The single most indicative character trait

There is a very simple way to find out whether someone is a good person or not.

All you have to do is ask this one question:

Are they respectful to people who work in service jobs?

If the answer is yes, they're a good person.

If the answer is no, they're not.

Of course, I'm drastically oversimplifying the complexities of a person's character. But, with that said, I've overwhelmingly found that if someone doesn't respect members of society who perform the most thankless service jobs (cab drivers, waiters, cleaners, customer service reps, etc.), this type of disrespect translates into a holier-than-thou outlook on life.

On the flip side, people who consider service workers as completely egalitarian and equals, deserving just as much mutual respect as anyone else in this world we all share, then they often have a much healthier and pleasant disposition.
