Retail Workers Dish On The Rude Customers Who Almost Made Them Go Off

21.

Work as a bartender and nearly lost my shit with a customer last night. He was in with a booking and they had the upstairs bar to themselves and I was serving them, and one of them had far too many and ordered two drinks (I would’ve cut him off but I didn’t realise how drunk he was until after he ordered). He starts wandering off asking his friends what drinks they want and other people start coming up wanting to order, so I tell him he needs to pay now because other people are waiting. He says he’ll be two seconds and keeps asking his friends if they want drinks. This happens 3-4 times and I get impatient, so I simply tell him he needs to pay for the drinks right now. Then he can’t find his wallet. –Cyanide_Revolver

I assisted a woman for 20 minutes because she insisted on not touching any ‘Asian based’ objects. According to her the Chinese put poison in their dye so our body heat let’s the poison melt to our skin and kills us. She was convinced that anything made in China was toxic and deadly…even glass. She was not aware my father is white but my mother is Chinese. –L1am814

Many years ago I worked in Best Buy in the TV department. Plasma’s were all the rage. It was common to get really dumb questions all the time, but none would lead to anything confrontational, and you just mostly try not to laugh.

Had a guy come in wanting to buy a Plasma TV. He wanted to know where the extra power cable was to plug in and re-charge the plasma. He was totally serious and argued with me about it for at least 10 minutes. I was just to about to lose my shit and pry my job before my manager over heard some of it and came to intervene. Guy ended up leaving super mad and without a TV. –Big_fish46
