While working in the customer service industry, employees encounter a large number of people every day. Unfortunately, not all of them are nice. In fact, oftentimes, they have the ‘customer is always right’ mentality that allows them to get away with all kinds of ridiculous behavior.

To show how infuriating and exhausting it can get, Bored Panda has compiled a list of clients that seem to have no bounds when it comes to cluelessness. Scroll down to find them, and be sure to share your own experiences down below.

While you're at it, don't forget to check out a conversation with website optimization consultant, customer experience specialist, and developer Chérie Oduwole, who kindly agreed to share some tips on how to deal with rude customers.

Since this list is blatant proof that customers aren’t always right, let’s look at how the opposite of this phrase came to be and why it’s so important in the realm of customer service. 

The slogan is believed to have been coined by Marshall Field, who introduced this idea when he established Chicago’s first department store in 1893. Then Henry Gordon Selfridge took this concept overseas to London, where he popularized it further.

The original quote was actually longer, saying that "Right or wrong, the customer is always right." Almost 100 years later, César Ritz introduced this mentality to the hospitality industry when he founded The Ritz Carlton Hotels. 

His was a bit different, stating that "Le client n'a jamais tort," which translates to the customer is never wrong.

A Restaurant Review I Stumbled On. The Customer Is So Many Kinds Of Wrong

chassepatate Report

Before this phrase was introduced to the customer service industry, the client wasn’t exactly treated well. In fact, it was the opposite. The person who bought the product was fully responsible for inspecting its quality and reporting any problems before the item was purchased. It wasn’t up to the seller to reveal anything about the commodities they offered or provide assistance to the customer.

In Germany, it became ‘Der Kunde ist König,’ translating into ‘the customer is king.’ In Japan, the slogan reads ‘okyakusama wa kamisama desu,’ or ‘the customer is god.’ Spain has the phrase ‘El cliente siempre tiene la razón,’ implying that “the customer always has a reason."

Lady Goes To Self Checkout, Makes Attendant Unload Her Cart, Scan And Bag Each Item

Lady Goes To Self Checkout, Makes Attendant Unload Her Cart, Scan And Bag Each Item

At the grocery store, we crossed paths with the lady in white shopping and loading her cart. We go to check out, and she is there, making the self-checkout attendant unload her cart, scan, and bag each item. Then she had the attendant place the bags in her cart. Note that she had way more items than you should for self-checkout, and a recommendation was made by the employee that she consider going to the standard checkout, which had nobody in line, and she refused. Poor attendant had to stop every so often to go to every other self-checkout and do overrides and I'd checks. The customer was perfectly capable of doing all this herself.

In a former job I was category manager for a major bookshop chain. We had a popular children's book on special - reduced from $29.99 to $19.99 for a limited time. A customer rang and said she was reporting us to the Commerce Commission because she peeled off the $19.99 sticker and there was a $29.99 sticker underneath, so we were ripping people off. Ummm, ok!

This mentality doesn’t necessarily mean that customers can do no wrong. Instead, it comes from a place wanting to ensure customer satisfaction by making them feel heard and valued, says website optimization consultant, customer experience specialist, and developer Chérie Oduwole to Bored Panda. "It was put in place to encourage businesses to prioritize the customer's experience.

Customers have the power to make or break a company, so it’s important to meet their expectations. If not, they can quickly take their business elsewhere. That’s why even the most difficult customers deserve to feel seen and heard.

There seem to be a lot of unsatisfied clients. The National Customer Rage Survey found that 74% of customers had an issue with a product or service in the last year, up by 8% from 2020. A US study found that 81% of customer service employees deal with verbal abuse from clients, and 36% have even received violent threats. 43% of customers confessed to raising their voice when communicating with customer support.

Hearing out and dealing with unsatisfied customers isn’t easy, therefore, Oduwole has a few tips on how to make it more manageable. "Put yourself in their shoes, she says. "How would you want to be treated in their situation? Always respond calmly, with understanding and compassion. Ask questions to grasp the issue fully, and repeat what you've understood to ensure the customer feels heard."

I don't get people who don't throw their garbage away in general after a movie. It takes less than 5 minutes to gather up the trash and walk it out to the nearest garbage. Though I'm gonna assume the cereal eaters were high because I feel like that kind of idea doesn't occur in sober minds. I could be wrong though.

"If you cannot fulfill the customer's request because it violates your policies or isn't factually correct, present clear evidence," she further suggests. "Reference your terms of service or any other relevant documentation. Honesty is key here."

Offering different ways to address the customer's concerns can quickly de-escalate the situation, Oduwol adds.

Lastly, she emphasizes that maintaining respect is crucial when dealing with unsatisfied customers. "Remember, respect goes both ways. If the customer continues to be rude or irate, politely remind them that you're here to help and that mutual respect is necessary. If the disrespect persists, set boundaries by letting the customer know you're ending the conversation. Depending on your role, you can then escalate the issue or focus on serving other customers who are pleasant to work with."

I partly blame Google map (or it's equivalents) for this. I just parked in front of a restaurant, a pharmacy or whatever; intending to go somewhere else nearby. Moments after I drove away from there, a notification pops up "How do you rate [that restaurant] ?" Seesh, Google. Stop asking me to rate everything. To be fair, I did once rate a restaurant in Google map. Now Google assumes I want to rate every establishment I parked my car nearby.

I don’t know the country where this was taken, but here in the UK when your car is over 3 years old it has to pass a mandatory test, if caught without one the car is seized and destroyed. Don’t all countries have this in place? Genuine question.

It would help if they didn’t stock such total cràp lumber. I generally find about one in four to be useable.

It really isn't that difficult. Just put the item back on the peg with the other ones of the same color. Not sure about color blind folks, but I can guess that these are not all done by a color blind person.

If I have to go to the restroom, or to get something from my car, I take the cart up to customer service and tell them I'm leaving it there until I finish restroom or run to the car and that I will be right back. At least that's what I do, don't know about these a$$holes.

"No Tax On Tips. Vote Donald Trump"

The lady comes in and makes a big fuss about having just left church. She yelled at our host to the point where she left the floor in tears. She got mad that we had her big top set for the inside table they reserved and that she had to set up a patio table and didn't have it ready for them. In the end, she signed a check with this.

A Mixed Blessing

A Mixed Blessing

So, one of my customers came in today with the gift of a bag of morels. I was pretty happy and grateful for their finding and thinking of me. I gave him a free dessert and my thanks. As he was leaving, I got a gut feeling that he'd picked them up on my property! I work a lot, so I was waiting until my weekend to get them myself. I don't even want to think about how many I could have had, but I'm still grateful for the gift. Truly, a mixed blessing.

When You're 3 Hours Into A 12-Hour Shift, And A Customer Does This

The hinge on the door broke last night and was due to be repaired. So when a customer opened the door today, it flew backwards and hit the corner of the brick behind it. Thankfully, only the outer pane was broken. What a way to start the workday, though.

OK, but if the cart died, was the customer (who presumably is somewhat disabled) supposed to push it back to the front? Granted, it's not conveniently placed with regards to the fire extinguisher, but it's not preventing someone from getting to the extinguisher.
