You Think Your Job Sucks? Then Take A Look At These 40 Employee Conversations With Clients From Hell (New Pics)
Everyone who has worked in retail knows that for every good customer, you get 2 horrible ones pulling up in the parking lot. It's a law. Like gravity.
But some people are so rude, so annoying, and so malicious, it's like they're on a quest to make as many workers miserable as possible. And sometimes they succeed.
When someone like that ruins your day, there's only one thing you can do. Vent online. I mean, you can't punch the jerk or anything—you're still in uniform. Pull off a stunt that damages the reputation of the company you're working for and you're out the door.
Bored Panda has compiled a list of these stories to show you that people in retail really deserve our respect; they go through these situations every day. For more similar experiences, check out our older pieces here and here.

So they went and asked to buy a calf, when they already had one in the trunk? They kidnapped this week old calf from a herd of cow, including the mom, without getting killed. They also leave open the fence, and say so, without understanding that those angry cows would be following them. I know city people can be dumb, but I don't believe this story at all.

My best friend of 33 years has owned cattle for a decade and I have to sadly agree. That calf would've been bellowing for its mother long before it was set free.

I'm guessing she wasn't actually a teenager. it takes at least a year (iirc, in my state, it takes 2 years,) to get the EMT certificate, and most people graduate high school around 18-19. Still that man clearly was lacking in any current training, and was an ass who was about to crack a poor woman's ribs in. (CPR done right will break ribs. unless it's a child. kid-bones are somewhat more flexible.). Also, an EMT will most certainly announce the fact that they're an EMT. it's probably the fastest way to get control of the situation, and get the crowd to actually do what you say, (including calling for EMS.)

Load More Replies...In our piece on some of the most ridiculous customer demands ever, we mentioned one study that's relevant here as well.
Turns out, people treat retail workers worse when they're looking for bargains than if they were less price-conscious. The University of British Columbia (UBC) Sauder School of Business paper, which was published in the Journal of Consumer Psychology in 2017, looked at several factors to determine how customers treated employees.
One variable researchers analyzed was the words customers used when speaking to customer service workers.
"When shoppers focus only on paying the lowest price, they become less attuned to understanding the human needs of others, or even recognizing them," Johannes Boegershausen, a UBC Sauder Ph.D. student who co-authored the study, said in a press release.

Researchers also analyzed customers' feelings towards the employees by showing them pictures of a flight attendant in the Ryanair (bargain) uniform, the Lufthansa (luxury) uniform, and a neutral uniform. Customers viewed the Lufthansa and neutral flight attendants as equally human, but they saw the Ryanair flight attendant in a poorer light.
"We simply varied the brand, and found that people ascribed lower capabilities for experiencing emotions and feelings to the Ryanair flight attendant," Boegershausen explained, adding that this subtle dehumanization can take many forms and is not necessarily intentional.

Hold.My.Beer. During my bartending/serving days, I had a father and his two sons come in for lunch. The youngest son definitely looked under 21 (U.S. legal drink age). So as required by law, I asked for ID when he ordered a beer. I took one look at the card and instantly knew it was fake. I told the guys the card was a forgery, I was legally obligated to confiscate it, and they were no longer welcomed at our establishment as we have a zero tolerance policy on forged IDs. Naturally, the dad lost his s**t. He was swore (literally and figuratively) the ID was real because he went with his son to the DMV to get the card. I gave him a “not today Karen” look and explained he was full of s**t because no government agency would issue a document with a date that doesn’t exist. Their software wouldn’t allow it. The card said the kid was born February 31, 1983.

Another experiment had participants communicating in a live chat with a rude customer service representative. They were then offered the chance to punish the employee through a complaint. The researchers found participants were 18 percent more likely to give a rating that would lead to disciplinary actions against the employee when shoppers were adopting a price-conscious mentality than when they were not.
The researchers say the findings could help owners and management of discount stores, as the problem could affect their employee retention—previous research has shown that employees who experience rude and inconsiderate customer behaviors report higher levels of emotional exhaustion, job dissatisfaction, and burnout.
Judging from these posts, retail employees deal with a lot of dumb stuff. At least they're strong enough to laugh from their misery.

I was about 4 months postpartum and went on a Target run. I snapped my babies infant seat back into the base and kept the door open while I put my purchases in the trunk (I was scared of locking her in the car, even though I’d already turned on the car and AC) I closed the trunk, got into the drivers seat, sat there for a bit and pulled out. Thankfully there is a stop sign in the parking lot before you get to the main exit and her door opens when I stopped. I forgot to close her door!! Like, didn’t even close it enough for it to latch. Some one was walking by and stopped as I’d jumped out of the car in a panic to close it. She said it happens and smiled. No judgement.

When I worked in a garden center, a really friendly customer laughed and told me he had just embarrassed himself at another garden center by asking employees there, “Do you have chlamydia?” He said they just stared at him for a moment, so he followed up with, “Do you know where I can find chlamydia?” He then realized that he meant to say “clematis” and immediately turned around and left. I helped him find our clematis, and, as he was leaving, said, “At least you didn’t say you were having trouble finding the clitoris!”

I would LOVE to see them make a small claims file! I worked for a company who had fired the General Manager. He was taking us to small claims court for his vacation pay. I had to go back 15 years and determine what his vacation benefits were based on length of employment and then subtract any time taken. Um, sorry Wayne - it doesn't matter that your GIRLFRIEND classified it as "personal" time - any time taken that you were paid for is a vacation day. We owed him something like $1200 (which was fair) but he insisted we owed him more like $3,500. The owner showed up at court with my well researched documentation. The judge asked this asshole if he was willing to accept the check for $1200 and call it good. Nope, he insisted he was owed the larger amount - DESPITE the fact we had paperwork to PROVE he was wrong. The judge took all of 15 seconds to dismiss the case. And Wayne got NOTHING.

Client: I need to ship CK4567YZZ Me: ok sir, can you tell me the dimensions of the that. Client: 4,5 x 2,4 meters Me: And? Client: And what? Me: I need length, width and height. Client: 4,5 Me: Sorry but we can't fit it in our trucks, max height is 2,4. Client: No no it's 4,5 long, is that too much? Me: Please sir, I need to know all three measurements. Client: 4,5 x 2,4 x 4,5 Me: So it's 4,5 meters high? Client: Of course not! It's only 15 centimeters. If you think this doesn't make sense, you're right. At lest this one was willing to give the measurements. Our customers thought that as we work in logistics, we must know weight and dimensions of every item imaginable. Later it became easier when we could google things.

worked in newspapers and you could tell the customers who were complete amateurs at advertising as they would try to pack as much verbiage in their ads as they could.

Amateurs don't understand that the point of advertising is getting people to look at the ad and then acting on it. Nobody wants to read a 2-column-inch ad packed with 5 point type. Rather than saving money, they were throwing it away on ads which could not possibly draw any business.
