[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, this may be me, but I am a foreigner. No autism here.
I notice details others seem to miss. If a customer arrives upset, I notice it. I can also tell you which items a customer might leave behind like sunglasses on the corner of their table.
My coworkers would not care, because the customer hasn't even left yet. But then act so surprised when the item if left behind. I tried to tell them meanwhile to make sure this wouldn't happen. Falls flat every time.
Maybe this is not what you are talking about, but this is my problem. The other day I put two separate occurrences together. Nobody else knew they even happened even though they were there.
I need to care less or be involved less. Drives me crazy when they don't notice.[/quote]

Thanks for these examples, it's helpful.

So here's my question. When you see the customer is upset, what is it that you want from your coworkers? Are you just making an observation? Are you trying to prompt them to be nicer to the customer?

With the sunglasses I get you see they put them down and might forget them. I am trying to understand the reason you are telling your coworkers. I understand why you notice it and I also understand why they don't care because the customer hasn't left yet. If I were you I would just gently say to customer " oh don't forget your sunglasses! " or try to put their attention on the glasses by saying they are pretty or something. That's the disconnect for me. Are you telling your coworkers so they can remind the customer not to forget them? But why not tell the customer yourself as it's more direct? [/quote]
