I’d like to share some thoughts on my recent experience. The customer service representative seemed almost afraid to welcome me — or maybe saying “hello” just wasn’t part of the training manual.
The hesitation, the lack of warmth, and the “why-are-you-bothering-me” energy made the entire interaction feel… enchanting in its own way. I mean, it takes a special talent to make a customer feel invisible and unwelcome at the same time.
Jokes aside, first impressions matter. A simple, genuine greeting can go a long way in setting the tone for good service. I sincerely hope that, in the future, your team might try the radical new concept of actually appearing glad that customers are there
