Translator calls are honestly one of the most frustrating parts of the job. There are times when the customer speaks the same language as me, but I’m not allowed to assist them directly so I have to go through the translator.
And some of them are just not it. Passive aggressive, relaying half the info, then getting annoyed when the customer doesn’t understand. Meanwhile, I’m sitting there fuming.

It’s so tough when you’re trying to give good service, but the middle person is dropping the ball!

Being from Minnesota, I think it's so funny when people act as if we are some far-left State just because we hadn't voted Republican in a presidential election since Nixon. Never mind that many of our elections are close or that we have elected Republican Senators and governors.

I have voted for both the GOP and the DFL, and I feel like they are both far more normal than their national counterparts

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

I had customers tell me how amazing the salads I make for them. It’s great that I can make salads that good!

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

Once when I was waiting tables, I had a guy pay me cash. The change was 45 cents, which I didn't give back to him because like who wants that. He then asked where the change was, and when I explained that I didn't give back the loose change, he made a big stink about how dollars and cents matter and didn't leave me a tip. He was a republican staffer on capitol hill.

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.
