'It's always nice when a big boss... lays down the law': Entitled greeting store customer claims she knows the CEO, the CEO calls her bluff

If you're going to claim you're BFFs with the CEO , you'd better be ready to prove it. First of all, has that line ever worked? It seems like some customers can't help but think that saying “I'm friends with the owner!” or “I know the CEO very well!” is a magical pass to getting whatever they want. This customer believes that just because they “know” the CEO, that the employees will suddenly start kissing up to them. That's not how it works, I'm afraid.

'Karen thanks me and hangs up. It was so satisfying': Cashier has one-on-one conversation with demanding customer who doesn't recognize her voice

This is one of the reasons why being a manager is an amazing job. If you've ever worked retail, you know that dealing with irritating customers is par for the course. As a cashier, you'll spend your whole shift ringing people up, and a percentage of them are going to be crabby. So if you become a manager, you get to avoid the cash register more often than not. Along with a nice raise, it's a satisfying feeling to know that you only have to deal with customers when they're asking for a manager .…

But this customer seems to want free food from a grocery store… which aren't exactly known for doling out…

Some customers literally cannot wait to get their hands on the next big product release. For a certain type of consumer, having the newest tech or best-selling book or new clothing line drop is absolutely essential. When it comes to electronics, why not wait a few months to let people review the product and make sure it actually works well? For other products, however, it does make sense to try to get it as fast as possible. If you lived through the original “Harry Potter” craze of the early 20…

Entire Department Attends Employee's Wedding Except One, Bride Claims She Couldn’t Make It, Coworker Reveals at Meeting That She Wasn't Invited: 'I could see the brides face visibly change'

When you are planning a wedding, finalizing the guest list can seem like an impossible task. As much as you'd like to invite everyone you can, financially, your bank account might not allow that. And then there are all of the plus ones, too. You can't deny every guest a plus one, even if you don't really know their date. It's customary, even though no one wants to spend their big day with people whom they don't know or want to be there. But what this entitled bride did was next level.
