Ridiculous things customers say!

[Darkclothes]

I was in an Italian restaurant today in the UK. The menu was in English. The woman at the next table asked the waiter if the prawns were cooked! He said yes of course they are. She then said that it didn't specify on the menu- it just said 'King prawns with baby tomatoes in a creamy sauce'.

The waiter then said, well it doesn't specific that the chicken is cooked- but most people realise it is. DH and I starting laughing to ourselves. It made me wonder, what other bonkers things have you heard customers say?

Having worked in retail and hospitality in my younger days, I have MANY, but my personal favourite was when I was working as a tour guide in Edinburgh.

The owner of the company I worked for called me into her office, howling with laughter, to show me an email from a customer who was disgusted that I, personally, hadn't gone up and down the Royal Mile prior to their tour moving the wheelie bins out of sight, as they 'lowered the tone and spoiled the experience'.

....😂and they say romance is dead

I worked in local Chemists when I was still at school in the mid 80s

Male customer comes in and picks up
A box of condoms and some batteries.

Promise I held it together before he walked out of the door 🤣🤣🤣🤣

My sister works in a library. A rude customer complained that a book wasn't on the shelf, but she had shelved several copies of it not long before. He was telling her how the library should employ people who know how the alphabet works, etc., so she went to the shelf and pointed out several copies to him. He said "I didn't think it would look like that".

A man she worked with, "B", was leaving to take a place at univ. Another rude customer came in and demanded B go and get something from the shelves. B replied "yes I will personally get it for you and shove it up your arse". My sister was almost hysterical with laughter and let it go as B was leaving and conveniently forgot about it when she was asked for a reference for B in the future.

I used to work one day a week in a seaside kiosk. One day I sold a lady a 99 whippy cornet. She brought it back within a few minutes complaining it was too cold and asking if I could warm it up. I offered to put it in the microwave 😂

Red Dwarf!

I think we've found the raw prawn customer

It's definitely a thing.

In WHSmith, "which ink do I need for my printer? I don't know which model it is but if you're selling ink you should know" went on and on, by the end she was screeching some nonsense about "if you sold me a chocolate bar with peanuts in it I'd die so you need to be more informed about your stock" ... I never did quite work out how we went from printer ink to peanut allergy!

not necessarily....if you filled it with polystyrene, then the contents would not weigh 2 tonnes.

Leeds Bus Station used to play heavy classical music (Wagner etc) in the evenings to deter chavs, homeless hanging in there.

I said used to as last time I got a bus at night (post 8pm) there was 2007.

You need to include Mrs Mills and Max Bygraves in your McDs toilet mix

Some prawns are pink when raw.

We are lucky to be able to buy paracetamol in shops on the shelf in the UK. Many countries in Europe, you can only buy painkillers in pharmacies and they are not cheap. Not 50p, but €2.

This thread has had me laughing out loud.

That's the kind of thing my auntie comes out with 😂

Worked in a charity shop and had a customer complain that a blouse had no price on it.
When my manager have her a price, she said it was cheaper before.
When the manager asked how she knew how much it was, the customer goes into the changing room and comes out with a price tag.

Whilst in my very distinctive emergency service uniform I was picking up some lunch in Tesco. A Tesco customer asked me where the coleslaw was. She was very angry that I couldn't tell her as I didn't work for Tesco........

My son was the one asking the ridiculous question once. We were in a tea rooms, for lunch, and he asked the waitress “What’s in the beef sandwich, please?” She looked a little taken aback and replied “Beef!”

What he wanted to know is whether it had mustard or horseradish or salad in it - but that’s not what he asked. To this day, a particularly dim question is known as a beef sandwich question in this family.

"Mum, why did you call me Ronald? Is it after the world-famous, massively wealthy, universally-admired footballer?"

"Er...yeah. That's it. Yeah - what you said."

"So cool."

"And it now occurs to me that I have about three years to come up with a good reason why your little sister is called Wendy."

Or something about his couple of McNuggets with sauce

True. But they're very expensive, embarrassed shrimp.

At least give the baby a happy meal once in a while for free?🤣

@LegoTherapy my friend works in Starbucks, she said teens try to have sex in their loos regularly

Your first sentence reminded me of a time my cheese burger didn't have cheese. Apparently you have to pay for the cheese as an additonal charge! Doesn't come as standard 🤔

Had that when walking about in shops in my civvies. I said, please ask that lady wearing the uniform.
