My Customer Service Rant...

~Working in customer service can really make me laugh sometimes... the people I meet and the questions that I'm asked are all over place.... they range from making me really mad to making me laugh uncontrollably and it's an experience unlike many other. 

                 I meet a variety of people everyday; those who share everything about themselves in ten minutes and then others who are rather shy or in a hurry to get to their next destination and seem to only say two words, "thank you" as they walk out.  The thing that makes me laugh the most is dealing with coupons...  Customers seem to always want to use a coupon and then keep it for their next visit... its as if they consider a paper coupon some sort of punch card or credit card, when in reality it has a one-time use value.  Then I have the customers who claim that in the computer system, under their name, is an automatic discounted coupon which can be used with every visit, seeing as though this does not exist nor did it ever, I continue to wonder where people get this information from, but it keeps me laughing.  Lastly, are those wanting to combine multiple coupons and discounts, I repeatedly have to kindly explain that most stores or companies do not let this occur because if they did they would be losing a great deal of money!

-After all this people just never cease to amaze me anymore with their actions, questions, and thoughts… I'm almost ready for any and everything!
