...I hate them, but I guess it's in the job description. I just had a guy threaten me because I could only give him $0.50 for his "Flock of Seaguls" CD. He said that I'm a dickhead and that he's gonna meet me in the parking lot. SO...I told him that I'd see him at 6.;) (Like a dickhead would...)
I guess this only applies to those of you who are in the Retail/Resale buisness but have you ever had to deal with some "winners" like this guy? I know thats a dumb question because everybody has but I love stories.

yep I've had plenty. At best buy there was this old black dude who was very demanding and rude. He was standing like 5 feet from the scanners, and then he's like "I want that scanner" and points to the direction of 2-3 scanners. So I am like "which one, this one?" and point to one of them. Then in a real gruff and irritated voice, he said "The one I'm pointing at!" :screwy: . So he didn't really answer my question but I told him we didn't have anymore (looked on top of the shelf, and still didn't know which scanner he was talking about) then he rudely just abruptly left like he was pissed off.

I was at a hotel once and some guy came in and asked for his "usual" room that he reserved 3 days ago (I was standing next to him about to buy somthing to drink when I over heard this). Well they told him they gave it away because this was a high demand hotel and it was hard to get rooms. This was in St. Louis. After they told him that he went off and started screaming for like 5 minutes about how it was bullshit and he had been staying there for too long to have them give his room away. Well here he is cussing at the top of his lungs and there are all these kids standing around with there parents and everyones just standing there staring at him wanted to do something but no one did. The people that work there can't do anything or say anything so I walk right in front of him and they let me buy my drink and I left. I went to bed because I had enough of him and his childness but the next day when we went to check out they told us they eventually called the cops to get him to get another room or leave. Wanted to lay him out on the spot but he was rich and I wouldn't have any money afterwards. Always see people like that in movies but never in real life.

I remember at my old job I had some morons. I used to work in an information centre (visitor info shit, brochures etc). Most of the centres in NZ do bookings for ferries etc, but we didn't. This lady comes in.
"Shuttles."
"Sorry?" I reply.
"I want to make a booking."
"I'm sorry, we don't make bookings here."
"Yes you do."
"No we don't, I'm sorry."
"Yes you do! I was told I could make a booking at an info centre! I want to make a booking!"
"I'm sorry. Most of the other centres do, but we don't do bookings. I can ring the shuttle company and you can make a booking with a credit card if you like, but I can't do it directly."
"I don't have a credit card."
"Unfortunately then you'll have to head into the city and book at the centre there."
"But Wellington's so far away!" (it's about a 15 min drive)
Eventually she got the shits with me and left. Dumb slut.
No real annoying customers at my currentwork, cept for one who when he calls up is always lethargic and slow, taking like 2 minutes between fords. Farking annoying.

At the pizza place I used to deliver for we would also make sandwiches, burgers, etc. Often when I delivered, I would deliver a pizza with an appetizer or sandwich. During one of those pizza and burger deliveries a guy asked 'is my sandwich in the bag?'. I wanted so badly to say 'no, your sandwich is in the pizza box and your pizza is in the bag'.
And just about every other 'bag' delivery with multiple sandwiches I would get asked 'are both the sandwiches in the bag?' I don't know, pizza delivery drivers don't cook the fucking food and put it in the bag. We take whatever the cooks give us, and deliver it to your house.

hehe, I love calling non-franchise pizza places 10 or 15 miles from my house and having them deliver at night; I live in a super confusing neighborhood so they have to drive for like an hour to get to my house :evillol:

Man, most satisfying thing about my job is that if anyone even curses at me, raises their voice, speaks ill of Mr.Gates, or refuses to go along with what I have to do, I just hang up on them. Feels so nice knowing I will never talk to them again. :D

I work at a Pizza place in Lexington, MN. One time this lady argued with me for atleast 10 minutes on the phone trying to tell me that lexington is not a city(we are also on Lexington ave.) She was like i know there is a lexington street but there isnt a lexington city. When we answer phones we clearly say carbones IN lexington....i finally got so fed up i told her to hold on and gave a manager the phone.

For me, it's the phone call about a wedding engagement. Often, a mom will call me to say that their son or daughter has gotten engaged. I respond (politely) that I look forward to talking to the wedding couple. PEOPLE WHO ARE OLD ENOUGH TO GET MARRIED CAN CALL THE PARISH PRIEST THEMSELVES.

hahahah what a shiizle about f'n customers. So I work at a retail store and one day this fuckin lady comes up to my register with a box little box of popcorn, ONE FUCKING ITEM.Then she says i want cash back and i say ok so she swipes the card and it wouldnt do it because you can only take out money in increments of $20 so she want's 10 fucking bucks. So she says whats wrong, and i tell her you can only take out $20 or hiher and she says, "well no im not going to do this, no, this is not gonna happen, I should be able to take out what ever i want, no, no!, then i wont take this.If I knew I wouldhave gone to target or somewhere else!.I dont just wont take this then." so she leaves and i wanted to fucking cuz her out(she was a lady about 55 yers old). Anyway: Job-8 dollars an hour, Popcorn- $3.00 bucks, the fact that she walked and drove and wasted her time: Priceless.

i've been in retail for a while too. heres a run down of some of my most annoying and craziest.
i had an old lady come in and ask if she could set up a payment plan for her furniture at $5 a month for a $2800 table and chairs. then she prociedes to tell me about how the entire black community of america is out to steal her money and that all black bank tellers are part of this conspiricy.
had a nutty woman who did not have here remote delivered for her gas fireplace unit. she threatened to sue me, the business i work for and the manufacturer unless she got her remote asap. see was cursing screaming and actually crying about it. an hour later her husband called apologizing saying that his wife was off her meds.
i had a customer try and get my fired because i wasn't sympathetic enough. we didn't even sell what she was looking for in my store.
saw a customer come into fist fight another employee because his umbrella wasn't delivered the same day as his patio furniture. he was a cop too.
had a recently divored bitch call me a liar to my face because i supposedly told her that her special order furniture would be in in 3 days. this shit take 8 weeks to get in cuz its custome made for the most part. then she called the other stores and our offices to tell them how much of a liar i am. she told our delivery drivers too.
then there the idiots (mostly geriatrics) that come in the store, stop at the front door and yell, "hello! hello! is someone gonna help me!?"
aside from those stand out incidences there was also more a-hole and wackos. i just can't think of anything else right now.

I'm a Grocery Clerk at a supermarket in my town....Grocery meaning i stock shit on the shelves and take care of the milk and whatnot.....i get some dumbass questions such as.....
"Is this on WIC?".....I don't know what the hell is on WIC, all i do is stock the shit..don't ask me...ask the people who know in checkout.....as a matter of fact YOU should know what's on it since YOU'RE in the program, not I.
"Where is the chicken that's on sale?"....I don't have a fuckin clue bitch i'm a grocery clerk. ask the people in the Meat department...
*customers that come in late on the last days of the sale* "do you have anymore of 'insert product name here' ?" *me* "no but you can get a rain check at the customer service desk." *customer decides to get pissed and mutters something like "you guys never have anything on sale" to which i want to say....well that's what your dumb ass gets for fucking coming in on the sale too late...next time...be smart, grab a flyer, and come early instead of looking for a good bargain at 10:00 PM
"At 'insert other supermarket name here' you can get this for cheaper"...well good then get the fuck out of my store and buy your cheap shit elsewhere
I once got this guy in my face asking me abut where the water comes from for the water bubbler....."IS THIS RANDOLPH WATER?!" he was asking me....i honestly said, "no we filter it through our piss like in waterworld"
:rolleyes:

Sky Harbor Airport, Phoenix. The black couple ahead of me at the luggage check-in screaming "RACISM" for ten minutes because they had to unlock their bags, just like everyone else. The airline people were too polite to say anything to them, I would have had security drag them off.

i used to work at a grocery store, so i know all the good stuff that goes on there.
i also used to answer phones for a news paper and put in high school scores and stuff. at night (when i worked) we took every call. my 2 favorites are:
1) "did you call me?" ummm...no. there's 150 people working here...what was the person's name? "i forget...can you transfer me to someone?" *click*
2) "i lost my dog has anybody called in about it?" this one baffled me so much i just transfered it over to the news room.
