It’s said that everyone needs to work a retail job at least once in their lives. If not for character building, then to learn what never to do as a customer. Retail is the best place to apply the golden rule: treat others the way you would want to be treated.

However, it’s also true that not all customers are the sharpest tools in the shed. We’ve scoured the internet once again and found the most exasperating customers employees had to deal with. Check out these sometimes hilarious, sometimes enraging moments and let us know in the comments if you’ve ever had to deal with similar situations, retail pandas!

Oh I can beat this. I had a lady yell at me after SHE dumped that white stuff you correct mistakes on paper with, (a liquid) in a fresh container of toner and installed it in what was a very expensive (!) office multifunction machine. When it effectively destroyed the drum and broke the machine, not under warranty for stupid unfortunately, she blamed me, (I sold it them) for not telling her that she shouldn’t do that. I frankly told her that my job didn’t come with a crystal ball. In front of the owner. My husband at the time. He fell off his rolling stool laughing. Just the record I ALWAYS backed up my employees in this situation. Stupid is as stupid does.

Customers also sometimes refuse to tell whether they eat at the restaurant or want the take-away. I was just asked "what does it matter to you" in rudest possible voice and had to inform them that it kinda matters whether they want their order on a tray or in a bag.

Too many customers would either refuse to give the address they wanted stuff delivered to, the phone number or even name of the person and one a few occasions I was told to "find them" or "call and ask" because they didn't know the exact address for the delivery. We cannot go around randomly knocking on doors during COVID especially and who in their right mind will give a stranger their address over the phone Susan??

    I've recently discovered the Egg-normous Burrito at Burger King. I'm not feeling well this morning (just a cold) and ordered one in the drive-thru. I never knew that you could get it with different combinations of meats! I thought it had to be bacon OR ham OR sausage. The poor order taker had to patiently explain to me, several times, that getting it with extra-crispy bacon also meant double-bacon but could also be bacon/sausage or bacon/ham or something similar. I was gobsmacked (and feeling very mentally slow). I was definitely not right that time (and was glad for someone to point out where I went wrong).

    The classic economic point of view is that offer creates its own demand. So if you expand your opening hours, people will show up because the shop created the offer for Holidays opening and now customers want it.

    Years ago, I saw an article saying we should all take a month off in the summer like France does. The short-sightedness was baffling. Do French hospitals and emergency services stop operating? Do French shops all shut down? Do French transit and taxi drivers stop driving? Etc. I'm a middle class person in a salaried job and it was definitely the most middle-class-salaried-person perspective I've ever seen.

    Good customer service is an extremely important part of an effectively operating business. What makes people come back and buy more is closely related to the quality of service they receive from the employees. 3 in 4 consumers will spend more with a business that provides a good customer experience.

    That’s why more and more companies are focused on improving their customer service. According to Zendesk, 80% of companies plan to increase investment in their customer experience. People expect to receive better and better customer service in the future, and those companies that want to watch their revenue increase bet on improving the customer experience.

    Just because someone has a job that they don't want to do, doesn't mean that they aren't going to do that job. The fact is that it doesn't matter what time it was or if they didn't want to do the job, either way they knew they had to. Doesn't mean we can't hate every aspect of it to a point where we don't want to. It may be shocking to hear, not not everyone loves their job.

    There's a guy wanting to impress his new love interest, so he takes her to the fanciest restaurant in town. The waiter brings menus and water, and places them on the table with tongs. The young lady is impressed. The waiter says, "We never touch anything with our hands." The couple order, and are even more impressed by how the waiter handles their dishes and drinks with the tongs. The man is thrilled he brought his date here, because she's eating it up. After the couple eats, the waiter brings them the check, passing it to the man with the tongs. The man said how impressed they were by the waiter's skill. The waiter reiterates, "We never touch anything with our hands." The man says, "Even in the bathroom?" The waiter says, " Yes, Sir." The man thinks about this for a second, then asks, "But how do you take it out?" "Well, Sir,"says the waiter, "I can't speak for anyone else, but I use these tongs."

    I did customer service for a while and we worked for two different airports, but the customers weren't supposed to know that. One time, a flight was rerouted and a lady called because she wasn't sure where her luggage was, after she was taken to the other airport by shuttle bus. I tried to help her locate it, but somehow she got extremely pissed off and started yelling at me, before ultimately hanging up. Then she called the other airport, didn't realize it was me again, so I continued checking for any information about her luggage. When I was finally able to tell her where her luggage was, she thanked me profusely and told me all about the awful customer service agent she had talked to when she called the other airport. Lol.

    Remember back when I was the night manager of a mall store. Customer was getting all riled up because I wouldn't bend policy for her, and she demanded to see the manager. I had her follow me back to the store's employee area, telling her to wait as I scooted inside. After an awkward amount of time, I reemerged and introduced myself as the manager and kindly asked her to leave the premises.

    Sometimes it’s the customer who’s rude not the employee… Years ago I was a retail store manager. The day before Halloween a customer came in giving one of my employees chit. I as politely as possible told the woman that she would need to leave the store if she continued to harass my employee. She left the store. On Halloween I dressed up but it was nothing that hid my face. This same customer came back in to the store. She walks up to me and starts telling me how rude the manager was to her the day before. I just went along with it and said it’s difficult getting good help these days. LOL.

    It’s true that customer satisfaction is the priority for big companies, even when it’s over truth and reason. rbb Communications calls this the Age of Entitlement. It’s when customers feel entitled to dictate the conditions by which their issues will be resolved. Dissatisfied customers often will share their complaints on social media, which might devolve into a PR disaster no brand or company wants to find themselves in.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    This is what makes it more and more difficult for employees to deal with people’s complaints. As demonstrated in our list, sometimes customers can seriously step over the line and voice demands that are not only ridiculous, but unreasonable as well. Therefore, a job where one has to deal with people is a true balancing act to keep the customer satisfied.

    Been there. A customer wanted "the whole doughnut" - Not the hole, not a doughnut with a hole in it - a whole doughnut. And no, offering a free doughnut hole with their doughnut didn't get them to stop because if they paid for a doughnut that had a hole punched through it the "circle around the hole would still be missing" and they're paying for a whole doughnut. It was like, Mr. that's not how dough works, but what would I, the baker, know?

    When a person approaches you, it’s hard to tell whether they’re going to give you a hard time or not. That’s why it’s always helpful to know how to recognize a difficult customer. OpenPhone distinguishes four different types of rude customers: complainers, aggressors, indecisive folks and nitpickers.

    I have been clumsy all my life. So, after breaking numerous dishes and coffee cups over the years, I finally invested in a full set of Corelle a little over 20 years ago. My non-clumsy husband is the ONLY one who has ever broken one of the Corelle dishes (not long after we got married he put a cold plate down on a still-hot burner—-Cripes). I swear by Corelle because it is solid, and I am unable to break it.

    When I was a kid, our neighbor was a salesman for a company that made dishware. He handed my dad a cup and said "Here, this is unbreakable." My dad - as I knew he would - dropped the cup to the floor, where it shattered into a hundred pieces. "Hey," snapped the neighbor. "You're not supposed to drop it!"

    Hell, even the most delicate paper thin porcelain is unbreakable if you don’t drop it. But dropping it is the prime test for claims of unbreakability.

    I would like to say this isn't me being dumb this is just something that happened. I bought an expensive saucepan. I used it. It was hot. I dropped the lid on the floor by accident and it shattered into zillions of pieces. I bought a cheap saucepan to replace it. Some time later. Same thing. Hot saucepan, drop lid on floor. No damage at all. Just goes to show that a brand name and a high price isn't always better.

I’d only do this since I know my friend has a good sense of humor and would make a regular one and just say that it’s a virgin one just to confuse the other bartenders. For reference, a Negroni has three ingredients and they are all alcohol

    Last autumn my car suddenly started making a horrendous noise in one of the wheels. I was afraid to even drive it to the repair shop, so I had it towed. Turned out a squirrel had hidden a walnut in the wheel. The repair slip said, "Inspected wheel, walnut in wheel, removed walnut. Labor: 15 minutes." Mechanics were all laughing when I picked the car up. I would have been laughing, too, except that damn squirrel ended up costing me almost $100!

    Complainers can never be fully satisfied, whether they think they’re not given a thorough explanation or had to wait too long to get a response. Customer support experts advise to engage complainers by thanking them and letting them know you understand their frustration. Also, asking questions to find out more about their problem lets them know the employee really cares.

    Aggressors, on the other hand, most of the time need some simple empathy. Although they may start hurling insults and threats, their anger most likely comes from a different angle, not the issue at hand.

    It’s very unlikely that the customer is angry at the employee personally, so it’s crucial to not take things personally. The best strategy to deal with an angry customer is to kill them with kindness. Empathize, apologize and offer them a discount or a refund for their previous bad experience.

    My husband's job requires him to wear dress pants, a shirt and tie. One day after work, he walked into the grocery store to pick up a few things. As he was looking at the different items on the self, an elderly woman walked up to him and said, "Excuse me...Where is your bathroom?" Without skipping a beat, my husband looked at her and said, "First door past my bedroom." This has happened more than once.

    I would occasionally get asked that when I was wearing my postal clerk uniform when I stopped at the grocery store on my way home. (I don't think the people at this particular store even wore uniforms, just a smock or apron over their own clothes.)

    Indecisive customers are not as extreme to deal with. Their biggest fault is that they hold up the line with their inability to make up their minds. It’s not so much that they’re difficult, but they can be the catalyst to other difficult customers.

    In this case, it’s important to help the person make a decision, and be polite about it. Don’t be afraid to nudge them in one direction or another – they’re likely self-conscious about their indecisiveness too.

    I was thinking that. It would surely still taste like French onion soup but without the onion slices in it. I’ve never ordered it because I’m not a fan of onions - diced small or adding flavour to a sauce is fine, but French onion soup it too much onion.

    The fourth type, the nitpicker, is similar to the complainer. They will always find something wrong with the service they’ve been given. When their requests are unreasonable, offer to call your supervisor or give them credit. Also, don’t dilly-dally with nitpickers – the sooner their issue is resolved, the less complaints you’ll hear.

    That's when you bring them inside to have a thorough instructional talk with the customer while having another worker phone the police to let them know what's going on. This person WILL end up killing themselves or someone innocent by being allowed to drive off the lot like that. The keys shouldn't be handed over either. I'm sure a police officer worth their pork and beans would 100% side with the mechanic(s)/tire changing dudes.

    It might seem that a lot of the aforementioned strategies require employees to fulfill any demand the customer makes, but that’s simply not true. It’s important to treat every customer equally, whether they’re being rude or not. Experts advise not to make exceptions for unreasonable customers. It’s important to stick to the policies, and the policies should put the customer first.

    This reminds me of that scene in Mrs. Doubtfire where he keeps repeating, "I am job." with more intensity until she says the position as been filled and hangs up.

    I thought it was stupid on first blush... but maybe they wanted to know if the boneless chicken was breast (white meat) or thigh (dark meat)... or maybe they wanted to know if boneless was also mechanically separated.

    This isn't so off. Bone-In wings are chicken wing sections. Boneless chicken wings are processed pieces of a mix of chicken.

    An important thing to remember is that both customers and employees are people. Both can have good days and bad days. There are things that should not be tolerated, like threats of violence and similar inappropriate behavior. Also, give your future customers more credit. Even if one difficult customer leaves a bad review, others are sophisticated enough to understand when someone is being entitled.

    People return things for whack reasons. For several years I was the maintenance person for a local food charity. I fixed the freezers or the gate or whatever needed doing. Most of our donations were food products from grocery stores but from time to time we got a batch of hardware from a large local hardware store. So part of what I would do is pickup the load and sort through it to weed out the scrap metal and absolute trash from the 'keepers'. All volunteer work but I got to keep an item from each batch for doing the pickup run and sorting. Two items that come to mind - a Fiskers folding pruning saw returned because "hard to open and close". Which it is - IF you don't press the release button on the handle. Also a nice pair of PVC/Pex pipe cutters with ratcheting blade mechanism. I think they thought the blade doesn't release. It works fine - just a bit different in that you have to go all the way to closed to get it to release. Other examples but no room here.

    After I was released, I had trouble finding housing. I spent some time in a motel. My friend came to see me. I told her I was in room 5, and I'd opened the door so she could just come in. She didn't come, and finally I called her back. She went to the motel next door, and was waiting in the unlocked room 5 for me. She'd turned off the TV and straightened up the kitchenette. I wonder what the people in that room 5 thought when they got back to their room.

    Our last order with Skip the Dishes (truly the last as in final, never again for a very long time at least) resulted in 30 min on with customer service because we did not receive the order. “There is a delivery photo; check your hallway, maybe the main door, look on another floor…” We kept repeating the same statement: “that photo is not our building.

    I kind of get this. One car I had over the years had a pretty stiff spring on the gas pedal and on long trips my foot DID get tired. I never tried this solution but on really long drives I would kind of wedge my foot sideways (not as bad as it sounds) to put the pressure on different muscles. And no, it didn't have cruise control. It was an old POS car back in the 80s

    My accelerator cable snapped a few miles from home and I came to a rolling stop. I yelled over to a group of guys watching that I need a metal cable, which they dutifully dug up for me. We made the attachment under the hood, which I manipulated from the other end - by hand. Got me home where I fixed it the next day.

    It's the gift of time and energy. We don't do penny's here but I did have a customer just standing there watching me go through every stash while I couldn't find a 5 cent coin to return to them, even after I told them we seemed to be all out. Might have found some loose cents in the end that they could use in limited stores.

    See, this is different than getting charged for extra sauce at like McDonald's or something. This place actually puts work into their sauces. Probably makes them themselves, packages them in the little cups and probably had a finite amount each night. I get getting charged extra for those. But if I want one sauce per 2 nuggets in my 20 piece, no one in the whole store is gonna have to make any extra. Worse they'll have to do is open a new case up.

    At the Teriyaki restaurant I worked at we made our own sauces including the sweet and sour. Which is not to say you can't order good sauces but our Teriyaki was much better than anything I've had bottled. Maybe I'm imagining it but it looks like this is possibly sauce at an Asian restaurant. We made the dressing for the little salad too.

    It depends. I get mad at any place that charges for standard sauce in standard amounts. Take burger king. A large fries is two sauces, a burger is one. So for ketchup or bbq sauce, that's a cost of doing business. Now if I order fries and ask for 10 sauces, that's okay to say no to. But since sauces need to cost more, like tzatziki or hummus. So I'm okay with just getting one and having to pay for more. What gets me is that some places I'll place a $100 order for my family and ask for 3 sauces and they charge 50 cents each. Then that's just being cheap, and I'll pay it, but I won't be back.

    Maybe she saw some money saving youtube video about restocking your fridge with free condiments. Abusers are the reason they are often no longer free. When I was young, nobody charged you for this stuff because most human beings would be embarrassed as hell to ask for this kind of quantity. People took what they were actually going to use for the meal they were purchasing. Meanwhile Taco Bell used to be in some parallel opposite universe. I would ask for TWO hot sauce packets to go with my tacos at the drive through and they would throw 15-20 of them in the bag.

    I knew a guy who installed automatic teller machines. To test them before 'opening' them, they'd fill them with blank banknote substitutes, and run a lot of transactions through them. They went to lunch, leaving the still-under-test ATM behind a plywood screen and a barrier of stanchions and barrier tape, and large signs advising 'ATM NOT IN SERVICE' and directing customers to the bank and alternative ATMS. They came back to find that the bank had received complaints from customers (who'd crossed the barriers, ignored the signs, and removed the plywood screens that 'the ATM was only issuing blank paper'.

    This was a fairly common question at restaurants I worked at a border state in the southern US....apparently in some Spanish speaking countries, limes are called limónes and lemons are called limas. Which is backwards from what you'd think it would be....hence the frequency of this seemingly silly question.

    Well, this is understandable. People who don't cook aren't going to know what this is. I only know what it is because my mom made her own spaghetti sauce. It def should have been taken out though. It's a chocking hazard.

    No, it is not a choking hazard. No way you could get that in your mouth by accident, let alone try to swallow it.

    I’ve heard that bay leaves don’t break down that much during digestion, and even if you chew it up the rigidity remains and it can lacerate your gastrointestinal tract

    Obviously yelling is a bad response but the reason was perfectly... well, reasonable. Plastic gets into the ocean, gets eaten by fish, then we eat the fish that are full of plastic (or the fish just die from eating too much plastic). Plastic straws are now banned in many countries for this very reason.

    Agreed. I wish they would ask before putting them in the glass. I don't use them unless absolutely necessary. Also, I've seen some places using pasta straws, which would be bad for me because I'm Celiac. Same when they give you a complimentary cookie with a coffee, but they put it on the spoon, which means I have something I can't eat and also a spoon I can't use.

    I think this might be more of a case of the mechanic being a doofus more than the customer being a jerk. If the customer paid for the full bottle's worth of oil that was given to the person changing their oil then they should be entitled to the remaining oil as well as the bottle it came in. The mechanic is just being a petty d*ck by putting it into a ziplock bag.
