Customers from hell

By fucking fuck off - 01/01/2016 14:28 - United States

Today, a customer gave me hell because a high-spec game he bought wouldn't run on his ancient Windows XP PC. I ended up having to profusely apologize and refund him. Whoever coined the phrase "the customer is always right" should probably be shot, run over by a bus, then shot a few more times. FML

I once had to give a customer a refund on an item I apparently "didn't put in the bag" when working in retail. I saw her take it out of the shopping bag on her way out the door.

who the hell doesn't check to make sure they can play a game when pokemon x and y came out i didn't stupidly buy them without making sure i had the right portable system

As a manager in retail, I feel your pain. "The customer is always right"..... BULLSHIT. The customer is an asshole and wrong 99% of the time. But we're expected to bend over and take it. People know that so people take advantage of us.

You know, the customer is always right means you always pretend they're right to avoid being given hell and to make the customer agree to shittier deals

Those who say the customer is always right never worked with a customer, half are idiots and half are assholes, and yes, those halves do have a large amount of overlap

Haha I was just about to comment that

The full saying is the customer is always right unless proven wrong respectfully

That guy that said 'the customer is always right' doesn't need to be run over and shot. The bus should park on his junk. In the desert.... give him a parasol and one of those water bottles for hamsters. let him see what working retail is really like.

I agree. customer isn't always right. most of the time the customer is just crazy and stupid. 7 years in retail is how I know this.

Working at a small, family-owned business was a good thing for one reason: I always knew what happened in the restaurant and could easily respectfully call out a customer for a false complaint without fear of reprimand. The owners were happy to have someone observant and assertive so they weren't cheated.

I think you would enjoy the app "not always right" it's hilarious.
