Well since I’ve been mostly in customer service jobs I’d like for people to know that the reps don’t make the rules or decisions. When there is something about a store or service that’s undesirable such as prices then it’s something to bring up to upper management or just let them lose you as a customer. But you can be as nice to the reps as they are to you.

    If you work around forklifts, never trust the driver. Ideally they’re being safe and watching out for you, but don’t gamble on it. They’re heavier than a car and can very easily kill you or at the least break your foot and it will be an arduous healing process.

    Electrical engineer. You can’t develop and ship an iPhone in a year. Apple has multiple generations under development at the same time.

    If your router or switch costs less than your computer, I can’t help you.
    If your computer costs less than your car, I can’t help you either.

    As a welder, quality doesn’t come cheap or fast. A lot of work goes into my work. Even if all I’m doing is welding Part A to Part B, a lot of research, prep, and planning goes into it.

    I need to know what the base material is, the base metal thickness, I need to clean the HAZ, I need to protect everything near the HAZ. I need to actually weld it and clean it for repaint.

    A good welder plans to have their welds last the lifespan of the thing being welded on. If I’m welding a car frame together, I’m going to make damn sure they’re good long-lasting welds that resist corrosion. Those welds will outlive the car itself.

    I work in food and the amount of customers that act like every mistake is a personal attack is wild.

    If you actually think someone is deliberately messing up your food you need to just stop going there entirely.

    Technically speaking there’s not that much stopping me from slapping the shit out of you.

    As a funeral director, I’m not trying to upsell you into a nicer casket or talk you into something you don’t want. I’m just trying to help you get through it and be happy with the decisions you made.

    I do equipment ordering for a nation-wide institution of 36,000 staff with hundreds of offices and clinics. My job would be so much easier if people would tell me where they want it at the time they’re telling me they need it.

      I have to admit that I often forget to specify this. The fact that I’m Field Service doesn’t make it easier for my vendor to do the guesswork either, but they’ve gotten used to the fact that the address of the head office is only for billing, so they’ve made a habit out of asking.
