Tall Post about DT Voice (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by Spiritual_Resource36
I’m at a pretty small DT store but without fail, every time I’m put on DTO, a customer ends up commenting on my voice and says things like “Aw you sound really sweet” or “you have such a nice podcast voice, you should go on the radio!” or “do you happen to have an AMSR channel I can listen to?” I’m a dude so it’s not like the customers are being flirty, I just don’t really know what to say in response back besides a quick thank you. While I do appreciate the compliments(?), it does make me feel a bit awkward and self-conscious that people comment on my voice. Does this happen to anyone else 💀 and how do you guys deal with it?

The only good thing that comes out of all this is that the customers always feel very generous and we get more tips than normal when I’m on DT (or so my shifts tell me).

i get this a lot ( i’m a girl btw ). i just tell them a quick thank you and i’m only doing my best to be clear and concise with our guests.

I get it as well. I kinda like it because I'm self conscious of my voice. I think my head voice sounds very different from my actual voice and I have a weird disconnect with it.

I used to get this back when I used my feminine customer service voice to get more tips🤣 Act really surprised and happy that they would say such a thing and give your most genuine sounding thank you. You could also sprinkle in that you sound so happy because you love your job…bring that weekly tip average up, lol!

I got that all the time but I never told people it's bc im a homosexual man and I live in a very conservative party of LA county lol

I used to get this ALL the time. It was flattering, honestly. I’d go home and tell my fiancé, “I need to start a podcast I guess!” I loved DTO so much. I think I just love talking tbh.
