We’ve probably all felt like crying at our jobs at one point or another, but if you get so upset that actually weep at work, that’s pretty bad.

In today’s story, a worker admitted what a customer did that made her cry.

Let’s see what happened.

A customer made me cry today.

“I’m not a crier either.

It was more angry crying than anything.

I work for the state and I’m a clerical worker for state assistance programs like food stamps. I’m constantly yelled at and abused by customers angry over their food stamps.

Sounds like a rough job…

I understand these customers are angry at the situation and not me. But treating me like dirt won’t help your situation.

Here’s how my first client interaction went today:

“Amy I can help at window three.”

“Are you sure you can help me? Because you sure didn’t help me last week.”

“I’m not sure what you mean ma’am. I didn’t see you last week.”

“YES YOU DID.”

That wasn’t me…

“I can see your records. Window one helped you last week.”

“Are you calling me stupid? I KNOW it was you.”

“It wasn’t. But what can I do for you today?”

“My case is messed up. I need an interview for benefits. Now.”

“We’re booked up today but I can get you one Friday at 9 am.”

“That’s not good enough. I had to call out of work for this. I want an interview now.”

“I can’t do that ma’am.”

Jeez…

“Then I want to talk to a supervisor.”

“There are no supervisors here today.”

“Why are you lying? There has to be a supervisor here. Give me your supervisor’s phone number.”

“I’m not lying. Supervisor’s come in the office only once a week. And I cannot give out a supervisor’s cell phone number to clients.”

“Give me a supervisor’s info. NOW.”

“Ma’am. I’m going to have to step away for a while and come back so I can stay professional with you.”

“Yeah you do that.”

Comes back after a couple minutes

“I need to help other clients. Should I put you down for a Friday interview or not?”

“Yes. The earliest one. And what’s your name so I can report you?”

Surgery sweet fake customer service voice “Sure. My name is OP and my supervisor’s name is Beth.”

Then she has the audacity to say as she’s walking away….

“You should really learn to be nicer if you’re going to work with the public.”

Cue the waterworks because I’m stressed with life and this job.”
