I don't mean talk to one do a days work in the woods like one.
I don't do Starbucks to be honest and I'm always polite to who ever. Hell when I was a corporate IT manager I would always address the janitor in the high-rise as others would never say hello. | [

I was a server for 4 years and have been working in somewhat retail for a year now. Had 2 notable rude customers for the entire 4 years of serving. With this retail job I have a mental breakdown and cry about once a week because these people are absolutely brutal. For reference I work for Stitch Fix which is supposed to be a personal styling service so I communicate directly with customers, but they seem to think that anything goes as long as you’re behind a computer screen. | [

how to be kind to people
That's on the parents, and idk where you went to school, but my high school taught us how to do taxes, save for retirement, start a business (just basics like getting legal stuff done and funding), and what are our rights and responsibilities as a customer - most students didn't pay attention | [

You don’t need to work i retail to get the same experience. You can work in customer facing role to understand how hard the role can be.
I work in hotel reception and I’ve sorta reached that point where I’m not worried about taking back to people. Because you catch on fast that sometime is they’re only there to cause you issues - and you have to the courage to say “hell no”
Retail worker or any customer facing roles are the back bone of todays business work. | [

Then, 8 hours starting at 10am the same day. Because you’re legally required to give a 10 hour break. My drive there was 30 minutes.\nNow I’ve worked worse in my “career” life, for worse people, and been treated worse.
