Weirdest Customers At Your Work

[ChrisChris]

Hey all,

Post about the weirdest customers you've had come to your work. Heres one that came to my work (Toys R Us) and if I could, I would've picked her up and through her outta the store. It went something like this:

Her: Hi, I want to buy a trampoline
Me: Ok, on this wall we have all the pictures of the trampolines we sell
Her: We're going to need a measuring tape
Me: What for?
Her: So I can visualise how big they are
Me: Sorry, I don't have a measuring tape but the measurements are on the picture
Her: *sighs* ok I'll wait why you go get one
Me: We dont have them here, we're a Toy Store
Her: Ok, I'll go look at the packets of them then
Me: Your not allowed in the storeroom
Her: Ok you can bring them out then
Me: (Starting to get the sh**s) I cant bring them out unless you've paid for it. How about you go home and measure it then we'll see which ones fit.
Her: I know how big it is
Me: Clearly you dont. Here's the best I can do for you - I'm about 170cm, work off that
Her: Ok lie down
Me: (Thinking what the hell is this woman smoking). No, I'm not going to do that for you. *picks up a pole* this is about half my height so lets say its 60cm.
Her: Thats not good enough
Me: Well thats the best it's going to get *walks away*

Looking forward to hearing your stories :hehe: ,
Chris

Lady came up to me and said that she cannot shop in a store this cold - that she should talk to the manager but will just leave.

I just stood and there and whatever.

I would've told her to do everyone a favour and just leave then :P

I got your post in my email for the subsription of this post. It isn't bad customer service but I did the best I could for this woman. We didn't have a measuring tape and I was just following store policies with the boxes.

Just got back from work today and there was this couple that came in. They were those kind of people that think nobody else has feelings.

Anyway, they were - I wont describe them incase I offend anyone - but they wanted to know what size a bike was (despite us not having any of them left except the demo one which we cant sell). In the bike section people always take the demo bikes and ride them around and take the tags off which tell us this info. Anyway, it went something like this:

Them: how many cm is this bike
Me: We dont have any left, let me see if the tag shows.
Them: Theres no tag on it
Me: Ok, I'll go see if the manager knows. *goes to the back and finds the bike manager left* The bike manager isn't here I'll go see if another manager knows.
Them: You know what, if you kids are so stupid just go get me a bl**dy tape measure and I'll measure it myself.
Me: we dont have tape measures - we're a toy store (Maybe we should get them :hehe: )
Them: &&%%# %#&%#&%#&%# %#&%#&%#&%#& %#&%#&%#&%#&% #%#&&%#&%#&#%

As holyroller said, maybe I should film these people and put em on Youtube :lol:

Chris, I work in a Hardware store selling DIY materials etc. I meet some of the weirdest, dumbest people on the face of the planet. I would love to tell a hundred anecdotes but fear I may end up in trouble for offending somebody or another.
What I can do, though is recommend that you purchase a tape measure, even just get one of the simple ones you get in like ikea and places, it sounds like it might make your day a little easier.

I can't see how anyone would get offended by theses posts or I wouldn't put them up :hehe: ... would love to hear some of your stories though...

According to store policies you arnt allowed to carry anything they dont give you :td: they'd probably make an exception for a tape measure though :hehe:

Guess what I discovered by accident today :hehe: we do have tape measures at work!
