Salutations!
Been a lurker for a while now. I live in a land I shall refer to as "JohnDeereistan" and I used to work retail at a local grocery store, so I can relate to many of the horror stories revolving around helmet-worthy customers.
After College(tm) I got into graphic design - so now I work with a whole different kind of customer (not better, just different). I used to work at a print shop (have quite a few war stories from that) and now work at a Newspaper, so it's gone from dealing with the customers to dealing with the Ad Reps dealing with customers. Still much suck to be found, though a lot of it now revolves around co-workers and office politics, not so much the actual customers.
Which brings up a question: I do have some sucky customers, and it's obvious where those posts should go - but many posts would deal with the OfficeMonkeys I work with; where should those posts go? Do they have a place here?
It's very cathartic to be able to read about others issues and gaze in awe at the horrible crap some (very venerable) souls have to put up with on a daily basis.
