Happy Hump Day, y'all 😁Today I want to talk about being in the customer service industry
Dear Steem Diary
You know I am in the customer service industry, working front of house in the luxe antique shop.
I was reminded by Stacey, (you remember the girl who does my lashes?) of how we are capable of just turning on the charm, the instant smile. How Can I Help YOU?
this is my photo for the shop's website, so very eager beaver, amirite?
Anyway, I digress, what's new? 😂
So, I was at Stace's for an appointment, and, I guess she is comfortable enough in front of me to be herself, as she called over one of her colleagues, and started complaining about something that was happening in the salon.
Then, after my appointment, I was waiting to pay, when another client came in. It was so funny to see Stace go from her normal, straight face, to Miss Customer Service of the Year.
It got me thinking of how, people in this industry, are able to turn on the charm at the drop of a hat. I know I am just like that.
I can go from a hunched, frowning witch, grumbling to my colleague, "What the fuck is wrong with these fucking people, like come on!" to the sunshineyist (yes, I made that word up) most beaming ray of light. "Hello, how are you? Air kisses, mwah, mwah, oh very well, darling.
LOL, it's a skill, I have to tell you. But it's not fake. I am genuinely happy to see my clients, and being like this, in this industry, just means that you put your own hassles and troubles aside, and put your customer, and the task at hand, first. It means, not eating, not running to the loo, just to be able to assist. I think, in a way, it is just something that people pleasers do naturally
I have the most hilarious video to share with you, please watch it, you will absolutely die! It's an antique dealer in Nottingham, London, who is helping his clients, but making fun of them at the same time 😇. I feel like this sometimes to be honest. LOL - don't judge me!!
What about you? Do you have funny moments to share from your job?
Dear Steem Diary, all my emotions jumbled on this here page. I'll be back next Wednesday. Love you. Bye.
Queen of All Mew Mews.
