Working here sucks

By people suck - 28/03/2015 04:16 - United States - Oakland

Today, while at work, a customer refused to speak louder, despite me asking her to do it several times. As a result, I took her order incorrectly. The customer then finally decided to raise her voice, but only to yell at me about my poor listening skills. FML

Next time, repeat the order back to the customer to make sure you heard right. If they get frustrated with you then, at least you can tell your management you were still trying to get the right order.

This is where I realized for sure I won't be able to handle a citizen job. People are ignorant. Smh.FYL

What exactly is a 'citizen' job? As far as I know, we are all citizens to our country and so technically any job one may do is a 'citizen' job. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess by your username that you meant civilian.

Next time say, Sorry but I am hard of hearing. Works about every single time.

Oops. Did not see # 28 there. I am hard of hearing and in my experience. Most customers apologize profusely turn 4 shades of red. But every now and then there will be that a$$hole that don't care about anything other then their idiotic self.

I know how annoying that is, where I work we get plenty of customers who can barely even speak basic English, but will still get angry at you if you can't immediately understand exactly what they want.

In times like these, retail workers should have the right to give out the old slap across the face.

I work fast food drive thru 6 days a week, I fully understand. we have to say we are having problems with the head sets and have them pull to the window and take their order there. if we still can't hear them then we ask if they will speak up. sorry OP

Geez this sounds like a "Not Alwaus Right" post... don't let it bother you OP! There are many types in the world and customer service gets the worst of them.

You my friend, deserve a medal. I did the same today, I spit in a customers fries, and I touched the bottom of my shoes and then made her burger, however, she did not know. Oh and I also quit :)
