There is no question, working in the field of customer service is one of the most stressful and under compensated job in the world.
Attending to the needs of a handful of customers while trying your best to give them a worthwhile experience sure ain’t easy.
And because they are also humans going through life’s up-and-downs, the ‘skill’ of being pleasant to people you don’t know can physically drain you – especially if they are being difficult. That’s why people in the customer service industry deserves a pat in the back once in a while.
For instance, one way of letting these people know that they are doing a great job is by giving them a generous amount of tip. This act of generosity is not only heartwarming, it is also a big help for people in the customer service field.
