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.)

A few spring to mindI've had a few shit jobs in the past that have unfortunately bought me into contact with some right assholes. I know that most customers are fine, but by the law of averages you're gonna run into a few idiots....
1)Working in a kitchen as a washer upper - I only heard what was going on but it made the chefs amazingly angry - and angry chefs are not the best friend of the poor bastards washing up.... One woman asked for a salad - being a vegetarian. She got the salad, fair enough but then sent it back, as the waitress could not guaruntee that the salad only contained organic veg. The woman later selected key lime pie for desert but asked it to be made without limes as she was allergic to them. Limes, strangely enough are a pretty essential part of making a key lime pie.
2)I worked as a contract cleaner for a large department store, and was almost constantly barraged by questions asking things which I knew nothing about - being a cleaner and not shop staff - often within a stones throw of an actual shop assistant. If they where relatively polite I'd do my best to help them but there where a fair few who where amazinly rude. These people I would direct to random areas of the store as far away as possible from where they where meant to be. And one woman stands out in particular. She asked me, well more demanded that I tell her wether a coat was on sale or not. I began to explain that if it was on sale, it would be marked on sale but she rudely interrupted, asking me the same question again. So I told her that it was on sale at 70% off and left for another area of the store before the shit hit the fan

That first woman!I know some people like that; restricting their eating to only the 'purest' things is their religion and they're fucking annoying. If I'd overheard her pulling that crap just as a fellow customer I think I'd have been tempted to have a word or two with her!

To be honestI think that there is a certain type of person who automaticaly goes into lord-of-the-manor mode as soon as they enter a shop or whatever. It's probably some sort of insecurity. 99% of people are lovely though, must be said.
