Shop Talk
40 y/o midlife crisis?
Who knows?
This guy is talking to me about how he just got out of a pretty long relationship about 2 months ago and he's talking to this woman he "fell madly in love with"... Interesting.
Kinda weird. I want him to stop charging his phone here. And stop talking to me about these things. I don't know if he just feels comfortable talking to me [because he's been here before, and I get that "you just seem like a really easy person to talk to" thing a lot], or if he talks to everyone like this. Just one of those really open people who wants ideas from people he doesn't even know. 😕
Today is so weird.

It's also possible that since he just came out of a pretty long term relationship he has no friends left and no one to brag about his new lady friend to.
I have a few people that come into my store out of lonliness/boredom/borderline insanity and just talk to me about the most random things. Apparently, cell phone stores are the place to be.
If only I could convince myself to feel that way.

What's interesting is that I actually had a customer tell me at one point that calling in and hearing a friendly voice was the one thing that kept him from killing himself that night.
Kind of surprising how being nice to someone will seriously make their day.

Or how being mean could potentially change their entire life.

Pretty much that too; even with a "No" on my surveys for issue resolution, they always say I was concerned/felt I cared about their issue.
Then again, I treat the jackasses nice so they'll feel horrible about being mean; it surprisingly works, especially if I keep my voice soft.
Being mean just gets nowhere with customers, being firm but pleasant makes more progress on my eyes and experience.
