20 Customer Service Employees Share Why They Have (Rightly) Given Up On Humanity
From restaurant to retail to hotel, if you've worked in any of the customer service industries, then you, my friends, have survived walking through hell itself.
The person who first coined the phrase "The customer is always right" definitely didn't meet these entitled shoppers.
Hotel, Motel, Holiday Inn
This Holiday Inn is fighting back and letting rude customers know what they really think of them.
I once worked the front desk at a hotel. A hunter checked in to his room and then asked if I could store a large item (wrapped in garbage bags and duct tape) in our industrial freezer. As I go to carry this item to the freezer, drops of blood start falling onto the ground. Welcome to a hospitality nightmare. If only my manager had cared as much as this one.
Idiots In Cars
You can sure find rude and idiot customers in places like restaurants and retail stores, but they also lurk in other places too, like your local autobody shop.
This customer claimed her car's turn signal was broken, but the attendant quickly learned it was because perhaps the turn signal is not the best place to hang items from.
Coupons Older Than I Am
There is a special place in hell for people who throw a tantrum when a store won't accept their expired coupon. But then there is this customer.
Is this customer going overboard attempting to use a 37-year-old coupon just to save 30 cents, or are they brilliant and frugal? We'll let you decide. All I know is, this is probably something my dad would do.
So Close, And Yet, So Far
Ask any grocery store employee, and one of their pet peeves is probably this. It's people who take items off the shelves, decide they don't actually want them anymore, and then leave them scattered throughout the store instead of putting them back.
No Becky, this four-pack of steaks does not belong in the toilet paper aisle, you idiot sandwich.
Clean-Up On Aisle Eleven
When going out in public, people have to adhere to a social contract on how to behave. When going to a clothing store, this kind of behavior is definitely under the "Don't Do This" column.
If this is the mess people leave behind in clothing stores, then I'm afraid to ask how dirty their actual homes are.
You're Screwed
Home renovations have taken off over the past two years and places like Lowe's and Home Depot are more popular than Disneyland as of late.
But we don't envy this hardware store employee who now has to sort through this box after a klutzy customer dropped a pound of screws into a box of nails. I feel like this is how those outlandish math problems begin...
The World Is My Canvas
There is nothing worse than an entitled customer, and the amount of spray paint on the floor of this hardware store tells us that many of them have walked through this aisle.
So not only do they need to work on their artistry skills, but they also should work on their manners.
A Pretty Bad Tip
Regardless of how you feel during the tipping debate, there are a lot of things wrong with this image. In lieu of a tip, these restaurant customers left behind a dirty diaper on their table.
And this is why some people should not be allowed to interact with the general public.
The Great Resignation
Fed up with poor wages and mistreatment, a lot of people are resigning from their jobs in search of better opportunities, and after seeing this restaurant sign, we don't blame them one bit.
"Would you wait on you for a 5% tip?" No? I didn't think so. So keep that in mind the next time you go to a store or restaurant and throw a tantrum that would make a toddler embarrassed.
