Been going through a lot of these fishbowls lately, and the best stories seem to be here in Crazy Customer Stories. But I also noticed that I am not the only one who has trouble decompressing on those rare off days.

So, how do you shut off Customer Service mode when you leave work?

This is something I really need to learn how to do. I really don't want to bring work home with me, but it's super hard for me to just "disconnect" when I walk out. We've had some crazy days lately and it's hard to leave the BS at the door. I'm going to try stopping at a park that's on my way home from work for a quick walk or maybe park my car and watch an episode of a show on Netflix or something. I'll be following to see what works for others.

What I like to do is just get involved with something utterly unrelated to work. This time of year I like doing some gardening, and being actively involved with something having no screens, no phone, and no voices is so enjoyable. I've yet to have a plant contradict me!

That’s one of the hardest parts of being in customer service, some conversations linger, even on your days off. The ones where you’re called awful names by rude customers can really get under your skin. What helps me is putting on my favorite Netflix show or cooking a good meal for myself. It’s a small way to reset and distract my mind.

Back when I was getting started in the food world, I worked flipping burgers at In-n-Out. A man came in and said the burgers he had gotten weren’t right. He dumped the food on the counter and then he started throwing them back behind the counter. We gave him a refund and then his demeanor completely changed. He was calmer and he told us to have a great day as he left us to clean up the mess he made.

At a different job I had a customer trying to swindle me in telling me that there was a deal in an item that never had a deal or promotion for sale so he made me scan the item 20 times before believing me. Obviously, he finally let it go but I scan it with an inventory scanner that showed me all of the sale price promotions if there were any
