Cashiers Share Crazy Retail Customer Moments (r/AskReddit Top Posts | Reddit Stories)

cashiers of Reddit what was the worst time you blew up on a customer at a pawn shop the lady paid me with the $20 and I gave her change she flipped up because she knew she'd given me a $100 bill she screamed cursed and called me every name in the book just lost her mind the whole time she's saying she knew she paid with a $100 bill be she just put one in her wallet earlier I asked Tara peated Lee to just check her wallet then to see it the $100 bill was still there or not she just kept yelling she didn't need to check because she knew she'd given it to me eventually she checked in all the anger just blew out of her she was mortified the $100 bill was there [ __ ] I work at Disney World one time I had a particularly rude guest and the end I told them to have a great day not a magical day well you just magically lost your job when I worked at Subway in high school there was this guy in his 30s that came in with his wife almost every day he was a big dog and talked to you like an idiot not because he was in a bad mood either because he thought it was funny to be enough sir kids working fast food jobs one day I had enough and took his sandwich I was in the middle of making and spiked it into the garbage cannon told him to duck off he told me I couldn't talk to customers that way and I told him I just did you [ __ ] he called the owner and dropped my name we had nametags and she told him that if I blow up on him like that it was probably deserved and asked him to not return I for sure thought I was fired lucky for me the owner knew exactly what customer she was talking to a newly good enough to know it takes a lot to get me irritated and that I wouldn't do something like that for no reason I was working at a coffee shop in a busy downtown area there was a businessman that was notorious for being abusive with our staff one morning he came in and ordered a coffee and a cranberry scone we happen to be out of cranberry scones that day and when I informed him of this he flew off the handle and started swearing at me I looked him square in the eye and said you're a grown man throwing a temper tantrum over a cranberry scone sort your life out either then calmly turned to the next customer the next day he apologized and was never a problem again this wasn't me but I was involved when I was in high school I worked at a shoe store the one with that ducking prize wheel from how we did this buy one get one half off sale all the time the way it works is you buy more expensive pair and you get the cheaper of the two half off otherwise we'd lose money so this woman comes in and buys two pair of kid's shoes looks at the receipt and thinks that $50 is too much for her smaller child so she returns them she then proceeds to flip out because the difference for the other pair came out of the refund I called the manager and he came up and she says he's a foster kid he's not worth a $50 pair of shoes stop trying to rob me and give me my ducking money so manager refunded her the entire billon took both pair of shoes and walked off we all gave her the silent treatment until she left angrily I feel bad for both children and her husband who were just standing there quietly the day I quit my job last year I knew in the morning I was quitting that denned in the morning one of the edgiest customers came in complaining about a product not working yet again this was just a regular occurrence that happened with this particular customer after about half an hour I just told her to go and duck herself and I can be asked listening to her anymore I then proceeded to call my boss and tell him I quit I honestly don't remember this but my co-workers do and apparently was a customer yelled at me go to hell and I yell back I'll see you there my sis and I say this to each other a lot for funsies and it's the only reason I believe I may have said this to an inroad customer but one I did remember was a customer brought up a sandwich that apparently looked awful to her she held it out to me and said would you eat this and without missing a beat I said yes that shocked her into silence for a good few seconds I was being honest the sandwich looked fine to me I was a server years ago in this woman usually a pretty nice lady comes in and apparently we had messed up her salmon a few days prior so the manager had given her a free meal card which is good for one single meal well a few days later she comes in with at least 15 people about an hour before we closed and they all order seafood and steak and wine and her whole party is awful to me and my friend who is another server one guest even through his plate on the ground breaking it and throwing food all over because his steak was overcooked after all of this the other server went to take the woman her check and it was a couple hundred dollars and she whips out the free meal card the server takes it to the register comps one of the meals often comes back with the new total and the woman loses it I have a free meal card this was one meal for all of us it should be free and the server just stiffens up and politely explains that that isn't how it works and stresses that she had to have known that she couldn't have brought 15 people in here and expected free meals for everyone the woman stands up and pulls her red wine all over my friend and my friend just goes what the duck and runs to the back to get the manager she kept her calm honestly but the manager flipped and told her to get the hell out and never come back that was a crazy night I had a guy come through my register once wanting to put some stuff on his store credit card he didn't have a card or any ID so I couldn't drink him through technically I could but against salt he started screaming at me saying that everyone knew him there ran out he was a regular I was at my job for over a year and never saw that man once in my time working there before this incident I told him no I couldn't win him through without the card or ID but I could hold his stuff at register until he comes back he proceeded to get more belligerent and in my face so I told him in an assertive tone you need to leave you can't be yelling at staff he leaves then comes back an hour later to buy his stuff but still no I deal card I proceeded to tell him I can turn him in against so he starts screaming bloody murder wanting the azzam to come stupid azam has no spine and tells me to ring the guy through then goes back to the floor or wherever he was before as soon as the Azzam left I told the customer to leave and that he wasn't welcome at the store anymore never saw him again after that not cashier Bert now ex bartender and this was a while ago so I may not have everything that said 100% correct right after we closed one Friday or Saturday night I was sent to sweep up a broken glass that happened to be next to a table where a couple of girls were still sat finishing their last drinks the DJ had just stopped playing music bouncers were in the process of asking everyone to leave a lot of the broken glass happened to be underwear one of the girls was sitting so I politely said please can I ask you to move so I can sweep up this broken glass she gave me a really dirty look down to her drink through her glass on the floor next to her so I now had twice as much to sweep up and said you can't make me move anywhere each get out were closed and I already asked you politely my manager heard came over and asked what happened I told him and he just went okay you're barred to the girl it was so satisfying when she tried arguing with him and he got the bouncers to escort her from the building I only ever lost it on a customer once when I was working at an office supply store customer was one of those self-important money pusher types came in during the lunch rush on a day when we were short-handed he wanted to buy a phone I normally would have helped him but I was stuck on register I did everything I could to help this guy anyway when I was finally able to focus on him exclusively he launched into a lecture along the lines of how he specifically was the most important person in the store and I lost it I barely remember what I said to guy I now I tried to walk away first but he pushed it I ended up tearing into him so badly he basically ran from the store and the assistant manager on duty was too stunned to do anything about the incident I hated that job quit not long after I don't know how fast-food places find workers people are so rude to look it blows my mind it's almost like some people go to fast-food places with the mindset that they are going to be [ __ ] oftentimes they can't find workers or they burn through them really quickly the ones left are just the ones broken desperate or masochistic enough to stay source a cashier at a fast food place I work on customer services in a retail shop and have to do a lot of refunds it's the store policy that we don't refer anything unless the customer has a receipt so I have to deal with a lot of angry customers if they really pissed me off when they walk off I do at and I'm reading out the policy so they hear it as they leave the shop a woman wanted to budding line to purchase a banana in a busy express accessible queue I asked her to go take her proper place after budding a customer in a wheelchair and she said go to hell I replied after you last night actually I work at a hotel and around 10:30 issue woman called down very upset about noise from outside the hotel is downtown and it was Saturday night and also for stroke 20 people were partying anyway she tells me to fix it now and I inform her that noise ordinance for our city as far as private residences go doesn't kick in until midnight so I can't do anything until then as far as calling the cops goes I offer to move her to a different room on another side of the hotel away from the noise source she refuses saying it was late she demanded I come up with another solution I tell her there isn't one I can call the cops but they won't do anything until at least midnight probably later I can tell her that we have other rooms in quieter area of the hotel but she begins to shout that she doesn't want to move and just wants me to make them be quiet this is when I flipped I didn't yell at her but I said something along the lines of mom I have offered you the only solution I have to this problem and you have refused it twice at this point I can't do anything to help you she blew up and threatened to call our corporate office and I told her she was welcome to do that that I looked forward to speaking with them and gave her my name then I hung up on her not the most entertaining but god damn was that frustrating I was once a cashier at a smaller little store I was doing my usual routine helping customers when this couple walks in it was a slow day so I just happened to notice them as I'm sort of walking around asking if anyone needs help with anything I see the couple from earlier just crashing their shopping cart into everything we have this stand up that held almost a hundred sunglasses and they just rammed right into it I asked the lady why she did that and she just stares at me for a solid five seconds then spits in my face and flips me off I lost my sheet nobody does that to me I duck in tackled DeRay serves her right in the end they just ended up getting kicked out by my manager I used to work out CBS one day I had a customer who was incessantly complaining about how the toothpaste he was buying was a lot cheaper at Walmart he even pulled out his phone and showed me a chart that compared the prices of it at different stores I didn't blow up on him really I just acted very uninterested and said go to Walmart then one of my favorite times when I was working at Walmart in the deli some itchy woman said something like why can't you make the chicken like they do at Price Chopper it's way better and I just said go there they're like why would I give a single solitary duck law it wasn't me but I was part of it this customer was eating our buffet for a sport game of some sort it had wings pretzels mozzarella sticks et Cie this huge man comes in and he get the buffet him and his date eat about 5:00 stroke 6 plates worth of food the guy came up to me and said the food was not that good and he was not willing to pay the $30 ish for the two buffets when it was no good I then grabbed our manager a total barter he was awesome I could tell stories about him all day and he told him off so hard explaining that he had so much food and didn't complain when people checked on him et Cie the guy was so baffled that we didn't just straight-up Conchas meal he didn't know what to say if I remember correctly this guy was on a date with a fairly new woman two great early impression Dimas made I work in an anime store in the mall one of the things we have is a wall of pop fungus this guy brought up like 10 - the register and was just being ridiculously impatient the entire time our cash register is a little more than a calculator so punching and each thing can take some time before I even hand him his receipt he shouts at me saying can I get a duck ein bag question mark so I said we don't have any watching him waddle out of the store with ten pops stacked high made me feel better I worked in the tech shop at a computer a customer came to the counter was unhappy and ended up fighting in my managers face my normally comics Army Ranger manager reaches over the counter grabbed the guy by the collar and told him he has ten seconds to leave the store or he will be leaving by ambulance the general public is terrible one time I was working the register at chick-fil-a wasn't having a bad day at work the register was fun anyway this middle-aged woman comes up to my post with equally aged men on either side of her she starts ordering I'm punching in things as usual now the restaurant had this piece of protocol in which you confirm the desired items as you punch them in just helping the customer be absolutely sure about their order and that I put it incorrectly I punched something in and try to confirm the previous item sparking a rather annoyed yes duck no I wasn't getting paid to be itched out for doing what I'm told I knew I had to shut her attitude down before it got worse so I responded with I'm just checking in an equally annoyed tone we then made eye contact her expression borderline angry and mind vacant and blank I didn't want to escalate the situation with my facial expression the transaction proceeded without incident I get that what I did was tame but it takes a lot to get me yelling especially at someone else that was basically my version of a low-level free count thought a guy was trying to pull the old I gave you a $20 routine when I handed him back his change we went back and forth I demanded he turn out his pockets to prove he wasn't bulleting me nearly came to blows turns out I dropped the $5 I owed him on the floor when I took the bills out of the drawer I was super sleep-deprived and didn't notice I was the [ __ ] sorry man it was my last day of working in a common retail chain 20 minutes before my shift ended I was helping a middle-aged woman do a return and exchange with coupons she was getting agitated because our coupon policies are very strict and she was giving me attitude I looked at her straight in the iron took a deep sigh this is my last day I'm supposed to leave in five minutes without smiling she immediately became quiet and was way more cooperative [Music] you
