Veteran Nollywood actress Stella Damasus has urged business owners to stop transferring aggression or frustrations onto their customers.
Damasus posted a video on her official Instagram page @stelladamasus on Wednesday to address the issue, urging business owners to be nicer when treating their customers.
She began, “I have a message; however, I would like your permission to deliver this message in pidgin English because that’s how I see it and how I feel it.”
Damasus, however, pleaded with people to refrain from taking out their frustrations about their work on innocent customers because they could never know what each person was going through.
“I beg una, if you dey do work wey you no like, no take your frustration on top customer or client. No be their fault, no be dem cause am.
“I fit sympathise with you say you no like wetin you dey do you dey do am because say you need money, you need to feed your family.
“No problem, I understand but no use they vex on top pesin wey wan spend money for your establishment. No use that vex take spoil the mood of that person, you no know wetin dem dey go through,” she pleaded.
The actress also encouraged people to be nice because they could never know who could potentially help them in the future.
She said, “E go pay make you dey nice for the work wey you dey do, do am from your heart because na that one dey give you small, small help wey you dey find. You never know, any of these customers or clients fit see you and employ you.”
“Na why I get staff wey don work with me for 10 years and I see how dem dey diligent, I like as dem dey treat customers. Then I tell them come and work for me I will pay it better. You never know where help go come from. No take am out on pesin wey no cause am, abeg.” she noted.
