(I work at a farmer’s market. One customer is a Thursday regular who always buys single teabags.)
Customer: “I am looking for a good green tea.”
Me: “Well, ma’am, I certainly have a large selection—”
Customer: *holding up a Sushi Bar Green Tea* “Oh my lord, this doesn’t have real sushi in it, does it?”
Me: “What? Oh! No. That just means it is like the green tea found at sushi bars.”
Customer: “Oh, good! For a minute there, I thought it was raw fish flavored!”

(A customer with a thick Southern-US accent comes in, starts looking at me and frowns.)
Customer: “Hey, you.”
Me: “Hello, madam. How may I help you?”
Customer: “Do you understand me?”
Me: “Why, yes, I do.”
Customer: *sighs* “But my friend told me all you stupid hicks up here speak Spanish!”
Me: “Well, that’s a bit odd. We aren’t located anywhere near Mexico, Spain or anywhere in Europe.”
Customer: “Liar! Just so you know, I went to college and I know d*** well where this state is!”
Me: “I’m sorry?”
Customer: “You b****! You ‘re a stupid hick who thinks she knows everything! I know d*** well where this state is!”
Me: “I’m quite certain Montana is located in the northwest corner of the USA.”
Customer: “Ugh! Make me teach the brainless rednecks! It’s not in the northwest, you dumb f***! It’s in the south, by the country Idaho!”
Me: *speechless*
(The customer rolls her eyes and storms out of the store.)

(Our tea shop closes at 9pm. The time is currently 9:10. There is one couple and their child still in the store. I am cleaning the bathroom. The customer opens the bathroom door.)
Me: “I’m sorry, I’m cleaning this bathroom.”
Customer: “But my son has to go.”
Me: “I’m using bleach, it’s very dangerous here. I can’t let you use the bathroom.”
Customer: “But my son has to go!”
Me: “I can’t let you use it. We’re already closed and I have to finish cleaning.”
Customer: *to another employee* “Your crazy cleaning lady won’t let my son use the bathroom. Can I speak to your manager?”
Co-worker: “That was the manager.”
(The customer silently grabs his wife and son and walks out without another word.)

Me: “For a quick cup of tea, this is a simple infuser to use.”
Customer: “Infuser? What’s that mean?”
Me: “Oh, it’s just another word for something that you use to steep tea in hot water.”
Customer: “What’s that mean?”
Me: “Steep? It’s just another word for brewing.”
Customer: *blank stare*
Me: “It means ‘make tea’.”
Customer: “Oooooh!”
