If only we could simply tell people they're being astronomically retarded...but then we'd be offending people and giving bad service.

I’ve actually had a customer use that phrase on me. I laughed and told them they were 115% wrong and they wanted speak to management. -Con
Guess who was management. Explained in the simplest terms why they were retarded, and sent them in their way. I lasted 5 years at that job.

I love when people complain about their bills. There are prices on our menu, don't complain because you spent more than you'd have liked to.

Worked at burger joint. Regular customer frequently order bacon blue burger. Got burger. Complained that it had blue cheese dressing on it >
Brought it back to counter to complain (every. single. time.) Asked what was on his burger. Asked why we didn't have sliced blue cheese. >
Did this literally every time he came in. It was explained to him multiple times. He still expected SLICED BLUE CHEESE every time. WTF

People who say there are no stupid questions clearly never worked in customer service...

Not saying the customer wasn't totally dumb, as I'm sure it was pretty damn obvious, but decorative kale on a salsa bar sounds kinda strange
Especially since kale isn't aestheticly pleasing.
ReverseTrapTsukasa
It was the go to decoration for salad bars before marketing turned it into a health food. It disappeared from most real quick after.

Hey now.. if kale wants to feel pretty, then gosh darn it it has every right to feel like the queen of England!!

“I want a side of fries 4 the kids meal” “Sir fries aren’t a side” “I’ll take the appetizer” “ok what side for your kids meal?” “Fries”...
He apparently didn’t want to treat himself to an xtra side, so I didn’t give him one. Just the $4 basket. (Even tho it was included!)
This one is really stupid and not frustrating but it was frustrating at the time. He literally wouldn’t listen to a word I said. Goodness

Before or after the made up stories? Legitimate question.
Is there really a difference?
Yes. It used to be just mundane things like "today I ate a sandwich". Actual things that'd be "average".

Sears came up with the term and their business is failing, so win?
previoustopcomment
Those business are failing mostly because of investor bullshit syphoning off money not because they couldn't be profitable.
Partially. Sears didn't move fast enough with the times. They're there now, but it's too little too late.

The customer isn't right. But they do pay for the privilege of being wrong
TheMajesticHarpyEagle
No one has the right or privilege to be wrong. Ignorance and stupidity need to be tamped out.
shhep
No, they literally need to be served, not corrected.
And they will be served to the best of the institutions ability, but unreasonable or idiotic requests should be treated as such. Money
doesnt give you the right to be a stupid cunt.
Oldmemedigger
But it can buy you the right to.
CandidGamera
The core idea behind every totalitarian regime. Also, *stamped, you illiterate scum.
Tamp: to ram or pack (a substance) down or into something firmly. I know what Im about son. And totalitarian regimes generally are known for
encouraging ignorance, because a stupid/ignorant population is easier to control.
I agree but its a shop. Its not that deep
Money yells pretty loud son
Money needs to learn to shut the fuck up and do what its goddamn told.
Good luck with that.

Worked at a Little Caesar's pizza. Customer calling in an order asked me the diff between thick crust and thin.
Asgarus
Well, if it's just half a centimeter difference, it's probably not worth the higher price, so that's a legit question.
GoliathSkittles
Is it the flavour? I bet it's the flavour that's the difference.
Its how much dumbass they fit in the crust

Yeah yeah “magic is bullshit” “witches don’t exist” I heard it all before, the basis of modern medicine wouldn’t even be here without magic
“Do you have fries?” “Uh no ma’am, this is Dominos, we have pizza.” “Well I want fries so I’m going to Pizza Hut, you just lost a customer”.
Buck39
MRW I hear "you just lost a customer"
How is knowing what you want and taking appropriate steps to get what you want stupid?
Isometimesupvotereposts
I used to work at Taco Bell, someone asked for fries there as well.
TheAdventuresofStealy
Taco Bell has had fries in Canada forever. Plain or done up "supreme" like nachos
That sounds amazing. I forgot to mention that America now has Taco Bell fries. However when the customer asked was years ago.
DoctorPitt
Tbf dominos does do boneless chicken wings and sandwichs so fries isnt that much of a stretch
You ever made fries?
IchNicht1
Isn't boneless chicken wing just a fancy name for a nugget?
ShadyVenator
Arguments like that ruin friendships
Showmeyourotters
Imo the difference is how processed it is. When I think nuggets, I think ground up and formed. Boneless wings still have the natural grain.
TheMagnificentOnion
never had one of those fancy nuggets, but I imagine that the fancy wings still have texture and aren't mashed?
edward8767
As a waiter who serves them on a daily basis, yes. They are literally chicken nuggets but you can't charge 7 quid for 6 chicken nuggets
Might be different in the UK (you're in the UK right?)
I am, but really, what else is a boneless wing than a posh sounding chicken nugget? :D
I get really frustrated that most pizza places don't seem to do mozzarella sticks.
PetahOsiris
In Australia they did (do?) oven baked chips (aka: thick cut fries)
MortalPikelet
Really? Aussie Dominos do fries.
You can get fries almost anywhere in Canada
Was about to comment this, though they are pretty shitty and expensive.
dingofdong
It's Dominoes, "pretty shitty and expensive" is a given
Huh that’s interesting. The Ho-dunk Florida town I live in does not and neither does any other pizza place. Different cuisines and such not
ShockTheMonk
Most pizza places don't do them, because oven baked chips are disgusting and dry. I'm surprised more pizza places don't have a deep fryer.
MollyNapQueen
My local pizza place have fries.
I had never heard of fries in a pizza joint before you guys commented it. It seems alien to me. Hey but I like fries, the more the merrier
