Recently we asked members of BuzzFeed Community the weirdest thing a customer has ever said to them. Here are the hilarious, horrifying and most WTF answers.

2. I work at Subway, and a man came in who was off his face. When I asked him what cheese he would like, he replied "Give me the cheese that will make me glow in the dark".

3. Had a customer order an ice cream cone. Yep, sure. They requested a small one. Not unreasonable, fairly common with people who have small children. Anyway, I get this guy his ice cream cone, hand it to him, and he asks "Do you believe in unicorns?"
I was a bit taken aback, so I just nodded. He looked me dead in the eye, said "Me too, and I'm about to show you one", stuck the ice cream cone to his head, said "Neigh" and pranced off.

4. I worked at Subway in high school and one morning at 10:30, this man walked into the store clearly high. He looked at me straight in the eyes and said "I want a six inch velociraptor teriyaki." I asked if he meant chicken, and he responded with "No, I want velociraptor. I want it straight from Jurassic Park." Best customer ever.

6. I just started working at McDonald's. On my second day, a woman pulled up to the drive thru, ordered her food... and asked me for a sausage sticker. I said, "Excuse me?" She said, "You know, a sausage sticker. A sticker with a sausage on it." I said, "That doesn't make any sense." She became somewhat belligerent and said, "A sticker with a picture of a sausage on it? You know, a SAUSAGE?" Like I didn't know what a goddamned sausage was. I said I'll check with my manager, and as I was going to find her, I heard this lady's voice enticingly whisper into my headset, "I'll pay you for it. If that's what it takes, I'll pay you for it".
In the end, she got the sticker, leaving me with a headache and no money.
Welcome to McDonald's.

11. After making a lady's cappuccino she decided to ask me if I've ever tried a moon cup. A cup you insert into your vagina to collect the period instead of using regular tampons or pads. She told me about moon cups for five minutes while her two young boys were telling her to stop talking to everyone about moon cups.

14. I work in a coffee shop and a girl comes and goes "Hi, I'll have a coffee, just gotta go to the banks to get some banks." She handed me $5 and she started walking out. I asked what coffee she wanted before she left and she replied "The name's Jen" and left.
She really needed a coffee.

16. I work in a greenhouse on the outskirts of a wealthier town, so we get quite a mix of people. One morning when loading up a ladies car with flowers, she whipped out a legit SCROLL from her glove compartment and I stood there for twenty five minutes while she read to me the entire story of the Israelites.

20. I used to work at a fast food restaurant in high school. One day I was taking an order in the drive thru and they seemed completely normal. When she pulled up to the window, she had a chicken puppet on her hand and when I told her the total she yelled "LOOK THE CHICKEN IN HER EYES, NOT ME!"

22. I used to work for a well known make-up brand. One day a women came up to me and told me I had lovely big eyes. She then proceeded to start pulling on both of my eyelids, dragging them downwards telling me "You'll hate them when you're older. I used to have lovely big eyes but now my eyelids droop. Gravity and age. Horrible. Poor girl." She then walked away as if nothing had happened.
