Customer Called Out for Making Store His Personal Gem Show


It's no secret that online review sections have become a battleground of sorts between entitled customers and concerned owners with a whole lot of time on their hands. What gets sweet is when a lying customer gets taken to the cleaners, like this lying Karen who got decimated by this owner's response. For more retail stuff, here are dumb complaints employees had to deal with.

Text - Robert Hamilton R 7 reviews · 1 photo 10 months ago I have been to the store many times and spent a respectable amount of money. I came in one day with some stones and crystals to ask what they were (some of which I purchased there). The owner came out from a side-room and basically lost her mind refusing to even look at what I had. She would not even let me explain that some of my collection was purchased there. I WILL NEVER SET FOOT IN THAT STORE AGAIN. I WILL WITHER GO TO OTHER STORES

Text - I remember this sisuation well, as I was rather surprised to see you sitting on the floor in the middle of my main check out room with two rather large boxes / storage containers filled with stones that you were sorting through and spreading out on the floor. While in your review you write that you had been to my store several times you told the sales associate working that night that you lived near by and passed us often not knowing what type of business we were, and that it was your fir

Text - elsewhere, as I courtesy I told you that you could text me some photos of your collection would try to help identify some of your stones when time permitted, it was obvious that you were not happy with my response.. I think that its pretty bold for anyone to walk into any shop with items purchased from other shops and to expect service and support. you not only did this but also spread your items all over the floor in my main check out area which prevented other guests from move around fr

Dumbest Customer Complaints Employees Had to Hear


There is no pleasing some customers. Seriously, sometimes an angry, miserable, frustrating, entitled customer is just in the building to look for a fight. There are even some extremely stupid ones like when the complaining customer isn't even in the right store. Don't even think that anyone is safe from Karens online, like this lying Karen who got decimated by the owner's response.

Text - blissbali2020 4.3k points · 19 hours ago Many years back, worked for a store chain which sells all products related and connected to Nature. Among them, the Himalayan salt stone lamp. It's a stone made of salt that encases an electrical bulb. It is supposed to help for regulating ions in your home/office. A customer called us to complain that their stone disappeared at home, and asked for a refund. As open mind as I can be, I however tried to understand what she meant exactly by "disappea

Text - TrypMole 1.2k points · 17 hours ago I may have worked for the same store. We also sold bonsai trees which can be kinda tricksy to keep so you got a care leaflet with them. The leaflet said to water the tree you should immerse the pot entirely until soaked and then allow to drain completely (disclaimer: I have no idea if this advice is actually correct). Anyway customer comes in with dead tree in pot with zero soil left, ranting how the advice was terrible and demanding a refund. Turns out

Angrily: "Yeah, three Saturdays in row now I come down here at 4:30, and every fuckin' Saturday you close at 4." "Uh...yeah. We close at 4." "Fuck you." At least he left then. The worst ones don't leave. They just keep going.

Text - noodles_the_food 2.0k points · 19 hours ago I work for a popular roadside assistance company and had a guy call in wanting to get roadside assistance for his daughter who was stranded. His daughter was not on his membership and there was no room to add her because he already had his wife added. So I suggested he remove his wife for now and add his daughter so she can get roadside assistance and then switch them back afterwards. Apparently this was the most outrageous suggestion. He went a

Text - BOOMkittykitty 1.7k points · 20 hours ago I used to work at a pizza place with a small| dining room. So many people would complain that their pizza was too hot to eat. Of course it is. It just came out of the oven. This is why you chose to drive your dumbass here to eat instead of having it delivered. Because it's fresh. Fresh pizza is hot, ffs.

Text - AwkwardSara 1.6k points · 19 hours ago I was working at OfficeMax during back to school season. This woman comes up to my register with a few things and I start scanning it in. She notices the one item rang up less than she was expecting. She actually got an attitude with me because we hadn't had a chance to print new shelf tags for that aisle yet. I told her I would wait if she wanted to get more. She declined and continued complaining to me about it. I said "well I can override the pric

Text - maxdps_ 1.2k points · 19 hours ago S Not sure if this is really a complaint but more sheer stupidity... At my first IT job, someone was returning a computer monitor and insisted on speaking with someone from the IT department rather than just leaving it in the cage as they were asked. So I came down to talk with them to see what was going on and she was very adamant that I "double-check" the monitor to make sure all of her information was off of it... This lady literally thought all of he

I worked in the computer department, but was sitting at the loss prevention desk up front to cover while the LP supervisor took a quick lunch break. An old lady comes in, asks where the dairy section is, and help finding the milk. I told her, kindly, that we weren't in a grocery store. She looks confused and leaves. A couple of minutes later her (presumably) son walks in, and starts chewing

Text - Unique_User_name_42 873 points · 20 hours ago The store manager was walking by my register as a customer was walking up to check out. My manager said I had to take my break in 15 minutes to which I said, "Okay" The customer complained that it was unprofessional for the manager to speak to me and that I was unprofessional to respond when a customer was approaching the register because I needed to be focused on her and greet her appropriately.

When customers would ask for frappuccinos we would just put in the order as what we called it and let them know the name for it at our store so they would recognize it when the barista called it out. Had a women get so upset she was screaming, all over the word frappuccino. According to her it was the traditional Italian word for a

I told him I would be happy to come pick it up and examine it (we got a LOT of fraud calls, people trying to get free shit every day). When I got there his tone changed (I am 6 foot, 270 pounds) and he showed me the "sticks" in his pizza. You know what they were? He ordered thin crust, and some of the crust broke off onto the

I cooked a new one, literally like 15 minutes on the fryers; I cooked three or four other orders around it. She then complained that it was too hot and she didn't want it.

He wanted that portion of his purchase refunded to him.

He didn't care. He was mad that his money was helping bro

She even specifically stated she does not have to pay a tax. It was at that moment I accepted that there was no being rational with some people...

Everyday I would get people complaining about the pool temperature as if I could do something about it. "Ma'am, the pool does not have a heating system, I'm sorry. Larger bodies of water hold their temperature longer, which is why it's so cold". And they would complain ALL. THE. TIME. “This is your job, you need to fix it!" I'm sorry lady.

Work Memes to Hide from the Boss


Work. We need to do it to not be hungry and cold, but other than that it's missing some benefits. Depending on their job, most people would rather just sit and be bored. And everyone's attitude at work is a strange combination of trying to do as little as possible while blaming everyone around them for doing as little as possible. It can get rough. At least there are work memes to blow off work steams.
