    Anyone who's worked in any sort of a service industry will find this site HILARIOUS.

    http://www.notalwaysright.com/

    Basically, it's pages upon pages of stories about bad, bad customers ranging from bars to restaurants; from retail to hospitals; from investment firms to lawyer's offices. It's greeeeat.

    I have been reading that website everyday for the past few months and it's got to be one of the few things that I actually laugh out loud at. The customers on there are so hilarious and stupid it makes you think, "wow.... I didn't know human beings were that idiotic!"

    I KNOW, eh? Some of them MUST be made up, or at least fantasies. There are some on there, though, that are too unbelievable to not be true... :lol:

    (This exchange happened between two co-workers.)

    Waitress: “I need a fourth of a chicken to go, please.”

    Cook: “OK, a quarter chicken it is!”

    Waitress: “NO! I ASKED FOR A FOURTH!”

    Cook: “A quarter and a fourth are the same thing.”

    Waitress: “Oh…is there another word for a half?”
    "

    I've had a similar issue when I worked at Wendy's.

    Only a few months ago I had this middle aged woman at work who was asking me how to get gum out of the candy machine. As far as I could tell until that point she had an average mental capacity. But she went on asking how much money it requires, why a nickel didnt make it do anything, where the gum comes out of, and more. My co-workers and I were in tears. :grin:

    ME: The corrected Ice cream order, is something wrong?

    Customer: Yes, I wanted mint ice cream with chocolate chips.

    ME: Im sorry let me fix that right away...Here you go.

    Customer: I want to speak with a manager.

    Me: I am the manager, im sorry about the mix up earlier but is everything ok?

    Customer: No! you forgot to put my brownie inside!

    Me: I apologize, let me give on to you on the house.

    Customer: No I dont want it. (at the Register) Where am I?

    Me:...Coldstone....

    Customer: Oh I thought this was Marble Slab. My son gave me the wrong directions. No wonder your service is bad.

    (She came in every weekend for 3 months. We would go through this routine every time. We later found out she had alzheimer's from her son. She wasent supposed to leave the house alone. Apperently she was sneaking out.)

    (A customer walks up to the counter where we have LGBT books up for Pride month.)

    Customer: “What the h***! Why are you guys showing off all these hommasesual books?”

    Me: “Homma what?”

    Customer: “Hommasesual books… you know, dudes with other dudes and stuff. You should be ashamed.”

    Me: “I still don’t understand. I have no idea what a hommasesual is or ‘dudes with other dudes.’ I’m not sure what that means.”

    Customer: ”Oh, you all are a bunch of f**s here!”

    Coworker: “What, you’re looking for bags?”

    Customer: *gets fed up and leaves*

    Customer: “You’re scary.”

    Me: “I’m sorry?”

    Customer: “You’re scary. Your face is scary.”

    Me: “I’m sorry, I can’t change how my face looks.”

    Customer: “You need to. You work in a store. You need to be less scary. Change your face.”

    Me: “…again, I’m sorry my face scares you. Have a good day.”

    (Someone had left a massager in my department, and a little boy of about four found it and began to experiment with it. He held it up to his dad’s back and pushed the button; when that elicited no reaction, he held it up to his grandmother’s pelvic area and pushed the button.)

    Grandma: “OOOOOOOOH! It’s a vibrator! ”

    Little boy: *laughing* “Did it tickle?”

    Grandma: “Yes, it tickled! But put it down before you break it and your daddy has to buy it.”

    Little boy: *skips out toward main mall* “It’s a vibrator, a vibrator! I vibrated Granny!!!”



    Sooooo Wrong.

    the customer is never right, the only reason the customer is "right" is because company wants to keep business and customers.
    I almost yelled at a lady cause she was bitching about how we asked for her ID cause her signature on her credit card was rubbed off and no other stores asked for it. It's for your own god damn safety, seriously I hope she gets her credit card stolen.
