For a lot of people, working in customer service is their first job. It doesn’t require a degree or special qualifications, so it’s perfect for those who are still in school or want to work part-time while studying in college. But it is definitely not an easy job. It is both physically and emotionally demanding and requires a lot of patience and good communication skills, but the compensation usually doesn’t reflect how much goes into it.
The two customer service jobs that a lot of people have had are in retail and food service. They both have many similarities, but Twitter user @bluehoodiebaby wanted to ask people “If you have worked in food service AND retail which is worse?” At the end, no consensus was reached as Twitter users revealed that both jobs had quite a few downsides.
