Hey, it’s Kari Blossum, and I’ve got something on my mind. You ever notice how some customer service folks forget two little words: thank you? I mean, come on, it’s not that hard! I’m out here spending my hard-earned money at your coffee shop, your store, your restaurant—where’s the gratitude? It’s like they forget who’s keeping the lights on. Spoiler alert: it’s us, the customers!Look, I get it—working in customer service isn’t always a walk in the park. You deal with grumpy people, long shifts, and probably some wild Karen moments. But here’s the thing: a simple “thank you” goes such a long way. It’s like a warm hug in word form! It makes me feel appreciated, like my business matters. And trust me, when I feel valued, I’m coming back, tipping better, and maybe even leaving a glowing review.But when I hand over my cash or card and get nothing—not even a “have a nice day”—it stings. It’s like, what am I, invisible? I’m not asking for a parade, just a little acknowledgment that I’m the reason you’ve got a paycheck. We’re in this together, right? I pay, you serve, we all thrive. So why skip the part where you show some love?Next time you’re behind the counter, answering phones, or helping someone out, don’t forget those two magic words. Say “thank you,” and watch how it lights up the moment. It’s not just polite—it’s a vibe! Let’s make customer service feel like a partnership, not a transaction. Who’s with me? : a little gratitude changes everything! Thanks for listening, loves—see you next time!
