Some customers test your patience, and you hope never to deal with them again. I once had a call from a guy who was rude, but I still resolved his issue. Later, I got feedback from the back team asking me to redo his case, which meant calling him back. Ugh! So I dialed, praying he wouldn’t answer, but of course, he did and was just as unpleasant as before. Honestly, what does it cost to be nice?

Do you guys have any regular rude customer who you want to avoid when you see them?

There are a couple who are just always in a bad mood and seem to cause problems, no matter how great our staff treats them. It's like they wake up each day with the goal of making as many people feel as miserable as they are.

That reminds me of a lady who used to visit Walmart often. She was really old, walked with a stooped back, and had a walker loaded with bags. You’d naturally feel like helping her just by looking. One day I saw her struggling and offered a hand, but all I got was, “Do not touch my stuff, go away.” Honestly, it shocked me. After that, I learned my lesson and even warned others not to offer her help, no matter how much she seemed to need it.

Oh yeah, there’s always that one customer you spot and instantly think, “please not today.”

Yes, the ones I find toughest are those who stick to their principles even when they’re wrong. They’ll insist that rules should be bent for them because “the customer is always right.” It makes resolving the issue harder, especially when you know they’re asking for something unreasonable.

Thinking of switching employers. Do you think bigger retail stores (the ones that have several locations) are easier or harder to work at than little hole-in-the-wall grocery stores (which is all I've ever done)? It seems like the larger chain stores would have more downtime, but I'm wondering if anyone could give some input.

Hi how much does a florist get paid per hour? Thanks

Once when I was waiting tables, I had a guy pay me cash. The change was 45 cents, which I didn't give back to him because like who wants that. He then asked where the change was, and when I explained that I didn't give back the loose change, he made a big stink about how dollars and cents matter and didn't leave me a tip. He was a republican staffer on capitol hill.

Back when I was getting started in the food world, I worked flipping burgers at In-n-Out. A man came in and said the burgers he had gotten weren’t right. He dumped the food on the counter and then he started throwing them back behind the counter. We gave him a refund and then his demeanor completely changed. He was calmer and he told us to have a great day as he left us to clean up the mess he made.
