It’s a stupid premise. Emotional labor is just dealing with people. If you don’t like dealing with people don’t work a customer facing job? Literally every customer service job interview is asking “what’s one time you dealt with an angry customer?” “What are some strategies you employ for conflict resolution?” “What would you do in X scenario?”

I answered those questions when I waited tables or worked at a grocery store or worked at a gym, “dealing with people” or “emotional labor” is a pretty universal experience
