I think you can tell a lot about a person by how they treat service workers. Whether it’s a waitress, a bartender, a janitor, etc. Especially if you’re out on a date with someone new or you are at a work lunch. Ugh. The people who treat them badly are THE WORST.
If you’ve worked any kind of customer service job, you know you’re always told “the customer is always right.” I remember this from jobs at grocery stores and restaurants.
But, as I’ve gotten older, I have to say I think that saying is total BS. Some customers just need to be called out and put in their places sometimes.
People shared stories on Twitter about when customers were most definitely NOT RIGHT.
1. Starting off with a bang.
2. Let me go get the pilot.
3. Not a waste of time at all.
4. Sounds reasonable.
5. Some people…
6. Are you a baby, sir?
7. This is broken.
8. There could be more.
9. I hope the dog was nice.
10. Give me the Internet.
11. Why don’t you look outside.
12. We’ll get right on that.
13. WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM US?
14. Tell no one.
15. ‘Bring It On Again’ fever.
Those tweets make me very happy that I don’t work in any kind of customer service job anymore. Yikes!
