Vote up the strangest customer service stories.
When twitter user @TheBlackNerd asked their followers to share stories of haunting customer interactions they probably never expected the responses to be THIS haunting. From customers losing their cool over out of stock items to paying for things with way too many pennies, these stories remind us to treat customer service employees with kindness, cause you never know what kind of day they're having. Be sure to give these folks a follow and vote up your favorites.
Anyone who has worked a customer service job, what's a customer interaction that still haunts you?
One time at Starbucks, I was cleaning the restrooms and knocked on the women's restroom door and the response I got was an angry "WHO IS IT?"
I've probably mentioned this before but when I was still working at Medieval Times during one show I had a lady in my section with an infant that needed a few extra things during the show and ofc I helped her out and she thanked me with no tip and a full diaper under her seat https://t.co/XBVOaOOTSC
a woman returned a £2 flask to me in tk maxx cos it wasn’t keeping stuff hot enough. I opened it cos it was suspiciously heavy and got my hands covered in cold lentil soup :) she hadn’t even washed it :) :) yum https://t.co/jP79ZbIC4m
When I was a waiter a lady said “I’ll have the minestrone soup, but I’d like to sub out the potatoes in the soup for a side salad.” I think about her once a week. https://t.co/QwfK5RhFNI
a regular at fred meyer who always paid for his purchases with a gallon ziplock bag of pennies which he also kept loose leaf tobacco in. he'd dump it all over the counter and make me count it. and my manager, of course, let him do it https://t.co/Ud1m9DgGW8
In 1981 I was a convenience store cashier. One night a guy asked for Playboy. I procured it from the adult magazines behind the counter. He placed in on the counter, opened it, turned to the centerfold, made an approving grunt, then shut the magazine and left without buying it. https://t.co/s96AWEJwGz
