They said I should be telling people to have a nice day

But I tell people to Have a Day for a few reasons

Faster to say and my customers frankly don't deserve the effort from me
I don't want them to have a nice day.

1st person to call me out on this tho

Saying "Have a Day" is a dumb and unnecessary waste of breath because unless someone is dying that day they are going to "Have a Day" regardless. Saying "Have a Good Day" is a benevolent phrase because it is showing that person that you may care about them and are wishing them well, which could serve as additional motivation for them. So put away the fedora, can that "Have a Day" garbage and just be normal, alright? Lastly TC I get there are pain in the ass customers sometimes but you sound just as bad if not worse with the "My customers frankly don't deserve the effort from me" and "I don't want tyem to have a nice day". What type of bullshit customer service is that?

Edited my previous post to address this. And if this is how you feel, you should consider a career change ASAP if possible. I know all about dealing with terrible customers, but you can't let them damage your goodwill towards your clients.

So what you're saying is that TC is being nice enough to say he doesn't want them to drop dead which is more than most customers deserve.

Good customer service, TC.

Just say "Haven't a nice day!" They'll either not hear the "n't" or they'll assume they misheard you while you'll be content knowing you got away with wishing they don't have a nice day.

I really don't get how, short of when dealing with particularly difficult customers, it's that hard to just act nice even if you don't really give a fuck. Maybe that's just me though.

Come on man that's basically everyday life in most of America. At least you're getting paid while dealing with their loopy bullshit. Just pretend like you care about them a little while going about your job, say "Take care." when they are leaving and shit should go smoothly.

But then he'd have to be a mature adult instead of proving old people's stereotypes of younger generations as disrespectful and lazy right.

Yeah, this basically. I mean, there are occasions where I'll genuinely sympathize with a customer (such as a week or so ago when one said they were having an awful day because their dog died) but most of the time it's like... just act like you care and that you're somewhat interested, they're generally just trying to talk to pass the time while you scan their shit through or whatever anyway, of course you don't really care (most of the time) if they have a good day or not but with a bit of practice it's easy enough to act like you do. (Or, maybe I'm just a really good actor and should consider switching careers to film or television, I dunno... probably just the "it's easy", though.)

in a customer service job and you get to spend most of your time at work fucking off on youtube, and still have the scrotedingles to get pissy about it if your paid relaxation time gets briefly interrupted to do your job.

Jesus Christ you'd not last one day waiting tables.

My snarky response to "How are you today" was always "I'm alive"

It was really funny because everybody interpreted it differently. Some people gave a sympathetic "Yeah I know what that's like", others gave an optimistic "That's right! Every day you wake up is a blessing!"

Then one of them turned out to be on their way to a funeral >_>

Idk Ive just always had the attitude that you should do your job the right way. I have to talk to people that are garbage people, and I treat them with the same respect as I treat everybody else, because its my job.

if you dont like your job, you should quit and go to a job you do like.
