As a salesman there is always the inevitable rude person out there. My problem is that I don't handle them well. This week was a good example.
Me: Hi do you need my service?
Her: Do you see the "No Soliciting" sign above your head?
Me: Sure, but we just talk with businesses to help them save money.
Her: I already work with someone and I really don't want to talk to you.
Me: Wow. Next time I want to mail something (it was one of those mail stores) I won't come here.
Her: I don't care.
Me: Your customer service really sucks.
Her: I don't care, GET OUT!
Me: That attitude will keep you in business for a long time.
Probably not the best way to handle that. But the nice thing is I will never go back there nor will I ever see her again. Which leads to my big dilemma. Is it ok to be rude to someone if you are never going to see them again? What if they are rude first (it may not have come across, but this lady was rude!)? I'm not sure it is ok, but it sure is fun.
