customers

After enough of this guy's passengers cancelled rides, he decided to call a passenger's bluff with a bluff of his own. All in all, this is probably a pretty bad idea. There's probably a better way to get someone out of your car that won't result in a possible kidnapping case, but it looks like this at least got some results. There are some folks who just don't give a heck. For more stories of customer shenanigans, here are dumb things people did in stores.

The wild Karen roams its hunting ground of the grocery store, stalking its prey, the customer service representative. The thing some Karens don't understand is that while employees are often beholden to their demands, other customers can be just as rude right back. For more Karen stories, here's a Karen that lied to a restaurant owner's face as well as a toilet paper hoarding Karen.

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.

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.

Sure, people like getting stuff for cheap and free, but when it's an entitled person who demands something for free and is also a huge ass about it, things get dicey. It can be a landlord, a potential employer, customer or just a stranger. There's entitled individuals with unreasonable demands all over the place.

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. 

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.

Having a rude Karen mistake you for a customer service person can be a huge inconvenience, but some people see it as an opportunity. This Karen got way up in a mom's face and ended up playing herself. For another one, here's a shopper who got some petty revenge on a Karen hoarding toilet paper.

This deeply dissatisfied customer sounds like they've hit their breaking point when it comes to exercising patience over an employee's painfully slow cheese cutting abilities. At the end of the day, the job might just not be a good fit for the employee. Cutting cheese isn't for everyone. 

Sometimes people feel like being a paying customer makes them impervious to criticism, but when it comes to responding to entitled customers who don't reveal the full story, the businesses themselves tend to have some pretty damning responses. Here's one where a business owner leveled with a guy who complained over a dollar taco. This one has an interesting twist regarding that pesky "voice was too high" remark.

Usually when someone mistakes a customer for an employee it's some kind of horribly entitled Karen who mistakes someone and they just roll with it, but this time it was the staff who had the customer to thank for their case of mistaken identity.

When this guy complained over a taco, the owner got realistic with him about what it costs to sell one taco for a dollar and change, especially when you bring credit card charges into it. Sometimes folks have unreasonable demands, and these entitled people need to abandon their nonsense. For a real good one, here's an entitled mom who lashed out when her babysitter got a better job.

There's nothing quite like that sweet "I told you so feeling" you get when a customer gets exactly what they wanted and learns that they screwed up. It feels good to drink in the visceral feeling of an outsmarted horrible customer. Customers are often wrong, but too few of us don't give a rip, so this kind of interaction is as rare as it is sweet.

This customer left a poor review for this mechanic without letting all the facts out. The owner responded with some pretty critical information that put the reviewer in a very different light. For another review that demanded a heavy response, here's a donut shop owner who handled a customer's angry review like a boss.
