This little interaction, real or not, was just what we needed to brighten up the day. Just picturing an elderly man making off with a big old TV, and having his granddaughter try to run cleanup on his forgetfulness is quite hilarious. Maybe he'll accidentally take a car next.
customer service
Some customers assume that because customer service exists, they can just go right on with turning their brains off. That's not exactly how it works. A little common sense is required. And not only a little common sense, but how about some common decency as well? These tweets about customers being completely wrong, are a solid showcase in how the customer is certainly not always right. Yes, Karen can be wrong.
The concept of a Karen is outlined by someone with crazy entitlement and a superiority complex, specifically targeted at anyone they deem "lesser than" such as servers and customer service reps. Anyone working retail sees people like this all the time, and their Karen behavior is so outrageous that they're like a cartoon. What people forget is that sometimes people have to live with them.
Customers have a long and storied history of asking for things that will actively do them harm, like this Karen who wanted donuts straight out of the fryer oil. The thought of giving a customer an extremely hot cup of liquid harkens back to the reality of the McDonald's hot coffee case, which no person working at a coffee place wants to repeat. Anyway this lady asked for some real hot tea and she got it.
Good for this dude. After what sounds like a totally innocent mishap, where they went to the wrong Thai restaurant to grab their lunch, and weren't able to get over to the right Thai restaurant before getting back to work; they ultimately decided to make good on the ghosted order, days later. Following up to right wrongs like that can make an unimaginably positive impact upon another human being's state of existence.
The tables have turned. Yes, this fun AskReddit thread asks employees how they'd review their customers if the whole Yelp review process were flipped. Maybe providing a space for employees to write up their customers for rude behavior and irritating antics would ultimately serve to raise awareness in those most severe cases of entitled customers. If this thread leaves you hungry for more content about working in the industry, check out the worst customers that people ever dealt with.
Some customers are the true, living definition of clueless. It's like their brains switch to a mindless, auto pilot state upon entering an establishment. Or maybe the customer is mentally with it, but decided to leave social decency at the door, before entering. No thank you. These folks share their experiences navigating the worst customers they've ever had.
This employee deals with cases of entitled and angry customers by pretending to get fired in front of the customers. It sounds like it's a prank of sorts, done so to maybe make the customers more aware of how they're treating people. You'd think that most people wouldn't feel too hot about being mean to someone just doing their job, right before they lose said job.
With so many retail businesses closing and laying off workers, some of the only retail jobs left right now are work in grocery stores. So this does seem like a weird time for these. With that said, retail and customer service memes are relatable to literally anyone who has ever worked retail ever in there life, so cosmically, it makes sense.
Ah yes, another Tumblr user yet again proving why the world of Tumblr is full of countless comedic gems. It's a place that's filled to the brim with strange insights, and people falling down all kinds of weird rabbit holes. In this case, we've got a promising concept of a pizza delivery dude (apparently Rami Malek), who ends up navigating a world of different horror movies. Fun stuff.
This DoorDash employee was trying to figure out what happened to the extra compensation they were promised. It would appear that the promise was as good as empty air, nothingness, cause it never came around to be fulfilled. Nope. No extra compensation. Instead, a frustrating, grueling process experienced by the hard-working DoorDash employee to try and get the money that they'd been assured would be provided.
If you're gonna be really serious to your server and demand that they bring you a beer with every passing, then get ready for your wallet to explode. It's hard to tell what this guy's goal was, but his words were the nails in the coffin. The service industry is at times lawless and full of characters, so you get a lot out of tales from servers who have seen it all.
This Pizza Hut employee decided to return a customer's rather ridiculous question, with a ridiculous answer of their own. It would appear that that decision resulted in some brain short circuiting, and the customer ultimately taking offense. Hopefully the Pizza Hut employee managed to take some fun out of it.
Someone on AskReddit asked for pawn shop owners to describe the best reactions they've seen from people that tried to sell worthless stuff. People are prone toward losing their minds, when they find out that that possession they were trying to sell, is in fact worthless to the pawn shop owner. It can be a humbling process.
Pizza delivery employees are out there hustling, keeping the hungry folks fed. A big shout out and thank you to everyone out there on the grind. These tales from pizza delivery employees capture some of the strange encounters that have been had by people working on delivering pizza during the time of the Coronavirus. It's a strange environment, indeed. Make sure to tip those pizza delivery dudes extra! Everyone stay safe, and keep those hands washed! Also, check out the CDC for the latest updates.
