I used to work in a grocery store deli. One time a guy came up to me and said "I'll take a half pound or a quarter pound of ham, whichever is less." I said, "Sir, a quarter pound is less than a half pound, are you asking for a quarter pound?" And he said, "Yeah, sure, whatever." Technically not a customer story, but I did catch my manager and a coworker having sex in the bathroom during the night shift once. He had her pressed up right near the urinal. I just wanted to go pee! 😕 I also worked at Target. This woman comes up to me and asks where the peanut butter is. I walk her over and show her. As I walk away she says "Hey, wait! I actually wanted marshmallow fluff...I thought it would be near the peanut butter..." I worked at a Best Buy. A lady got really upset that we didn't carry Looney Tunes cartoons in the French language. She insisted her kids could only listen to French language cartoons.

I was working in Best buy and a customer wanted to buy a washer/dryer. I had no idea how to sell them, so I called for someone to assist him over the radio. Five minutes went by and no one helped. The customer came to me again, I radioed again, five minutes goes by again, no one helped. He came up to me again and started yelling at me. He pulled a wad of cash out of his pocket and said, "I came here wanting to spend this and this is how you treat me? How could you treat a customer like this? In YOUR store???" And I replied, "Sir, if this was my store, do you think I'd be standing here right now?" That made him angrier and he demanded to see my manager. So I said over the radio (in front of him) that an irate customer wanted to speak to a manager. Afterwards, I was counseled for using the word irate and I should have said "unhappy." Some goonlord said in a customer satisfaction survey that the anime section in the store was lacking. It was black Friday and I was working a 12 hour shift (2am - 2pm). We had a Nintendo Wii display in the store. It was about 10am, the store was packed and I was brain dead trying to stock things. Suddenly the contractor Nintendo hired to handle the display came up to me and started screaming that the Wii display wasn't working. I just shrugged my shoulders and walked away. I worked in a factory making picture frames for a religious company. I had to cut glass for the frames. We had a disabled employee on the staff that cut wood and did janitorial work. One day I accidentally slipped and sliced my hand open on the glass. I ran to the bathroom to clean the wound and used what I thought was soap. It started burning profusely and I frantically tried to wash it off. Apparently the disabled employee had put Mr. Clean in the soap dispenser. I had a customer tell me, on July 4, "Wow, it sucks they are making you work today." I said, "It's because people like you shop today." She didn't seem too empathetic after that. A guy asked me to slice his cheese thin. I thought I did it pretty thin and handed it to him. Fifteen minutes later, he stormed back to the deli counter and threw the cheese in my direction and yelled that I had cut it too thick and to do it again. I was a wimp and complied. 😕
