I love my job, I love the company I work in, but today I got upset because my manager told me to mind my attitude since I’m at the front with customers.
Today the queue was long and there was many people behind him, and while taking his latte order, I asked him what else would you like today? He told me I could use ur phone number too and he handed me a note and paper, I passed it back to him and said, I’m sorry sir there’s many in line waiting please step aside and wait for your order. There was some boos from the customers behind him and some even said we dont mind just give him the number. The manager stepped in and told him sorry for her (my) attitude and everything went as a regular day.
She told me at the back to not do that again, and if someone ask my number I should just say “I’m sorry I have a boyfriend or please come again if u want to see me”.
I find it abit disrespectful towards me but i dont know whats the standard procedure for this. Was I really wrong?
Edit: Thank you for your responses everyone, I really appreciate everyone from this sub for your help and advice! I should have given my cafe business card instead, but it was hard to think of any proper response when I had to think it up on the spot, but hopefully it was in a professional way that didn’t hurt anyone’s feeling.
I didn’t expect so much help and support and I’m sorry I couldn’t read all the comments so please don’t mind if I can’t respond to all of you. So sorry
