customer service

Sometimes customers think they know what they want, and are so pigheaded that they refuse to listen to employees tell them crucial information like "the plate is hot" or "sir, you're eating plastic fruit." In this case it was a dad who demanded to use a go kart with no engine in it. For some more customer service demands, here's one where a customer demanded to speak to a man until he ended up in the legal department.

We're certainly more used to reading about tech support horror stories, but every now and again we encounter a tale that doesn't diminish our faith in humanity. Like this quick story for instance. You can vividly picture the wholesome silliness of Virginia, on the other end of the call. It definitely manages to paint a funny picture about how all this rapid technological development can manifest in the older generations helplessly trying to keep up with all the changes. 

Anyone who has ever worked a gig in the service industry knows that the job is most unfortunately stuffed to the brim with entitled customers that all seem to be on a war path towards creating as much emotional distress as possible, over a whole bunch of nothing. Because of that unfortunate and frequent predicament, many members of the service industry end up perfecting their very best "customer voices." This can get very, very exhausting after awhile.

As surprising as it might be for some folks to hear, there are wildly entitled human beings in this world that are ready to go full berserker mode over a restaurant like Olive Garden running out of breadsticks. There's something about the whole "unlimited/bottomless" promos that can end up bringing out people's most irrational and plain old rude sides. This ex general manager from Olive Garden certainly saw his fair share of low points for humanity. 

I mean, it's genuinely hard to process the fact that we do indeed share a planet with hopelessly lost souls like the one in this story. The dude literally thought he was making his hefty purchases on a credit card, when in fact it was a credit card. Like, how do you end up in that kind of self-created debacle? The recklessness of blind ignorance is a mystifying thing to behold. 

Whether Shane's a mere fictional character or not matters not, because many of us have been in a break room at one point or another in our lives where we've witnessed some passive aggressive/outwardly angry notes being left for troublemaking employees. By the looks of it, Shane seems like he might enjoy regularly creating chaos around the workplace environment. 

Anyone who has ever worked a customer service job knows that the gig can come with many a rude customer who seems bent on making your day nothing short of absolutely miserable. It's as if some people are conditioned in the worst way possible, to turn the part of their brains off that's responsible for being a decent human being, as soon as they enter a restaurant/bar. Well, this guy got put in his place, in glorious fashion. 

At the start of this tumultuous tale it does seem as if we're about to read something very gnarly. Like, maybe some kind of stomach bug situation from a salad never meant for human consumption. But alas, things don't shake out nearly as bad as you might think. Just a panicked waitress fielding the daunting realization that she'd consumed a customer's salad, that was actually going to return. 

Oh man, what a terrible loss in "business." It seems as if this world will never run out of irrational human beings dishing out wild demands. This particular "influencer" pitches a little fit, and leaves a 1-star review for a pizza joint after being rejected free pizza. Um, okay. Suffice to say, the folks in the comments section were ready to bring the extra spiciness with their feedback on her entitlement. 

The drive-thru's an absolute magnet for strange happenings. If you've ever muddled through the nitty gritty existence that can be working a customer service job you're probably well acquainted with seeing human beings make complete entitled, irrational, and outright silly fools of themselves. This collection of ridiculous memories from fast food workers and regulars alike is full of gems. 

There's nothing that quite grinds one's gears like reading about a maniacal business manager who misplaced their moral compass and decided that they'd try to take advantage of hard working employees that don't know any better. It's some of the scummiest behavior that human beings can end up subjecting other people to, especially in the service industry. The woman in this AITA story asked folks whether or not she was in the wrong for alerting her old coworkers to why she quit the gig. People seem to be in agreement that what she did was nothing but righteous.
