I am like the most socially anxious/awkward person and even I say hello to people, I even say hello to people walking down the street even if they don't say it first. I had no idea there were people who are like "I DONT OWE YOU A HELLO"...I'm sorry what? 😂

My poor dog was worried 😂🤣 I don’t personally understand the “I don’t get paid to say hello” mindset….…just be kind and greet your guest. Can you imagine meeting with your boss for your review and saying “for a dollar , I can start saying hello “ GET OUT OF HERE ! 😂😅…. It says a lot about who you are and your work ethic. I need us to care and be kind Love you Jess!!! Loving this series! 💛💛💛

I feel like I'm like a few other people who commented, but I do not enjoy talking to random people and get anxious around people. HOWEVER, as a cashier, I was smiling, saying hello, and asking people how they were doing. What's crazy is half the time when people are like "hey how are you" "fine how are you" no one is really paying attention or cares anyway. It's just common courtesy. This episode had me cackling. People never cease to amaze me, crack me up, or worry me. (coming from someone else who is also chronically online without tiktok.) Also I love how this was your topic and your opening is literally "Hey. Hi. Hello." haha

I am a teacher. I've worked customer service for years. Yes, you should say hello. I was taught when you enter the room to say hello. My students walk in. I greet them they dont say a word. I have to tell them to say good morning or Hello. When I go into stores, I say hello before the person who is checking me out. I, too, refuse to go to self check. We are in a different place in the world.

I am with you about how people should have common courtesy. I thank the server every time I get my glass of water refilled at a restaurant. Also with people being offended by opinions, I had a coworker’s husband get personally offended by me giving a book 1 star to a book he gave 5 stars. Said I have horrible tastes etc. You would have thought he wrote the book with how upset he was. Months later, he told his wife my opinions can’t be trusted. 😂. This is why I’m hesitant to mention if I didn’t like a book some loves/likes. If someone doesn’t like a book I loved, I just say that I’m sorry it didn’t work for you. It’s funny how benign opinions generate strong reactions.

I work in customer service and we get in a lot of trouble if we don't greet people (so much so that at home sometimes I will say "hi welcome" when my roommate comes into the living room unexpectedly) but the amount of people who absolutely stonewall any attempt at kindness from me while I ring them up is crazy. Wish I could one star review customers sometimes. Also I don't think enough people are aware of the amount of space they take up, whether that is standing in the doorway on their phones, or parking super close to the line, or being so rude and loud in a crowded space. It's not hard to be considerate 😭

You’re 100% right about how you can’t build a community if no one wants to be a community builder. Sometimes the self-care extremism is detrimental (the “I’m protecting my peace by not having to talk to randos” is just one aspect of this, there are plenty of others). There is an amount of giving that is required of every person to make a society function. I wonder if we worded it differently if we’d get a different response: “lack of community and isolating people is an easy way for the government to keep pressure on us as individuals. Think about the importance of unions, we are at our strongest when we stand together and we stand together by communicating and building relationships.” Also the idea that your boss is in a different class than you is the most laughable thing I’ve heard in ages. Yeah, in corporate jobs sure, but Bobby the assistant manager at the WalMart is making a dollar more than you girl get it together.

I worked in food service for 9 years, currently have worked in retail for 7 years, and it's not hard to greet someone. Have I had greeting turn into info dumping. . . Yes, but that's the job. They are coming to you for a product, they may not know how to find it, so yes, you may learn all kinds of things about people, but after they leave, you don't have to retain the info they gave you. Move on. I don't remember the last time I went to the drive thru and they even acknowledged me except for telling me my total, throwing my food at me, and turning away from the window. I'm not asking for a conversation, it's just awkward. I will say people are also getting ruder at checkouts: on their phones, having conversations with others, it's like you don't exist. I just think we don't know how to act in social situations anymore.

OMG I loved everything about this. I haven’t seen these conversations (about whether CS staff should say hi or not) but I do agree so much with everything you are saying! I have worked in CS or CS adjacent roles for 24 years and have never had someone “trauma dump” on me when I say “how are you?” Do some people give you a bit more info than you really wanted? Sure, but imo that is just part of the job.

I think it depends on what customer service you do and where you live. For instance when I moved to the PNW forever ago, I was surprised at how much people tell you of there trauma on a first meeting. Also if you work reception for a government office people will trauma dump when asked how they are doing. It maybe part of the job but it still a lot in an 8 hour day. I still say hello because I was raised right but I don't ask people how they are doing. That's tmi for me.

@@meshinda you might be right. In the UK “how are you” is generally considered as a polite form of hello rather than as an actual question. And the only acceptable answer is “good thank you, and you?”. Occasionally someone might actually tell you how they are but that is very rare.

LOVED all this conversation! We have truly come to a point where we do not know how to talk to each other and have common courtesy. Totally agree that saying hi is a bare minimum. People now take valid criticism/arguments directed at appropriate topics and just throw them everywhere. And, in doing so, invalidate those actual valid points all together. I hope that makes sense. Looking forward to your next yap! 😊❤

I think the least we owe each other is kindness and decency. It costs nothing to be kind. 😞 A “hello” or a small smile is not difficult or painful. Especially if you’re public facing. I am sorry, that’s just part of the job. It’s nothing to do with respect or emotional labor. Everyone has bad days and when I notice a cashier or an employee not smiling or being engaging, I just ignore it. It happens! But overall, I do think we all owe each other courtesy. Lining up politely, letting people off the elevator, using a turn signal, and just holding the door or saying hello. 🙁

When I'm a customer, if a cashier doesn't say any sort of greeting (mostly as an acknowledgement/"I'm ready to deal with you now"), I would assume they're having a bad day and try to be especially nice/understanding. (I used to work with customers in a bookstore and I know how stressful it can be)

I am one of the people who doesn't like saying hello... But I still say it anyways... Especially in a customer service setting. Sometimes when I am walking and see someone walking towards me (especially if they are older, sorry...) I will chant in my head 'please don't say hello please don't say hello I do not want to say hello my face is set and I do not want to force it into a fake smile for a stranger right now'. And then they say hello. And I say hello back. Even when I am huffing and puffing or on the verge or tears or having a full on rant in my head about how I shouldn't have to force myself to say hi to someone just to make them feel better when the thing that would make me feel better is not having to be fake. So like... I can acknowledge my thoughts are horrid and evil and backwards and negative and force myself to be nice anyways... BUT also when I was working in customer service, if I didn't say hello with a bright enough tone, or slap on a giant smile, or start asking people about their day, I would get complaints about my attitude and how I need to be more more friendly or how I'd be prettier if I smiled. And that shit, that isn't okay. That is what made my mindset of 'I don't owe you anything' in the first place.

Sitting in a doctor's waiting room feeling rotten and having to listen to Peppa Pig full volume from some kid's iPad, and if you try to say something you get abused. I swear it used to be an unspoken rule that if you didn't have earbuds then you didn't listen to music in public, what changed? And don't get me started on comment sections... It's like all these algorithms have trained people with showing them curated content that when they encounter something that doesn't suit them perfectly, they get offended.

The caveat thing really annoys me because I swear 90% of the time they KNOW what you mean but have to one up you for some reason. A few days ago I went to a queer group I'm been in for almost 20 years. I mentioned "pregnant folks" instead of "pregnant women" to be inclusive, especially because I'm nonbinary and feel weird about being called a woman medically. Then someone popped up "Actually, folks implies they're human, and not all people with periods identify as human. And animals have periods too so it's speciest for you to ignore that and imply it's a human-only problem". Like... I'm all for supporting otherkin, and other adjacent identies, but be for fucking real right now!!! I'm not going to sit there and list off every non-human identity or every species on earth that menstrates when I'm just trying to get to the main point that the medical system is fucked???

I'm always astounded by the level of entitlement I see online. I have so far refused to get TikTok (as I already have Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Reddit and I can't fully quit any of them but I hate how much time they sap) but I still see those demanding comments everywhere. It's mental to me how often I see a creator list their clothing or makeup etc. in the description box of their post, only to see that every other comment is demanding the answers that were already given if they'd bothered to read. I feel like people just expect everything to be done for them instead of being able to be self-sufficient, and I feel like the alternative doesn't even occur to them.

When you said "What do want?" I immediately picture the meme with Tyrese-What more do you want from me!-in my head. 🤣 I've noticed the same thing. I make the effort to say hi even though I'm anxious and awkward in social settings, but the majority who aren't don't make the effort.I wouldn't even say it's the younger or the older generation-it's both. Both want respect, but don't give it in return. Jobs with direct customer contact is hard, that is why I'm always nice because I couldn't deal with it on a daily basis and know how disrespectful people can be. I recently tipped someone-I always do-and to be honest, it wasn't deserved, but it is automatic for me because I know it's hard work. The person said I should have gone to a professional or bleached my hair. Huh, that is why I booked an appointment at the salon. Being nice really doesn't seem to be valued these days.

People aren't just being trained anymore, for work, for class, for life. There's a difference between saying hello/smile for a customer facing job and then like having to be conversational to customers, or acting as their friends. It reminds me for some reason of "oh we can't even say merry christmas anymore" conversation in retail spaces... But like the opposite reasons, haha. It's just wild how things have devolved in the last five years. But yeah, agree with you as an elder millennial, so I guess I'm a boomer to lol. It's not just tiktok btw, everyone is so negative everywhere and "lazy" as you said. Or I guess, entitled? OH, edited to add. I'm wondering if the people who are saying "they don't owe you anything" actually worked a customer service job. Cause there's a big difference of 'yeah it sucks to have to be perky all day but i do it cause i need the money' understanding and people just wanting to be allies for shit they truly don't understand.

I work in a cafe and say hi to everyone but i have been the receiving end of very entitled/rude customers who wont even look my direction when they enter, maybe its bc im black and i work in a very wonder bread neighborhood (i live in LA too). I will say this, employee moral is completely dictated by the higher ups and people have a very skewed view on how customer service is "supposed to act" as if we're robots or something. We're living in a time where we work more for less, barely making ends meet, the internet for better and worse, mental health being taken seriously, kids are basically raising themselves at this point, and people are stuck at a job bc the job market is a scam. With all that being said, being nice is free and greeting someone doesnt have to be earned (?). Ive been to coffee shops and wasnt greeted or was just ignored and it doesnt feel good so I make sure to always greet my customers even when im upset. (I also have been trauma dumped on to the point that the customer was crying and trying to convert me back to the slums of Christianity 😭)

I think people don't use common courtesy in general, which is the 1st problem. Retail jobs are hard and thankless. HOWEVER, you are getting PAID TO DO THE JOB, and it might require you to smile, be nice, or ask if they want to apply for a credit card. If you don't want to, then get a job where you don't have to. It's not that big of a deal. As a person who has worked most of their life in retail from front line to management if you are nice to people... they are typically nice back. I'm just saying. 🙃

YES!!! I seen that TikTok and was screaming like WTF is wrong with people, I don’t like people either but we are all stuck on this rock together might as well try to be courteous. Don’t even get me started on the over offended BS people blow up with when you say you like/dislike something. Get over yourself Karen it’s ok to have different opinions it doesn’t mean I wish death on your whole family 🙄

Karen or Boomer fits this mentality. Why should anyone care about a corporation that doesn't care for them let alone some stranger they'll never see again. Be nice to others without the assumption they should be nice back.

First: Are you on r/ididnthaveeggs? Because i feel like this is a subreddit you might enjoy. I feel like all of this is a direct result of the lack of third spaces. People aren't forced to just interact with complete strangers on the day-to-day anymore, and they don't know how anymore. You order on an app and don't interact with a person, there's no public spaces where you might just have to casually encounter people, the art of small talk is dying. It makes me wonder if people are now confusing regular responses to How Are You as trauma dumping because someone said "it's going", "still here", and the like instead of just understanding that this is how the social interaction goes. Also whenever someone asks what do we owe each other i want to yell at them to go watch The Good Place. Because the answer is right there. 😂

I’m gen-z lol but I agree that you should say hello to people in customer facing jobs. To be honest, I think right now everyone is just miserable as shit because of the state of the world so they’re just meaner and overall not in the mood to “pretend” right now if that makes sense. Also Covid really changed peoples social skills in my opinion.

Emotional labour? Ma'am that's customer service! We really need to take the mics away from the podcast bros and the therapy-speak from the "culture war" discourse! Until we do, we will know no peace and achieve no progress as a society. 😂 Edit: I expected "you guys are being ableist", I didnt expect "you guys are being classist". Lmao. The absurdity of cyclical online discourse stays undefeated! 😭

I question if I've crossed over into Boomer status alllll the time. Like what do you mean it's costing you emotional labor to say hello to someone who said hello to you first??? Nobody expects a full conversation from exchanging pleasantries, so just say hello!

I will never understand why people pick customer service jobs but then act like your inconveniencing them by asking them to do their job and help you 😭
