Eh, sounds like someone was trying to be nice to you and you blew them off. That’s different than the corporation expecting you to be cheery. Some people have to work retail and get through the day by chatting customers up and having, you know, human conversations.

I’ve worked retail, gently caress chatty customers too. It’s not nice to chat up strangers who clearly don’t want to.

What bothers me more than anything else is “using their name”. That was a fad for a bit in a job I had before, must ask the customer “can I call you [firstname]”, must try and say that name at least twice on the call.

No, gently caress that, nobody talks like that! There are appropriate contextual times in a conversation to address someone by their name, and most conversations do not actually feature them. Using someone’s name outside of those times is painfully obvious as marking insincerity and reduces trust. And if I do have cause to address someone by name, I can decide for myself if this is a customer who should be addressed as “Courtney” or “Mrs. Williams”.

I don't know what you're talking about, Reveilled. It is very normal in conversations between adult homo sapiens such as the one we are engaging in right now to use one anothers given names. I feel strongly, Reveilled, that you would have an easier time making friends if you were willing to just not be so stubborn all the time. Would you like to be my friend?

Using someone's name over and over is also a power trip* for some people.

When I worked retail, there was a very specific type of person who'd always use your name over and over and they were always massive creeps who were getting off on it.

But, occasionally, the joke was on them. If they'd handed me their loyalty card to scan, their full name was printed on the front. So I'd use their name right back at them, but wouldn't tell them how I knew their name, which would drive them wild.

Of all the customer complaints I ever received (and there were many) I think most were because I, lowly peon, dared use the holy name of my inherent superior, the customer.

gently caress I hated retail.



* the tiniest, most pathetic power trip to be sure.

It fills me with a combination of hatred and jealousy every time. Here I am, forgetting their name the split second after they finish saying it, and they have the nerve to not only remember mine but also rub it in my face :argh:

Nah, that's very explicitly some Chick-Fil-A bullshit. Either everyone working there are the happiest retail employees in the world, or they have some dystopian forced cheerfulness program going on. I know which of the two I'd bet on.
