It's moments like this that keep our faith in humanity going. A donut shop owner addressed a customer's angry review with nothing short of pure and unadulterated badassery. It's way easier to be nicer to each other, so let's do it more often!

If you half-ass some oversized luggage into an overhead bin, bully a flight attendant and then remain totally noncompliant while they try to solve your issue, don't be surprised if they pull a power move on you. Most customers have a some decent idea of how not to be a bad person, but horrible customers will lie to scam companies out of washing machines, and even mistake bystanders for employees. For those having to deal with the customer service life, here are some too-relatable customer service memes.
This young employee asked whether it was wrong to toy with the emotions of overly dick-ish customers by getting fake fired in front of them. It seems like a pretty harmless practice and gets bad customers to rethink their roles. We wonder what would happen if a customer just said "good!" People have ways of dealing with bad customers like this flight attendant who handled a problem flyer or this donut shop owner responding to a bad review with humility.
In what world does someone think that if they complain about their new washer being broken that they'll get a second one and just get to have two washers? Seriously. Customers can be a handful but sometimes people get through to them with an honest approach. For when you can't, here are some customer service memes to help laugh away the pain.
Why does nobody listen to experts? The tree removal company told this guy what the deal was, he didn't listen, and lo and behold, gets to pay more money for a tree and a deck. Customers can get pretty dumb, like the time this landscaper handily dealt with a customer who demanded her kids get her discount.
Chill vegan/Twitter user @kim_crawley, took it upon herself to break down how silly the lawsuit being made by an angry vegan against Burger King actually is. The angry vegan in question is alleging that Burger King served them a contaminated "Impossible Burger" because they prepare the meal on the same surface as other meat-based meals.
Was this guy actually upset with his burgers or was he trying to just get free ones? Some people are really touchy about their food and would prefer to have a terrible tasting blackened burger than a delicious and still safely cooked one. The fact remains that this cook made sure he wouldn't have to complain ever again. Some customers will never learn, but sometimes it works to be honest with awful customers.
We get that all the promotions are annoying, but it's just someone's job and you don't have to go out of your way to make someone's job harder. And if in fact you are a jackass about it, don't go trusting them with your movie-going experience. In rare moments in customer service, waiters and servers deliver clapbacks as well.
Someone on AskReddit asked for waiters/servers to share their most satisfying and savage clapbacks to unruly customers. The armies of Karens weren't ready to meet their match with these members of customer service that quite frankly, had had enough. Everyone has their breaking point, and rude customers will themselves into forgetting that eventually someone's going to check them on their entitled BS.
Getting pushed around at your job by awful customers is one of the worst parts of any customer-facing job. That's why it's so damn satisfying to see your boss actually stand up for you and deliver a finishing blow. Some bosses are incompetent, but more sympathetic ones can save your skin.
Imgur user Hymeria told some misadventures from working at a movie theater. Honestly, there are too many stories of entitled customers and various terrible customers being kicked out for their nonsense. Working with the general public allows you to meet incredibly nice people, but also the most petty, entitled and miserable people in the world.
On one hand, having to call customer service, especially for a telecommunications company, can be a time wasting slog. On the other hand, some customers just call customer service for an opportunity to scream at someone. In this case, this woman would rather scream and demand a 500 MB plan rather than actually listen, so things didn't exactly end in her favor.
There are some delusional customers out there. Luckily, sometimes bystanders have sympathy for employees who have to deal with a freaking out Karen and decide to get some petty parking revenge in response. When this guy noticed his favorite gas station attendants getting bossed around, he decided to take some extra time.
Sometimes people manage to play themselves, and the results are satisfying. Anyone who works in retail or the service industry can recall a time when they had to deal with an entitled customer. Rarely these interactions end in the favor of the employee, but sometimes they do, like this time a woman freaked out at Chuck E. Cheese, or the time this Karen ended up paying for her coupon.
This butcher's stories of muddling through an everyday existence with some seriously grueling customers, will deepen your appreciation for just how tough a day working customer service can get. Some people think that they can say whatever they want, or just not think at all, just because they're customers. And we're grateful this dude's using his Facebook page to air out some of his ridiculous experiences with truly nightmarish customers.
You better believe that an older woman at a gated community club could literally get offended by the prospect of an employee grabbing a cup of coffee. We applaud such a graceful solution that left a Karen so goddamned angry over nothing but her own misplaced sense of superiority.
