21 Retail Warriors Share Their Most Ludicrous Customer Requests

Tilesh Bo November 21, 2020

There are very few jobs as thankless as that of a retail worker. Having to juggle your regular responsibilities and entitled people should be an Olympic sport. This Twitter thread from last week is proof that everyone needs to work retail at some point so we can avoid the horror stories these poor people had to endure.

Text - Brittany Clayton @BrittanyClayton Replying to @isabelzawtun I managed a museum that would close sometimes for private events. During one of these events, a woman and her daughter arrived, wanting to see the museum. When I said it was closed, she demanded we give them a gift card to the museum store and pay for a taxi back to their hotel.

Text - Brittany Clayton @BrittanyClayton Also we had ticketed entry times, and our website clearly stated the last entry was an hour before closing. So many irate people- "but it's our last day here and this was the #1 thing we wanted to do!!" Then why'd you wait until 8:30pm on the last day of your trip to do it?

Do you want us to microwave cold brew? Hot coffee with ice? Still confused O 9,222 27755 94 Sonja @sonjackson5 · 2d This happens WAY more than it should.

I said 'what' and he gave me a list of the only flavors that he would accept

Text - Boey Goey @sbicyboi Replying to @isabelzawtun I worked at a restaurant and bar when a lady ordered a sparkling wine. I brought it to her in a generic wine glass. She refused to drink it because it wasn't in a champagne flute. Lord help me if I told her that not all sparkling wine is champagne.

Text - [Kay.Noire] @KayNoire Replying to @isabelzawtun I was a waitress in Germany with many Swiss patrons. Our restaurant graciously accepted Swiss Francs, but we'd give Euros as change. Every day Swiss people yelled at me why we don't carry Swiss Francs IN GERMANY. SWITZERLAND IS NOT PART OF THE EU AND THAT IS A YOU PROBLEM.

Text - E Adam Ingle @meesterbob Replying to @isabelzawtun Blockbuster. Guy I knew from high school wanted to trade in some games. Open one of the cases-tiny bag of crack flies up, lands on the counter. Minute of staring before he says "That's not my crack." More staring until he pockets the crack and we move on like it never happened.

Text - E Adam Ingle @meesterbob Replying to @isabelzawtun I worked at Blockbuster. We couldn't keep copies of direct-to-video smash hit Bring It On Again in stock. This one guy came in every day for 2 weeks looking for it. Finally screamed "I thought this was a goddamn video store" and started threatening cashier. Cops escorted him out.

Text - Michelle #CysticFibrosisAwareness @michelyntyler Replying to @isabelzawtun I worked at Blockbuster through college and I can't tell you how many times people called asking us to reserve copies of big releases the day before release date. The day before Passion of the Christ released we had at least 7 of these calls. Nope.

Text - jB @wushUdoin ITSA TRAP Replying to @isabelzawtun Not sure if this qualifies, but I watched a grown man walk up to a row of closed registers (10 more ft & he would've reached customer service where 2 people could've helped him). He stopped, looked around & 3 seconds later screamed "HELLLLLP!!!!" at the top of his lungs #fuckface
