As someone who works with the public we don’t want to have conversations. We want to do our job and be left alone .
Deadass lol I get tired of saying my day is going smooth after so many visitors/vendors ask. It’s like just keep it moving.
Quick banter's fine just don't be an oblivious ass and try to strike up a conversation when we're clearly busy
when im 6 hrs into the customer service personality and trying to get ppl in and out as fast as possible and someone is forcing conversation
Provided if they’re not busy, but you’d be surprised at how well you’re able to develop your communication and social skills through this method. It’s becoming a daily habit to grab something from Starbucks before heading off to work and personally, always do my best to strike up a conversation with the worker. Even feels good that I’m treating them with respect, given how much society (and prob some from this site) love to s*** on fast-food workers. In reality they arguably work harder than most mfs from the Office ya feel me.
Start with smiling at them, then talk about anything, whether it be about how their morning is going, favorite hobbies, music, etc. if they’re not doing anything at all, feel free to dive into deeper topics.
Something I wanted to share with y’all
aka small talk yes
