anyone hate working with the public?
Asked by E.
it can be very frustrating. I think that everyone should have to work with the public for about a week just to see what it is like. We are all human. We all make mistakes. I think people need to calm down sometimes when ... say... their cheeseburger they ordered had a pickle on it by mistake. It isnt something to get mad about. Or...say... the check out line in a grocery store is backed up and you take it out in the cashier. Like its their fault (you think they want to be that busy at work? no) EVERYONE CHILL. Treat others how you want to be treated!

I agree with you. I have worked with the public a million and one times and i can tell you that based on experience, it's no fun at all! Everybody who walks through the door practically thinks that YOU are the one who should be at their beck and call and if you're not, they wanna make it difficult for you and, say, possibly LIE on you to your higher-ups! That happened to me (and i got shredded as a result). I know for those who have the gall to treat those in customer service rudely, all they need to do is step on over to the other side, see what it feels like, and then ask themselves "Do I like to be treated this way?" Then and only then will they get the picture!

I worked in retail years ago. I could never handle it now - people are more rude and unpleasant to deal anymore. Also, most of the retail people I run into nowadays would never have lasted a week in retail 20 yr ago. The young ones don;t know how to treat customers nicely (some older ones too)

I've been in retail for a long time and you are correct about people who treat us with disrespect.
I deducted that one of the reasons they are so rude and angry is that they have crappy jobs and that's how they get treated at work so they figure they Will treat someone else like crap.
Also they are usually buying something just to keep up with the Jones',they really don't want it but God forbid they don't keep up with their friends.
Another one is that are self centered and have never treated anyone with respect ,let alone their own family members.

They really have a low self esteem and have not
figured it out yet.
Everyone deep down thinks that they are better
the next person.
Maybe some day people will start treating others kindly, then they will find out How good they will feel.
