A Classic Idiot Customer

Folks, this is why you should never make financial decisions while you are red hot angry. I will also be fair. I respect, to a point, why the customer was angry, because to a point it was a silly company policy that made this situation blow up. Although I shouldn’t call it silly, its a legit tactic to avoid losing money. The tactic? The first rep you talk to often doesn’t have the authority to…

Idiot Customer:*swaying an item around as I'm scanning her other items* C'mon it's not heavy!

Me:'Yes it isn't. But you swinging it around like that is making this more difficult than it needs to be Sharon.'

Have you ever been in the position where you want to tell someone to fuck off, when they blatantly ignore a question asked directly 4 different times? 

Where you want to respond with:

Dear asshole, since you ignored my question on four different occasions our communication ended the second you read this line.

Stupid customer: (southern drawl) "I'd like two for..uhh.. The Mar-TAINE" Me: : "BaHAHAHAHA,.... ahem I'm so sorry sir did you mean The Martian?"

Stop Smoking

For the last goddamn time, stop smoking when you go through drive thru. It's incredibly rude (and illegal), and since I have some mild asthma, I tend to go into coughing fits if you blow smoke into my face.

I will take obvious breaths behind the window, and hold it when I hand your change out, and not talk at all, because you're being an inconsiderate jackass.

I should talk to a manager about maybe getting a sign put up on our window that says "Thank You For Not Smoking" or the like...

Counting Change

I'm on front counter, taking orders like a boss. A man walks in and orders some food. Not much, about three dollars worth. Then proceeds to produce a pocket full of change and hands it to me and says "This should be enough."

I will give him this, and only this. At least he came inside instead of going through drive thru.

Now, if his change was just quarters, it would have been fine. Hell, I was low on quarters for my drawer. But nope. Mostly dimes and nickels, and some pennies. So I count it all, then I put it in the register.

Fairly typical, but the customer has the NERVE to tell me "Next time you should count it this way, it's faster."

. . . I can count change faster my way then having to learn some stupid system of your's, jerk. My coworkers come to me when they need to figure out change for a customer who suddenly decides to give some change with their order. I can do this.

And you know what else idiot customer? It would have been even faster if you saved your changed in a jar to bring to Coinstar, and paid like a goddamn adult with paper money or a card.

Next time, if I recognize you, and you try this again, I will purposely count your change even slower.

We Don't Sell Burgers Here

A customer comes through the drive thru. I'm in grill, but I can hear them as I'm wearing a headset. It's about an hour until we close.

My coworker asks them "How may I help you?"

The customer goes "Is it too late to get a burger?"

v.v

No sir, we just answered you for shits and grins. We're not selling burgers here at McDonalds. We're just asking what you want because we want to crush your spirit.

Selects

Customer: Do you guys still have the Selects?

Me: No sir, I'm sorry, we don't offer those any more.

Customer: Okay...can I get them in a meal?

Me: I'm sorry, we don't offer the Selects in a meal or by themselves.

Customer: Oh, can I get some Selects by themselves then?

Me: ...We do not have Selects.

The customer who was handing me her cash at the window heard my side of the conversation, and was laughing her ass off about it. Another coworker with a headset was laughing too. This guy just could not get this through his head.
