As someone who spent many (too many) years being personally victimized by the horrors of the customer service industry, I can confirm with 100% confidence that the phrase “The customer is always right!” is coated in so many layers of irony that it’s only ever said as a joke. Here are 17 screenshots that will make you question if the customer has ever actually been right:
1.
Step aside, “Baby shoes. Never worn.” Make way for “Side toast. No Bread.”
2.
This real-life “No, this is Patrick” moment:
3.
This customer who looked their server dead in the eyes and uttered the words, “I want my chicken not fully cooked.”
4.
I just know this customer would say something to the effect of, “How hard can it be to make a simple pizza?!?”
5.
This customer who didn’t realize that they were both complimenting and insulting this employee:
6.
Trying to decipher how to make this tuna melt order is actually, ironically, melting my brain:
7.
If you thought “seafood allergy tuna melt” was bad, prepare yourself for “vegan salmon”:
8.
This customer who left a bad review because they simply couldn’t believe the store that closes at 5 p.m. had the nerve, the gall, and the sheer audacity to close at 5 p.m. 😡
9.
This customer who is FURIOUS about being offered something *checks notes* for free?!
10.
This customer who invented a whole new way to have your eggs by requesting them “sunny side up with the yolks on the side”:
11.
“The customer is always right” apparently means they’re correct when it comes to deciding the price of menu items:
12.
People not knowing what a bayleaf is just might be my favorite kind of complaint:
13.
Like, it gets me every single time:
14.
This interaction would break me. I’d be in the fetal position in the walk-in freezer for the rest of my shift:
15.
This customer who maaaaybe should have pulled out the calculator before going off like this:
16.
This customer who complained about floors, a universally hard surface, being a hard surface:
17.
And finally, this one-star review from someone who’s upset they couldn’t haggle their way into cheaper rent:
