Customer service? I work at a fast food restaurant and I seriously lack customer service. I sometimes do a cashier but I get awkward with almost every customer, and they become awkward with me too. It's really stressful and embarrassing. Many customers also have a little hard time hearing what I'm saying, because my voice quality is what's not easy to hear. I feel like I'm an amateur staff at this restaurant. What's worse is that English is my second language. I usually pronounce some words weirdly, or mix up sentences. Sometimes I can't think right away what would be appropriate/professional things to say to a customer. My question is, how can you transform from an amateur to a professional?

Does Verizon have the worst customer service or what? I just switched all my cable, internet and phone to Verizon FIOS. The technology is great, but I've had nothing but headaches from their customer service. They screwed up switching my phone number, so I have a temporary phone number for 3 weeks until they can straighten it out. I've had to call the customer service line for other issues and have had extremely long wait times, got transfered to other reps all over the place, and just plain attitudes from them. Anyone else have bad service from Verizon? I used to think AT&T had the worst customer service but now Verizon has taken the number one spot!
