This is why I'm good at customer service jobs too 😂 I had the joy of one customer calling and saying I overcharged her for ham, her and all her friends had done the equations and according to the price per kilo it should be lower. I apologised, asked her if she could read me the weight, price per kilo, and charge price. Types it into my calculator "hmm, I seem to be getting the charge price as correct on my calculator. Perhaps it is not working properly. Do you have your calculator with you still?" I heard her tapping, then a "hmph" and dial tone. I enjoyed every second.

So they could vent, and supportively tell each other how legitimately annoyed they are... good idea.

This was my sister when we both worked at Sears parts & service. "Hey Sis! Kenmore Dryer Timer K**b?" Her reply "Part number 68215ken. Second row from the front, third shelf up, in the middle."

It's will please you to learn that that is not the full saying. The full saying is "the customer is always right in matters of taste"

"Airgasm" Definition: The pleasurable breath of fresh air, one gets when leaving a stuffy office after a long shift. Or removing their face mask after arriving home.

I know it doesn’t work in every situation, but I usually try to tell people, "I need to finish xyz, then I‘ll be right with you." Lets people know you saw them and will tend to them and gives them a time frame.

Can we make an ad with all the ppl who have breathing disorders, wearing their masks and saying hey dipshit I can barely process oxygen in my alveoli, and I wear a mask! (I know it's pointless, if they could understand that then they wouldn't be antimaskers. It's not really about they can't breathe, it's about their " right" to infect others and kill them)

If there are socially awkward/anxious people here: Don’t be afraid if you hear this question. Many people actually mean it, especially if you‘re nice to them.

Working at a 7-11: every week the same kid comes in put up 2 distraction items and some beer. I ask for ID, he says "oh I just left it out in my car." I ask him to go get it.... and he doesn't come back. Every. Single. Week. Did you think it would work after the 20th time or what?

It's like that movie (the terminal?) Where tom hanks's character couldn't leave the airport, but lined up every day in case she used the green stamp this time :D

I've always treated customer services with a smile and have always been polite. They are there to help you in what ever capacity they can. Don't expect them to perform miracles as they are usually limited by the company they work for, but being nice and understanding will give them the inclination to look for extra loopholes that can help with a problem. I have very rarely had a failed service call because of this. Sometimes it's unavoidable, but that is because the company does not care, and it shows, such as the time we had a burst water main outside our house for 3 years.

Same here. When someone in a shop starts apologising for the product I'm after not being in stock/sold there, I always say "no, it's okay, it's not your fault; you just work here after all!". They really seem to appreciate it. :)

I used to have this irrational fear of cashiers hating me for minorly inconveniencing them sometimes. Then I became a cashier and f**k do I hate people who minorly inconvenience me.
