There are various approaches to dealing with clients.
It might be low-key and uneventful, somewhat infuriating, or completely out of control, in which case you might lose your cool and get into a yelling match.
Although we don’t recommend it because you can lose your job as a result, it is a possibility.
In light of this, let’s look at a few things that customer service representatives truly don’t enjoy.
People, bear this in mind whenever you enter public spaces!
I doubt that customer support representatives are aware of the solution.
So people, stop asking!
customers really come up to me and ask “when this whole covid thing gonna be over?” Lmfao bro idk let me go ask my manager

Come on, peeps!
Put your act together and don a mask!
That humor? Again?
How many more times must I hear this today?

Yes, that appears to be approximately right.
Taking a position… just what, we’re not sure.
This is terrible.
Additionally, I would strongly discourage it.
this customer walked in 10 SECONDS before we CLOSED and she had the audacity to yell “yay i made it” bitch you made what? made me mad?

Why do you think we’re shut down?
This one gets a big eye-roll.
“Are you closed??????”
no ma’am, we actually just decided to lock the front and start mopping for fun

I had never heard of that before.
Customers must develop some fresh content.
Item: Doesn’t scan
Customer: Oh, must be free!

Hmmmm… I’d want another next joke.
He certainly doesn’t appear amused.

They just don’t care.
Avoid getting smacked by the door as you leave!
No retail worker has ever been intimidated by the phrase “you just lost a customer.” Like oh nooo we’re only gonna make $345,629 instead of $345,671. I’m sorry you feel that way about our store, would you like your apology letter in the mail, or hand delivered?

Well… I have bills to pay.
That’s why I’m confined here.
Me:
Customers: OMG it’s so gorgeous out today how are yous open, It’s such a fab day and yous are in here working, omg bet you wish you were out in that sun

Go speak with the bartender.
Or how about a counselor?
Working in retail was wild, people just tell you things about their personal life and you just stand there… Not knowin' how to respond to “I'm going to a funeral” or “I’m getting a divorce” like that sucks… $13.48 is your total.

Cool, no big deal.
Forget what I said!
Me: Hi, how are you today?
Customer: *says nothing*
Me: Cool, I guess I'll go fuck myself pic.twitter.com/UoNJS5pe91— Breakthrugh (@Breakthrugh_if) August 3, 2017
