Unless I am directly and intentionally wronged by the person in front of me, I tend to be pretty polite and sociable.

Here's a classic some have probably heard before.  A guy at the airline ticket counter wasn't happy about something and resorted to the "Do you know who I am."  (who hasn't heard that one?)

The girl attendant got on the loud speaker..."Attention passengers.  We have a gentleman at the  counter who doesn't know who he is.  If anyone could identify him,  it would be greatly appreciated."

Friend of mine just posted this. Thought it fits this thread:

David Sedaris has a great line from his memoir "Santaland Diaries" about his time as a Christmas elf at Macy's Herald Square. On Christmas Eve one particularly insane customer said to him "I'm going to have you fired!" His response, pure perfection. "I'm going to have you killed."

I once had a customer say that while he was in the midst of bitching up a storm about me failing to warranty something that was out of warranty.

After a spittle laced swearing tirade in front of other customers and their kids...

Him: "I will have you fired!"

Me:  "Really?

Him:  "You are damn right I will you smart ass!"

Me: (Rolls eyes) "Good luck with that."

Him "Where is the fucking manager?"

Me:  followed by...(Points at the door while whispering)  "The owner is right through that "fucking" door. I will take you to him."

Him: "You are fucking done for!"

He and the boss had a fairly loud conversation about his attitude and my response.

The boss told him to GTFO and told me he agreed with me.  

I posted another story about a rotten customer here a good while back and was promptly shat on by GD's best and brightest with posts like...  "Where is your work so I can let others know to avoid it!" and other such posts.  With a good spattering of positive posts.

Sometimes customers need to be fired too.

Back when I used to work for Pizza Hut, the manager fired a customer. At the time (late '90's) we were one of two "nice" restaurants in town, with everything else being fast food of some type. Small town in TN. We did not deliver, and did not take credit cards. Cash or check only. Anyway, this one woman would call in and order the same pizza every Saturday: medium pan supreme pizza. About 20 minutes after she picked it up, every time without fail, she would call to complain that something was wrong with her pizza. The manager on duty would put her info in the book where we recorded who gets a free pizza due to a mistake or whatever. After a month or two, the head manager noticed that it was becoming a trend. So, when her order came in, he made her pizza, personally, to spec. When it came out of the oven, it looked as close to the pictures in the advertisements as it was possible to make.

Sure enough, about half an hour after she picked up her pizza, she called to complain. We were instructed to get him when she called. He told her that he, personally, made her pizza and there was nothing wrong with it. He then told her that she would not be receiving any more free pizza, and if he were in her shoes, he would not patronize a restaurant that got her order wrong so many times. When she started raising her voice, he told her that she was no longer welcome in the restaurant.

I miss working at a speed shop. People would buy parts cheap at Jegs or Summit then try to return them at our shop.

We had a lot of young guys learning the ropes so if a customer escalated the shop rep would get younger and younger.

Counter guy maybe 25 years old.

Customer service rep maybe 21

Manager 19

If they went further they'd meet the 16 year old shop sweep "owner."

One of THE BEST customer outrage revenge stories I ever heard was taught to me by a kid with Down's Syndrome

His mother told me this story.

Her son worked in the grocery store bagging groceries. This young man always has to bag everything just perfect. So one day as he was bagging, apparently he was taking a little bit longer than the consumer appreciated so she snapped at him "OH WOULD YOU JUST HURRY UP!!"

He quickly finishes and hands her the bags while saying (I love this) "I'm sorry, I hope tomorrow is a better day for you"

The next day the woman comes in to the store asking to speak to the manager. The woman looked like she did not have a good nights sleep and asked to speak to the young man. She sees him and apologizes for the way she spoke to him yesterday and just could not sleep at all last night.

The young man said "Don't worry about it. I forgot about it right after you left"

Me too. Not too long ago I got nailed for speeding in the rural county I live in. The following week, after a shitshow of a work day, head over to pay the fine. The "address" for the JP was something like "a mile west of FM whatever, turn left, JP 1/4 mile on the right". So when I get there I half joke about it. Eldery lady in her 70s mentions it's because nobody could find it otherwise. We end up shooting the shit about guns cause of the shirt I'm wearing. Convo turns to work due to my mentioning just got off work at 0800 and headed straight to pay the fine. She reflects, it must be a good gig as I seemed happy!

Truth was I was fried after 12 hour shift of hell, was paying a couple hundred for the ticket and just wanted a drink and sleep. But I sure as hell wouldn't take it out on another person just doing thier job. It really ain't that hard to be civilized even for an antisocial prick on a bad day, such as myself.

Exactly.  Only a sack of shit takes out their frustration on some hapless minion that mans the register.  Any business with half a brain behind it would tell that woman to high-tail her ass off the property and never set foot there again.  Too many other customers that aren't raging ass-faces to tolerate that crap.  Instead it seems businesses will allow that behavior and reprimand their employee for not bending over backwards to reward it.

What really pisses me off about dealing with poophead customers is when you have a pussy for a boss, it was like you got screwed twice, once by mr or ms a. hole, and then by the boss.

Real bosses do not let customers screw with their employees, and take corrective measures to make sure it never happens again

The retired GWOT army vet manager I had at a pizza chain in TX would ban customers who didn’t tip, were abusive to drivers, or just assholes. It sucked to lose money or deal with a hole, but at least you never had to deal with that hole again.

My manager at the same chain in CO was the total opposite. Every customer complaint no matter how ridiculous was valid. You were losing even more money redelivering an order for nothing, and having to deal with another round of abuse from the impossible to please “customer”. That spineless mofo cost me a few profitable shifts, nothing worse than going home in the hole instead of being paid.

My manager at a major outdoor retail chain was pretty lousy too, he’d let abusive customers walk all over us then blame us for not making them happy.

I’m not saying managers need to do like Ace in Casino with the dude with his feet on the table, but a ban and trespass makes your business a much better place for your employees and the customers who’ll actually make you money.

A customer is someone whose transactions add to your bottom line, and whose presence improves the atmosphere of your business. You lose nothing by tossing out an oxygen thief and timewaster who costs you money and brings down the morale of the establishment.

I agree......

We fire 3-5 customers each year for being jerks. We find we make enough without having to deal with people who have no manners. The worst part is they complain that we charge too much for the work performed. We are 75% of the cost of the average in our area. So we are the lowest priced in town. We run a very low cost operation so we make the money needed to support ourselves. Yet there will be a couple of customers will arrive in a Lexus, $500 dollar boots, $300 jeans, etc and then say they can't afford a simple $150 tax return that includes, stocks, rentals, 1099s etc. We send down the road.

About tipping. What is the deal these days. I see parties of 8-10 people who will literally tear a place apart, food and trash everywhere, then leave a $4 dollar tip and act as if they just gave away the world.

I like / love the Home Depot. They have what I need and people who can actually help working the aisles. What gets me is the "loaders". One day I bought a bunch of concrete and wanted a bit of help loading it by hand. I forget why, but the lift wasn't available. Regardless, the cashier was very helpful and was spot on including getting the "loader" and giving him his assignment to help me load. Not 2 seconds after he got out of her sight, he made a hard right turn and walked away.

I ended up loading the thing myself. I was pissed.

Then next time I had a big load, the cashier, (same one), offered a "loader" again as she was trained to do. I told her not to bother as they were useless. She paused for a moment and then said, you are right they are. I felt so much  better after that.

I worked for Home Depot for a time.
Best response I ever heard was from an assistant manager who was a retired Marine Master Sergeant.

One customer was giving a new cashier a very hard time over something she had no control over, he demanded to see "the manager".

The manager, after listening to the guys complaint asked him what did he want him to do.
The customer said "I want a 50% discount, a gift card and I want this employee fired".
The manager said the best he could do was either a $25 dollar gift card or 10% off of his purchase.
The customer refused and demanded the same thing as before.
The manager said how about a compromise, I'll give you the item for free and I'll shoot the cashier.

The customer froze in place and stammered out "please don't shoot her in front of me" and then left without his purchase.

I've had the best results with just staying calm and polite and asking them point blank if they feel their behavior is appropriate or warranted given the circumstances. Then tell them exactly why you think they are wrong. Generally the person's behavior is so bad they have no way of defending it.

They may not admit on the spot they are being an asshole but I guarantee they are going to think about what you said. I think it's really difficult to discount the words of a calm reasonable person telling them they are wrong and why.

Ive had people come back and apologize using that tactic. I've actually had people on the spot admit they are wrong and apologize.
