30 Pics From Retail Workers Who Have Had It With Entitled Customers

I’ve worked my fair share of retail jobs, and I’m glad I did because now I know what it’s like on the other side of the counter.

At the very least, it taught me not to act like it’s the minimum-wage employee’s fault that my coupon has expired. A little patience goes a long way.

1. “I’ve started taking pictures at work of messes customers leave behind”

“Worst part is this isn’t the worst I’ve seen by a long shot”

2. “Keypad is tap only right now. Adding a label every time a customer inserts anyways. 3 hours left.”

3. “Customer told me I look like I belong on the streets”

4. “I always wonder what customers’ homes look like”

“Not even noon yet and my department is like this. Pillows tossed on the floor of every aisle. This one wasn’t the worst.

That “honor” belongs to the Neutrals aisle….because, of course, the mostly white pillows are the ones customer love tossing onto the floor the most.”

5. “Customer left a gallon of milk in the freezer, making it unsellable”

6. “Customers cannot possibly be serious”

“it’s the fact that there are 3 lines of carts and these people can’t fathom the thought of i don’t know.. PUTTING THE CART WHERE IT GOES?

I find it hilarious that its adults doing this… truly hilarious.”

7. “Must be so difficult being a customer”

8. “Customer tries to steal over $1400 worth of groceries”

“Basically, they tried to pull off a trick by scanning some of the items and taking off with the rest. They paid for one of the orders, $546 something.

Keep in mind we were about to close. When we closed, we had to tell them to finish up and pay, since they will not be able to pay for the remaining items until tomorrow. Police got involved as well.”

9. “Woman bought 24 pairs of sneakers online that all shipped in through 24 separate packages over thr course of 10 days”

“(my managers face says it all)

A woman ordered 24 pairs of Skechers to our store for pickup, each arriving in separate packages over 9 days. We had to call her every time one showed up, as per our procedure. When she finally came in, my manager and I brought all 24 boxes to the front. Our policy requires one signature per package, MEANING she had to sign 24 papers. While doing that, she demanded we unwrap each pair for her to check, then got frustrated halfway through, yelled at us, and complained she was in a rush. She left the unpacked shoes behind and said she’d be back. When she returned a whole week later, we had to wheel everything out on two carts and build custom boxes for her as per her request.

Now. Working in retail, I’m happy to go above and beyond to enhance customer experience, but what I will NOT do is take her level of rude. Maybe don’t be rude, rushed, or expect VIP treatment without basic decency.”

10. “This sign has magical powers”

“What power you ask? The second this is put in front of the bathrooms, the bladders of every customer in the store shrinks 5 sizes and they immediately ‘just need to go really quick.'”

11. “Spray Paint testing on the floor”

12. “Customer guessed I was around 3-4 months along. I’m not pregnant.”

13. “The way customers leave the fitting rooms at my job”

“People have no shame anymore I guess.”

14. “What cashier almost let a customer get away with using a fake $100 bill before I was able to catch it. seriously what does the training do for these people?”

15. “Customers let their kids draw all over the windows with crayons, left without saying anything then didn’t even leave my server a tip”

16. “Can you guess what customers keep doing?”

“The glass wasn’t completely busted a few hours ago. Only minorly cracked”

17. “Customer: is this cash only?”

18. “Lazy customers”

“Not first time I see this”

19. “No, please. You take it.”

“I’m breaking down my load, putting loose items into carts. A customer looks me dead in the eye as he takes everything out, tosses it into another cart, and walks off with mine.

Because it’s too far to walk to the front and grab one that someone isn’t using.

But hey, I’m just a retail worker, so forget me.”

20. “Now that it’s summer, it’s time for the sign. It’s sad how many customers don’t realize this is a common problem.”

21. “Walmart customers leaving carts in the handicapped spot”

22. “Customer came into the restaurant and gave the waiters this allergy list”

23. “It’s never gonna get cleaned up!!!!”

24. “A customer at work asked me if this register was open”

25. “Customer threw his Yoohoo on the floor because we didn’t have his preferred beer in stock.”

“There’s glass EVERYWHERE now. Thanks.”
