That's not my worst story, I had another customer who I swear it took me at LEAST 5 to 10 minutes (although it felt more like half an hour) to get her type the letter 'Z' on the keyboard.lbucyk said:
Some years back I worked in a movie and game rental store.One day a woman comes up to the counter with several PS1 games.She asks me if they will work on her kids PC.I politely explain that they won't and will only work on a Playstation console.She seemed baffled by this as "the discs are the same as the ones the computer uses"(which they weren't PS1 discs had a black surface instead of shiny).After spending several minutes trying to explain she insisted on renting them anyway
30 minutes later she storms back into the store looking quite annoyed and says "these games you rented to me earlier don't work".I felt like banging my head on the counter in front of her
That's the one that always stands out in my mind but there's others like the guy who complained that we didn't have enough Westerns and that we should make more of them.I had to politely point out that we had nothing to do with movie production
Or the guy who came in every week looking for a copy of "The Big Lebowski"(just to clarify due to a dispute with the distribution company we never received that movie).Every week I told him we didn't have it and wouldn't be getting it and yet every week he showed up without fail looking for it

Two come to mind that happened in the same day.
"Do you sell any hemp products?" - walk-in customer
"Are your lotions safe for use...'down there'?" - via phone
I have had customers argue with me that the $12 hand lotion is a better buy than the $10.50 body lotions.

We sell truckmounted carpet cleaning equipment and cover a 4 state area. Customer on the phone: "My machine is leaking water/oil/other. Where is it coming from?" Geeee, we're 400 miles away from you, but we'll just call our CIA spy satellites and examine your machine for you to determine where this leak is.
Have to make sure people aren't buying alcohol for minors. If a group of young people come buy alcohol, chances are they're all drinking it, not just the ones who are of legal age. Keep in mind, the US is much more anal about drinking age than Canada is. Alcohol is Satan's Piss down here in the Land of Moral Guardians.MaxPowers666 said:
I use to work apple tech support. I had a call come in from a lady that got some crumbs in between the keys of her macbook pro. The lady put the mac in the dishwasher to clean out the crumbs and then didn't understand why the mac wouldn't work after.
Because, she could be buying it for her underage friend, boyfriend, whatever.MaxPowers666 said:
When my wife and I celebrated our reunion after our separation, I took her out for our anniversary (one hell of a coincidence that we got back together right after, within a day, of our anniversary) and bought her alcohol. She left her ID in the car, but the server let us get away with me buying her alcohol. Well, she was only 19, but I was 21... THAT is why you card the entire party.
I work at McDonalds
The other week a man comes up to the till and says to me 'I want an Angus Burger'
I went 'Sorry we don't do Angus Burgers'
To which he replied 'Burger King do'
'....SEE THAT GIANT FUCKING M OUTSIDE, NOT FOOKING BURGER KING ARE WE'

Heres a game stop,
Customer: "Do you have the Super Mario Game on Xbox?"
Employee: "Ma'am we do not, Mario games are only available on wii."
Customer: "No, I'm sure I had a coupon, lemme get my purse and-"
Employee: "Ma'am I can assure you that there are no Mario games on Xbox360"
Customer: "Then can you point me to another store that has one?"
I was practically superman to the Employee when I explained to her everything. In the end, she just got Guitar Hero 3 for the kid.

I think this might be more crazy than dumb but... I used to work in the restaurant of a hotel, and one time we had this group come in to stay, they were archaeologists and were visiting local sites using the hotel as a base. On the first morning at the self-service breakfast stand a woman started becoming hysterical that there were bacon and sausages on offer, then got more so when she saw the fried eggs, she demanded to see the manager and asked him why there were such things on offer. Turned out she was a militant vegan and was offended that we had such things on display where she could see them, saying it was ruining her stay. Mercifully the group threw her out the next day, after having to endure her whining about everything on the menu at night and telling everyone how the food they were eating was cruel.

Ok so I was working customer service for Apple and I get a call. A customer had just purchased an iPhone and said it wasn't working. I asked him what he did so far and what buttons he may have pressed. He replied saying that he saw no buttons. I asked him what he did see and he said a siver plate with the word iPhone on it. He was holding it backwards.
