I live in a small village in the middle of Denmark. I am 47 years old, a wife, a mother and a grandmother. My education is youth pedagogue, but I don't work anymore because I am chronically ill. My faitful shadow is my Jack Russel terrier, Simba. He's one crazy poppy, he can always make me smile.I'm very creative, I do all sorts of crafts. And I consider my self to be a free spirit 🌻

You can't return this TV because it has a cracked screen, if I can see the boot print. Dude threw a punch at me over the counter in front of his wife and infant daughter.

I was in a shop that just did (amazing) toasted sandwiches and 2 guys asked for a cheese toastie without the bread. The poor girl behind the counter explained over and over what a toastie was, but these 2 guys insisted. Hope they enjoyed their pile of melted cheese.

Dumbest thing, or customer, I had to explain is that there is no such thing as "lo cal" or lo calorie honey. It's f*****g "local" for cryin out loud. F*CK.

Shelve of milk bone bare, offering a clear view of a completely empty cooler. "Are you out of milk?" I have no idea how I kept my job that day with all the smart a*s responses I gave. Also, a woman cursed me out on the phone because we didn't have a product. I explain that we have not carried that product in over a year. She exclames she has one in her fridge she bought last week and asked if I was calling he a liar. "No mama, but I am the dairy lead and that product when we got it came in with a three week shelf life and we haven't received any for over a year so if you bought it last week I would recommend you bring it back for a refund cause it is far out of date.".

I've had to explain to customers that their coupon has to actually be for the product they're buying. Yes, a $3 coupon for a skin care product is a good coupon, however I cannot apply it to your cereal purchase.

The elevator had a sign that read 'out of order', Customer asked if it was out of order on all of the floors.Flatulatio reply
Not retail, but general tech support. Turning the monitor on and off doesn't actually turn the whole pc on and off. The amount of times I've gotten a call about a computer not working and all that was "wrong" was that it wasn't turned on, is staggering. I guess this would make more sense these days, but this was over a decade ago and desktop computers were everywhere.Tedsallis reply

Retail banking: Had to explain to a costumer why the balance that was printed on his receipt from Friday afternoon after a deposit wasn’t the same the next morning after he bought a pair of jeans. .Used_Soft_9177 reply
I took a phone call and answered all the questions that she scrolled by on our google profile. She said, “I will call back later and see if you’re busy. What’s your phone number”. I replied, “the exact same number you dialed that lead to the conversation we are having now”.

A coupon for a free gift with purchase, mailed out in April, said “now - May 15th”. Customer came in June looking for his free gift and was pissed we didn’t have it anymore. He kept saying “but it says now!”.jennyrob669 reply
The amount of times I had to explain that any Euros can be spent the same in any country that accepts Euros and there aren't separate or specific notes for France, Germany, Greece, Spain, Austria etc etc it's scary.

Back when I was in college I worked at a McDonald's I spent tne better part of 30 minutes explaining to a person that a cheeseburger with no cheese was in fact just called a hamburger.

Back when printers at home were rare I had a woman come into my store asking for t-shirt transfer paper. I explained to her multiple times how to use them. Print on the paper then pin to shirt then iron. 30 minutes later she came back with the printer and paper wanting a refund because the shirt got stuck in the printer.

Customer: What's the difference between the 17-inch monitor and the 19-inch monitor? Me: Two inches and 40 dollars. Customer: But what's the difference? Me: This one is bigger by two inches, measured diagonally, and more expensive by 40 dollars. Customer: No, but what's the *difference?!* This went on for several minutes. He left without making a purchase.anon reply
If you enter your PIN in wrong 5 times for an EBT card, it will lock up and you'll have to call the number on the back to get it unlocked. This isn't something the cashier does, or the store, it's the cards way of protecting itself I guess. The amount of people who would scream at me, insult my intelligence, swear at me and call me names, all because they locked their card up, was insane. And there wasn't anything I could do but void the order or let them pay with another form of payment. Sometimes I warned them after 2 or 3 tries, but that seemed to make them angrier when it happened. F**k the public, man. People are so rude and hateful now days. .

I actually have one for this. Worked in car parking customer service for a few years. Had to explain to a lady why she was being charged for an hour and a half, instead of letting her out for free under the "half an hour free" rate ... When her vehicle had been in the car park. Parked. For an hour and a half. Her reasoning ? "I only intended to stay 20 minutes" "My system shows me you were here for an hour and a half" "Yes, but I only intended to be here for 20 minutes" "But.....you were ACTUALLY here for an hour and a half..." Ended up having to explain over 5 minutes how rates work, and how you get charged for the time in the park. Wild.Show All 31 Upvotes

Former retail worker. The store I worked at through college would do a “friends and family” event twice a year. If you had a membership or received one of the discount cards, you received 30% off your entire purchase. The receipt showed the breakdown over each item for the discount. There was one woman who would come in EVERYRTIME trying to return one item and would argue with our staff about why she wasn’t getting “what she paid for it.” We’d point to the item and the amount subtracted to it from the discount and she wasn’t having it. Insisted on asking for a manager everytime and causing a huge scene. She could never get it through her head that she didn’t pay full price for the item. It happened so often that staff would sigh when she’d come into the store because we knew she was going to pull the same stunt. It was exhausting.

Back when checks were popular, an older lady mistakenly wrote her check to Walmart when she was actually shopping in Kmart. Instead of making the correction, she wanted to argue that she was shopping in a Walmart and that Kmart had gone out of business many years ago.throwaway133245617 reply

During covid: Some high stolen items were locked up and for some reason the salesfloor manager gave me; the pharmacy technician lead keys to said merchandise. A customer refused to let me touch the merchandise because of germs even though I was the one who stocked it less than 5 minutes earlier. When I explained that I touched everything in that case already she yelled at me for being gross and walked off without the product. I went back to the pharmacy and continued with my life without the product being stolen.aliaaenor reply
