I once told someone, very publicly, something along the lines of “I hope other people treat you the way you just treated me.” I don’t know if the recipient got it, but the other people who were lined up to interact with her sure did (USPS office).
The original is more subtle: “I hope your day is as pleasant as you are,” since it subtly implies the negative without outright stating it.
To go even more subtle, you can simply say “I hope you have the day you deserve.” The brilliance of this one is, no one thinks they’re the villain, so the person will think you’re wishing them a good day. It depends on what they think of you (or what they think of what you think of them). If you’re generally a well-natured sort who sees the good in people, they will probably take it as a compliment. But if you’re more of a realist and you tend to treat people as they deserve, they might be second-guessing it.
I hope the rest of your day is as pleasant as you weren’t.

‘I hope that you get all of the good things in life that you deserve’ can certainly go either way.
