HR people. Not all of them, just the 90% who give the rest a bad name.
"These are things we all have to put up with" - HR drone, in response to grievances.

Oh really? Last time I checked, you were earning more than national minimum / you work at a site with a subsidised canteen, not just a kettle, microwave, toaster and fridge / you are allowed to use a chair while you work / your building has effective heating in winter and cooling in summer / your building isn't a dangerously out-of-code firetrap lacking emergency lighting, with sometimes-locked firedoors / you don't have to deal with any public, or get threatened with knives / you don't have to do heavy lifting, emptying bins, or cleaning up shite / you don't have to predict the future, or get told off if you fail to predict an order just right / you can order whatever uniform you want or need.

So don't tell me what I have to put up with, isn't much to have to put up with.

Oh, and there's more / Bonus rant:
People (including a former manager) who ask "If you don't like it, why don't you leave?".

Well, I have a counter offer for them. If they don't like the effort of meeting the legal and ethical requirements to be a good manager/employer, why don't *they* leave?
