Follow up to my previous post a while back, are there any things that I can do to make your job easier?

For example, I work at a library and it helps me when patrons have their library cards ready when they come up to the circulation desk, especially if they have a large stack of books.

    If you get called by telemarketers, political people, charities, etc. just hang up on them. Almost all of them require a minimum of 3 “nos” before they can end the call and some of the shittier ones aren’t even allowed to end the call. Being polite and listening to them wastes both your time and ruins their metrics

      Good to know. Think I will just say “Sorry, no” and immediately hang up. Most are computers now anyway so they just get a hangup.
