This is from didyouknowfacts.com<\/a>\u00a0 and every single one of them will ring true with you if you’re still in customer service or worked there for a while.\u00a0 I will have to add a couple more:<\/p>\n

“If it was a snake it would have bitten me!”\u00a0 \u00a0when the product they asked for is literally right in front of them<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Do you work here?” (or the other version “Are you working here?”)\u00a0 \u00a0 while I’m in my work shirt clearly stocking shelves<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Do you know how much this costs?” (holds up random product)\u00a0 \u00a0Yes, I have the price of all 25,000 items memorized.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Enjoy the rest of these gems.<\/p>\n

\n

1. Do you really love your job?<\/h1>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

You don\u2019t have to lie to us. I think we can tell you don\u2019t.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n

You know you\u2019ve heard this one before. Bet on it!<\/p>\n

\n

No retail worker has ever been intimidated by the phrase \u201cyou just lost a customer.\u201d Like oh nooo we\u2019re only gonna make $345,629 instead of $345,671. I\u2019m sorry you feel that way about our store, would you like your apology letter in the mail, or hand delivered?<\/p>\n
