What 0:01:17.680 --> 0:01:19.319 what are you doing right? What were you doing before 0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:19.760 you called? 0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:24.640 I was watching this stream, I was laying down. So 0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:25.679 I got work in the morning. 0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:27.440 Oh yeah, what do you do? 0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:33.560 I worked at Walmart in the entertainment department. I like 0:01:33.600 --> 0:01:34.880 electronics and everything. 0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:40.160 Okay, what's the stupidest question somebody has asked you? In 0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:42.760 the inner any electronic section of the Walmart? 0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:49.840 It was it was like, so, we get a lot 0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:53.840 of older people, and like, no hate to older people, 0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:58.600 but they just asked the most obvious questions after their answers, 0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:04.480 you know what I mean. Yeah, So it was mainly 0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:11.840 just a question about how her phone works, and it 0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:15.400 was it was just a struggle. But my customer service 0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:16.720 is made not a bird. 0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:20.000 So well, you know, it's really it's funny you say that, 0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:24.800 because on the surf, the question of how a phone works, 0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:29.040 the answer to that is infinitely complicated. I have I 0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:31.960 would have no fucking idea how the phone works. 0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:38.640 That's true. It's magical that that is true. That is true. 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:40.720 So that's you know, that's why I kind of gave 0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:43.200 her the benefits. I'll give them all the benefits of 0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:43.919 the doubt. 0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:47.360 So you say you have great customer service skills. 0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:54.920 Yeah, so there's no go ahead. So there's there's this 0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:57.600 lady that comes in because we got a photo lab 0:02:57.639 --> 0:03:01.040 and everything, and you know, she comes in your posts 0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:04.800 for her church and every time she comes in, she 0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:11.640 she's always looking for me, and mainly because I think 0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:14.560 it is because of my good service. I don't know, 0:03:14.680 --> 0:03:16.120 I feel like I'm bragging right now. 0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:20.079 Yeah, listen, brag away man, you do you you what's 0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:22.360 the key to good customer service? 0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:25.200 Turn the brain off? 0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:30.440 Turning your brain off. How does that make you better? 0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:38.320 Because if you turn your brain off, you don't think 0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:42.440 about what they're asking too hard, and you don't think about, 0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:46.280 you know, whether it was dumb or not. You just 0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:57.880 think about, oh, they need this, so. 0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:56.320 It's a hilarious answer. That's a hilarious answer. 0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:59.560 So so basically, the way that you deal with the 0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:01.720 stupid questions that people ask you while you're working at 0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:04.720 the Walmart is to just not think about how stupid 0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:07.440 it is. To basically numb your brain to the point 0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:10.480 where you're on the same level as them and their 0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:12.200 questions don't feel as stupid to you. 0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:16.240 Yeah, like we get it's Walmart. You know, so we 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:21.200 get like sometimes you know, normal people. Sometimes it's like 0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:28.280 really crazy over the top people like I've only been 0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:31.280 working there for a few months. I think my second 0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:35.279 month there, there was this lady comes in right and 0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:37.599 she doesn't get any electronics. She just comes in with 0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:43.080 a bunch of groceries and she comes back to me. 0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:44.600 She's like, hey, can I get this stuff here? I 0:04:44.640 --> 0:04:47.400 don't like, yeah, let me go help out this lady first, 0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:50.880 So I hope up the wady, I'll come back. And 0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:53.360 then when the turns turning line, she's just sitting there 0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:57.719 stareing at me with a blank stare, like a fuse. 0:04:57.880 --> 0:05:01.800 I'm like, why are you scared? And she says, so 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:03.800 people don't want to People want to stay there, but 0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:06.160 don't want to keep staying. When I look back at 0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:11.680 him or something, and I'm like, uh, okay, do. 0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:13.080 You think she had a crush on you? 0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:20.440 Absolutely if he was an older lady too. And I'm 0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:22.640 in a relationship.
