Always Right, Even When Calling The Wrong Store

Clothing Retailer | Norman, OK, USA

Me: “Thank you for calling *******, how may I direct your call?”

Customer: “Lumber, please.”

Me: “Sir, we do not have a lumber department.”

Customer: “Yes you do. I was just in there and I bought 4 boxes of roof shingles.”

Me: “Sir, I think you have us mistaken for *****.”

Customer: “Don’t correct me. I know where I just left from buying roof shingles.”

Me: “Sir, we do not now nor have we ever sold roof shingles.”

Customer: “I have my receipt right here. It says *****.”

Me: “That’s fine sir, but this is *******, not *****.”

Customer: “Let me speak to your manager!”

(After another 30 minutes of arguing with my manager we just transfered him to hardware so he could yell at them for not selling shingles.)

Overuse Of The Discrimination Card

Bookstore | Ontario, Canada

Customer: “Do you have any maps of South Africa?” (We’re in Ontario, Canada.)

Me, having a look: “No, it seems we don’t. Your best bet will be online or to wait till you get there.”

Customer: “But you have maps of everywhere else! I looked in the computer and it said you had them!”

Me: “Did we have any in stock?”

Customer: “You have maps of places all over the states, but not South Africa.”

Me: “I guess there’s more interest cause people can drive there.”

Customer: “This is discrimination! I want a map of South Africa.”

Me: “Let me go check the computer again.” *runs*
