What to do when a weird person comes into your store?

Question

i just started working at a ice cream store and both the owner and my friend who works there told me that there's a weird woman that likes to go into the store. she was just realeased from prison, and she has a bad temper (she was put in there for saying threats). what should i do when anuy weird people come into the store??

Answer 1

Treat them just like you would like to be treated. Weird people have feelings too, and there's never any sense in being rude.

Answer 2

I used to work in a convenience store and I had the regular customers and the odd stranger come in. I made fast friends with the regular normal people and then you will always have help if you need it.

Good Luck

Answer 3

Ask your boss how they would like you to handle any of those situations.

Answer 4

Don't stand too close to the person.  Stay calm and remain close to the phone in case you have to dial 911.  This particular woman probably has mental problems so try to do your job without getting too involved with her.  In other words, be courteous but not overly friendly to the point of irritating her.
