If you have never worked retail, customer service, or food service then I consider you a blessed individual that I envy but also would never wish my experiences on.

Lmao that woman arrested for coughing in someone's face was demanding a refund for an item she didn't have. She had a pic of it on her phone

i can top that. Had a lady with ONE ITEM request a bag. She complained the bag was too heavy, took the item out, and walked out carrying it.
ManThatzaDrag
People are horrid creatures.
kirstyjunior
I still remember the regular I hated most. She wanted plastic, in paper, in plastic. I bet the plastic bag ban ruined her life.
LincLoud
Ah yes, I remember the plastic bag ban. Customers were neither patient nor understanding of it

I worked in the meat department in a grocery store and a woman yelled at me because she couldn't find the strawberries.
CamelaShy
If you've never worked retail and you act like that old lady, Fuck you.

Call center experience: customer wants a refund and doesn't want to return to store to get it. Will not wait for a mailed check. Let me 1/2

Everyone should work service at least once. World might have a FEW less assholes in it.
AFrugalMoogle
Working at a deli I got to witness this happen to a coworker. This guy comes in super fucked up and orders a steak sub with mayo and wants
AFrugalMoogle
it toasted. The poor girl asked him if he wanted Mayo on it before or after it’s toasted and this dude freaks out shouting, “Why tf would
AFrugalMoogle
I want Mayo on a steak sub?!” Turns out he was not only drunk but on some good ol fashioned cocaine as well.

all people entering the workplace should need to do at least one year of retail/food service, so they may see what massive asshats they are.
noslient23350
Who do you think is giving you a hard time!
PrisonDonkey
Everyone should be required to work a mandatory 2 years in either Retail or Food Service.
MickeA
Did it for couple of summers. More then enough to understand how not to be a dick
tesseract4d2
Fuck that, the people who need it won't learn anything from it, and the rest of us suffer. I don't need to work for customers to know how tt
tesseract4d2
*to not be a prick as a customer.
Jokerthehulk
This November will be 15 years in retail. I still have no idea what I want to do for a career.
Nalianna
I hear you, close to the same for me. I see dumber and dumber customers every day. People ask me about zombie apocalypses,...
Nalianna
I think it's already happened.
Dewbs
I own a retail store. Want to here a secret? I hate customers.
Dewbs
Too bad they are kinda important to the whole structure of the business model.
sunyudai
Doubt that's as much of a secret as you think.
Kavrae
I'm curious if there's a "worst demographic" or if horrible customers are evenly distributed.
Dragonfury5
I've met horrible people of all ages and races. One thing I noticed when I checked receipts and helped stop people leaving with unscanned1/
Dragonfury5
/2 items, is while we all got nasty customers, the nastiest were always from our own races. Yeah I'd get rude hateful black/hispanic/asian2/
Dragonfury5
/3 but overall the worst was white people. Guess they thought I'd give them passes. The black members of my team told me they had the same 3

I work as an insurance agent, and this is our policy holders. "I want all the coverages and have a shitty record, but I don't want to pay"
SuperSlowMarc105
At UPS, weight limit was 70 lbs. Agent brings in three rolls weighing 267 lbs. each.
LurkerOfDarkness
Well at least that's her problem in many countries, good luck to her packing her one bag though.
DocTanner
I haven't worked in a grocery store in over a decade, but this image _still_ hurts me.
lumpinawesome
I don't think that's possible? --- What are you, the possible police!
Varenvel
i live in europe and i had my bags packed only 3-5 times , some young people done it for charity , everyone packs their own bags so if >
Varenvel
something gets messed up you packed it wrong.
AquilaJM
I've worked in the bar industry for 19 years. My favourite was a woman who wanted her ice on the bottom of the glass. I tried to explain 1/2
AquilaJM
2/2 that ice floats on liquid and she just said that I was an idiot, I should try harder and the customer is always right. Just kill me.
Couchwarrior1337
I'd put the ice in first and make her watch as it floats up while the glass is filled. "I put it in the bottom."
VC999999
Have you not heard of Heavy Water? Freeze it and it becomes Heavy Ice. Modern Problems and Solutions etc.
flavivsaetivs
Ah yes because giving customers deuterium is a great idea...
supraman2turbo
The people like that bitch....it is a great idea
flavivsaetivs
I actually looked it up and it turns out it helps protect against radiation and treats cancer...
qPRdxH4UXm36HS9rJgLA
For a few ice cubes worth it would probably be fine. Anymore than that and the density difference starts to mess up your inner ear so you 1/
qPRdxH4UXm36HS9rJgLA
become dizzy.
flavivsaetivs
Yeah I actually looked it up and it turns out it helps protect against radiation and treats cancer... lol.
PostalHeathen
I do retail, but it's at the Post Office, so we have different unreasonable requests. This package weighs 40lbs and is going to hawaii, 1/2
AlmightyThor117
If you want to hear unreasonable requests, you should try to sell houses to people
Ribaldrie
I'm a server and my mom is a realtor, there's way more crossover than you'd think
rosered68
Or teach people’s children
VC999999
Or be a renovation contractor. I'm sorry, when you said your budget was $10K, I didn't realise that was for a 4 bedroom addition.
imreallyadogperson
What's your best / most ridiculous story?
SerenePrincess013
Used to flip houses w/ a friend. Dude would buy the house in deplorable condition, we'd fix it up, he'd sell it for major bucks, & pay me>>
SerenePrincess013
About 30-35% of the selling price for the work I did. Last house we did, I finished the basement, including epoxying the floor, among >>
SerenePrincess013
Other stuff. The house was bought for 80k$. 3500sqft. He sold it for over 500k$. I got paid a lousy 15k$. He fled the country. >>
AlmightyThor117
Asking to add a sauna to the middle of their basement after their house was nearly completed with none of ventilation or piping in place
pilomotor
How much did you quote them?
AlmightyThor117
Buyers didn’t think it would cost anything extra, it was with a larger home building company so they just denied the request
PostalHeathen
and I've got $15. What can you do for me? 2/2
Sevulturus
Ship it to a random person on the coast and ask them to throw it in the ocean.

"Wish you a good day."

Easy: fit in plus 30lbs more into a medium flat rate box and you're golden.
fireaza
These people are the worst. Not every business is a used car lot, ya morons!

"I can tell you it's going to Hawaii and then throw it in the dumpster out back."
sunyudai
Alas, that's a felony.
sunyudai
Hah, yep.
StorytellingSalem
…….i dont get it is that too lil or too much? I dont work in post offices and all my mail are in 10cent stamps.
Jackpot123
Pretty light for across the water, Michigan to Chicago was like 50 bucks for me
Rayxzerox
for a 40 pound package, it's gonna be way more
BallsDeepinaDragonscloaca
Yea. For big packages like that UPS or DHL or FedEx are gonna be cheaper since that's what they specialise in.
stja
He's missing a zero for the fee.
ArchMagos
I got free shipping on a 50 lb. Anvil back in 2013. Thank you Amazon Prime.
sunyudai
Step father got free shipping on an 850 lb tractor accessory. They just dumped it in his driveway. For the price, he figured "fair".
sloch
Free shipping on a petrol powered generator. Thing weighs at least 75lbs.
bacter
You son of a bitch, I worked for a shipping center as a teen, and we hated two things: fruit of the month club day, and online blacksmithing
ArchMagos
I only bought one, and I hate buying gear for crafting online because it deprives local shops of business, so it's a last resort
Timmy79
Your local "Anvils R Us" were sold out that day?
SonofCthulhu
I did retail for 15 years. Never again.
Rogahar
Better part of 15 here, too. No regrets over leaving it lol.
HawkmanXLII
Restaurants for 20. I feel ya.
YewPluckingShotMe
" 'scuse me, but my milkshake is too cold, can you fix this for me." Polite request, but it rocked me 9 hrs into the hottest day of summer.
HawkmanXLII
I once had someone get mad at me because they burned their mouth on some soup. I had even warned them it was hot. "Why iS It So HoT?!"
InsanityKiwi
I want a mince pie, without the mince.

PotatoSpacer
How'd you get out? Cause for me, its either gonna be UPS or a trade
SonofCthulhu
The bank up the street needed people. People skills and money handling got me in.
HawkmanXLII
Just kinda lucky. Covid ended my job, but I got that sweet Canadian Gov't money for a while, took some classes. My partner also does well.
PrincessNakedMoleRat
Medical coding.
anthrolover6
How much schooling for that?
PotatoSpacer
Probably a few
PrincessNakedMoleRat
It depends, but maybe 1-2 years. I would look up programs at colleges near you.
RenaissanceFaireMan
Yeah, there's baggers: Light stuff goes in one bag, cans and heavy stuff double bagged, frozen together, it isn't that difficult.
Nalianna
Sir our bags are really strong. you dont need to double bag. "double bag it anyways" OK. *charges customer 10 cents per bag* THATS NOT FAIR!
ChristopherHallett
Lmao, where do you live that supermarkets still have baggers? The 1960s?
RenaissanceFaireMan
Look, I go to HyVee here and they bag my groceries. EVERY store here bags groceries. I DO have the option to self-checkout.
RenaissanceFaireMan
Walmart bags my groceries.
RenaissanceFaireMan
I go to the local Fareway and they have baggers. Where do YOU live?
ChristopherHallett
Australia, where the three major chains make the checkout operators bag the groceries as well.
RenaissanceFaireMan
So someone bags the groceries for you?!
ChristopherHallett
Yes, NOT a separate bagger.
RenaissanceFaireMan
So the checkout operator bags the groceries?!
Drunktinyoctupuswantstofight
Yes, they pick it up to scan it then put it down inside the bag, I have done it as a job many years ago. Wasn’t that difficult
