Kindness competitions!

How has the sport of kindness changed or remained the same for you in retail over your career?

I'm making a significant effort to be kinder and more compassionate with people even if I feel frustrated, as the whole world seems to be short tempered right now.

I just tell myself that I have no idea what customers or even coworkers are going through. I know not everyone has something going on, but it helps me to think that is the reason for the attitude.

I think it has changed a lot- for some to the better, for others not. I feel like, customers and co workers alike, I either get the one extreme or the other. A lot of my regular customers are so very kind and sweet and understanding and make my day. And then there are the ones who just hate their lives and you are the outlet.
Its sad, really, the later one. I believe that no one human being is in any way better than another, but with a dynamic and especially power change ( I'm talking money more than anything) some feel superior and act accordingly.

I’ve never heard of a kindness competition or sport in my life. Is this a real thing or something you’re striving to do?

For those of you who made the switch to in house/corporate law, what was your experience like? Did you have to take a lower position to gain the experience or were you able to argue that your soft skills were transferable to in house? I’ve been in litigation for 15 years and I’m looking to make the switch. Ultimately, I’d like to get into Legal Ops, but feel getting some in house experience first would be beneficial.
