It feels both demoralizing and insane to have the thought "Why can't I just let strangers be mean to me and not take it personally?" multiple times a week.
Like, I'm a rep for a company sure, but I'm not solely responsible for company policies, I'm trying to help
It makes me really sympathetic when I'm dealing with a company with terrible customer service (like, say, Xfinity). The person I'm speaking to is not at fault, and I realize they're probably in the same position I am -- trapped in a situation they can't really change
