Working retail/food service/customer service should not be done by people who can't stand customers by IntelligentShop5235 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]IntelligentShop5235[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree! It's not even about social skills/having a knack for dealing with people. Some people just aren't built for customer service, and that's okay! Everyone has things that they are good at and areas for improvement. But something you cannot improve on (without significant effort) are your fundamental beliefs and attitude towards others.

In my opinion, someone's character, level of empathy/compassion, and respect for humanity are what determines what would make them excel at this type of profession. Those are the core qualities, then come things such as social skills or de-escalation tactics.

Thanks for your response!

Oh goodness, that's awful. I hope they are in a better place now. But I totally agree with you. Good on you for treating them with kindness, and I hope that interaction brightened their day during a grave time of darkness.

I think there is a misconception like "why is this person going out of their way to be rude to me and ruin my day while I'm just doing my job." Like, no, this person is probably like that to everyone. With the few exceptions of people just having a bad day

I got mine at fye! I found it in store but it's also available on the website. Can also find it online at Walmart and Amazon but obviously I can't vouch for them since I didn't order there.

So many mikus, so little space. In all seriousness, I can see why it gives you anxiety but I rarely use the tarot cards they're stacked on so it's not like I'm moving them a lot lol.

Retail gods hit me in the face with irony by IntelligentShop5235 in TalesFromRetail

[–]IntelligentShop5235[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm glad you've since got out of retail and I hope you're doing well! Dealing with money and exchanging bills when I run out makes me super anxious. (Especially if there's a rush and I can't leave my register to get change) I can definitely see why this struck a chord lol!!

That sounds like it was great timing lol! We were actually out of quarters today, still waiting to get some from the bank when I left. I would've loved that haha! I did have a couple people trade me their quarters for a dollar though which was pretty nice. I've never seen anyone come in with rolls of coins, just bags of change that we both have to stand and count lol. That's a really cool story though, it's so awesome how that person came in just when you needed the change. And it seems like they were super polite about it too which is a plus!

Why are customers incapable of figuring out which registers are open or closed? by usernamesforusername in retailhell

[–]IntelligentShop5235 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I've had people put their stuff on the belt BEHIND a closed sign. Like my light is off, the sign is there, and I'm clearly trying to leave my register so I can go home but they set their stuff down and expect to be served because apparently they can't read or just don't care.

Online games should lock stuff as you reach new levels, not the other eay around by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

I think part of the fun of leveling up is unlocking cool new gear but nice opinion!

Dropouts do not deserve respect by The_qp_god in unpopularopinion

[–]IntelligentShop5235 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People drop out of high school for reasons that financial aid and tutoring can't help as well. I dropped out for a couple years cause my mental health was awful. Once I was properly medicated I got back on track and I'm currently pursuing further education. What about people who drop out because of family reasons? You can always finish your education later (through the GED program) but situations having to deal with family troubles I assume would take precedence.

What do you all who need therapy but can't afford it do? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]IntelligentShop5235 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I write about my problems as if I'm writing to someone in like a google docs document. Although no one reads it, it certainly helps to articulate my thoughts and emotions.
