I don't let the mean rude customers get to me.
Why?
Let me tell a story. I was working my first job. This guy came up to the register, very angry and rude. I was shocked. What did I do to deserve this?
He stormed out of the store. Immediately after, a woman came in, came directly up to me and apologized on his behalf. She said "I'm so sorry. That's my son. We just lost a family member."
That has always stuck with me. Usually, I am having a very brief interaction with the customers I serve. I don't know what is going on with them. I don't know what they are going through.
Is it fair for me to be treated that way? Absolutely not. But I choose to not judge because I don't know what kind of day they're having.
And that is how I will go through life being successful. Choosing kindness and compassion as much as I can.
