Cerberus · 09-09-2009, 05:03 PM

I'm employed and deal with customers often.

Just Lurking · 09-09-2009, 05:10 PM

I'm employed part time and deal with the public, but it's all through email. I don't have to deal with anyone face to face.

I occasionally fill in at my stepmom's lottery booth and deal with an onslaught of customers there. I like it -- usually I'm OK handling people if it's for work and the 'social contact' stays at a professional level.

Just putting it out there, the awesome group that doesn't discuss anything

Sheri · 09-09-2009, 06:02 PM

Yes, but I don't deal with any "customers." I deal with all kinds of folks who call and email me and hound me occasionally and ask dumb questions or are just plain dumb.

Aurora · 09-09-2009, 07:24 PM

Unemployed, if I wasnt pregnant and being forced to do something full time and my partner didnt work, I would be looking.. but I think I have a right to lay on the couch right now. Might not later. But give me my last 6 months of pure laziness pahleez!
