Kid at Dunkin


Clu

Recommended Posts

This dude always has my order ready when he sees me coming in, even gives me the hot cup with my iced coffee without asking.

Whenever they have new products, he ALWAYS tells me about them but doesn't push it and tells me why I would like this beverage, based upon what he already knows about me.

Kid probably only makes $9 an hour, but somewhere he acquired these skills, and it's a damn shame that he isn't in a better position and making the money he deserves.

Today, I told him that if he ever was looking to make a change in his career to let me know, would love to get him in to a customer facing sales position. Can't make him make a move, but hopefully he has the courage to change up his environment and control his success.

Where I'm at now we don't have business cards. I gave him my contact info though, but he would need to make the follow up move, as that really is what sales is all about.

Lol, never realized that getting promoted to a certain level meant no more business cards... But here we are.

You mean you don't yell at them and call corporate.....What kind of human being are you.

I dismiss poor service these days and I still accept it. But recognize when great service is provided especially considering the poor wage they are given. Some kid wants to be a dick, I say good on ya... The world needs more trolls, but they won't get an ounce of my time.

Of course I realize what you are referring to, but I'm sure she will waddle her fat ass through here and have some anectodal story of how this is relevant to her, her dumb ass kid, or her fake illness.

you're a good man charlie brown. 

:)

seriously. you probably made that kid's day, just by acknowledging his awesome customer service. 

and i'm the same, when someone gives me the shitty service, i don't go off on a rant, 

'i just ask 'are you having a bad day?' that will 9/10 give that look like 'oh shit, i'm acting like an ass' and i'll get a smile.

if that 1 doesn't, i just tell them have a super awesome great day. and walk off. 

no reason to act like an ass to an ass. lots of wasted energy.

I'm intrigued to learn where he learned his customer service though.... 

good parenting skills. 

my kid hates her job. like, to the ends of the earth, but she is ALWAYS courteous and polite. 

they may be assholes at home, but out in public, act like you got some sense.

Very well could be.

 

could be that. or that he really likes 'helping' people choose yummy goodness. 

and since you're a regular, and probably as kind and polite as he is, he probably reciprocates that. 

i had a woman call me a n*gger when i worked at food lion many moons ago. 

i chuckled at her, and said 'bless your heart'. 

called me that again, 

finished ringing her up, bagged everything all proper (not putting her eggs on the bottom with cans on top), and offered to help her

out to her car. she told me to get my n*gger hands off her stuff. 

i just chuckled again, and told her to have a nice day. 

sometimes it's just better to be nice than waste that energy at people that get pissed off when you, the employee, is having a bad day.

What does being a nogger have to do either your ability to help and be courteous... 🤔🤔

Hey fuck you. No one cares about you trying to hire some white boi. He probably smelled the death of hookers on you and knows to stay away.

He was black. But you are predictable.

Someone being courteous and informing repeat customers of merchandise? I mean these seem like rather basic level industry qualities for good workers.

Maybe it's just been too long since I worked a retail or food job. I always did this when I was working one of those types of jobs when I was younger.
