Being able to select dialogue from a few options, instead of having to actually be skilled socially.
Of all the stuff I've seen in the comments, this is actually feasible today.
You mean by pausing before you speak?
People who take time to formulate a sentence before speaking are actually infuriating on some level. Like I've got this friend, son of a diplomat, NEVER puts his foot in his mouth. Can you imagine trying to have a fast argument with someone who considers everything they say!
I can say from experience that it is discomfiting, and maddening if you're actually passionate about the topic.
I never think before I speak. For you, I would make an exception.
ROFL you sound like a fellow retail worker, or at least someone with experience toying with shit customers
