Customer service really isn’t fun…
Well, at least my job experiences weren’t. I worked in grocery stores and restaurants for a long time and, if you’ve had similar gigs, you know that the general public can be a real handful.
And they can get on your nerves in a major way.
Take a look at these things that customer service workers really don’t like and be sure not to do any of them next time you go into a store, okay?
1. I don’t think that belongs there.
This drives workers insane.
2. Also, never, ever do this to a retail worker.
If you do, you’ll be cursed for life.
3. Out of my way!
Move it, move it!
4. Please don’t do that.
How rude can you get?
5. Just go ahead and put that anywhere.
This is a big NO-NO.
6. Ummm, what about me?
People really blow my mind sometimes.
This morning, the young barista woman told me that a customer came in with a mask, but not wearing it. When she asked the customer to put on her mask please, the woman said: "Why? There's no-one in here."

7. Uh oh, now you have to think.
And nobody wants that!
8. Let’s not even go there, okay?
Math is not my strong suit.
Me: opens drawer
Customer: oh wait I have a pennyFirst of all, I don't know how to count

9. YOU. You’re why I’m here.
Any other questions?
I hate when customers say “Why do they have you working on Holidays?” because you’re in here tf

10. I’m not sure how this helps me.
People, you’re really blowing it.
me: your total is $5.30
customer: here’s $6
me: :^)
customer: oh wait here’s 70 cents too

11. Never heard that one before.
I guess you just have to fake the big laugh.
Me: “Can I get you guys anything else?”
Customer: “Yeah a million bucks!!”— Tugce (@tugcexcakir) January 18, 2019
12. No, I’m just in here hanging out.
Is that weird to spend time in stores I don’t work in?
