Today, a customer asked for my manager's number, my bosses number, corporate's number and filled out a complaint form, all because we kindly asked him not to sit his kid on the counter due to safety concerns. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, a customer at work said his table was dirty. I asked which one he was sitting at so I could clean it for him. For some bizarre reason he got pissed and called my manager over. He ended up reporting us to corporate, and my manager got written up. He's blaming me for everything. FML
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
Today, a customer at work made threats against me and my two-month old son. Instead of following policy by notifying the police, my manager apologized to him and told me to leave. FML
Today, I handed a written complaint to a shop manager about an employee who had used foul language to my teenage daughter. I then watched as he took the complaint to the employee in question, they read it together, laughed, then the manager tore it in half and threw it in the bin. FML
Today, a child was choking in the store I work at. He was alone in the aisle, so I started the Heimlich without his parents' permission. After dislodging what was caught, his mother turned the corner and went screaming to my manager for touching her kid. I got a write up. FML
Today, at work, a customer asked for my number. When I declined, he made a huge scene, shouting and scaring other customers. He tipped me seven cents. FML
Today, I stopped two little boys from spitting over a railing at the piano player two floors below in the department store I work at. Their mom complained to my boss about me. FML
Today, a customer complained about me for getting their order wrong. This would have been fine if they hadn't sent their ten-year-old kid to order for them. FML
Today, a customer was rude to me, and I was rude back. He then asked for my manager, and I told him I was the store manager. He then identified himself as the corporate owner. FML
Today, my manager cussed me out for being unable to keep a customer happy. That "customer" was a senile old twit who had wandered away from his carer, thought our shop was his living room, and demanded to know who replaced all his furniture. FML

So? Give him all the numbers, even give him the number for the pope of America, that way he will look like even more of a fool while he whines about his lack of common sense.

Some people... You should be allowed to deny him all that for being an idiot. If he goes through with it he'll just make an ass of himself

So then why would OP deny him the numbers? I'm sure OP's bosses need a good laugh as much as OP did.

Sometimes you just need to kill someone just to satisfy your anger.,

Anger? I could see frustration and exasperation, but getting angry from idiots being idiots is a little extreme, don't you think? Hell, if anything I'd be laughing knowing that the customer is going to make himself look like an idiot to all my bosses.

Those phonecalls, I'd love to hear them.

Dial the number- and hand him/ her the phone, proceed in the back to find some cheese and crackers for his whine. You was only looking out for the safety of a child.

Great Service is when you do your job without alienating the customer

Snotty parents like that raise over-entitled spoiled brats. I hope whoever this asshole breeder whined to was laughed off.

They should have reverse complaint forms in companies that allow you to voice concerns about customers so that if there is a complaint from them, the employee has a chance to tell their side of the story!

And that's the kind of person who would raise hell and sue if his kid whacked his finger on that counter during a hard sneeze.
