Bad customer story. A woman came into the cafe, asked for a coffee with four sugars. So, I make her her coffee- we didn't have the fancy measuring machines, so it was four spoonfulls. She takes one sip, spits it out, and comes to yell at me. "Are you trying to kill me?! I'm diabetic!!" Luckily the owner (my great uncle) backed me up, but I was just... Baffled.

Okay that’s really weird bahahaha I’m sorry

My wife is working a restraunt now and they had a customer come in looking 100% like he was gonna be a problem, one of those 50 something balding dudes with his mask under his nose and all, y'know what I mean? Anyway this was during the change crisis a month or so ago, where no one had physical coins. So the guy comes in and is informed from the jump that hey, they have to round up what they're charging to the nearest whole dollar and you have to agree to it or they can't accept payment because they literally don't have any change.

The guy gets to the register with his fuckmassive burrito and is immediately offended by the price, then double offended that my wife tells him she deadass can't give him a quarter back because she doesnt have one and he needs to just accept it. Instead he spends 10 solid minutes screaming at her that there is no change shortage, that it's a hoax so companies can overcharge for food.

Ugh, no one likes being screamed at. It’s horrible. In the old days, things we couldn’t explain or didn’t understand was God or magic. Now it’s government hoaxes.

Bad customer story :)

I worked at a coffee shop and someone dropped their change on the ground and got pissed at me for not going out and picking it up for them. They asked to speak to the manager so I said that they are (I was supervisor and there was no manager there) and they kept arguing with me until they left without their 17 cents of change that they dropped

The only thing I can think of to justify that is if picking things off the ground is very difficult for you, ie a disability or you just hurt your back or something. Even then, you could just ask nicely. “Can you please help me pick this up? Thanks” is so not hard. Why can’t people just say please?

Thank you for your bad customer story! I’d love to hear more from you guys!

Bad customer story:

Used to work at a cafe. Customer asked for strawberry banana smoothie but without banana. Tried to let her know it was just a strawberry smoothie she wanted then. Insisted they were different. Long story short, charged her $2 extra for the same drink.....

That’s ridiculous thanks for that story 😂 reminds me of when my mom made us “strawberry soup” as an appetizer on thanksgiving one year. It was a fuckin smoothie in a bowl but she wasn’t having it! Kept saying “it’s strawberry soup!” It was delicious, but it was a smoothie. Must be something about strawberries idk!

Thanks for that story. I’d love if people sent me more of these! Or paranormal stuff, or random facts like we all used to do :)
