I did this waitressing, DJing, when you work at a call center it’s a great way to get the customer to quit yelling at you. Everyone has a first day! It’s none of their business when that was.

i worked for over a year on a cruise ship with a singer who claimed he was leaving the ship forever next week to play the lead role of a hit broadway musical in Japan. The crowd went wild every time and then we launched into the show’s theme song.

Working at a restaurant we were always told that if the order didn’t get out in to say that the food didn’t meet the high standards we expect and so you made the cooks recook it

I had the training sticker on my name tag for almost my entire job. My manager kept threatening to make me a new name tag. Wouldn’t let her do it 😂

At the haunted house I worked at we used to laugh and say “oh, I don’t work here” when customers said “you’re not allowed to do (thing)”, just to spook them and make them run away. Then the owner said we couldn’t anymore.

I still claim “I’m new” after 2.5 years and I will continue to do so until they hire someone newer.

On bad days I would stick a post it on my shirt saying “I’m Barbara and I’m new!”
My name’s not Barbara and I worked there for like 20 yrs…

If you don’t lie to the customers constantly, you’re doing customer service wrong
