32 People Are Sharing Their Funniest Or Most Bizarre Customer Encounters In This Viral Thread Had a lady order an egg sandwich. I told her she had her option between one or two eggs on the sandwich. She kept saying she didn’t understand and I was running out of ways to explain “one or two eggs”. I even explained that we cook eggs in egg rings on the flat top grill so they fit the sandwich perfectly. She then sighed like I was dragging out an unfunny joke and went “WHAT DO YOU MEAN ONE OR TWO EGGS?” “I mean you get to choose how much egg you want on the sandwich.” “scoffs again How big are they?” “….egg. Sized?” “WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT”. I ended up going to the kitchen and taking a raw egg out of the carton and bringing it to her. “This is an egg. This is the standard size. We will cook one or two of these and put it on your sandwich depending on which option you order.” “This makes absolutely no sense. I want to talk to the manager”.

Apparently she ended up telling my manager that the way I pronounce egg was what was throwing her off. It should be said as eh-g and never as aig. She would be dining elsewhere from now on

32 People Are Sharing Their Funniest Or Most Bizarre Customer Encounters In This Viral Thread It was a saturday night and the restaurant is full windows, on a busy corner. A car didn't make the turn and drove into a house, but there was a drop so you couldn't see the car. The police/firetruck/ambulance all came. They were there for at least over a hour trying to figure out how to get the car out, and the police cruisers kept on their lights. So a saturday night dinner with red and blue lights covering the whole restaurant. Most guests found it entertaining except one table called me over.

"Could you do something about the those lights?"

I thought she was kidding and laughed but her face was dead serious. I'm also clearly the only server on, also making all the drinks, with a full room. "That's police ma'am, i'm not going across the street to tell them to turn off their lights. You can go ahead, though." The rest of the table giggled but she wasn't amused lol.

She then proceeded to ask how I planned to fix it. "Ma'am if I could fix the weather I wouldn't be working here but I am happy to include a bloody mary to drown your sorrows" she did not understand and honestly thought I could fix it. Once she realized I couldn't she started asking us to comp her room............ due to the weather not being to her liking.

I am in Florida. A friend was a beach-side bartender for a while. He had a woman complain bitterly to him that the sun wasn't setting over the ocean. He tried to explain that the ocean in question was the Atlantic, which is on the EAST. She didn't care. He offered to make it up with a sunrise over the ocean, but she was having none of it. She took her business elsewhere. California I guess.

She said "That's no problem, I'll take care of it." Not only did my crab legs come out with no shell, the kitchen threw in a couple extra in case they didn't get all the meat out. The server VOLUNTEERED and got a huge tip in the process. No "shi**y manager" was involved.

I had a customer who insisted I did, so I broke the rules and explained the system to her (she had figured it out partly by coming in every day). She accused me of lying and was going to report me to my boss. I told her my boss didn't want me to tell her the secret AT ALL, and so she threatened to report me to the founder of my company, "Sam Cinnamon," who was one of her childhood friends. (The company was founded by Ted and Joyce Rice - hence the "TJ.")

Not a restaurant but a wildfire. Someone got my number. I usually didn't deal with the public but it was a quiet moment so I asked what was on his mind. Said we were a bunch of idiots. All we had to do to stop the fire was fly along the edge and throw grenades at it and then afterwards have crews plant wildflowers in the holes. Was *really* upset when I told him we were not going to do that.

Good god, it sounds like hyperbole. "That guy's so dumb, he would try to douse a fire with a box of grenades."

I've worked customer service before at Wal-Mart. My favorite story is when a girl tried to return a used pregnancy test and then proceeded to ask in an indignant tone why we didn't take them back. She was informed that it was a biohazard and whatever the issue was (God help me I didn't ask or want to know) she had to contact the company about it.

Waiting tables, a group of 8 asked for boxes towards the end of their meal. All going well, we were friendly and chatty as I brought the boxes back, and helped pack up and clear plates. The woman who had been the most talkative with me - to the point that she wasn't paying attention - again asked if she could get a box, too. I pointed roughly towards the table where her empty box had been waiting nearly just in front of her and replied "You've already got a box." Her jaw dropped and her face turned to horror before she started spouting bewildered anger at what I had just said. Myself and everyone else at the table were baffled by her sudden change, ranting furiously at me for being so offensively rude until another guest pointed out the empty box beside her. Apparently she thought I was talking about her vagina, and she went from being offended at my vulgar comment to being embarrassed that she was the only one vulgar enough to immediately think of a vagina when a stranger says box.

I've been an RN for 30 years. It has never been crazier dealing with the public. I gave up and retired. The world has gone stark raving mad. I feel for anyone working customer service.

Boy could we tell each other some tales! Customer service has got to be the wort job on earth - but is is quite entertaining to overhear how stupid some (all?) people can be!

Can I tell on myself here? I once ordered a Famous Blended Coffee Drink from Famous Coffee Chain. Normally these are *very* sweet, but this one was a little bitter (I think they forgot to add the vanilla syrup) so I went back and said, "I know how stupid this sounds, but my coffee tastes too much like coffee. Could I have it remade, please?" We all chuckled at the ridiculousness of it, but the remade one was perfect.

Fortunately as someone who goes to restaurants a lot (like >1x week) - and by which i do not mean takeout joints - which we do not call restaurants - ... I've never seen this level of stupid or entitlement. I'd definitely have to intervene to defend the poor waitstaff. Gah.

I work for a bank and I started a twitter account just to talk about the stupid s**t I hear daily from customers. For instance, I've literally been asked by someone to 'put money into' their account because they were out. They thought I could just put it in at will for them. I've been yelled at on a daily basis for asking verifying questions to PROTECT YOUR MONEY. Had someone mad because she couldn't see all of her bank accounts (meaning from all of her banks) in the online banking at our bank. It's nuts. Nevermind 30 year olds who don't know their social security numbers or people who ask what an insufficient funds fee is (it says right in the title).

That's it... I'm opening a restaraunt called NAR (NOT always right) and there will be a disclaimer on the door, in the ads , everything, that says "Here the customer is NOT always right, if you Karen or Chad out, if you demand a refund and especially if you ask stupid questions you will get yelled at and made fun of and quite possibly thrown out....You've been warned."

I could not work in customer service ever - I would be using nasty words and restraining myself from slapping the stupid out of somebody. Kudos to you who work there your days must be so draining - and how you keep strait faces and warm smiles I don't know! I know no one can be paid enough to your job!
