customers

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. 

Anyone who's ever muddled through a customer service job knows that it comes absolutely stuffed with emotional outbursts from customers who just want to be mad at the world. The poker face that one must develop and consistently put on every day for a shift, can be soul-draining at times (if not all the time). Find solace in relating to these memes about the grind, and know that you're not alone!  

And here are some more work memes for you to check out. 

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.

Well, when you can't treat people like human beings, you end up leaving looking like carrot top. This hairstylist even went above and beyond having to deal with this lady's demands! For another satisfying customer service story, here's a cashier who lives out the retail dream by telling off a Karen and living.

A young woman tweeted out a wonderful, wholesome little encounter she had with another customer at Starbucks. Sounds like the guy was with his wife and having a great day, and his day got even better when he proceeded to hold hands with a couple strangers and score a free drink in the process. A solid example of turning an awkward situation into a great day. 

Customers can suck, and it's rare for anyone in service or retail tolive their dream of getting revenge. You wouldn't think people would get this upset over french fries, but this kind of crap happens every day. Also, that's incredibly bold on the part of this woman to go so far to make fries an impossibility. That's a real power move.

We're always happy to see a rude customer get theirs. Anyone benefitting from this angry dude's misfortune is just icing on the cake. For another story about a customer getting humbled, check out the story of when a blatantly rude Chinese customer didn't know the cashier speaks mandarin Chinese.

Here are the stories of cashiers, customer service reps, delivery drivers, service people and retail workers of all stripes who had to deal with the dumbest, most irrational, and outright furious customers to grace the planet. Man, these people suck. We understand why you'd be mad if a company actually wronged you, but to make impossible demands and turn into an abusive monster is completely out of the question. Here's a story of a cashier who talked back to a Karen and lived.
