Everyone talks about how shitty and stupid customers are, why don’t we ever talk about the cool ones?
-Bilingual children translating for their parents/grandparents like a boss
-The drunk guy you had to deny a sale to and he took it so well and maybe even thanked you for keeping him safe
-The random peeps in a long check out line who stop to tell you you’re doing an amazing job
-The regulars who have your back when someone starts giving you a hard time
-Customers who let you know to keep an eye on someone for shoplifting
-Bros who insist on cleaning up their own mess/spill
-The really upbeat/cheery mom/aunt type customer that just kind of brightens your day a bit
Feel free to add, you guys. You know who they are, let’s give them some love.
The ones who share a “yikes™” glance with you when someone is rude
this one time our coffee machine broke and we didnt know what was wrong with it and one of our regulars came and fixed it for us????? just walked over, said “let me have a look”, fixed it, and only said he wants a free coffee for payment
The yikes glance people are lifesavers. Nothing is more comforting than knowing you’re not alone
the lady in military fatigues who had just had oral surgery and was super surly and at the end said, “i’m in a really bad mood right now because my mouth hurts but i’m not upset with you and you’ve been an angel i hope they make you employee of the month”
The ones that are actually patient and understanding when almost ten of your registers crash, leaving only a few working ones to check people out and the lines are really long but they’re still pleasant and like “it’s not your fault, things happen”
i enjoy how they didnt over sexualize their prince costumes. like esp with jasmine. she couldve totally been in aladdin’s vest, but nope. fully clothed. thanks.
