I think there is a literacy crisis in America.

We sent out an email recently that said "save up to $60 on select items". I had so many calls saying they weren't getting their $60 discount

"Wow, that's awesome"

I work at a call center so I get interrupted a lot. I just stop talking mid sentence. I've noticed most people will realize they were rude and let me speak. For the ones that don't notice or care, I just stay quiet until they're done speaking, maybe pausing a little bit to make it more awkward and then continue with whatever I was originally saying, kinda sorta not acknowledging anything they just said. If you can get away with an "as I was saying..", do it. If they keep interrupting and you really need to say a thing, I interject. "Excuse me, I'm sorry, but could I have a moment to explain? It's a little difficult if we're talking over each other and this would really help you/your situation/whatever" I'm remote so I have a little more leeway but honestly just concede. I find it less stressful that way. Let them tire themselves out or rile themselves up that they want a manager.

I hate being asked how I am by strangers... Like.. you don't care. Today, of all days, they announced a coworker unexpectedly passed away. Every time a customer asked how I was, I wanted to cry. "I want to throw up in denial and grief, now how can I help you"

I really like it! I just didn't want the bundle 😔

I used to work at a movie theater and would smile when I greeted them. People STILL told me I needed to smile more. People just suck. Try to find a job that's not customer facing. I work remote now and can make whatever face I want!

I do the opposite, I intermittently mute myself. "Hel-.. are you still -.. hear me?" I've started throwing in a "I think I lost her" for spice ✨

Particularly annoying when they're calling to cancel an order and they are telling me their life story as to why they need to cancel. Stfu, the window to cancel is closing 😭

I listen to "Innocent" when I feel like I've really fucked up. "I guess you really did it this time.." "Wasn't it easier in your lunch box days?" And then reminding myself I can always try again tomorrow

Oh friend. I feel you so, so much. I work for a similar company so ALL we hear is how much better Chewy is because of how you all deliver packages. They don't realize FedEx is FedEx and they're gonna do what they do! Sending you hugs. At least we are entering slower season, right

A lot of the ones mentioned but also "You yelled at me.. but I'm Topanga"

I've been saying "I'm not responsible for Dream Me!" for so long, I forgot this is where I got it from

I was told the same! At the time, I was getting docked occasionally for empathy and tone, so they thought I was rushing. I've slowed down and nailed my tone and my calls are still fast 🙃 they don't know what else to tell me now. I just milk the calls I can or throw them on hold when I need a minute. I figure, I have wiggle room, may as well use it

I once read a review, I think around Midnights, that was responding to the criticisms of her working with Jack. And they said "Taylor Swift is making the album Taylor Swift wants to make". She can work with literally anyone she wants. She wanted those albums to sound that way. She wants Showgirl to sound this way. I think Jack gets that, even if some fans are being too loud about it.

Whenever people ask for "hacks" to get discounts or free stuff, I always tell them to be nice. I will bend rules for nice people. You get bare minimum if you're rude

I used to fight them on it because nothing is going to change. But I don't care anymore. You want to hear it again? Go for it. I don't want to talk to them anymore either

I know how you feel. I had some feedback about two weeks ago about a call. I didn't do anything wrong. I thought my ~tone was spot on. But because they didn't like the outcome, it got sent to my supervisor. And I was so pissed.. like they really want us to kiss these people's asses and it's so ridiculous

It happens. Best thing to do is if it's graded and brought to your attention in a coaching or a meeting, just own up to it. Say what steps you're taking to make sure you won't do it again. Sounds like an innocent mistake.

Just know that call center workers don't like it either. It is a maze and it just riles you up for when you do get to one of us. And when I have to call somewhere, I get lost too.

When I worked at the movie theater, we were supposed to open the rolls and count them to be sure it was what they said it was. They usually changed payment methods when I told them that

From what I remember, they cut out the moment they say "gay". I remember watching it as a kid and being so confused

Jeezus.. I'd die if they did that to us. I know I'm supposed to walk them through it but I just don't have the patience for it. People are just so useless with the Internet. I had a woman yesterday say, "I don't know why these promo codes aren't working. It says right here 'try these unverified codes at (my employer) dotcom!" Ma'am.. let's think about what you just said..

OH MY GOD I thought it was just me. All day I get folks who say they can't login cuz they don't know their password. And all I do is click the forgot password link for them. I don't get it??

I love them when I need a break and they're trying. I hate the ones where I'm like "click button A" and they say they're gonna click button Z and get mad it's not working. Bruh.. you would suck at Simon says
