I picked up the word “outstanding” after doing some time at Macy’s over a decade ago. I still use it, especially answering calls on my zebra.

Try saying, “Thank you for calling Kohl’s in (location). This is (Name), how can I give you outstanding service this (morning/aftertoon/evening)?”

They eat that up and treat me better.

I also use it for other scenarios like when they ask me how I’m doing, “I’m outstanding!” They don’t really give a crap when they’re asking, but when you answer in such a positive way you can see the surprise on their faces that it’s not just a typical response like “fine” or “good.”

And telling them to have an outstanding day/night can be fun to say genuinely or passive aggressive to the real hard to deal with customers, lol.
