If you’ve ever had a job where you have to work with the public on a daily basis, you know it can be soul-sucking in a major way. Dealing with those customers gets REALLY OLD, REALLY FAST.
Most people are pretty nice, but there are also those folks who seem to live to make your life miserable.
Either way, customer service jobs are a major grind and can lead to some brain drain. And these tweets sum it up.
1. Did that make sense?

2. Speaking the truth, right there.
An 8 hour shift from 7am to 3pm is completely different to an 8 hour shift from 12pm to 8pm.

9. You might need a vacation.
A customer asked me if they could pay by card today and I replied “Sure thing chicken wing” and I haven’t stopped thinking about it since. Someone put me in the bin

10. What do you want me to do about it?
Working in retail was wild, people just tell you things about their personal life and you just stand there… Not knowin' how to respond to “I'm going to a funeral” or “I’m getting a divorce” like that sucks… $13.48 is your total.
