I think people working in customer service deserve some big award. And yes, you may think that tips are kind of their reward, but after seeing, reading or encountering some people who it's an understatement to say are rude, tips are not enough. Oh, and these kinds of ‘special’ customers usually don’t even leave tips.
However, as with every job, there are advantages and disadvantages. Every one of us has things that we like to do and are the best parts of the day, but on the contrary, there are things that make us furious and doubt every time why we even work here. On that note, Dunkin’ Donuts employees shared things that they absolutely love and hate that customers do.

People Need To See This More Often…
I am sure most of you have heard about Dunkin’ Donuts. Some of you may go there every day, some of you frequently and others maybe haven’t been there at all. Well, it doesn’t matter, but it’s still interesting to hear how big companies become successful.
Well, it all started in 1950 when William Rosenberg experienced a revelation. He discovered that everyone in Quincy, Massachusetts, enjoyed dunking their donuts in their coffee. People kept returning for more because the delectable pairing of donuts and coffee was so enjoyable. He was motivated by this phenomena to provide the highest caliber coffee he could. This gave his company a huge boost, and DUNKIN' Donuts was founded.

Now, let’s look a little bit at statistics. So according to Coffee Affection, In 2017, Dunkin’ Donuts was selling 2 billion cups of coffee worldwide or in other words - 60 cups per second. Sounds like a lot, huh?
In addition to this, Dunkin’ Donuts operates in 46 countries and serves over 5 million customers per day.

"Go Run On Dunkin!"
I once saw a customer throw hot coffee on a would-be thief at the golden arches. Workers were just standing there saying they weren't allowed to do anything. So the customer did it for them and the dude ran out crying.

However, talking about customer service jobs in general, aircall states that workers in the customer service sector must manage requests and grievances of various complexity every day in a high-pressure, time-constrained setting. Well, as you can understand, work-related stress is quite common.

People actually take the time out of their day to complain to the manager about how they don’t like the new pumpkin spice iced coffee?

So how can you make customer service workers not hate you and not make their job even worse? Reader’s Digest shares habits that customer service people hate the most. To begin with, it’s important to remember that nastiness gets you nowhere, as well as rude insults.
Moreover, complaining about prices. They are not the ones who set them, thus complaining won’t make the price change. And of course, obvious, but important - stop yelling.

Employee Pro Tip: Offer Customers A Brownie Bite For Their Inconvenience At The Drive Through
Dunkin Donuts was much better as a coffee shop before it morphed into a fast-food joint. I drive past 4 of them along the same 8-mile stretch of road to and from work. In the morning the line for the drive thru juts into the road creating a traffic hazard. Their coffee sucks and their donuts are terrible. They buy out other chains and ruin them. Mr. Donut, Bess Eaton and Whole Donut. All gone now. What a shame. They were so much better but got gobbled up by the Walmart of the pastry business.
one of the dunkins in our town had the manager quit so they actually ran out of everything. No donuts left at all. The only thing they had was a muffin and it was stale AF. we haven't been back since.
