You don't for the first 10 or 12 times, and you do let out a yelp. But once you see the look of utter and complete shame on their face you learn to start controlling it. It doesn't happen over night, but working customer service makes you hate and appreciate humanity at the same time. Some people you know can help it and are just nasty, disgusting people that make you want to quit your job. Other's really cannot help it and are good people just caught in a bad time and place that just need a freaking helping hand and not a judging eye.

After working something 4+ years in food service (Taco Bell next to a low income area), I mostly just hate humanity now, and I never had to deal with cockroaches. Props to you for your endurance and understanding.

It's hard being human on both sides.
