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.)

American expressI had the joy of queuing up behind an irritating American business man in my local Dominoes Pizza. He was obviously on an overseas business trip and some poor sap had been lumbered with babysitting him for the night.
So Yankee doodle was loudly going on about this and that to a bored Brit as we stood waiting to place our order.
Once served proud American announces "Oh, I'll get this" in a gesture of goodwill to pay his way, and offers the counter monkey his credit card... American Express.
"We don't take that" replies Pizza boy.
"You must do! It's American Express Gold card!" replies the Yank.
"Should've left home without it" replies I from the back of the queue to several smirks and a red faced Yank who now can't pay his bill.
That's when he kicked off.
Summary result, check the accepted payment methods before offering to pay.

American ExpressI believe these are not widely accepted in the UK, they have a more expensive charging structure for the customer and the retailer and you have to pay them off each month, nothing anti american, it's just that they are crapper than Visa debit cards.
