Not always right

I'm sure you've all worked retail, and I'm sure you've all come up with situations like this before. I have to assume a number of those are fake, but they're still an excellent read :)

[enkei2k]

haha so true. i've been looking at that site while at work. i work in customer service myself so i can totally relate.

[shmiddy]

lmao good read +1

the air conditioning one was by far the best lol

[Farzam]

Pretty f'n cool

Kinda reminds me of grouphug.us

[CrazyTrance]

Me: “Hi, welcome to [restaurant], what can I get get you?”

Customer: “Yeah, which of these sandwiches are five dollars?”

Me: “Just these eight behind me.”

(I point to a very large sign that has a giant “5″ on it and a list of our five dollar footlong subs.)

Customer: “Oh, okay…”

(She gives me the order of three subs and I make them.)

Me: “Okay, that’ll be $20.47.”

Customer: “What?! Why the h*** are they that expensive? You said that they were five dollars!!”

(By this time all the yelling she’s doing has turned her face blood red: this is important for later in the story.)

Me: “Well yes, those eight over there. All three of the ones you ordered are not.”

Customer: “That’s not true! I got them off the board you told me about!”

(She points at the board NEXT to the one I talked about which lists our six inch subs.)

Me: “No, ma’am, that’s our six inch board. The one next to it with the GIANT FIVE on it are the five dollar subs.”

Customer: “Well, aren’t you a f***ing carnival weasel! You said those were five dollars!”

Me: “I’m sorry for the misunderstanding–wait, did you just call me a carnival weasel?”

Customer: “YOU HEARD ME, CAAARNIVAAL WEEASELLLL!”

Me: “Alright. Well, ma’am, I’m getting a line here so would you just like me to remake your sandwiches so we can move?”

Customer: “F*** YOU!”

(She suddenly gets a massive nose bleed which gets all over the counter and the floor. As she storms out cursing and bleeding, the customers applaud and even help me clean it up before ordering. )

Coworker: “She called you a carnival weasel!”

Me: “Yeeeaah. Well, have fun with that…”

(I still see that lady every now and then come up to the door, see me, turn around and leave.)

[iHeartTheTouge]

wow, i just spent over an hour reading everything. love it, good find.

[illvialuver]

yeah some people are rude. and you just have to treat them the same and not let it ruin your day.

[status:one]

Some of these things remind me of my first job.

[Yuri]

(I work at a popular fast food restaurant. Drive-through customers should be aware that we can hear every word they say.)

Coworker: “Hi, welcome to ***. How can I help you?”

Customer: “I just need a minute to decide.”

Coworker: “No problem, just let me know when you are ready.”

(The customer talks to his passengers, while we listen…)

Customer, to his passengers: “I should ask for something dumb on my ice cream, just to see what they say. How about pickles? They would probably just ignore me. Oh, I know… tomatoes!”

Customer, to my coworker: “Okay, I’m ready.”

Coworker: “Alright, go ahead…”

Customer: “I’d like an ice cream sundae with tomatoes on it, please.”

Coworker: “I’m sorry, due to the recent recall in the States, we aren’t serving tomatoes right now. Can I offer you a sundae with pickles instead?”

Customer: *drives off without ordering anything*


haha, when I worked drivethru, I could have gotten you a Sundae with tomatoes or pickles... the way the ordering system was set up, you could order almost anything. In fact to get a side of pickles, you would enter water+pickle.

[hunter8411]

LMAO, why I may never have children. This is pretty damn funny. Good find.

************************************************** ******

"(I’m working in an electronics retail store, and see a man in his late 40’s with a kid no older then 10.)

Me: “Welcome sir, did you get…”

(I look in his cart and see that it’s mostly filled with identical Spongebob DVDs.)

Me: “… everything?”

Man: “I guess so.”

Boy: “MORE SPONGEBOB! SPONGEBOB! SPONGEBOB!”

Man: “Alright, let’s go get some more.”

(About 5 minutes later he comes back, with more Spongebob DVDs… the same ones, to be exact.)

Man: “Alright, I think this is enough.”

(I ring him up, and the total comes to about $550.00 USD.)

Me: *whispering* “Uhh, sir… these are mostly the same thing.”

Man: “Oh, don’t worry about it. I hate my life anyway.”

god i used to work customer service... simular shit happened where people misunderstand, then they go bitch to the higher ups... eventually i got writen up a few times because customers got angry and they fired me!!! thats why i dont have a job right now..

fucking bosses dont really understand that shit either, our main customers are elderly people, they will bitch at everything. You might just be the unlucky person that they talk to, and eventually things wont go their way, and it becomes your fault even tho you followed rules.

man this is a good site, i thought i was the only one who went thru shit like this.... get bitched at by customers lol.. But what was fawked up at my old job was the supervisor would get on my ass for lettin teh customers get mad.. they would say "you handled this wrong" yadda yadda... I wish they could see this site.

[HyperTek]

one i used to get alot is people forget that they aggreed to automatic renewel for their newspaper subscriptions, and maybe 6 months down the road we will take a payment from their bank account.. and then they will call us up "why did you take a payment? you overdrafted my account."

I would look into when they aggreed to it and tell them the date and that they said yes do it. Shit aint my fault you dont take care of your balances. They would always try to make us refund that payment as well as pay for their over draft fee.

[StaticX27]

I work the tech counter at best buy. You wouldn't believe some of the customers we get.

However, I never realized how much Best Buy sucks until I actually had to become a customer. So yesterday I call in to the partsearch department to check on the status of my order. They apparently cancelled my order on a laptop screen because they sent me an e-mail to an address that doesn't even exist anymore, stating that the price of my product had gone up over $500. Now I'm sitting here going wtf... So I talk, and bitch and moan and become an irate customer (Hell, I'm probably going to end up on that site now ><). Basically they said "Here's our policy, says here we can do that. Tough shit." Here's the policy:
While Best Buy Partsearch strives to provide an error-free Site, we cannot guarantee that all content is 100% accurate and/or complete, including price, product information, and product specifications. As such, Best Buy Partsearch reserves the right to correct price errors as they are discovered, revoke any stated offer and to otherwise correct any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions. This right extends to orders that have already been submitted by a Customer and accepted by Best Buy Partsearch .

Is it just me or does that whole paragraph seem just a little unethical? Hell if I'm referring my customers to them to order parts, MFG direct baby!

(The zoo sells these SpongeBob ice creams with gumball eyes. I overhear this mother telling her young son eating one outside one of the restaurants…)
Mom: “Oh look honey, when you licked his balls you got stuff all over your face!”

Customer: “What time is tax assistance here?”

Me: “They are here on Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 12 to 2 o’clock.”

Customer: “Okay, so they’re here Tuesday through Thursday, from 12 to 2 o’clock?”

Me: “No sir, only on Tuesday and Thursday.”

Customer: “Okay, Tuesday and Thursday, all day long?”

Me: “No sir, only from noon until 2.”

Customer: “So, you’re telling me that they are here from noon to 2?”

Me: ”Yes.”

Customer: “And that’s on Mondays and Tuesdays?”

Me: “No, sir… ”

(Before I can say anything further, the person behind him explodes…)

Another customer: “It’s here on Tuesday and Thursday from 12 to 2! I don’t even know what the @#$% you are asking about, but I’ve figured out what time it happens! What the @#$% is wrong with you?!”

Customer: *slinks away*
