Let's be honest, there are tons of jobs that deal with people regularly. Working closely with people can be sweet, kind, and all over a pleasant experience in your day, but it can also be the complete opposite. Whether you are a cashier, waitress, retail employee, or just someone that has the pleasure (horror) of doing a job that deals with the public, you can take comfort in the fact that there are some things that everyone in your position deals with.

1. Terrible Jokes.

You know, the customer (usually elderly men) that come in and take forever to actually give you the money to pay their bill, all the while telling jokes with a huge grin just waiting on you to laugh, so you do, because even though it isn't funny, you also aren't heartless.

2. The unwanted advances.

There is a fine line between flirty, and creepy, some people never notice this line and run right past it, which is pretty impressive for someone with both feet in their mouth.

3. The customer that takes everything bad that has happened through to them in their lifetime out on you, even though they just met you 2 minutes ago.

It can't be avoided, just learn to become a good listener and not take anything personally.

4. Price Hagglers.

Even though discounts aren't your job, they've already seen the price with no discount sticker, they've already decided to buy the item and have the money out ready to give you, they will still ask...

5. The good guys.

Despite all the bad customers you have, there are good ones too, they understand the policies, and procedures and don't take their frustrations out on you, and innocent bystander, and if you're lucky you have more people like this than the first four.
