No Retail Employee Is Paid Enough For Any Of This

Everyone who works with customers comes across impossible requests sometimes. Here are just a few I’ve seen.

Customer #1: “Would you talk to my temp agency to be a reference for me?”

Me: “You want me to call your temp agency?”

Customer #1: “No, I want you to go there with me; we can take my car! We can go right now, if you want. Or after your shift. I don’t care which.”

And then there was this guy.

Customer #2: “Do you carry motor oil?”

Me: “No, we don’t, but [Auto Shop] does. We don’t sell car things here.”

Customer #2: “Would you walk over there, buy the oil, and bring it back for me?”

Me: “Sir, that’s several miles away.”

Customer #2: “So?”

Then, there were the guys who tried to physically force me to go to their party, for which they had just purchased over $300 worth of beer. They grabbed me by the arm and started pulling!
