A colleague of mine used to work quite high up in UK Government, achieved all she wanted to, and came to our team. Absolute golden woman, genuinely lovely. She was from Glasgow originally but spent most of her time in London, poor soul.
When she was in "professional mode" - she had a voice that I could fall in love with. A beautifully smooth tone and a lovely rhythm, confident but gentle, in a nice heart of England accent.
As soon as she came out of a meeting or put the phone down though, she threw the voice out of the window and it was "fuck off you pure cunt" or "get tae fuck you fuckin roaster" or "no mate you can pure fuck all of the way off" in the thickest, harshest of Glaswegian tones.
Absolute gem. No ego, you knew where you stood, and it was highly entertaining.

I don't use a customer service voice, but my ex, holy shit did she have a customer service voice that she did automatically. I hated it. High pitched, overly friendly, clearly lying about who she was.
Drove me nuts. Shed use it for meeting people the first time too, and the longer she used it the friendlier they became, which reinforced it and ugh.

i will never comprehend how people find it appealing, it just feels like i'm being treated like an unpredictable dog

It's been too long, I don't know if I remember my voice any other way.

That movie goes off the rails in the best possible way lmao

my spouse uses it on me whenever they want something ‘cause I’m a people-pleaser and that voice melts my heart into doing whatever favor they’re asking.

I honestly wish this was still the case. There doesn't seem to be as much training in customer service anymore. Half of the things I get told over the phone these days were a fire-able offence when I worked support.

Ok, this is one case where the reaction at the end actually improves it significantly!
I can vividly picture Dekubunny saying exactly that as they stare at their phone 😂
I'm not sure someone named "dekubunny" would be reacting like that
