Am I

Your friend or

Your enemy

Most days feels like someone is always mad and taking it out on me.

You want respect than you have to earn it but, in customer service, you have to give it regardless if they deserve it.

For I am no bigger and smaller than you on the scale of mankind, for we are all working towards something at the end of the day.

So let me treat you how I want to be treated and when you throw your nastiness at me I will ignore it and move on to the customer is always right.

For there is not a moment when I can show you that you are wrong without getting myself in trouble.

So will I be your kind hard-working person or will I be the enemy that you are tiring so hard to destroy?

Will you see it as an accomplishment when you are done with me or will you regret how nasty you were?

Will you cry or feel defeated about the matter when you are at home in a comfortable chair enjoying the rest of your night with your feet up and not a care in the world.

Maybe you will but, I know the minute you walk out that door I am not even a thought you care to think about and in the end, I don’t matter.

So if I am an enemy you won’t remember but, if I am kind to you and help you out that’s when you remember me.
