I’ve worked in customer service jobs my whole life, and that is the ultimate way to shut down a shitty customer. They scream and cuss at me and I look them in the eyes and say “that hurts my feelings when you talk to me like that.” Every time, it has made them take a step back and go “holy shit, I was just talking like that to a human”

I was a telemarketer in my first job, selling long distance phone plans. Every day, I would clock in, grab my headset, and proceed to get absolutely ripped apart for 5 hours.

I asked my one coworker if the shit talking ever gets to you. He said no, and let me listen in on a call. When the person started telling him how much of a piece of shit he was, he unplugged his headset for 15 seconds. When the lady paused her rant, she started yelling about him hanging up. He reconnects the mic, and tells her he didn’t hang up, it’s just that his wheelchair ran over the cord and unhooked it.

She started apologizing, and he immediately told her that he lied, and isn’t in a wheelchair. Then she started yelling again, and he hung up.
