Customers from HellThe customer is always right. And yet, as 'listentomyopinion' writes, this is utter bollocks.
Tell us of the customers who were wrong, wrong, wrong but you still had to smile at (if only to take their money.)

Hundreds of them in HMV, Oxford Street branch...But the one that sticks with me the most was a nervous looking fellow, obviously very shy, who'd been sent to find a particular piece of music. I asked if he wanted help, and he pushed a torn scrap of paper in my hand.
I unfurled the handwritten message, and the reason for his problem became clear. He'd been sent off to look for that old Scottish classic:
A May Sing Grays
No wonder the poor sod couldn't find it on any CDs...
The other favourite was someone after something "really emotional, you know? Music that really MEANS something. None of this pop crap, I want some passion in the performance."
After about half an hourof trying various things, this translated to "Sell me some Celine Dion"
