Stupid Customers

(I’m stocking the shelf at one end of an aisle. A customer enters at the far end by the milk and is coughing)

Customer: *coughs*

(I briefly glance over. She’s staring at milk.)

Customer: *coughs again*

(There’s a long pause. She’s still staring at milk.)

Customer: *loud coughing*

(I turn to see if she is covering her mouth, but instead see her charging down the aisle at me.)

Customer: “What is wrong with you?! I’ve been coughing to get your attention down there for five minutes! ”

Me: “Ma’am, I glanced over at you several times. You never looked at me.”

Customer: “Oh, yes I did! What does a person have to do here, fall on the floor and have a seizure to get some milk?!”

Stupid Customers

Me: “Welcome to [fast food chain name], may I take your order please?”

Customer: “I want a Cobb Salad, no Cobb!”

Me: “No what?”

Customer: “No Cobb! I don’t want no Cobb!”

Me: “Cobb was the chef who invented the salad, he is not an ingredient. We put eggs, tomato, bacon, chicken and blue cheese on our salad.”

Customer: “Blue cheese! That’s what I don’t want! No Cobb!”

Me: *giving up* “One Cobb salad, no blue cheese. That will be [price], thank you!”

(At the drive though window.)

Customer: “That don’t got no Cobb, right?”

Stupid Customers

Customer: “Hello.”

Me: “Yes?”

Customer: “Where do you have–wait, did you say ‘Yes’?”

Me: *confused* “Excuse me?”

Customer: “I said ‘Hello,’ and you said ‘Yes.’ Is that what just happened here?”

Me: “I believe so.”

(She rolled her eyes and quickly walked out of the store.)

Stupid Customers

(I’m working at a restaurant and the bill has a 15% gratuity included for a large party.)

Customer: “Miss? What’s this ‘gravity’ sh*t?! I ain’t paying for no freakin ‘gravity!’”

Me: “Ma’am, that’s what holds the food to your plate.”

Customer: “Oh, alright then.” *pays the check*
