I work in the billing department for a major cable company. During the shooting in San Bernardino the other day, a customer calls in to dispute her bill. She has me on speakerphone, and her job is keeping a lieutenant informed on what’s going on. She decided that during the crisis was the BEST possible time to call her cable company to yell at a customer service representative about how she hasn’t paid her bill in full like ever. I ended up on that call for an hour and a half because she had to put her phone down to talk to the lieutenant. Our calls are supposed to be less than 10 minutes.
Old People Restaurant Scam
You know the scam. Whine about perfectly good food to get some sort of comp.
In their old age, my parents befriended another older couple who would pull this stunt everywhere they went. After my mother told me a few stories about how their new friends had shown them how to get discounted or free meals, I felt like I was suddenly the responsible adult, concerned about the bad influence these people were on my parents.
While visiting my parents with my girlfriend, this other couple attended dinner with us. As I expected, the food was brought to the table and they immediately began dramatically complaining to one another about the quality/taste/temperature/etc. They were making a scene in order to attract the attention of the waitress. When our waitress returned to ask how we were doing, the miserable old bastard who played the lead role in their act took a deep breathe, struck a dramatic pose (with his hand raised to begin gesticulating for emphasis) and bega–I leaned forward and cut him off before he could finish the first word: “Everything is absolutely fantastic. It’s all great! Thank you very much!” She smiled, and began her obligatory “Great, well if you need any–” when he made a second attempt. “We come here all the time an–”. I didn’t acknowledge that he was speaking at all, repeated that all was just as we ordered and thank her again.
He was stunned and thrown off from his routine by my interruption. During this pause the waitress walked away (It seemed clear that she knew what they were trying to accomplish). He turned bright red. I turned to my girlfriend and, smiling and without lowering my voice, stated how pitiful it is that some people could be dishonest, deceitful and put at risk the livelihood of a cook, server or hostess for a pathetic discount or a free early-bird special. My passive-aggressive reverse-parenting broke my parents of the habit in short time.
Petty Revenge: Your daily dose of the best petty revenge stories. | cr
So I officially resigned at Walmart today and it felt so good. I can start my new career without being stressed out by that place anymore.
...also I have a job interview for a salaried position at a Fortune 500 this week.
Please keep your fingers crossed, guys!

I actually had a satisfying moment tonight. This older gentleman came through my lane, saying he “forgot the $10 coupon at home”, and could I scan one for him. Well, that coupon doesn’t come out until Wednesday, and today is Sunday, so I explained to him that it wasn’t even out yet. He got mad that it showed up in his newspaper (which it didn’t it comes out in the Wednesday ad), and shouted “I’ve been shopping here for 30 years and you can’t give a loyal customer his coupon?!” I stated once more that it wasn’t even out until Wednesday and since he didn’t have it in hand anyway, I have nothing to scan for him. He pulled the typical “I am so tempted to just walk out right now” baloney, and I silently smiled and held my hand out for his cash. After paying he demanded to talk to a manager, so as sweet as honey I told him “ let me call her up for you!” Lo and behold, she told him the exact thing I had, and he tried the “I been shopping here 30 years!” line but it didn’t work. So, yeah. I got to smile and tell someone NO, and it was great!
So I was ringing up a woman, and she informed me that the York Peppermint Patties were on sale three weeks ago but we were out of stock, and now she wanted me to give her the sale price from three weeks ago.
I asked if she had a raincheck.
No, of course she didn’t.
I explained in so many words that she was shit outta luck, because we can’t modify prices without a raincheck. The system tracks price changes, and if there’s not a corresponding raincheck or coupon in the drawer to explain the change, we can get in trouble.
She didn’t like that, and asked to speak with the manager. We know how that song and dance goes: I paged up the manager, and he told her exactly what I’d told her.
She didn’t get really angry, but she was obviously annoyed. She left the Yorks on the counter, promised us she was going to call corporate, and walked out of the store.
What the actual fuck. She really believed she could just ask for prices from three weeks ago, and I would just do it for her. Like, really, truly, honestly, sincerely believed that request was OK and not in any way strange or stupid. What’s next, going to a gas station and telling them that gas was five cents a gallon in 1923, so that’s the price you want to pay now?

Do customers realize that fruits and vegetables are not permanently in season all year round? Your berries are 7 dollars because it’s the end of December. Duh.

Am I wet? Am I on my period? Did I pee my pants?- next on wtf is going on down there.
I’m so glad this is a universal wondering among vagina-owners
and also, why do sometimes think i must be bleeding or something really bad and run to the toilet and then hardly nothing has happened, and other times i think “i’m fine” and then later realise there’s blood everywhere?
that vagina-owner feel
Does anyone have any rants for me??
I had a customer coming back with a smashed pinata complaining that it was a little bit broken when she bought it?
Why would you buy it then? Why did u not exchange it BEFORE u smashed it??

Say hi to Harper, the cutest 4 year old Chihuahua mix that has ever lived (and my only Black Friday buy). (at McKamey Animal Center)
He’s cute, congratulations on your new baby!

It's a strange comfort, but also an extreme disappointment that the ignorance, stupidity and rudeness of people exists beyond working as a barista at a coffee shop. For those of you who work in retail and massive supermarkets, you're in my prayers. The struggle is real over there. Thank you for the stories, they always make me feel better after a long, hard, day at work. (Also, do crazy people at coffee shop stories apply? I have plenty to share.)
Hey, thanks for the kind words! And yes, I’ll take any submissions dealing with any kind of customer interaction.
there are some typos you let slide, but saying that donald trump was “surprisingly clam” in an interview instead of “calm” is not one of them
So, I work at a movie theater in the South. Not saying where or which one, but it’s important to know that fact in terms of understanding how this happened.
I was taking my break in our little sitting area, eating my lunch and checking my phone, generally minding my own business. The next thing I know, this angry man comes up and starts arguing with two other employees. Apparently, he had been kicked out of the theater beforehand for bringing a gun onto the premise. He had a license for it, which was his main argument, but we have a sign outside stating that firearms are prohibited on the property.
Anyway, he literally stands there and argues with the employees for a good ten minutes over his right to bring a gun to a fucking movie theater (at one point even asked to speak to a manager, only to be told by slightly smug smiles, that they were in fact managers). He claimed to formerly work security for some company so he knew “all the regulations” of carrying a gun, and complained that since we didn’t have an official plaque from the state of Texas or something that it wasn’t illegal for him to have a gun.
He ended up backing down in the end, accepting the fact that he was not allowed to be armed while in the theater, but I still can’t believe the fuss he put up. To bring a loaded weapon to a movie theater, of all the fucking places, with all the shootings that have happened in the past few years. And the lack of reaction from everyone too. It didn’t phase me at the time, but the more I sat back and thought about it, the more I realized just how calm everyone was about the situation. Me, the managers, the other employees. It was treated like someone trying to sneak a bag of candy in their purse, not a loaded weapon.
I mean, he didn’t seem like he was going to start shooting, and he didn’t have his gun on him anymore when he was arguing with the managers. But still, it’s crazy to think about.
I guess that’s Southerners for you.
