missed for the sake of "comedy" and it's really not ok. TBBT is usually so good at addressing crappy societal behaviour but they just run with it in this ep and it makes me sad.
