30 Customers Who Acted Like Jerks And Got Called Out On It

[caption id="attachment_4539" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Credit: Reddit / GeorgeRRHodor[/caption] Customers can be total jerks. It's no secret, especially if you've worked in retail. Many of us reading this, and likely many other humans working away this very minute, will find some solace in the fact that it's not just us. In the age of commerce and capitalism we live in, it is required and a key job descriptor to interact with fellow humans are coming to you or your compy to take part in the great money-game to purchase goods or services. It is the way. However, it isn't that simple. It is indeed the way, but it also not the whole way. Still with me? Customers are often not the most socially enlightened when it comes to etiquette and often behave in manners uncouth and down-right wrong towards waiters, bartenders, retail workers and many, many more. Sometimes though, people behave in such a way that some form of retaliation is inevitable and most of the time, it's very amusing. Case in point... [post_page_title]#1 Pet Supply Store Gets Real[/post_page_title] Pets are such a part of contemporary life that getting the kids used to furry little friends ahead of purchasing one is safe-bet. Most of the time that is... [caption id="attachment_4541" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Credit: Reddit / s1s2g3a4[/caption] It is until those who really should act with a little more civility and maturity ruin it for the rest of us. Shame on them, think of those poor puppies and children looking forward to a little play. [post_page_title]#2 This Woman Who Stole The Shop Cat From A Local Flower Shop[/post_page_title] Stealing is universally considered to be wrong regardless of whatever the item is. That said, there are definitely some examples where the act of fiver-finger discount is taken way further than what is already bad enough. [caption id="attachment_4542" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Credit: Reddit / criminalwines[/caption] Just read that caption for a second and let that sink in. Despicable. [post_page_title]#3 Risque But An Effective Shaming Tool[/post_page_title] Ah, alcohol. I've was a bar manager until recently, and the things I've had to tell people to stop doing in the places I've worked would shock you and so, it is with that in mind that I give this excellent entry on this list. [caption id="attachment_4543" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Credit: Reddit / Speedwizard106[/caption] Perhaps a little risqué as the title suggests but still, well played to the person who put this sign up. [post_page_title]#4 A Wall Of Notoriety At My Favorite Gas Station, There's About 35 Of These Covering The Front Of The Store[/post_page_title] This one is perhaps one of my personal favorites on this compilation of feels and laughs, laughs and feels. [caption id="attachment_4544" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Credit: Reddit / cheddarbobbin[/caption] You really cannot go wrong with such a simple shaming and calling-out method. The jerkerey here is well under control and what the excellent part of this is, is the fact that this is only a small part of the window. Hats off to you and your anti-jerk ways! [post_page_title]#5 Blunt-Force Shaming[/post_page_title] Stealing is wrong, we have established that, but stealing the tips of those working long hours, for low wages and having to deal with people such as those who populate a list such as this is nothing short of abhorrent. [caption id="attachment_4545" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Credit: Reddit / Southernboyj[/caption] Working in service is hard and takes its toll. Tips make it better, remember that. I do like a side order of shame with my tips, especially if it's directed at people like the above. [post_page_title]#6 Lying Customer Caught With Their Image Search Down[/post_page_title] Ah, the complainers of this world. Some do it well and admirably, others less so and simply just because they can or have little meaning in their lives. Either way, working in the food and service industry has taught me how commonplace this really is. However, some people truly underestimate us simple workers... [caption id="attachment_4546" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Credit: Toasty_eggos-[/caption] Excellent.

[caption id="attachment_4547" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Credit: Reddit / Unknown[/caption] This. Imagine getting something for free and not only ruining it for the next person but throwing the gesture back in the faces of those kind enough to do so and then just leave in blissful ignorance. [post_page_title]#8 It's Hard To Argue Sometimes...[/post_page_title] This next entry is one of those you can't really dispute the annoyance towards. I mean, this must have had to happen an innumerable amount of times before this sign went up!

[post_page_title]#9 A Customer Wanted To Return Some Produce Because "It Was Too Ripe." I Asked Him If He Had Already Tried Eating It Anyway And He Said "Does It Look Like I Touched It?"[/post_page_title] This is... [caption id="attachment_4549" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Credit: Imgur / nakedlynutricious[/caption] Incredible. What thought process would lead to the justification for even A) attempting this and B) convincing yourself post-surgical procedure to take it back to the store in the first place. The mind boggles. [post_page_title]#10 Wandering Through The Store, When Suddenly I Smell Piss. Stay Trashy Salt Lake[/post_page_title] In most nations of the world, where large stores are prevalent, it is a legal requirement that toilet facilities are made available to customers.

[post_page_title]#11 When Parents Let Their Kids Destroy The Thrift Store[/post_page_title] On a personal level, whenever I have had to serve families, I expect the worst. It is common enough that tiny-humans make a little mess and for the most part it is excusable. However, sometimes, that isn't the worst part of this all-too-common equation. [caption id="attachment_4551" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Credit: Reddit / Unsafeturtle[/caption] Control your kids, parents, and if they do get somewhat out of hand - CLEAN. IT. [post_page_title]#12 Store Clerks Had To Lock The Freezers After The Recent Trashy Trend Of People Going Around Stores, Opening Containers And Licking The Top Of The Ice Cream Before Putting It Back[/post_page_title] I can understand really wanting to try things, really, but this next entry takes food shopping to a new level. [caption id="attachment_4552" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Credit: Reddit / HaseebM1[/caption] The new level being, not actually shopping, rather ruining the days of others and costing businesses money for no more than a few near-non-beneficial moments of pleasure on the taste buds. Get in the sea. [post_page_title]#13 This Is Amusing But Still. This Would Be About $2![/post_page_title] Much like the person from which this image is sourced, I did partake in a chuckle. [caption id="attachment_4553" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Credit: Reddit / BlueberryPuffy[/caption] That said and light-humor aside, all you are really doing is depriving a child and/or setting a bad example for one. Shame on you! [post_page_title]#14 Girl Wants Some Company To Go And Steal From The Dollar Store[/post_page_title] This next one is utterly incredible in its epitome of everything that is wrong with the developed world.

[caption id="attachment_4555" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Credit: Reddit / heavymetal7[/caption] Another incredible attitude on show - captured and adequately shamed for all to see and learn from. [post_page_title]#16 Just Chillin At The Coffee Shop[/post_page_title] Coffee shops are a modern delight. Catch up with friends, get some work done or just get away from it all with some tasty caffeinated beverages, put your feet up, FIGURATIVELY. [caption id="attachment_4556" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Credit: Reddit / geekaz01d[/caption] It was meant, FIGURATIVELY. [post_page_title]#17 People Testing Spray Paint At Ollies[/post_page_title] Fun is fun but being a moron is as thus! [caption id="attachment_4557" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Credit: Reddit / Madsuperninja[/caption] Imagine caring little about others enough to make their day hell. I bet they didn't know the person who had to clean that up. Cameras exist and I hope they were caught. [post_page_title]#18 Customer Throwing Cup He Peed In At Me Because I Didn't Let Him Use Our Employees Only Bathroom[/post_page_title] Letting people use the toilet one of those things that if possible, most people would allow in most businesses and places of work but employees-only areas are there for a reason. A reason this next human-being clearly could not fathom. [caption id="attachment_4558" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Credit: Reddit / GrimmReaper[/caption] The fact that this person took the time to not only pee on sight but to hurl at the poor person just doing his job speaks volumes. Karma comes around, and it has been said that it's made of waste fluid.

[post_page_title]#20 People Keep Stealing Little Buddha Figurines From This Store At My Local Mall[/post_page_title] Post act, the people who thought that a little free shopping would bless them would come back to a simple yet effective shaming. [caption id="attachment_4562" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Credit: Reddit / wtfkritonimo[/caption] I mean, it's a little paraphrased, but it's still profoundly correct. [post_page_title]#21 Spotted Some Opened Up, Upside Down Nail Polish Bottles At Our Local Target[/post_page_title] Make the world pretty again. [caption id="attachment_4563" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Credit: Reddit / Iwantyourtacos[/caption] Said no one ever when talking about nail varnish and such. I mean, they're even reduced so people will buy them, what's the point here what has been achieved? I DEMAND ANSWERS! [post_page_title]#22 This Is How A Table Left The Tip For One Of My Servers[/post_page_title] Tipping in some cultures is expected, and in others, it is simply encouraging to varying degrees. Either way, it's a nice gesture and affirmation of hard work, totaling up to help with modern living costs. In short, it's a simple pleasant gesture. [caption id="attachment_4564" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Credit: Reddit / LightsSoundAction[/caption] This person decided that the hard work of the kitchen, servers and all clearly wasn't enough and chose to leave a gauntlet ahead of those who dared.

[caption id="attachment_4565" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Credit: Reddit / verucasallt[/caption] is... ...way too real. [post_page_title]#24 Bringing Your Kid With You To An Adult Toy Shop[/post_page_title] I am astounded. Not only do people not want to imagine anyone they know taking part in carnal pleasures, but when it's your parents, it really takes the biscuit. Usually, it's a simple "ewwwwww, shut up!" and all is defused. However... [caption id="attachment_4566" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Credit: Reddit / theorangehorns[/caption] ... things such as this also happen. *shudder* [post_page_title]#25 Someone Put Out Their Cigarette In A Dog Dish Outside This Local Shop...[/post_page_title] It's a nice touch when businesses leave water bowls for our four-legged furry life partners. [caption id="attachment_4567" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Credit: Reddit / MonsterThumb101[/caption] This, however, is just ignorant, and I should think what makes this worse, is that there was a cigarette bin just out of shot. Shame, shammmmeeeee, SHAAAAAMMMMEEEEEE! Poor woofers! [post_page_title]#25 Decided They Didn’t Want Their Bag Of Frozen Chicken Breasts So Why Not Leave Them Here To Drip Over Everything Below It[/post_page_title] Food hygiene is a must in the modern world, and it's something that more and more people are aware of now. It's only beneficial really. [caption id="attachment_4568" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Credit: Reddit / JuliusTweezer[/caption] Or, as it happens, apparently not. Mmmmm, tasty stomach quivering oatmeal cremes, you can really taste the meat protein, just how I like them! [post_page_title]#25 Customer Left This Note Instead Of Tip[/post_page_title] Once again, the service industry is an absolute institution in the modern world and an industry myself and many others have absolute open respect for! The key and operative word there is "many", a word that implies "not all". [caption id="attachment_4569" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Credit: Imgur / BallsackHippo[/caption] I'm calling it! It's time to reinstate conscription! I've had enough! Three years of compulsory work in food and service! Humour and deserved shaming and calling out aside, this would teach people like this smug individual some manners. [post_page_title]#26 When You Steal A Bra From The Store, But Replace It With Your Old One[/post_page_title] Of all the resources I have at my disposal for this list of absolute astonishment and resulting solidarity, it is here that near the end, I have chosen to "step it up a notch" - sorry! - size. [caption id="attachment_4570" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Credit: Reddit / AngryLittlePhoenix[/caption] Yes, what you are seeing with your naturally-grown ocular devices is exactly what you have established it to be. [post_page_title]#27 A Customer Tried It On Their Dog And Put It Back On The Shelf[/post_page_title] Some people see the world through "try before you buy" spectacles. [caption id="attachment_4571" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Credit: Reddit / NotAnotherGummyBear[/caption] It is said that the new line of "try-specs" also comes with an engraving that reads: "Don't fret, someone else will sort that for you". [post_page_title]#28 Customer Leaves Dirty Diaper On Restaurant Table For Waitress To Dispose Of[/post_page_title] Once again, this one strikes a little personal resonation, of which I will tell you why once your disbelief at the title has dissipated post-scroll. [caption id="attachment_4573" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Credit: Reddit / thirdcoastgirlll[/caption] A customer at my previous bar did nearly the very same, putting a used diaper filled to bursting in the dry-waste bin nested in a central location. I wonder how they deal with this occurrence in their own home? My sense of smell curious... [post_page_title]#29 Someone Just Made This Mess, Dropped A Few Napkins On It, And Then Left...[/post_page_title] Yet another example of disregard, recorded to shame and educate. This is your trigger-warning! Scroll away... [caption id="attachment_4574" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Credit: Reddit / illicitz[/caption] What makes this even worse is not only the mess itself, but the overtly sub-par manner in which the person in question has hastily and very, very poorly thrown some napkins down and made a quick exit. You'd just go up and say something surely?! No? Just me? Urgh. [post_page_title]#30 What Is It In Your Cleavage... At The Grocery Store?[/post_page_title] Scroll down slowly for this one and prepare yourself. Had I not ended this list of ten multiplied by three with this image, I would have failed you all, let alone myself. In all honesty, I had to stare at this one for far more than I would have liked, simply take it all in before pondering (again, for far too long), HOW this has even happened?! [caption id="attachment_4575" align="aligncenter" width="800"] Credit: Reddit / yourmomak[/caption] Once I had ascertained that this indeed WASN'T baguette or parsnip and settled on the reality of its phallic nature, it only served to propagate more and more questions. I've seen some things in my time working behind bars and in restaurants, but this list has been an interesting read. Don't be like these people.
