pretty sure that’s not how it works!that's like a guy saying just the tipJust remembered another one. Worked in a call centre for a bank. Woman came on and was trying to pass security but she’d given the wrong date of birth for the account she was enquiring about. We had two profiles for her with debts on both but with dates of birth one day apart. When challenged on why she was using different details to obtain credit she said that she was legally allowed to use both dates because when her mum was giving birth her head came out before midnight and the rest afterwards
I nearly cried as an 18 yr old seeing that name In a job where you HAD to use the customers name 
you're manager's weirdIn one of my first delves into the customer service arena, I had a regular older customer called Mr bleep... I tit you not
When I worked in retail a customer came in and wanted refund for some flat shoes purchased 2 months previously, the insides were literally black with foot filth must have been worn 24/7, I refused the refund and she made me get the manager... who gave her a refund
Always the great feeling when they have your back

I work in hospitality and I read your post nodding along, almost shouting “YES” to every single one
I was 39 weeks pregnant and I cried and told her to duck off and hung up, I went on maternity leave about 7 minutes later. trying not break out into a fit of laughter I told her he said he’d do it right away and with that she sauntered off back to her seat. 
Which groups of individuals?
Sadly that doesn’t surprise me. A lot of ‘Americans’ don’t have passports and so have never left their own country.I had an american customer complain because I sell goods in pounds and she didn't know what it was and I had to explain that their are other currencies other than US dollars and that in Britain we have the british pound. Thought that was a one off but it's happened a couple of times since and they get very cross about it and tell me to come back to them when I've converted it to US dollars. Fortunately I own the business so I never come back to them
There are stores in the US, including Banana Republic, Gap and Old Navy who do give these refunds on their goods if the price goes down in the last two weeks at least. You just need to produce the receipt at the checkout, and they check, so its their store policy. I think Victoria’s Secret does as well.Yes, gonna love this thread
I used to work in retail and was always placed on Customer Service dept which i hated, anyway we get all sorts coming in - one time a woman asked me if she could leave her shopping with me while she went off to do more shopping down the road. Told her politely NO
* A customer purchased a kids trike 2 weeks previously and had since noticed the price had reduced, therefore he bought in his receipt and wanted a refund for the difference. My boss firstly refused then she gave in just to get rid of the guy. Bloody cheek i wouldn't dare do that.
The one thing i hated working in Customer Service was we always got told if a customer returned an item and had no receipt then we had to refund them on a gift card........ that was the process until customer kicks off and i call manager for them to give customer what they want making me look like an idiot despite me following procedure.
* Another experience was a customer wanted to purchase a large wardrobe, she asked if she could have help to the car which i organised. My colleague had been gone for ages then came back into the store with the wardrobe. The woman asked for a refund as the wardrobe wouldn't fit in the car - when i asked my colleague what car she had he replied "a Mini"
Some people are just so dense !!!!I work for an Airline as Cabin Crew and I’m sure people leave their brains at the Terminal door.
On a night flight once I had a lady come into the galley to ask what the awful noise was as it’s preventing her from sleeping, my colleague and I looked at eachother like ...? She then proceeded to make the noise to get us to understand, which we then told her she is in fact referring to the engines. She asked if we could get the pilots to reduce the noise as she needs to sleep as she had a day full of meetings once we landed, me and my colleague laughed and said “we’ll see what we can do” but she was deadly serious about TURNING THE ENGINES NOISE DOWN and just carried on standing there with a look on her face that just read “well I’m waiting?” So I rang the flight deck and said we’ve got a noise complaint from a lady stood here regarding the engines is there any way we can maybe turn them down to which the Captain replied “yes of course, ask the lady though what are her swimming skills like?”
It’s also quite common in especially serious medical situations for people who can see you’re busy to still come at you with drinks orders and “are you serving food soon?”
Whilst there are so many funny stories about stupid requests, it can be very trying sometimes especially when people become verbally and physically abusive, restraints seem to becoming more and more common because people don’t know their limits with alcohol.
Similar too what has already been mentioned above when disembarking and saying my goodbyes I had a sick bag thrust in my face whilst being asked “can you get rid of this for me?” When I asked what was inside they said “my sick“ I said “No, there is a toilet there, do it yourself” I can’t believe the brass neck of some people sometimes I would never be so cheeky to ask someone else to dispose of my sick
Also I have found far too many used sanitary items on toilet floors than I would have liked to
