Twitter Throws A ‘Customers Suck’ Party And Shares The Ridiculous Stuff We Get Asked
If you've ever worked retail or fast food, get ready to join hands with the good people of Twitter to bash the customers who made our jobs all the more terrible. Thanks to them, we're always so absurdly nice to workers because we know exactly what it's like to go in the back and scream.
Twitter user @isabelzawtun threw a "customers suck" party where she asked Twitter to share the most ridiculous things they've ever been asked in their years in customer service. And things got very weird, very quickly, but I'm just glad I wasn't the only one dealing with nut bars.
Ma'am, The Only Free Rides In Life Are Family, Friends, And Cop Cars
This is absolutely wild, but it gets even worse since @isabelzawtun writes that "she framed this like a GREAT opportunity for me bc she would shop with me and I would make great sales and was baffled when I said no (because I... no longer worked there)." Touché.
You Know What They Say, When In Thailand, Do As You Do In LA
Are you really surprised that this person is from LA? He knows the cutest little organic, non-GMO, vegan Thai place in the Grove, and you can bet he's going to compare every Thai food he's ever had to that standard. Even if he is, in fact, in Thailand.
This Is Taking Weather Small Talk To A New Level
Carl, this is just no good. This is the amount of motivation I have for going to the gym and sticking to my diet. I'm literally always looking for any excuse to just cancel and not go—maybe I should start calling my gym and asking if it's raining there.
To Be Fair, Aren't We All Maniacal Bring It On Again Fans Inside?
I'm sorry, but I don't see the problem with being this big of a Bring It On fan. I'm just as inspired by the dedication and hard work of those cheerleaders, and I'm willing to go to county jail for it. If loving Whittier is a crime then lock me up, judge.
Would Love To Know What Magician This Lady Had Bagging Her Groceries Before
The way this works is that if you have a lot of groceries, they're going to weigh a lot. You can either place them all in one bag or in several bags, but they're going to be heavy regardless. The only person here on Earth that can change that is her...and it's by buying less stuff.
I, Too, Would Demand A Refund From The Pie-Powers That Be
Fair play, but also, this man needs to learn there's not a great chain of pie creation in the sky that bakers get all their pies from. Has someone had the flour and egg conversation with him yet?
Iced Coffee, But Bend The Laws Of The Universe To Make It Hot
If this was my first day on the job at Starbucks, I would genuinely think this was a normal thing to get. Super-customized coffees are pretty much the norm there, so I'd be that newbie in the back steadily crying as she drops melting ice cubes into a scalding hot drink.
Take Gas Back? Get A Straw And Start Sucking
How do you "change your mind" while filling up? You either need the gas or you don't—there's no returning gas. Also, I don't know the market for secondhand, lightly-used gas, but something tells me it's not that great.
A Window Is A Door If You're Determined Enough
This lady clearly was stuck in the Harry Potter universe and got the grocery store confused with Platform 9 3/4. That, or she's the most entitled person ever. I'm hoping it's the former.
Mixing Milk Sounds Like A Personal Hell
Can you imagine if your afternoon at work was standing in front of a vat of milk and pouring a mixture of 1% and whole into it? Neither can I. Because if I did, I'd definitely vomit a lot.
Is It Bad If I Feel A Kinship With Present-Man?
This is what happens when you live alone and have low expectations for the holidays, but still want to feel the joy of opening presents. I relate so hard to this man and these feelings are the reason why I go on Amazon when I'm tipsy—what I ordered is always a surprise when it shows up.
The Bag Boy That Went Full Forrest Gump And Kept Walking
I'm glad this guy is putting a positive spin on the whole experience, because I certainly wouldn't feel super stoked about it. This sounds like Spartan training, and customer service is bad enough without having to do actual weightlifting while you're there.
We've All Fantasized About Doing This, Don't Lie
There have been a million times I wished I was as brave as this person to say this to a customer. One time I nearly did was when I was serving in a busy diner and a man criticized me for bringing out the syrup and butter before the pancakes instead of after. To this day I regret just walking away.
The Bird Whisperer
You have to respect the amount of confidence this photographer has in the abilities of this aviary worker. He fully believes that this person can summon down the wings from above like some magical pigeon lady from Home Alone 2.
I Don't Know How Her Spirit Didn't Break Like Tiny Glass From Pier One, Because Mine Would've
This. This is the absolute worst one on the list. If this lady walked into my life with this chaotic behavior, I would cry and vow never to look at another piece of glass again. I could never step into a building again. I would be useless.
Nursing More Than A Bush
What's the right way to respond when a stranger asks you this? It's a catch 22 because you can't say yes, saying no sounds like you're lying, and you can't run away or get angry. Do you just abandon all language and de-evolve back into a fish with legs?
This Man Should've "Walked The Dog" And Put This Yo-Yo Scammer To Shame
I'm 100% convinced this lady was running a yo-yo scamming business. She bought a dollar store one 10 years ago and has been trying to hustle different children's toy stores nationwide for years. Well, the jig is up, madame.
You Just Know When You've Found The Right Squeaker
Okay, this is ridiculous and a huge waste of time, but it's the level of dedication that all pet owners should have to their furry friends. I'd be willing to wade through 1,000 squeakers to find the one that best speaks to the most important thing in my life. My dog.
Vaping Or Some Delish Fajitas?
Doesn't matter if smoking has been banned in restaurants for years, this woman is still vigilant in making sure that she's not going to be sitting in a smoking section. What she should be more vigilant about is how glorious fajitas taste.
You Don't Even Have To Work Somewhere To Get Put Through BS
Gotta love how people can get so demanding when they're the customer that they're willing to rope random people into their negativity. I'm sorry ma'am, but your 16 cases of Busch Light aren't worth me throwing out my back and my positivity.
