The Service Industry Can Drive You Crazy
(We wear headsets at my work place to hear each other across the store. I tend to talk to myself while I put away clothes or tidy up, i.e. ‘Where do you go? How did you get on the floor?’ etc. This all happens over our headsets.)
Manager: “So we just got a customer complaint that one of the girls putting away clothes was talking to herself.”
Coworker: “Seriously?”
Manager: “Seriously. This is not a joke.”
Me: “So, that was me.”
Coworker: “Great job, [My Name]. Way to scare the customers!”
(Now every time I talk to myself at work, we joke that I should be careful or else someone will complain.)
