What do customers do at your job that piss you off

one of the things I hate is when I tell a customer something they don't want to hear, so they ask for a manager and he tells them the same thing I said. not only that but they go off on a rant on why :exe" the customer is always right and that we should give them an item for free for making them wait 5 min while I helped another customer."

• when they come and stink

• when they come in ask for something and i tell them it is not in stock and still want me go and check the stock room and when i come back and tell them the same thing they go and speak with another memeber of staff who just send them back to me

• When they ask for the price and i tell them but still want me to go and check

• when they ask for price i tell them and the repeat the price back to me
  
  Spoiler:

  Customer: how much is this
  Me: It's 99p
  Customer: 99p
  Me: yeah
  Customer: 99p
  
  either they can't believe the price or think it will change

• Can i get i discount because i know your parents

• When they come and don't even bother look for them self and are always asking where this, where this

• Customers that seem to have no manners

• Customers that ask for price, and when i come back with the price have pissed off, so i end up wasting time going the back of the shop to print the price and comeing back to find they have gone

• Customers asking why we don't sell this, do i look like the person who decide what the company sell

• When customers say you should start selling this item and again do i look like the person who can my this decision

I have more/think of other will ass/put in later.
If some else post something that i like to add i will quate it

I often gripe about day to day life at work on the "dislike about today" thread buttfuck it I'll bite.

• A customer trying to get my attention to ask something while I'm serving someone. I kinda need to concentrate right now, fuck off and wait.

• A customer asking for help while I'm already helping someone else.

• Speaking on the phone while you're serving them. It literally takes a minute or two to serve you depending on how much shit you want to buy. Your phone call can wait and it's rude.

• One particular customer who is a rather large man. In fact so large he wears loose-fitting clothing and suspenders. Nice bloke from what I've seen but he absolutely fucking stinks. It makes me feel ill.

• Customers being entitled cheeky dickwaffles trying to get stuff for free when they find something that isn't priced. Not even I, who actually works there, gets free shit. I check the price, tell you it, and you decide whether or not you want it. That's the deal.

• We have two tills and a one-man-till policy, so if you get assigned a till you stay on that till until the end of our shift or it gets counted so someone else can take over. Once I had a large queue and a customer apparently stood at the till where nobody was serving, and I didn't notice them. But he eventually popped up out of nowhere, got rat-arsed with me for not serving him and made out like I intentionally ignored him. It's not my fault you didn't notice there was a queue for my till and you were standing at the wrong till, you fuckwit.

• Customers expecting us to stock something they want which they saw at their local store or online, then get arsey when we tell them we don't have it. Every store has different shit and we have no control over what we get. You should've got it when you saw it in your store or done a Click and Collect order when you were online.

• A recent experience with a customer complaining about incorrect signage so they confused one product for another. Which is hilarious because the two products were cushions: one shaped like a Monster and another an owl. How you confuse those I do not know. She was being a cunt about it, forgetting that we too are human and details may be missed when changing shit around because the company tells us to. Being a cunt about it and using her kid as a means of emotional blackmail didn't fare well for her sympathy act, it just made her kid look like a fucking spastic and made me not want to serve her because of her attitude.

• Serving someone on the till and they decide at the last minute they want something else so they shoot off to get it. This is even more annoying when there is a queue.

• Customers leaving our baskets in the middle of the shop floor once they've been served. There's not a lot of floor space as it is and if someone trips over it we're the ones who get it in the neck for it.

• Customers complaining about the lack of floorspace. Especially those with prams or wheelchairs. It's not our fault that the company sends us so much stuff so we have to get out as much as possible or else it piles up, and the Unit we lease is so small. Think about how bad we've got it: the stock room is so small it triples as a staff room and an office and the longest break we get is half an hour, despite it being such a physical job.

• Screaming kids, especially ones in the "I want this" phase. The place I work at caters to kids books and toys, so they are a common sight.

• People not putting things back where they got them. If I'm not on the till I spend most of my shift tidying up after people. I would prefer to get shit out from the latest delivery.

• Customers who pay for small shops with big notes. Normally £20 notes. I don't mind doing it a few times when we have a decent supply of £1 coins but when it happens all day eventually we will run out. If that's all you have then don't be a cunt and either pay by card or come back when you do have the right change; there's a change machine nearby, use it.

• Trying to claim I gave them incorrect change.

• The Manager of Lindt next door is generally an unpleasant person. He comes in from time to time and is all chummy with the former Manager who he continually got discounts from who has now moved stores. My access level on the tills isn't high enough to give discounts without authentication which means I have to go grab someone who does every time even if there's a promotion on, so I grabbed my Supervisor. She told him he couldn't get a discount on the sweets, but he mistook it as not getting a discount at all and went off on one. It was directed to her, but his reaction was uncalled for.

• And christmas. It brings out the worst in people.

If I think of more I'll add to the list.

Nothing in particular. Just the really fickle ones. Like I'll go in the back to get some shoes and they'll change their mind as soon as I hand it to them. I also don't like strippers cause they all pay with ones.

The main thing is when they ask for their food fresh, at a fast food restaurant it takes between 12 and 30 minutes to cook anything. Even fries take 4 minutes fresh

Then theirs the customers who complain my tea isn't sweet enough or my biscuits to dark dives me up a wall sometimes

Another one, ordering things we don't sell. If its not on the menu we don't have it period

this one was broght up today. I hate when someone opens a package and for the love of god it is not that hard to put all the packaging back the way it was. not only that but don't open something if you don't intend do buy anything at all!

As part of the wait staff at a nice little steakhouse, there are some things that perv me off about some of the people who eat there.

• 
  It's a non smoking establishment. If your going to smoke you can do it outside. Please don't blow smoke in our faces when we ask you to put it out, sir. (It's this one guy)
  
  Those who leave fake tips. It's a slap in the face to me Considering that is my primary form of income. You enjoyed the meal and service, right? Monopoly money, a used VIP access card to a concert from a few weeks ago and one time this dollar bill with hitter's face on it.
  
  Thankfully this one lady did not get away with sexual harassment toward one of my co workers. Grabbed him right on the crotch and made some sort of perverse remark. Not entirely sure what happened to her once she was escorted off the premise.
  
  The ones that annoy me the most are simply those who are disrespectful to those at other tables. Those who easedrop and butt in in others conversations. It's just rude.
  

I never knew people actually leave fake tips. those assholes!

Look me straight in the eyes and shit everywhere.
Hate that shit man.

They fart and spit on the floor, and yes, i am serious.

To many things....
-First when they all and i answer "(name of company) how can I help you?" Their response is "Is this (name of company). Wtf did I start with saying?
-Next you tell them specials at our restaurant and they need to hear it 2-3 times before understanding it, need to hear 2-3 times cause they don't know how to use memory to tell people in the background(still say it wrong to them), or you have to tell 2-3 people specials cause each one doesn't understand.
-They call you and tell you to hold.....
-Their dumb
-They call you and still talking to people in background...
-Call with music blasting and don't even bother to turn it down.
-You tell them you cannot hear them they just get mad and act like it is my fault..
-Their dumb
-When I tell them their total or they ask about something they will respond with a "who" when obviously should be a "what"
-They believe they know how we make our food and want to argue about it...
-Their dumb
-Complain about the stupidest things (my food is too hot)

I can go and go lol

Indeed. It's pretty damn rare but it's happened. I listed every example that happened to me, but I'm apparently not the only victim. More likley than not it's just like 2 or 3 guys who are regulars and think it makes a funny prank.

@nutritiousgoop I love to exercise my right of service when it comes to people like that. I refused to serve someone who started off trying to be a smart ass to me then cut me off when I tried to answer. the look on his face when the realization of not being in control made me feel so good.

I'll bite, sounds fun in fact. I'm head of Commercial Development at my office

• Not listening to me, after I said it a dozen times that it won't legally work.

• Getting mad at me for telling you that it is illegal to do that

• Getting mad at me for something your real estate agent did

• Building a House without a permit

• Wanting to build a house in the Middle of an Interstate

• Not listening to the County

• Thinking you know more about Engineering than me

• Telling me you got a extremely low price from another company, I know your lying

• Plan lying to me

• Telling me that I'm costing you millions of dollars by delaying a job, which is your fault for delaying it

That's all I can think of off the top of my head

-People will walk into the store and look directly at the sign that has just the specials on it, and then turn to me and ask me "what are your specials?" Really....
-You ask someone about their food by giving option on which way they want it, and they will say the way they want it as if you were suppose to already know.
-Calling the store and basically saying that every time they order at this restaurant their food is wrong....I am sorry but if 1 place always got my orders wrong then I am not going there anymore.

I don't work with the public, but when I did people who insisted I go in the back to look for a product I knew we didn't have.

I know but can you still look?

i normally just go to the back mess around on my phone and come back and say we don't have it or if someone else is there i'll talk to them for a bit the go back

Nailed it
