We recently asked members of the BuzzFeed Community to tell us the most annoying thing a retail customer can do. Here are some of the responses.
1. When a customer lies about having talked with a manager.
2. When a customer tries to return an item without a receipt.
3. When a customer can't distinguish between sale and non-sale items.
4. When a customer's item doesn't scan and they say the most groan-worthy line in retail history.
5. When a customer is shocked at the total price.
6. When a customer hands you their trash.
7. When a customer asks "Do you work here?"
8. When a customer gets angry over you asking for a donation.
9. When a customer gets angry over being asked to show an ID.
10. When a customer doesn't have their change ready, despite spending ages queuing.
11. When a customer cuts you off mid-greeting.
12. And when a customer slides their money over the counter, instead of just handing it to you.
13. When a customer thinks they're the most important customer in the store.
14. When a customer gets mad over an expired coupon they can't use.
15. When a customer asks for an employee discount.
16. When a customer gives an incredibly vague description of what they're after, and gets angry when you can't figure it out.
17. When a customer continues their phone call while you're serving them.
18. Or when a customer has their headphones in while being served.
19. When a customer thinks "the back" is some magical hiding place for products.
20. When a customer is standing outside 20-30 minutes before the store opens.
21. When a customer assumes that you have to be 40 years old to be a manager.
22. When a customer doesn't put anything back on the shelf.
23. When a customer acts like you're the one who sets the prices.
