I hate when customers call me by first name
Permalink   


You do not know me.  I don't know you.  Your name is the most personal thing about you.  When people who don't know me address me by my first name  it just makes me cringe.  I don't know if it's a power thing like the customer thinks they have the upper hand because they know your name but you don't know theirs, or if they're just being inappropriately familiar.

 Good post. I think most customers are just trying to be nice; it's their way of saying 'hey, I don't think of you as the 'help', I value you'. 

But then I worked in retail. For a long time. And I had it happen to me. And everything you said is absolutely spot on. 

I got where I'd flip my name tag backwards. Them customers don't need to know abything about me.

The ASScociate troll comes on here sounding off his stale, sad, worthless stupidity. The truth is he still lives in mommy's basement while reveling in his own pitiful fantasy of everyone should listen to his rules. No one does but he constantly falls to grasp reality. But then again he has no life at all.

The actual truth is that you sit in your little room, the air permeated with your foul mixture of feces, urine, sweat. You don't realize that it's you and instead you feebly try to blame others. As for triggering me? No, you are not. But you have allowed your stench to overwhelm your mind that you can't figure it out that it's you who stinks in every way, shape, and form.

They call you by your first name because it's on your name tag. It is used to make sure customers get the right person when doing a complaint or compliment on you. Deal with it. 

 

I have no problem when customers address me by my first name. If you dont want customers addressing you by your first name, get out of retail, fastfood, or any place that deals with the public, and work warehouse where you ship out products by a delivery truck. Until then, deal with it.

You know what's really sad??? Those of you who don't want any customers to know your first name...I once had this customer who would come in every so often and I was a bagger...We'd shoot the breeze, have a few laughs and I'd bag his groceries...We got comfortable around each other and one day he mentions that he used to work in grocery, too, back in the day for Publix down south...I asked him if he was working then and if he would consider working in the store I was at...He said he wasn't working, but eventually applied for a job in my store and got a position in produce...This man ended up being my produce mentor and the sole reason I got out of bagging and went into working stock...We eventually went on to have a 20+ year friendship until recently when he passed away at the age of 74...And now, I'm in the produce department, where I've never been happier and healthier...I would not be where I am today if I had not met this gentleman...orrr...introduced myself by name!

Something for you guys to REALLY think about...

But then again, maybe everything is ONLY ABOUT YOU and no one else...no

 Au contraire. My tears are the result of mirth and merriment from your feebleness. It's your own anger that is being shown here. As usual your fetid odor infiltrates your cranial area and you just keep repeating the same useless tripe. You're such a wasteful speck of toxic crud.

 Oh, the simple-minded propaganda that stems from a putrid mind such as yours. So few words. Such low IQ. It's no wonder that you are the one that's actually quite angered. Which is why you always keep repeating the same thing. Perhaps if you bathed, maybe your anger would subside.

Just wait till they whistle to you, that's when you say "Hey there, want me to beg and roll over so you can rub my belly?".. they just get weirded out and walk away or aggressively mad because you aren't obeying their commands.
