Be nice to CSRs. Unless they work for one of the postal couriers, you are directing your anger at the wrong people. Just saying.

Whenever someone snaps at me I just assume that they were already annoyed at some other issue before they called me. And that they just used me as an outlet for their pent-up frustration. I know it's not always true but this mindset helps me survive our line of work

Can we make this a golden rule somehow? I wish everyone understood this simple fact. It's not the person on the phones that is making any of the decisions!!

Man I can't say this enough. These large companies make these rules and regulations and the owners are glorified for being trillionaires meanwhile we are getting yelled out for rules that we didn't create at all

No one works well with someone yelling at them. Wish our customers understood this.

Preach. The number of people who have yelled at me in the last couple of weeks because they never notified us of their address changing, so they missed vital information; that they got a divorce (so their ex got basically free health insurance until we were notified); or that someone died months ago, but they didn't tell us til now, so they want a refund and his life insurance payout in their hand tomorrow is nuts.
