Has anyone else experienced people getting frustrated with you because a store is closing? I get that it’s upsetting, but it feels pretty rough when customers direct their anger at me. I’m going to miss this place so much, and I love my job here. So when they start complaining about the inconvenience, I’ll casually mention that I’ll be jobless soon. It’s surprising how that simple statement often shifts their attitude, and they tend to be a little more understanding.

I've been in that situation too. I had a customer straight-up tell me how unfair it was that we were closing. I just smiled and bit my tongue. What I wanted to say was "Trust me, I think it’s pretty unfair too, since I won’t have a paycheck anymore." Good luck though, I'm sure you'll be able to find another job.

I had that happen once, the store I was working at was closing. Luckily I was being shifted to another location, so it wasn't the end of the world. But wow, some of the customers took it as a personal insult. Some people just can't handle it if their little routines change.

It’s always so tough when customers take their frustrations out on you. I’ve been in similar situations, and it can be disheartening. I like your approach of mentioning your job situation, it really helps humanize the experience! It’s a great reminder that we’re all just trying to get through it together. Good luck with everything!

I fell ya, it completely sucks, how many times in one day can you hear it without stepping to the back and just breaking. Love my job, a quarter of my life in one company for what, to hear them say they love us but have been tearing us up on surveys and social media... yay.

So our CEO asked me and a colleague to give a Start/Stop/Continue Mid-year review of our CIO who’s been our Head of Product for a few months (Our Head of Product left because of him when that guy came in)

My concern is that it’s meant to be transparent but if we’re honest and he gets called off, he will figure out it comes from us.

Never been in that situation before, is it better to be completely honest or a bad idea?

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.
