It just makes me proud to offer my customers the best possible service & support. I also try to be understanding too because everyone has a bad day sometimes.
You make a good point. I've met some people in customer service who seemed like their bad days weren't limited to the days I met them, but I understand what you mean. Once you've been trained to respond and work with customers, you REALLY notice when people aren't even trying.
Yeah I also feel extremely frustrated. Working so hard to ensure customer satisfaction only to be let down by someone else is disheartening. I understand that not everyone is cut out for this job, and I have a lot of sympathy and respect for those that do it day in and day out.
This is my number one complaint about the other coffee shops in my area, and I prioritize customer service and friendly employees above almost everything else at my own coffee shop. We have hundreds of regular customers who come in daily, not just for our coffee, but for the community we've built. Hate going into another shop and feeling condescended to by a freaking barista
I don’t think there’s a point to being nasty or rude to people just trying to make a living. I simply wouldn’t return to that establishment.
I have learned not to resent anyone who isn't doing their job by being professional towards colleagues and/or customers. However, it is glaring incompetence and tells me that perhaps there is something deeply wrong with a place right away.
I can’t be too disappointed that others don’t make that sacrifice, but I have deep admiration for someone who has been in the game for over ten years and can still make the experience of ordinary life magical for others. Higher-ups are responsible for the culture and finding good hires, and paying the right wages, so I blame them. That’s why I don’t take it out on the person closest to the customers.
The problem is that agents are getting burnt out fast due to treatment they receive from customers and the expectation from the company that it not bother the agents. They aren't robots. The customer gets upset because of something that the agent has no control over, goes off on the agent and their supervisors just go, "Well you said this when you should have said....", making the agent feel like they deserved to be yelled at like that. No one deserved to be treated that way for trying to help.
