Today, a middle-aged customer tried to pay for a $2 ice cream bar with a credit card. It was declined, so he made me swipe it again. Declined. "Quit touching the metal strip," he scowled. I held the outer edge of it and swiped. Declined. He then bitched me out as his mother paid for him. FML

Agreed. OP, you get the ultimate satisfaction that mommy had to bail him out.

More like f the mom's life. Most parents hope that their kids are more successful than they are.

more like YDI for the mom. She raised him, or failed to in this case

Years in customer service has taught me one valuable lesson... People are stupid.

And they will continue to think it's your fault.

"The customer is always right." Except when they're wrong..

Not only are people stupid, they are proud of it.

I feel that pain. Today I had a customer threaten to call the cops on me for not giving them a 3rd drink, none of which belonged to them.. >.>

Hopefully his ice cream melted on him during the process?

Some people just can't accept that they're the issue. Power though Op.

Apparently some people can't accept the fact that they're broke either!

Had a similar customer the other day. He handed me a crooked, half snapped card. Obviously it declined. After 3 tried he snatched the card off me and violently swiped it himself then bitched me out

Did it work when he did it? Either way, what a douche.

Poor guy. too broke for ice cream has to suck. F his life for being broke, and F yours for him blaming you for his financial situation.

39, learn to read the comment you're replying to at least somewhat carefully.

Yeah, sorry about that.

Seems like she still has some raising to do.

I think that depends on how old the customer was. If we are talking about a 20yo or younger kid, than agreed. If the customer was older than that though, mom has probably done everything she can for him. Sometimes people either have to sink or swim and stop taking advantage of their parents and expecting to be bailed out.

"Middle aged" usually means around 40 or 50.
PoisonOrchid 21
Yep. I realized that shortly after I posted and it was too late to change it. These things happen.
FracturedMinds 21
Yeah. Happens to us all.

But with him being middle aged, you're right, there's nothing more the mom can do. Unfortunately, sometimes you can do an incredible job raising your kid and do everything right and sometimes they just don't learn and don't grow up. Some people just choose to be self-entitled whiny babies that think they're better than everyone else and there's nothing anyone can do.

middle aged is 30... not 50 lol you retire at 60. 30 is middle ground.
hordriss 14
Wrong. Middle aged is not based on working life. 45 or so is the generally accepted start of middle-age.
mikbrooke 25
#75 middle aged is considered 45 - 60 years old actually.
Vegetarian27 24
Middle age is based on life expectancy. If one assumes a life expectancy of 80-90, we're looking at 40 years old for middle age to start.

Some people can be both morons, and jerks. This is one of them. I feel sorry for his mom, though.

I hope he does extra chores around the house to pay her back

Some customers really like to make ot hard on people. At least he didn"t complaim to your manager. It could have always been worse.
