As a customer, do you ever get a cashier or waitress with a chronic blank stare and a facial expression that they want to kill you? I wanted to try avoiding the temptation of taking this personally, and instead assume they aren’t the happiest at the moment. For all I know they may have to work 70 hours a week, struggle with chronic pain or depression, or simply having a bad day.
What are some things one can do as a customer to make these human beings’ day a bit better?
