I worked at REI a few years back (large outdoor sporting goods co-op, just in case you haven’t heard of it), and we sold bear spray (pepper spray for bears).

A woman came in with her two kids one day and bought a canister because they were going camping.

She gets to the front door, then comes back to the register as an afterthought, and asks if she’s supposed to just spray her kids from head to toe with it.

I very briefly worked at a Wendy’s some years back and I was working the drive through.

A woman ordered two meals, one with a small drink and one with a large.

As I handed her the drinks she asked, “which one is the large?”

Worked at a fried chicken place. Lady calls and says that her daughter is going to order. His daughter sounds about 5 years old and orders 500 pieces of chicken.

I say ok laughing. The mom gets on and asks how long. I tell her that her daughter just ordered $1000 dollars in food. Does she really want that. The lady goes nuts screaming at me asking if I think her daughter is dumb.

Me “so you want 500 pieces of chicken?”

Her “My girl wants what she wants, make it and stop making fun of her”

Me” It is going to be at least an hour and 1000 dollars”

[…]

She shows up 10 mins after looking for her chicken. I explained to the manager about the call. She freaked out when the cashier told her it was over $1000.

The lady refused to tell us how much chicken she really wanted while the little girl stood there screaming she wanted 500 chickens.

This was few years back, customer (very chill guy) called in saying he recently bought a new MacBook Pro and it’s not working.

I asked him  “What happens, when you press the power button”

he said ” I don’t know where that is”.

About a decade ago, I used to work doing customer service for a power company in Texas. As you can imagine, a great number of my calls involved late bills and disconnections. And it’s not like the company was ruthless – due to Texas regulations and the general PITA of disconnecting/reconnecting someone, it generally required being 3+ months overdue to actually get shut off. So it was hard for me to work up much sympathy for anyone who was disconnected for delinquency.

But the absolute best was the guy who called up screaming at me about his power being off, because he’d just bought a whole load of rare exotic saltwater fish who have to be kept temperature-controlled. And (of course) he was totally unwilling to pay anything towards his bill either, because he’d spent his money on the fish.

So yes, I DID say exactly what any reasonable person would be thinking at that point.

I feel bad for the fishes tho.

Ughhhh there was a girl at work who drove me nuts about this.

Her: OMG I’m soooo scared! I don’t know how to use my credit card!

Male Co-worker: What do you mean you just swipe it.

Her: I didn’t know I had to pay the bank! How do I read this statement? I’ve never used a credit card before.

Co-worker: It says payment due.

Her: Nooooo but how do I pay? Omg I’m so scared can I just give them 10k? Is that enough?

Repeat for half an hour.

Keep in mind our office is a pretty big well known organization and her job involves verifying important information.

Because she was also flirting with the guy I wasn’t sure if she was legitimately stupid or faking it because she thought it was “endearing”

“Can you aerate that for me?”

He wanted me to stir his apple juice. Technically his word choice was applicable, I guess, but wtf, dude? He had a straw ready in his hand and he could damn well have aerated that juice himself. I admit it took me 2 seconds of staring at his serious face before I reached for a straw, unwrapped it, and stirred his drink. I did it all without breaking eye contact with him, and he was satisfied.

Also I think about him now every time I stir or shake my chocolate milk to make it frothy.

I used to work in IT and one of my jobs was to support some of the security software we offered to customers. We had a package for secure data transfers and people often had to call up to be taught how to use it.

I was helping a woman use the software over the phone and I had a Remote Assistance connection to her PC so I could see her screen.

Me: “Okay, so find your name in the list of users”

Her: “I’ve found it! What do I do now?”

Me: “Right click your name, and then choose log in from the menu”

Her: “Is it my right, or yours?”

I’m a cashier at a grocery store and one time I had a lady ask me of I could “tell everyone else to let her go first.”

Like, she expected me to force everyone who had been patiently waiting in line to let her cut them. It wasn’t like she only had 1 or 2 items either; her cart was packed.

I work at a small outdoor restaurant that sells wings and fries. Nothing else, just those two things (as far as food goes).

About a week ago, a man walked up to my counter, took a menu, proceeded to read the entire thing in front of me, and then put down his menu to ask, “Can I get a cheeseburger combo?” After taking a minute to wipe he ‘wtf’ expression off of my face and telling him no, we only sold wings and fries, he says, “What about a hot dog? Let me get a hot dog!”

My mind was blown after that conversation.

Back when I did tech support, I received a call from a customer with a peculiar keyboard problem. It seems that he was having trouble with the shift key.

When he typed a letter with the shift key pressed it gave him the upper case letter, but when he typed a number, it didn’t do that.

Didn’t do what?

Type the upper case number.

I had to break it to him gently.

Working at callcenter, asking people to pay their old bills. Naturally some responded angrily.

‘So this is what you do all day? You just call people who haven’t paid their bills?’

‘Yes.’

‘So if I paid my bills you’d be out of the job?’

‘If everybody paid their bills, then yes.’

‘Ha ha! Good. You just f*cked up by telling me this. I’m going to pay my bills right away. When you’re unemployed then see how you like getting calls about your bills!’

The futility of eradicating a job that relies on the existence of poor people by making me poor escaped them.

I was working at a car battery store, when a customer came in with a receipt for a battery he had bought a couple weeks ago, asking for a refund. I asked him if he had the battery with him, so that we could take the battery back and refund him the money, when he said, “No I don’t have it anymore, I put it in a car I just sold.” Confused, I replied, “You want us to refund you for a battery that you don’t have anymore?” He responds, just as confused, “Yeah well I don’t have the battery anymore, so why should I have to pay for it? You need to refund me.”

He did not leave the store happy that day.

I work for a major wireless cell carrier in the US.[…]

“How do I make a phone call?”

Me: “Just press the application labeled phone.”

“Where?”

Me: “On the phone.”

“Right here? The one that looks like a phone?”

Me: “Yes.”

“Nothing is happening!”

Me: “Normally when you want to make a phone call and you don’t have any contacts programmed into the phone, dialing a phone number is required.”

“If I wanted to waste time dialing numbers, I would have stuck with my land line!”

“Hey, the bathroom door is locked. Can I get a key?”

“There’s no key, if it’s locked there’s someone in there”

“How does it know?”

I worked in a heritage park in Ireland and we had a group of Viking re-enactors in one weekend, putting on a really good show of crafts, games and a trial.

This American (sorry) tourist came up and asked us “Do you guys have reservations for your Vikings like we do for our Indians?”

Customer screaming: “MY NEW CAR’S BACK WIPER DOESN’T WORK!!!”

we walk outside, look at back window

Me: you don’t have a back wiper blade.

Working at a museum where the main attraction is the dinosaur exhibit, we sell a lot of cheap products aimed at children. And we sell a lot of them.

Especially “Dino Eggs.”

A grandfather (I presume) and his grand-daughter (once again, I presume. And hope.) came into the shop, always busy, always cramped. And he picks up a Dino Egg for her.

Hands it over. Pays quickly. “No bag, no need.” Lovely, simple transaction.

But just as the till drawer has closed and I am pulling out his receipt to hand him, I’ve seen him in the corner of my eye tear open the packaging of this “egg”, smash open the lovely plastic shell and taken a big shard to his mouth.

He begins to chew, turns slowly to me and only then does he think to ask, “Is this edible?”

“No…!” I gasped. “No, sir. That… that’s not edible. You really shouldn’t eat that.”

The little grand-daughter’s face sinks further watching her grandpa spit out bits of plastic into her broken dinosaur egg. A fake dino-egg designed to be immersed in water so that the rubbery-dino toy on the inside can “grow and hatch.”

I gave him another. Well, I gave it to his grand-daughter. Best to keep it away from him, he was clearly ravenous.

I work in a liquor store whose inventory is 80% wine. You literally have to walk past aisles of wine to get to the hard liquor near the back.

I was in the scotch aisle in the back of the store when a customer approaches me, looks me me dead in the eyes and asks “Hey, where do you keep the wine at?”

I took a few seconds to react, not sure at first if the guy was f*cking with me or not, but upon inspecting his sincerely frustrated gaze I arrived at the conclusion that the man was indeed serious.

I responded by simply pointing behind the gentleman and then sweeping my arm from one side to the other like I was showing my lion cub all of the land that would one day be his to rule.

I work at jimmy johns. All jimmy johns have a sign that says free smells. Had a lady come through the drive thru one day while me and my manager are running it. She asks about the free smells after her order and my manager tells her okay you can pull up. She gets to the window, gets her food then proceeds to look through the bag. She eventually looks up all confused and asks where her free smells are? My manager jokingly says “oh yeah come inside and you can smell all you want for free!” She then says “ok *sshole!” And then speeds off.

To this day i have no f*cking clue what she though would be in that bag.

“I worked as a bike messenger for a legal service for years. I made so many ‘super special hot rush’ deliveries to locked or completely empty offices.

The worst was being told to ‘stay dry out there.’ Too late, bruh, I’ve been wet since 8:30 and its unlikely I’ll dry off until 7.”

“When someone brings a magazine they took from the waiting room into their appointment room, then leaves it there after the appointment is done.

Even though they’re headed directly back to the waiting room to pay.”

“When someone doesn’t write their name on a test or paper, leaving me to try and figure it out based on handwriting.”

“When someone says, ‘I was sick of my hair, so I did it myself. Now fix it.

And if you can’t fix it the way I want it due to the massacre I performed, it’s all your fault.’”

“At a piano bar:

Setting a drink on the grand piano and inadvertently knocking it over inside the case so that it ruins the soundboard.”

“Deciding not to buy something and just leaving it on any random shelf.

Extra demerits if it’s left in the wrong temperature zone and has to be thrown away (like that ice cream someone left on the pasta shelf).”

“When someone lives in a gated community and doesn’t leave an access code in the delivery notes.

Then, when they don’t answer their phone.”

“When people expect their grass to be cut/mowed but have hundreds of stuff all over it and expect me to spend my time tidying up too.

I’m not there to tidy up after you! Oh and dog sh^t too. I don’t wanna go blind. Pick your dogs sh^t up!”

“Baiting and switching.

I work in fashion and I sell for a lace company. When we get orders , people give us a standard to follow. When the bulk order is done you present it to the customer and they compare it to the standard . If it matches , you ship it . If it’s way off you have to re-handle it.

Some people present bulk yardage that is really from the original sample dye-lot so it matches the standard but the bulk may actually be off. Once it’s shipped people generally don’t question it unless it’s drastically off.

It’s a cr*ppy thing to do.”

“People shredding coasters, peeling labels off of bottles, or breaking tabs off of cans and throwing them all over the floors and tables.

If you’re old enough to drink, you should be old enough to manage your own hands and not make a useless mess that someone else will have to clean up.”
