Tell me why working in customer service rewires your brain 😭

When you say “Hi, how can I help you today?” 200 times a shift, it just becomes muscle memory.
I’ve caught myself almost saying it outside of work. Like greeting a friend and my brain is halfway to “What can I get started for you?” It’s automatic at this point.

Customer service phrases really live rent free in your head.

Please tell me I’m not the only one who’s almost greeted their friends like a customer?
