D.I.Y.(ks)
A play on words of Do It Yourself and dicks describing a situation where you go to a job, place, store (home improvement or otherwise), or event and the staff doesn’t really want to be bothered or be helpful so they do the bare minimum and leave you to fend for yourself most of the time under the guise that they are giving you creative space or autonomy.
When I was a kid, I went to the community center to learn how to swim but the instructors just tossed me in the deep end and said “Now, swim bitch!”. They are such D.I.Y.(ks).
Or
I walked into the most ghetto hardware store I have ever seen. Obviously no one gives a fuck about customer service. When I told the clerks who were chatting at the front counter that I was re-doing the sink at my house for the 1st time, instead of asking me questions or offing to help me pick materials, one just nodded in the direction of the copper pipe and they went back to their conversation. Puro D.I.Y.(is)!
