Anyone who has ever worked in the retail sector probably knows the age-old motto: “The Customer Is Always Right.” While this is a well-intentioned piece of advice for good customer service, it doesn’t mean it’s true! In fact, there's a whole website devoted to exposing the truth behind the myth, aptly named Not Always Right.
Some customers, because they are people like any others, make mistakes. They might have had a bad day, feel overly emotional and take it out on the nearest person, who just happens to be their waiter. Some people are just unrealistic in their demands, and expect the impossible. And of course, there will be a few customers out there that are just idiots, plain and simple.
The guys from Not Always Right have compiled a list of stories from times when customers got it very wrong indeed, with hilarious results! Scroll down below to check them out, and don’t forget to vote for your favorite!

I'm glad the caller got genuinely laughed at. Some people just deserve that as a response to their stupidity.
and she thinks a scammer would be happy? those jerks are always jaded
I worked as a glass collector in a bar when I was 14. A man actually bit my a*s once when i was clearing his table, then his wife had the audacity to shout at me and blame me for 'encouraging him' because I was wearing tight pants.
It's sad to say that every woman has at least one story similar to this, and most, if not all, men. Sexism just sucks. Period.
Kudos to the customer for not only realizing his error, but also understanding the OP comeback!
The amount of stereotypes someone uses is inversely proportional to their level of education.
I get annoyed at people who don't ever tell off their children. Even if they are punching your legs nonstop. (happend to me)
Useless trivia: in France we use first names instead of NATO phonetic alphabet. B as in Brigitte, D as in David...
And this is why I never use those b******t terms at coffee shops. I either say Small/Med/Large, or I specify the size in ounces if they happen to have it listed. That way The size name is always accurate.
Reminds me of my lost baby blanket that they threw out immediately upon finding :(
Wow. Sounds like the sandwich wasn't for her but she felt the need to spew out how vegetarian she was anyways...¿?
Yeah, come back later. Like, about 50 years later; maybe then you'll find all the holograms you want.
I dont get people who spend 100s of dollars and then get so f*****g cheap over some 5$! Keep the coupon and try to use it next Saturday!
Count yourself lucky. I used to deal with an elderly woman with Alzheimers who would come into reception, tell us about her appt, wait, pay, request a receipt etc.... all for in an organisation she had nothing to do with. We'd just do what she asked, make her a cup of tea while she was waiting, call her son and quietly refund him the $ she's paid. She was always very sweet, just confused.
Something similar happened to me, but the other way around. We went to a supermarket to get something twenty minutes before closing time and were told that they had already closed the registers... Not cool. It's not like we showed up one minute before closing.
