I manage a small shoe store and just had an interaction that made my day. The guy came in and immediately recognized me. Customer: “I was hoping you’d be here! You helped my wife find shoes and i cant thank you enough! Your knowledge on all the products and foot problems was so impressive.” I felt bad because i honestly dont remember him coming in before. We talked for a bit and he took home two pairs of sneakers. I know its not much, but getting such a genuine compliment really made my day. Im a woman with a young looking face so more often then not i get patronizing comments about how the customer “cant believe” i know anything about my products. I try to brush off condescending remarks, but its tough to hear them. Ive worked for the company for five years and at the end of the day i just want people to walk away feeling happy.
