I Hate When People Call My Job and say "Your Company..."

..."I spend a lot of money with your company.."

and I interrupted, sympathizing:

..."uh, ma'am, if this were MY company, then I need to have a meeting with my accountants because clearly my bank account is not reflecting that."

(I was given a verbal warning for that, after that call was reviewed, despite supervisor holding back laughter)

Yeah... when I put my uniform on... it is now my company. I take responsibility because I’m the face... and it’s my paycheck on the line. I get what you’re saying, and it’s hard to bite your tongue sometimes, but I’ve learned to not take it personally.

@Spokeskitties75
90% of the time I don't. I'm just doing a job. and I really don't mind - I understand. been in their shoes. but there's that 5% of 10% of the time where you're pushed to your limit and take up for yourself.
