Customers from Hell
The 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.)

"Can you smell something?"
When I was working in a computer games shop, we were dealing with part exchanges and people were binning their 8/16 bit cartridge systems to replace them with the superior 32 bit monster Playstation.
We were selling these at the time hand-over-fist and our old console back-catalogue was massive. Damn, those were the days :) Now I've got all those games on one DVD (me bad :p).
One customer however was almost infamous (and he was to our store). Nice enough bloke, but he had one problem. He stank. Of cat piss. Fucking rancid smell of piss. Enamel melting it was, we'd smell him coming up the street before he got in the store. So rather quickly we knew him as "Cat Piss Man", and on this particular day he'd come to our store for business.
He brought in a big black bag with a large box in it. One of the guys under his breath muttered "He's brought the pets in", but rather lamely it turned out to be the Super Nintendo/Street Fighter 2 Turbo bundle pack instead. We took in all the games and the SNES, Cat Piss Man leaves with the PSX and a few games, everyone's happy. Ish. As we're sorting out the stock in the back room, we realize that the SNES works, but the box stank of piss. It fucking reeked of the stuff. We bought 3 boxes of wet-wipes and scrubbed away furiously at the games, the boxes, the console, but the smell wouldn't go.
So we got the empty SNES box cover, stuck a price tag on it and stuck it on the shelves. This was to be our weapon.
You see, one end of this box had been removed and the smell inside the box was still as "lemon-fresh" as the day it left the feline bladder. This made for an improptu but very effective "Piss Cloud Cannon" and was used on our regular customers to great effect. Asking a regular customer to look in this box, and when they glanced in through the hole we gently squeezed the sides of the empty box spraying the customer with the natural breeze of a mad woman's house in Tipton (or my next door neighbour's house actually, she's got 10 of the fuckers). Many a laugh ensured and the Cat Piss Cannon lasted for weeks on end.
Fucking stank it did.
