There's those who've had to be forged in the fires of customer service, and then there's those who live in blissful ignorance of our struggles

Man, I work with some veterans who've been doing this job for years and years and I just don't get where they find the patience for it. I'm losing my mind after one!!

Well, any job sounds easy if you oversimplify it like that. That's on them for using such low level thinking

Probably the same people who think zookeepers just play with animals all day

Well no cause then you'd be in the wrong for getting upset at someone for saying something ignorant, and that's a worse look on you than it is for them. It's best to stay calm and let things like that slide off of us
