Have you ever been rude to a customer?

[JustinTheGreat]

I haven’t been rude to customers in a while cause I actually care about keeping my current job.

but when I worked at McDonald’s, I didn’t give a fuck lol. I reciprocated energy. If you were rude to me, then I was gonna be rude right back to you.

I don’t get paid enough to kiss your ass. Sorry bookie!

Customers think they can talk to you howeverrrr they want because they literally don’t view you as a person. They see you as nothing more than a food worker. So they think they can just talk down on you.

Fast food customers are so fucking mean. I’ve seen grown men yell and swear at 15 year old workers. Like what is wrong with you bro?

But as soon as you reciprocate the energy they’re like “oh my god!!! I can't believe you said that to me!” Womp womp. Cry about it.
What are you gonna do? Call my boss and get me fired? I hope you do

Now I’ve learned that the best way to deal with rude customers is to kill them with kindness.
You can tell they end up feeling bad for being an ass to you so their whole demeanor changes

From what I can recall, I think the "rudest" I've ever been to a customer is when I was working in a call center, and the person directly started attacking me directly. I'd be like "Okay. Thanks." And hang up, particularly before even helping them resolve their issue. I don't take kindly to being personally attacked. Don't project your anger for something else onto me. I get you're upset, but you can be upset and not treat the person you're talking to like crap. Otherwise, no. I try to treat people the way I expect to be treated.

Not me... I am always like a fucking ray of sunshine on a otherwise gloomy day!

[PeachyPie93]

I wouldn't be rude, I would just ignore them. If you want to talk to me like an asshole I will pretend you don't exist. Someone once came in and started yelling at me that someone else over charged her and she wanted to speak to my manager. So I was like okay and never called him and kept working, she stood there for like 10 minutes looking at me. I didn't care just went on with my day until she left. LOL

Yess.. some are just so impatient.

I was working as an suppy worker for starbucks and not a cashier.

I entered and and 40 year old karen just stood me up and said "hey get me a large coffe with 2 pumps caramel" I was like "bitch what im not the one who takes orders and what creature gets a large coffee with caramel."

I used to be so nice when i worked with Dept of Ed and had to deal with students/parents. But once i started working for this private uni, that went out the window. I won’t curse a mf out but i will talk in a tone that will make them think I’m about to. It made work more easy tbh lol. Thankfully at my current job it hasn't been much of an issue. But i receive angry emails sometimes and the sups are like “just ignore their ass, don’t reply” 🤣

[DizzyDesii]

there's nothing fun about killing them with kindness. I mean yea they often apologize in the end but i feel so much better matching their energy

[RainBat]

Yeah once I chopped up and blended one of my customers in my oversized industrial grinder but I said sorry so it's ok

[IslaTheWitch]

fortunately, my customers are mostly teams from our company :D I rarely see the real end customer

[Superreader]

No, I’ve never been rude and old coworkers have even called me a “saint” with my patience. There have been times where I showed more of a neutral affect, though.

[dustybiker2]

Lower yourself to someone's cheap standard when they are having a bad day only leaves you feeling you could have handled it better.

[exitseven]

No, sometimes if a customer was a jerk and really pissed me off I would suck it up and next time I would overcharge him.

[BoopBoopBeep]

Only when they were f'ing idiots. They'd usually get tresspassed.

[Anonymous]

I would just get them out as fast as possible so I didn't have to listen to them anymore. Whenever a customer was really starting to piss me off I would l just get the manager or supervisor and have them deal with it. That was their job, not mine.

[noohair]

I used sarcasm and it made people look stupid. Or I would be pleasant and ignore their antics. That makes them mad too.

[Anonymous]

Yeah. If there's one thing I'd do if I could go back to my working years. I'd tell more people to f*** off.
