34 Memes That Respond Perfectly to Customers Who Make People Working in Customer Service Say “Damn It”
The customer is not always right in every case.
The saying that the customer is always right cannot be applied in every situation. It can be challenging to deal with rude customers.
You see, human beings are inherently designed to care about others, so when someone appears restless or confused, our initial response is to help (unless we can't at the moment). And that is what customer service is all about, right?
However, there's another side to it. Even organizations with the best products and services will inevitably encounter disagreements with angry customers.
Troublesome customers are an unavoidable reality. They can be difficult to handle, even if they represent only a small percentage of your overall clientele.
Learning how to manage troublesome customers is a significant milestone for any business owner, but those who feel the direct headache are the ones who actually attend to these customers. When you work in customer support, managing troublesome customers becomes part of the job, and it isn’t a simple task.
Consider customers who always barge in during closing hours, those who come with the “if it doesn’t scan, then it must be free” joke, or those who make sure to ransack a shelf you just arranged. The list is endless, so we decided to gather some of these scenarios that people in customer service face daily.
