Dealing with customers is not an easy job.<\/h2>\n

We should always try to be kind to the people working in retail and food because they are the ones who deal with shit more than us. We should be the ones to beat the mentality that \u201cthe customer is always right\u201d. No, customers cannot always be right. They would call names sometimes, throw latte in the server\u2019s face, fake food allergies and whatnot. Some customers are toxic. May God give us the energy to deal with their shit.
