Patience is a virtue.

Waiting 30 seconds while I finish a coffee is not going to cause your dinner to get cold. Don't stand there whining at my back.



But then I don't expect much more from you. You're the same guy who complained to every staff member, the pizza chefs and two different managers because your pizza was floppy. Then you had the audacity to order another pizza and whinge about how you had to pay for it.

Lol, floppy pizza.
We had a homeless guy who would come around regularly to our gourmet burger shop to beg for money from our customers. The team leader would generally make him leave, but one day, his friend's mother felt sorry for this guy and said, I won't give you money, but I will buy you a burger.
So he ordered this thing, she paid - and it was pretty expensive, too - and we served it up. He made a huge show of bringing it up to his mouth, making a tonne of noise, and then 'accidentally' dropped the whole thing all over himself. Then he asked for his money back.
The team leader offered to make him another burger, knowing the trick, and the guy stormed off, shouting at us for being jackasses.

"It's on special"

Seriously, all I do is put the barcode through the laser. If the bloody thing is on special, let me scan and if you don't see it, THEN complain so I can then rectify it. While I'm talking about specials, you can tell who failed basic maths because they complain they can't workout the multibuy deduction that appears.

"Are you open?"

This keeps cropping up. If I'm standing there, doing nothing, lights on, yes I'm open! Although, I must admit, I did once have this conversation not long ago:

5pm, peak hour
[Customer approaches, unloads]
Me: Sorry, I'm closed
Customer: OH FOR FUCKS
Me: Not!
[Both laugh]

I was absolutely stunned because it wasn't premeditated and I picked the worst time to do it and I didn't get a complaint. It was a complete stranger, not a regular customer. Though, I've decided to quit while I'm ahead.

Me: *scans item*
Customer: No, hang on. That's wrong, the sign said "two for $10", so because I only have one, it should be $5, but it scanned as $7.
Me: Oh no, it's only if you buy the two, that you get it at that price.
Customer: I don't want it.


Omglol
I had one customer who only wanted 1 loaf of bread, though they were on special at 2 for $5.. Scanned at $2.95.. Customer made a big song and dance about how she should get it for $2.50 because management always allows that for her. I said "ok, i will get the manager".. She said "don't worry about it, I won't take your lousy bread"... It was only an extra 45cents! OMG!

fuck i had this lady once, right.

so anyway i'd given her her change and wished her on her way and began the next transaction (mind you it was like a trolley full of shit). so 30 seconds later she comes back and was like "oh, um, excuse me, but you forget to give me 5c" and i was like er, ok. and looked at her as if you seriously don't care, do you? obviously she did so i told her that i couldn't open the drawer because i'd already started another transaction. she was all like "oh i don't mind, i'll wait."
i shit you not.
i
shit
you
not.

she waited minutes to get back her 5c

PEOPLE!!

Name of the shop : Sandwich Stack
One of the custumers came the other day asking : do you sell sandwiches?
No we do not sell sandwiches, its just the name, and does not have anything to do with what we're selling. /sarcasm

Another custumer came in the middle of the day, while we had a rush hour and asked : Are you closed?

Ok, I had a Fail Customer today.. I had served her, and asked for her card. She didn't answer. When she was getting out her money, I asked her again (a little louder). She said what sounded like "no". I give her her change and receipt and say goodbye, and start with the next transaction.. about 5 items in she gets out her card.
I was like "What the f**k am I meant to do with that now???" (in my head, ha)
She looked heaps pissed off when I said it was too late. Her fault.

Lol one time me and my friends went into EB Games and they had massive sale posters up literally everywhere in the whole shop and we were like 'Are you guys having a sale?'. Yes yes we're oh so witty and original.
