50 Creepiest Customer Encounters That Sent Chills Down Employees’ Spines
If there's one thing humans excel at, it's creating unnecessary problems for each other. And no, you don't need to look at parliament or the stock exchange to find some vile behavior—just head down the street to the places where regular people eat and shop. Chances are, you'll still see a staggering level of entitlement and a lack of common decency.
TikTok users @janemoonveil and @pey.attenti0n have tapped into this problem by asking service workers to share their absolute worst customer encounters. The responses are a mix of horror and comedy, showcasing tantrums over expired coupons and bizarre requests nobody could ever fulfill.

Everyone needs to be careful of others BUT as women especially bartenders at night...theres a lot of cautionary measures you learn to start making. Always be on guard as to why the man is asking. Where do i live? Heart of the city. (I dont) do you live alone? No you live with your dad and 4 twenty something brothers. What do you drive? You dont...your husband or dad picks you up bc you only have 1 car. When you get to your car, you glance in the backseat before getting in then you lock that door IMMEDIATELY and You keep an eye out on cars behind you on the way home. You go the gas station or well lit public area with others until they are gone if someones made a turn too many with you. I follow all these rules and had no idea until after his 3rd trip to my state that i was being watched at work, 9 months pregnant by a pilot from across the country whod fly in if he thought i was at work. The 4th time he called 1st and thats when we realized the extent and put it end to it.

Never work in small family-owned restaurants. Let the family-members do it. After all, it's theirs. Also, never ends well.

Please tell me you told the manager, other co-workers, that you called family, friends, and the police, and had someone walk you to your car!

OMG, that's a horrible thing to say just because you can't get Mac sauce. Go buy a bottle of 1000 island dressing and do it yourself you evil witch.

Theres been times ive had to verbally force construction crews the rest of the way into my restaurant bc they wanted to place/eat their orders in the foyer, parking lot or work vehicles to avoid dirtying my floors. Those are the people i do may very best to hook up, like making sure i have them by the air conditioner, getting them all to-go drinks when their finished, maybe cover a dessert for them to share. Theres a******s in the world BUT most people are unbelievably kind and expecting to eat in a crowed, dirty truck after youve been busting yo b*m in the heat all day is so selfless. I gotta broom! Bring them dirty boots in here!

Can you do that? On our bills it states that it's legal tender for all debts.

When hands free phone mics came out about 15 years ago, I always thought people in public were talking loudly to themselves were mentally ill and would avoid sitting near them. Now people talking loudly on speakerphone to whoever drive me up the wall

Was he in a facility that was somehow getting to a phone? Or was he somehow random whacko? Some of the mental hospitals here in NC don't have the best ratings or security. There's a facility in Wake Co that teenagers keep escaping from.

I worked at sams club and was stationed at the self checkout. A woman and her friend ( both black women)came through and tried to pay with her ebt card, but it kept getting declined. I tried to help her out but there isn't really anything I can do for her. I asked her if maybe her balance was less than the total. I asked if she wanted to call and check her balance so she could split the payment or remove some items. She got upset with me and left. But not before complaining to my manager ( who also happened to be a black woman) that I was racist and looked down on people who use food stamps. I was shocked. I mean I was on food stamps myself and even if i wasnt i wouldnt judge anyone for needing assistance, especially with the prices being so high. My manager didn't take it seriously thank goodness. She knew me and knew it was nonsense.

You should have called the police to file a claim for serial a***e & harassment & a*****t on a minor.if you're under 18. I would also report it to corporate if it's a chain place.

Why would they charged her for the bomb squad if she had nothing to do with the robbbing. She is the one who called the cops.

I'm so glad I don't work with the public anymore. I would've snapped by now.

Then wait to read these until the day after when they are generally pared down to about 50.
