Dude, a customer is a customer. Whether they're rough looking or silky dressed, as long as they're respectful they're worth to have in the store.

[@jamesbizs]

Yes and no. The guy couldn’t afford much, and they are clearly a high end store. So taking time with one customer who might buy a $30 tie, takes away from the customer that would buy a $300 tie. Is it nice? No. Does it make sense? Yes. Now if they had more workers than customers 🤷🏻‍♂️

My Dad sold cars 20 something years. Master Salesman every month for like 15 of those years straight out of some 50 people. He had the same philosophy. Treated everybody the same. One time a guy came into the lot dressed in ragged and oil stained clothes. Nobody wanted to help him except for my Dad. The guy bought a Cadillac with all the add-ons for around 100 grand, with a duffle bag full of cash. Guy was a CEO of some local construction biz, his car broke down, he got it running on the side of the road just enough to limp it within a few blocks of the dealership.

I worked at Dillard's in the men's clothing section. A man came in, dirty and smelled of a hard day's labor in the sun. I had smelled many men that had worked hard, my dad, brothers, family friends that worked in the field. The other young lady retailers were trying to get someone else to wait on him. I volunteered without being asked. He was color blind and needed an entire outfit for his daughter's wedding. He was my favorite customer. He wanted me to pick out his outfit for him down to his socks. It was the highlight of working there. I got to chose everything.

One time I went to a suit shop to look for a grey tie. I didn’t realize it was a high end store and when the sales person brought out a tray of grey ties I looked at the price tags, and I said, I’m sorry, but I can’t afford any of these ties (they were cashmere, $150 ties). The sales person looked at me and said, “you can have this one, it’s from the last season anyway”. I said “no it’s okay, are you sure?” He turned to me and said: “I’m just glad to see a young guy like you who wants to wear a tie”. Later that day I went back to the store to bring him a coffee and a cake from a local bakery. I still have that tie, and it’s one of my favorites. It is the reason I later got a grey suit, to match my free, $150 cashmere tie.

[@Killacam1992]

Thank you for sharing your story. It’s a nice little touch of humanity.

[@bendeguzkocsis2692]

See its smart in the business sense because the profit on the suit (if u did it at the same place) is probably more than they have even subtracting the full cost+lost profit on the tie. Turns out the best business strategy, as I see it is “treat your customers right even if it eats into your immediate profits because surprise, people that like you will give you money for your services”

[@sakuranakamura1814]

Naw thats so sweet :) Great guys! You and the salesperson

[@skilledarchitect]

I used to do sales on the field and I used to scout small and medium sized factory shops. Suddenly, one day in Tardeo Industrial Estate, I entered a nice factory making ties and got into a conversation with an old man and his wife behind a desk. Just got talking about things and forgot everything about the pitch. I had such a good time and was about to leave sensing the couple were a bit worn out by my energy. I said my byes to them and suddenly the old man asks for One rupee which those days was about 28 to the dollar. I, slid the rupee across to the old man with deep respect, without a word and he stared at me with those moist grey eyes, that old men have. He looked across at his wife and they spoke to each other without words and without any expressions. I felt a love and joy for them, so deep that even now it overwhelms me. They slid across a golden flat paper box with a plastic window on it. I can still remember the tie inside. Deep blue and red. The colour of Presidents and power, in a fabric so soft and fluffy. I didn't have the heart or grace left to refuse a loving gift. I could only choke out a slurred thank you so much... The couple was deeply gratified that I instantly fell in love with the tie and a small tie-pin. Everything after that is a blur, I left for the day, reached home and my eyes kept overflowing with tears all through the day. Ungrateful and privileged teen that I was, I never went back till I forgot this incident... And this video jolted that memory back to life. 32 years ago. I deeply thank you for your kind share, it helps me relive the same memory of the old man and his wife and their amazing gift of love and kindness to me.🎉❤😊

I walked into a jewellery store about a decade ago, to look at watches. Couldn't afford the one I was interested in, but the salesperson didn't know that. She still took the time to tell me about the brand, the features etc. I thanked her and left. Now just a couple of years ago I went back to the same jeweller and bought a watch. Not the same I'd seen ten years earlier, but still a nice watch that I couldn't have afforded back then. I related to the manager why I had returned to this store to make my eventual purchase. He was moved, and asked me to repeat the story to his other employees, which I happily did. It was my way of saying thank you to them for their kindness, years earlier.

Every person deserves a basic amount of respect. Respect can be gained or lost based on future actions. Employees should be kind and friendly even to difficult customers but your employees also should not have to put up with bs. They don’t get paid near enough to be shouted at or belittled. A real man, a real figure in authority, would understand that and do what is right.

I had a bespoke suit store close to savile row during my twenties. As an American, I tried competing with savile row in their own backyard. One day I had a whole bunch of people at my store looking to buy a suit. I was super excited, hardly anyone came into my boutique. Then comes in a very dirty man with work boots and orange shirt. My other customers looked at him and even one woman told her husband, "see, these are the type of people that come here, savile row is down the street". All of them left. I was saddened, but still treated the man with respect. He told me, "don't worry about those pretentious blokes mate, I'm all you need". Turns out the guy was a rich international architect that loved doing construction work not just sitting in an office. He bought ten suits from the finest wool, silk, cashmere, etc. I made with him what I would of made with all those people buying a suit. He is a regular. Every 6 months he buys 10 suits

Worked at a Jeep dealership years ago. We had a winter storm one afternoon and overnight. Snow, sleet, ice everywhere. Just nasty weather. I went in early the next morning. Half the salespeople didn't even show up. About 10:30 a guy comes walking up the street wearing some ratty, old hunting gear. He walks in the showroom and looks at a new Wrangler. I figured he just wanted to warm up, and that's OK. Twenty minutes later, he's writing a check for the most loaded out Wrangler on the lot. Apparently, his regular car couldn't get out of the drive. It actually slid into his sons car. He needed to get to work. He had a surgery scheduled to preform that afternoon. The Jeep did great in the snow and ice. He showed up a few days later. This time, I sold him a shiny new Dodge Ram for his son's graduation. NEVER judge a book by its cover.

I took a table of an elderly couple that kinda looked down on their luck. The other waitstaff didn't want them thinking they would get stiffed on the tip. The job only paid .94 cents an hour (back in the 80s in florida) but since it was a breakfast place and if you were good and quick you could rake in about $100 to $150 if not more in tips every 5am to 1 pm shift. Not only did this couple buy what ever they wanted they tipped like 35% they just looked rough as they were cleaning and painting their new condo they just bought. On the ocean with beautiful views. They came in every day almost for breakfast and asked for me or the other young lady I was friends with. The older woman whispered to me that she'd heard the snooty bitchy other waiter and waitress and that I was a good girl. They tipped huge every time they came in. When I decided to return to Michigan they were so sweet and told me they would miss me very much and left me $100 bill as a goodbye gift and for extra gas on the way home. I did let them know my mom was flying down to help me drive home and we had the gas covered. She just insisted that I use it for something fun and to remember them. My mother and I stopped at mammoth caves in way home with it. As we ended up staying an extra day on the road. But I always tried to treat people like I wanted to be treated.

You easily can. What you need to do is to do it consistently and use the opportunities. My grandfather was asked by a few local restaurants to raise prices as the rest of the industry was suffering and he was the lowest price by far. He did so because he knew they had a higher overhead. However, he didn't pocket the difference. He would save any amount paid by his regulars to an envelope for them. A few days before Christmas he would give them the envelope. I know of at least 20 people who all said they literally always looked forward to Christmas as their parents were somehow able to make a miracle happen of this big meal and time together. One of those people broke down when I told him the story as he realized his parents were one of those frequent customers. He literally told me that it is what made him strive to be a better father as he wanted to be able to do what his parent's did only for more people and without the monetary lows. This being said, he surrounded himself with some of the best people as a result. Local linemen would literally prioritize his business and his road. The local judge was a frequent customer. Lawyers loved the place. In fact, because he also served alcohol and full meals (which was uncommon at the time), people would bring their whole families and the place was known for a family friendly atmosphere. As a result, many wives would literally let their husbands drink there without a care as they knew it wasn't going to get rowdy and my grandfather had a policy of cutting people off before they were truly drunk. Many local bars had a life span of 2-5 years. His was going on 30+ of all profitable years. In fact, his only advertising was a 8×11 sign that just said the name of the bar/tavern from the first day it was open.

She went from being unsure and looking at the ground to having the biggest smile on her face, and nothing beats that 😊 I'm also blessed to have awesome managers who allow that kind of interaction and encourage it because they understand that honesty, kindness, and the ability to genuinely complement/critique customers on what garnments work/don't work for them and it shines through because people come back for that honesty...

Went home, came back: navy blue trousers, nice shirt tucked in and a barbour raincoat. They swarmed me, I played the game for a while and then told them what happened and to get lost.

I mean once I was staring at some bose headphones for a stupid long time because they are expensive but I needed something for when I travel and it helps me work. It was one of the airport stores but the prices were actually normal retail so yay. The lady working asked if I needed help. Told her couldnt decide and want to be sure since they are kinda pricey. She told me I could use her discount and get 50% off. Was the nicest thing that had happened to me in a while. They were the best headphones i have had for a long long time. Still use them to this day. The noise canceling helps when I am in loud stores and busy places. Honestly it was like magic when I put them on. So grateful for the lady. They have also helped me tremendously. Stops sensory overload.

Nowadays does anyone see Alec Baldwin playing a kind and considerate human being with empathy?? Seems like it would now be a very hard sell.

If I were to help that customer in my retail jobs of the past… man. I’d be thrilled to go out of my way to make sure he was happy and ready for his reunion. I’d go the extra mile and personally pay for it, like he did, just to put a smile on that man’s face. Definitely a once in a year customer. His excited energy was uplifting. Heck, I might even recommend other good places if he needed something we didn’t carry.

[@HvinnyTheViking]

Truly I think that's the only way you'd ever get Alec Baldwin to do a nice thing for anybody... Script it. considering how he treats his own family

[@markuhler2664]

​@@edkelly8123So you can never correct someone who is sinning? I'm pretty sure that's not what Jesus meant. We are supposed to support each other as brothers do. My only criticism might be that Baldwin would never see this (or have someone near him tell him this). That makes OP's statement fall into arguably gossip. But given how H-wood wants you to worship them, you could also argue that it is preventing brothers and sisters from idolatry.

I had a woman come into a retail store I worked at, filthy as hell, smelled awful, she had sandles on and her toenails were about 2” long and brown and nasty. She was unfailing polite, but I honestly thought she was homeless. She bought one small thing and redeemed a free item coupon. She paid with an American Express black card (only time I’ve ever seen one). When she left I watched the parking lot, she got into a Bugatti Chiron.

[@thatdude9625]

A customer is a customer, period. For a long while I worked at my families liquor store. I had a homeless man who would come in every day for a bottle of water and a shot of vodka (cheaper than a cup of coffee in my area at $1.50) and he was just the nicest dude. My favorite customer by far. And everyone around him treated him like garbage. It was the saddest thing to hear, but I’m glad I was able to give him some light whenever he came in my store ❤️

Its amazing how a spiteful, angry, hateful man can play the role of a decent human being so beautifully! It's an illustration that speaks volumes. Alec knows how to be respectable, kind, and likable - but he doesn't want it.
