“I’ll call you back as soon as I can”
Working at Lowe’s I’ve learned that I need to tell people “and that might be hours from now this job is hectic”
Add "As soon as possible" to that list as well.
Boss wants something ASAP and it probably means ithey want it very soon and not when you're free
Some customers get so upset when I explain to them that I have a queue of other customers that I'm helping.
Like they're offended, as if I don't care about my job. Pisses me off, because while you're complaining about my lack of work ethic I'm the guy at work while we're understaffed because other people have decided not to work. I'm the guy who showed up, and I'm overloaded, and people read it as I'm lazy because it takes me a long time to get back to them.
