"I have no problem complaining if it's deserved but don't just do it for the sake of it I see people in restaurant doing it then laughing when the waitress or waiter walk away what's the point " I'd never complain about food in a restaurant in case they gobbed in my pudding. | |||

One happened to be a lad taking his new "girlfriend" on a date. She started eating said it was nice. He complained to her. So she tried and said it was nice. He kicked up a fuss and told the waitress to take both plates away and bring fresh food. Think he was trying to show off to be fair. She didn't look like she liked his actions either and I felt sorry for the waitress. Also people do have days where they don't want to be in there job or even in work that day. Don get this as what are they supposed to do, quit? Maybe they are applying for work elsewhere. Maybe they can't get another job for reason. There is a job shortage going around and it isn't there fault. Plus society and awful customers don't help either. People who provide a service are human too and have feelings. They aren't robots. | |||

The waiter/waitress's rent at fault so always be nice to them. If it's that bad complain to the chef/manager and/or mention it to the waiter and he/she can have a word with them. Some people normally think/speak towards people who that person speaks to them. If they don't say it out allowed because they fear their job maybe lost, etc. They will think and dislike the fact they can't do anything about being mistreated and this shows then when they see other people as they look unhappy. | |||

My point was if a colleague had grief from customers all day, constant rudeness and the problem wasn't their fault at all. Then I stand by the colleague. You can say I don't go by the policy "the customer is always right". Nor do I look for what's best for the company when it comes to complaints. I go by what I think is right overall. | |||

" If they are there, being paid to do a job, and are making it clear to clients and customers that they don't want to be there then yeah, they should quit and open up the job for someone who will act in a professional manner. Staff are paid not to let their bad day show to clients and customers. Being human is no excuse. Some customers are horrible or an absolute pain in the arse but if you can't cope with that, don't take a customer facing role. A shortage of jobs means there are plenty of people who will grit their teeth and smile at the very worst customers, so anyone thinking they can let their bad day show through probably won't have the opportunity to do so for long. Job centre staff are worse than most customers. | |||

I agree there is no need to be rude when complaining but unfortunately not everyone is a ray of sunshine like me and you have to take the rough with the smooth if you work in the customer service industry. equally they re the face of the company so no matter how shit a day they are having they should present themselves in manner that promotes the company. | |||

Same goes the other way too" I'm not sure what you are trying to say. My point, since you seem to have missed it, is that customer facing staff are paid to deal professionally with all customers, even difficult ones, (with the exception of those who are violent and genuinely abusive). If you think a difficult customer is bad, grit your teeth and smile because you'll almost certainly find job centre staff worse. | |||

Just the same as if am having a shitty day it doesn't mean i can take it out on others. if you or your 'colleague' can't control your emotions that well maybe you shouldn't be in customer facing roles? | |||

But but but it's not his 'colleagues' fault that there aren't any other jobs available. He's only doing that one because he has no choice and therefore shouldn't have to do it properly if he doesn't feel like it. It's the fault of whoever is to blame for him having to work in a job he doesn't want to do. He's only human. Basic immature work "ethic" and complete lack of life experience and sense of personal responsibility. | |||

"I have no problem complaining if it's deserved but don't just do it for the sake of it I see people in restaurant doing it then laughing when the waitress or waiter walk away what's the point Most of my complaints are when I'm eating out...when clearly staff don't want to be there and make you fully waste they don't want to be there...However I've seen some really rude people complain over the most trivial things..it's the victor meldew of society lol I have witnessed both. One happened to be a lad taking his new "girlfriend" on a date. She started eating said it was nice. He complained to her. So she tried and said it was nice. He kicked up a fuss and told the waitress to take both plates away and bring fresh food. Think he was trying to show off to be fair. She didn't look like she liked his actions either and I felt sorry for the waitress. Also people do have days where they don't want to be in there job or even in work that day. Don get this as what are they supposed to do, quit? Maybe they are applying for work elsewhere. Maybe they can't get another job for reason. There is a job shortage going around and it isn't there fault. Plus society and awful customers don't help either. People who provide a service are human too and have feelings. They aren't robots. If they are there, being paid to do a job, and are making it clear to clients and customers that they don't want to be there then yeah, they should quit and open up the job for someone who will act in a professional manner. Staff are paid not to let their bad day show to clients and customers. Being human is no excuse. Some customers are horrible or an absolute pain in the arse but if you can't cope with that, don't take a customer facing role. A shortage of jobs means there are plenty of people who will grit their teeth and smile at the very worst customers, so anyone thinking they can let their bad day show through probably won't have the opportunity to do so for long. Job centre staff are worse than most customers. So if you go in the job centre and come out in a bad mood. It's your fault? I wouldn't have thought it is. Same goes the other way too I'm not sure what you are trying to say. My point, since you seem to have missed it, is that customer facing staff are paid to deal professionally with all customers, even difficult ones, (with the exception of those who are violent and genuinely abusive). If you think a difficult customer is bad, grit your teeth and smile because you'll almost certainly find job centre staff worse." Treating other customers bad? You are either reading too much into what i said and took it the wrong way or you're deluded. I never said staff who have had a bad day should return it on other customers. I meant they may just show sadness whilst at work, but still be polite, helpful, etc | |||

Regardless, you cannot let your mood come across to customers to the extent that they feel you don't want to be there or they're not getting good service. Customer facing staff are paid to deal with customers without being rude and without moping about or sulking. Even staff who aren't customer facing need to behave professionally with other members of staff. | |||

"Anyone like to complain ? I do " I can't say i have evr had to do a 'formal' complaint, my tone of voice and vocabulary tends to give it away to customer services that i'm not happy Have worke for one of the big four banks and the way some people complain without having a clue about what they are complaining about or what they signed up for did annoy me. My tip would be, if youa re going to complain to a bank, make sure you know some financial rules and regs first else you'll be left wondering around in circles !! | |||

I have one example on where someone could say if they were professional or not, but I have a feeling what people will come out with " having worked in many customer facing jobs both retail and call centre based i know a fair bit about how to deal with the effects of rude people but i still stand by the fact that to be a good employee you cannot let your emotions show in that type of role. develop coping strategies, speak to your boss if you are feeling that worked up about things but i can assure you if i was manager of someone who was not able to do their job in a professional manner and bought the company into disrepute by being sullen and sulky development plans would be afoot. the fact of the matter is the person that pissed you off probably doesn't give the encounter a second thought so why should your next customer have to look at a sulky, unhappy face? | |||

"Dealing with the emotional stresses of work is something which most organisations don't do effectively if at all.

Sadly emotional intelligence is not something that is emphasised as a development need from childhood onwards. Instead modern society is regressive in it's approach to its development. It is seen as superfluous in the workplace, as the link to bottom line benefits is not direct. However emotional intelligence is now considered the most critical indicator of an individual's in job performance. | |||

"Severe example coming and it did happen. The person I know annoys me a lot. However they didn't deserve this. 2 customers at a till. Colleague starts talking to the one she's serving and doesn't take long either and it's smiles all round. She asks that customer before she served the second customer how someone she knows is doing and was told by them they died a week ago. The colleague in questions turned from a happy woman into an emotional mess in seconds and as she was about to burst into tears. She got a colleague on the till to serve the second customer. When things "calmed down". The customer second in the queue (one after the one she was serving who told her the news). Put in a compliant in to the department manager saying she should have been more professional. Kept her emotions under control until she wasn't serving a customer or asked to go upstairs and kept her emotions in check before she got there as no customer should witness that. When I heard the news. I was like . I don't care what anyone says. We're all human and in some circumstances. Even though I agree with not treating future customers like your previous ones have treated you. Some emotions must be shown somewhere. Maybe have a joke about the previous one with the new one. Yes there are limits of how you should act, but everyone has limits and everyone shows that "bad side" somewhere. Even if it's just in body language. " thats completely different to what we are talking about though. she did act professionally by asking someone else to serve. she didn't take her emotions out on anyone. what you were talking about before was people being sullen and sulky because they didn't like their job, noting to do with getting upset for personal reasons. I anything her boss should have made sure that she was ready to be serving on the tills. | |||

" The customer service tales you have posted over the last year leave me thinking you work for the most dramatic and emotional organisation ever. Obviously if someone gets devastating news there will be emotional leakage. The customer may well make a complaint. The issue is then what the manager does about it and how that is handled. What was being referred to earlier on this thread was people showing their disinterest in their jobs and that coming across to the customer. | |||

She loaded the belt with the trolly of food,about £100 worth,an then walked out.The look on the girl faces was wonderful." These days you be arrested for shop lifting | |||
