Obviously works everywhere
The customer is always a dong
Today, a customer filed a formal complaint with corporate about me, because I wouldn't help her find things she wanted while I was off the clock. We were in a completely different store than the one where I actually work. FML

Go away, lady!
Today, at work, I had a customer accuse me of taking the giftcard I had issued her for her return, after spending 15 minutes trying to fix her screwed up transaction. She began to yell, and follow me around the store. Security had to intervene and I had to be locked in an office until she left. FML

Today, I got yelled at in a grocery store by a customer who recognized me from the pizza place where I work. Apparently, I forgot mushrooms on her pizza earlier this afternoon. I had the day off, but thanks for the verbal lashing, lady. FML

Today, a customer yelled at me so furiously that she sprayed my face with spittle. I had to stand there, smiling and politely explaining that I needed to see a receipt before I could give her a refund. When she finally gave up and left, my boss bitched me out for "provoking the customer". FML

You should have turned the tables around and asked to see the person's manager.

Finally! A situation where the customer is wrong! You should go to the store manager and demand an advance on your imaginary paycheck.

I was once sent from my job at a gas station to pick up light bulbs. While at the store I was looking at the light bulbs and I heard someone ask where the school supplies were. I didn't even consider that they might be asking me (since I couldn't even see the person). They repeated the question and I realized they were talking to me. I just turned around and told them I don't work there. If they started yelling at me I don't know what I'd do. Probably point to the gas station logo on my shirt.

Take this as a lesson: NEVER wear a red polo shirt to Target

#70 Ohoho! In some places you get morons who don't even know. I was wearing either all black or some kind of pajama-ish clothes in 2 instances where I was at 2 separate Targets; people asking me where a certain item was or if something was on sale. I was so confused. ;_;

Send a description of the incident to NotAlwaysRight.com -- they have a link on their page for sending them stuff. Lots of funny stupid-customer stories. This would fit right in.

I'd have threatened to call security and have them removed from the store.

This actually happened to me. I was shopping in a department store and another customer started screaming at me because she thought the slippers cost too much. I told her to tell someone who works here and she screamed for a manager. Some woman came running over to ask what the problem was. The woman pointed at me and screamed, "I want this mouthy bitch fired!" The manager explained that I was not an employee, I was another customer, and the woman screamed "LIARS!" at us and stormed out of the store. I still have no idea why she thought I was a sales person. I wasn't wearing a badge and I was carrying a purse.
