I feel like they should provide incentive for customer connections. Like- idgaf otherwise

maybe the company should realize that the connection isnt our fault and that customers are actually just rude for no reason

We have responses from English speaking countries which tend to be culturally similar to each other in general: I want to see responses from non-English speaking countries about this 😅

Canada here and yes a ton of pressure. And no matter what we try we are still stuck in a low range

Australia and definitely not at the store I’m at. It’s seen as more or less weird if you do. I’m in Melbourne and I don’t think people are very chatty here at all or used to that.
