Service workers are paid to serve. Perhaps this is not a good job match for you. Service workers are often asked to wear uniforms when they do their job because they are no longer individuals when they choose this occupation, but part of the business machinery to deal with the more colorful and individualistic customer. Take some career planning tests to see what line of work fits your own personality better and re-train for the future. Even reading that old classic "What Color is My Parachute" can give you insights into occupation areas that will suit you better. But if you choose to deal with the public, you have to put on your visible or virtual public service uniform and keep smiling.

I'm 70 and time was, service people were actually all here in SB.It was a surprise to me when first learning I was talking to someone across the country or in the mid-west. Now, when I ask where they are we often get into an interesting dialog about weather, cost of housing, etc. Don't be offended if folks ask where you are or about your accent, it's not meant to be unkind. Sounds like you have a self-image problem.

Think of this not as if you don't exist, but as something to have fun with. "Why, yes, sir, it is hot here right now. Thank you, come again." [The latter being what Apu says on the Simpsons.] If they really start to irritate you, you could start making references to the Kama Sutra. I have a friend who decided to have fun with one of those Nigerian scammers. He told the guy he was interested, and led the scammer on for quite a long time. It was really funny.
