They just want to write something light-hearted?
They're going with what they are familiar with?
Everyone else is doing it?
Really absurd and hilarious things can happen when you work in those kind of places, and they want to write about that? Like when I worked in the bar my parents owned, and the volunteer fire department was in there for lunch except for one guy when a call came in about a vehicle on fire. They decided the one guy who wasn't there could handle it, but it turned out the vehicle on fire was his truck. He was the one who called the FD in the first place.

I've never actually read a service industry AU so I don't what tends to happen in them.

Yeah, but unless the canon was super grimdark, what's the problem with a fic of the characters doing something light hearted and familiar in canon setting?

(Though actually, a service industry AU for a really grimdark canon does sound kind of interesting...for the same reason that it's fucking boring for most canons that aren't all grimdark.)

[ketita]

Yeah, but often when you AU a grimdark canon into something fluffy you lose a lot of characterization. The tension is gone, so you have these characters who previously Got Shit Done whinging about silly things and failing to function in life.
tbh, I have yet to encounter a service industry AU that isn't boring. Or OOC.

[tasogare_n_hime]

Because as boring as you find it, they think it's fun.
There are probably the "because everyone else is doing it" and "It's a super popular trend I'll get a lot of reviews/kudos" people. For a lot of people who write it they probably just really enjoy that kind of fic.
