I was practically running from the register and the prep station to get the customer out quick as possible without screwing up there order. One lady came in and wanted me to make her smoothie crunchy. The smoothie she ordered was a gladiator which is just powder and what ever fruits she wanted so it’s almost impossible to get the smoothie to come out the way she likes it. After failing 3 times. I look behind her and saw 10 more people walk into the store. I looked at her and said “ma’am I can’t help you, I’m sorry.” Then I handed her smoothie and I proceeded to make 50 more smoothies in next 15 minutes.

One night, this lady comes up with a cart full of food and as I start ringing, she points out that I’m not ringing the items right because none of them came up for the sale price. None of the items she had were on sale. I knew this. I explained it to her, that she probably confused the items. She admitted to the first few but as I kept scanning, this lady flew into a rage. I finally got what was happening. This bitch was trying to get the more expensive items for sale price by “accidentally” bringing the wrong items and hoping I’d put in a coupon code. She stormed off and left her cart. Her husband was pissed because he just wanted his groceries. The man behind them shouted, “If you can’t read, don’t come to a grocery store!” And it was the best day of my entire life

Our mechanics spent some time on it, but couldn't find any faults. While handing her car back and trying to explain, she got irate and told me 'all you have to do is plug the computer into it and it will tell you what's wrong!' That was bad enough, but keep reading. It gets worse. After trying unsuccessfully, multiple times, to explain that cars don't work like that I pulled out my phone and showed her a picture on my phone. The background was a complex wiring diagram with the words "customers be like: you should just be able to plug in the scanner and it tells you what's wrong with it" (in that big bold meme font). Obviously teasing this kind of thinking. The customer takes my phone and starts trying the trace the wiring in the photo like she's going to solve the issue with her car.

I know it will fit."My coworker and I stared at each other and both of us had the same thought. "Lady what do you think we do for a living?" We stood back and let her have at it and she spent 20 minutes trying before angrily deciding to set it up in a downstairs bedroom.

I had a woman who implied me that I was going to be fired because I told her I can't let her into a workshop late ... when I was already rescheduling another person that was late, but not as late. I work in an office that is meant to help the unemployed people find work ... you need to be on time for the workshops if you want to get in. Explaining, it is not fair to the people on time to have to go over information they already did for you (especially when it is 20 to 30 minutes of a 2 hour to 3 hour workshop). It's free, you don't pay for it. The longest time between workshops is 2 months, and that is only with two specific workshops. The one she missed was literally being offered the next week again in the office she was at and the next day in another office about a 20 minute drive from the one we were in. So more details. I am helping the first late comer at my counter getting her set up for the next week workshop. The above woman walks in, as I am helping the first person she states loudly. "I am here for the ." Me: "I am sorry, that was called 30 minutes ago and they cut off late comers 10 minutes later, you'll have to reschedule and if you give me a moment I can help you with that." "That's not acceptable, I hope you don't like your job because you suck at it." Me internal: WTF? "You won't have it for much longer anyway, asshole." From the face on the person, they were having a similar reaction as I was. After she left, I apologized to the person I was helping and went back to getting that person rescheduled.

I'm french. We use "dizaine". It's 10. Look up the word a bit further. The customer was indeed a dick.

So my grandmother ordered pizza for herself and my dad (who was a kid at the time), and my great grandmother was really confused and put off by this "northern trend" of food and asked what it was. My grandmother could only think to describe it as a "pizza pie", and my great grandmother apparently took the word "pie" and held onto it. So when the pizza arrived, she took one bite and spit it out in the trash and said, "That is the nastiest pie I ever tasted." Then scraped all the toppings, cheese, and sauce off the dough and ate the dough by itself.

When I worked at Carl's Jr. customers would come in all the time with Burger King coupons. When I'd tell them I can't take their coupons, they'd ask why. I'd say "Because this is Carl's Jr." Customer "No, it's not. It's Burger King." Me "This is Carl's Jr. look around the place, it says Carl's Jr. all over. Look at my shirt, it says Carl's Jr." Customer "No, it's not. It's Burger King. I know for a fact I came to Burger King." Me "I know where I work." Customer "You're just lying to me. I know for a fact I came to Burger King. And I can't believe you're not gonna honor your coupons."
