I don't know about anyone else but I hate it when employees are overly polite, it is so damn annoying. What happened to people just behaving in a normal professional way all this fake crap is not needed. Examples;
Went to my bank yesterday and first thing that happens when I walk in the door is I am greeted by the greeter; "Hello, thank you for choosing Wells Fargo, how may we help you today"? Just making a deposit. "Oh, ok well just step over to the line here and someone will be able to assist you in a moment". Yea, no shit, only been here a few hundred times, wouldnt have been able to point out the line or the teller windows on my own.
Oh and it does not stop there, why cant tellers or people running registers just say "Next" instead of "Id be happy to help the next guest!"...WTF, Im in a fucking bank! Just say NEXT!!
Or what about when you call up a place to ask a question or place an order, why cant they just say "Thank you for calling blah blah, how can I help you"?. When I call up Olive Garden to place a take out order of pasta do they really need to answer; "Thank you for calling the Olive Garden, how may I provide you with excellent service this evening"?...ugh, you could start by being less annoying!
But, one of the worst has got to be GameStop, they push that buying/selling of used games bull shit so hard. When you call them up you get something along the lines of: "Thank you for calling gamestop where we buy and sell all your used games, this is blah how may I help you today"? Poor guy is out of breath by the time Im ready to ask him questions and thats one of the shorter lines, I cant remember all the longer ones.
I dont know, maybe there are people out there who like being treated like this, but I think its bull shit. All you need to say is "Hello, good bye, how can I help you" ect. Just the easy stuff, all this fake stuff is irritating and In my opinion it doesnt make a business look good, it makes them look like they are trying too hard.
Cliffs:
Businesses try to hard to be polite.
