What's your opinion of customers responding to a closed email/ticket to say thanks after helping them with the issue?

It's a small gesture but it makes me feel good about myself. Those people didn't need to say thanks but took the time to do it anyway.

Love it. I see that it's just a thanks and there's a sense of relief and gratitude. In my opinion, reply with thanks if you are thankful for the help you've gotten.

I will say that if you have really worked with a rep to resolve an issue saying a truly meant "Thank you for all your help. I couldn't have done it without you "is fine and appreciated. But just saying thank you out of reflex or what you consider politeness is time-consuming and can add extra work to an agent. So think about it, do you really mean it? If so do it but add a couple words about why. If not just then a great survey. Most times, in my field a 5-star survey means more.

Tickets are treated differently in our company. When a customer responds to a closed ticket for whatever reason, it reopens the tickets and the handler of the ticket has to unnecessarily contact the customer for a few days until the customer asks to close the tickets (yes our company is more bookish than practical). Unruly customers, that did not get what they wanted, use this tactic to harass the employees... How do they know they can do this? The emails contain the information that they can do this.
That way, an employee might have several tickets to deal with on a given day... sigh.
