371. Using Mirrors to Ease Customer Tension 😡

Ever worked in customer service and dealt with an angry customers? Well there's a simple way to reduce those interaction: put a mirror behind you.

Studies have shown that people are less likely to get angry when they can see themselves and how they’re acting .

This phenomenon is known as the "mirror effect," which makes people more self-aware and conscious of their behaviour, therefore reducing aggressive behaviour.

It really works, and you’d be surprised how many department stores already implement this strategy!

372. Dodging Mini Bar Fees 🏨

Staying at a hotel with a mini bar? Be cautious! Some hotel mini bars now have sensors that charge you as soon as you move an item.

These sensors work by detecting the weight and position of each item, and even a slight disturbance can trigger a charge.

To avoid paying for snacks or drinks you didn’t consume, always check your bill before you leave. It could save you from unnecessary charges and a lot of frustration.

Want your sponges to last longer? Pop them in the microwave for 2 minutes after you use them.

This simple trick kills 99% of bacteria!

Studies have shown that two minutes is the ideal time to eliminate the majority of bacteria, keeping your sponges fresh and your kitchen more hygienic.

Just make sure the sponges are damp and free of metal before you microwave them.
