People Are Sharing Screenshots Of Amazon Employees Flirting With Them (14 Pics)
Working in customer service has its ups and downs. You get to help a lot of interesting people, but on the flip side, your job can be a bit boring or unfulfilling at times. However, even if things get tough, customers expect you to remain professional at all times. However, not everyone is capable of staying emotionless, as Twitter user Roxana showed everyone.
She posted a few screenshots and said that an Amazon customer service guy started flirting with her while helping her out with her query. Turns out, Roxana isn’t the only one to have been in a situation like this—others posted their own encounters with what they believe were flirty customer service personnel, both from Amazon and elsewhere. However, some people think that this isn’t flirting but that these customer service employees simply really know how to engage with their clients and were being nice.
Scroll down and have a look, dear Pandas. If you have any similar stories to tell, let us know in the comments below.

Roxana’s thread was wildly popular. With over 305k likes, more than 21.5k retweets, and 1.6k quote tweets in just a few days, she reached a sizeable chunk of Twitter with her story.
We’re pretty darn sure that Amazon (or any of the other companies Twitter users mentioned in the thread) doesn’t pay its employees to flirt at work. So what does Amazon expect from its customer service associates?
“Our associates are bright, articulate, and detail-oriented with a genuine desire to find solutions to customer problems. We are seeking action-oriented, flexible problem-solvers to assist customers in expediting orders and correcting post-sale problems,” Amazon boasts about the qualities that their associates working in 130 locations in 40+ countries ought to have.
Meanwhile, Harver points out that the top 5 qualities expected from professional customer service employees include emotional intelligence, humility, being tech-savvy, patience, and good listening skills.
So while it’s important to connect with customers on an emotional level and to be empathetic, it’s also vital to draw a line when it comes to potentially romantic behavior. The same goes for customers who might try flirting with customer service employees, too: it’s best to keep things professional and avoid making anyone uncomfortable.
Meanwhile, some Twitter users showed proof that some customer service employees from other companies tried flirting with them, too

Share on FacebookAm I the only one who thinks the majority of these are not flirting? I mean saying "thanks for being understanding and kind" is....just good customer service? Complimenting someone's name and their smile is quite different.
I thought the same, in the few that I read, u felt the rep is happy that the customer is being a decent human..🙂
Load More Replies...That is not flirting, that is smart training of your customer service employees......
Some people need to chill, it's not flirting...!!! If only my eyes could roll a little bit more
A lot of customers are hateful and rude; the fact that these customers have obviously been polite and courteous have made the customer service employees want to thank them.
Lol! They are just trying to be nice. Chillax! :D I guess most of the service people are from completely different culture and they are just trying their best to earn some internal badges or points. Cashiers in shops or bartenders are forced to smile too, does not mean they are friendly or flirting, but some guys think they are!!! So no, snowflake, you are not that beautiful. :DDDDD
Yeah that is not flirting, I work in a call center and we have to "connect" with the customer. You know make them feel good just for talking with you. If anything I have customers flirting with me because me voice "sounds nice".
I appreciate, I hated times when I had to be a whole hour on the phone with reps and they would be all robot like. I actually said a few times "please stop replying like a robot!"

They show a male or female name at random from a selection of 100 or so names. Chris/Pablo/Faiz - they're carefully chosen to represent an image of multi-cultural-ism. Therefore the person chatting might not be a man flirting with a woman or vice-versa, and it might be a poor choice of words from someone who English is not their first language. Many Amazon chat agents are in the Philippines or India.
Hmm, that's a good point. Maybe the quaintness of how another culture expresses themselves in gratitude sounds flirty to Western ears?
Load More Replies...yeah i agree these are really just hard working workers doing there jobs but not all of them
I think you're cute Corrine...and you have a beautiful name...I bet your beauty doesn't stop there ;)
