I had a customer tell me my spirit is so happy and joyful. She told me if she ever comes back and my spirit isn’t then she going to pop me lol. She was a 79 year old woman I thought it was kinda cute!

Aww, that's adorable! I'm sure that lady is very special, and you are too and she recognized that in you. I didn't actually work today, thankfully, I had the day off so nothing really interesting happened, but I did get some rest and relaxation in.

Certainly something special in both her and I. I never met her before and her husband was even nice. I’m glad you were able to get some rest and relaxation.

That’s adorable! Gotta love the unfiltered honesty of older folks. I had a customer today tell me I “looked too calm to be working retail.” I told her that’s just the face of someone who’s accepted the chaos.

Right the older folks that are actually happy and not grumpy rude people are my favorite. Older customers are my favorite

Awe that is really nice. I had a customer tell me last week that she had been getting the run-around from everyone else and I was an angel for helping her. It was such a nice thing to hear.

Hi how much does a florist get paid per hour? Thanks

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
