Customer tells me to go fuck myself simply cause I'm doing my job

[tropicsgoddess]

Dude I'm sorry. I hate ass-hat customers. I had one chuck a pen at me but seriously is it that hard to treat us like people?

My sister works for The iFruit store and told me that they had an SC throw their cellphone at one of her co-workers...management kicked out the SC but dunno anything else that happened after that.

If there wasn't anyone else around, I'd respond in a nice cheery manner as if life was rainbows and kittens and say, "Fuck you, too."

And I'd wave.

I've used the following, though these were as a substitute teacher:

"Sorry, I could get fired."
"Only if you could find it."
"Take a number and get in line."
"You couldn't afford it."
"Only if you buy me dinner first."

I was working at a bank (Not there anymore, it was... bad, I could probably make my own thread about it) when I got the f-bomb for, as a trainee, not processing his deposit fast enough.

Some people are just assholes.

I've never heard of a theater that lets you bring in anything from outside, so yours is an exception letting them bring in water. He should really have known that outside drinks aren't allowed. But of course, he's "special" so he shouldn't have to abide by the rules.

Exactly - EVERY theatre I've ever been in has that same rule. Although I was able to sneak water in cos it was in a shopping bag and they don't bag-search.

I mean this isn't something new. Sounds like they thought they could be special exceptions and when they found out they aren't special... they decided to be bitches

In this case I think I'd have said, "Sorry, sir, we don't allow that in the theater either."

Seriously, the fun thing is how substitutes get it and the students seem to think they did nothing wrong. This starts around sixth grade, and really takes off once they hit high school.

The best payback has been leaving it in notes to the teacher:

"Mister John Doe suggested I perform an impossible feat of anatomy on myself. He seemed to think it would shock me, so I expect you would like to know I am shocked at his ignorance."

Believe me when I tell you, I wanted to do just that, or give a reply like....
"Thank you for the compliment"
"Sorry, I don't fuck guys"
Of course even with a big smile on my face, he can go to the manager and say I was being sarcastic. Either way it seems to be a lose-lose situation for me.
Another theatre I worked at for the same company many years back allowed us to refuse service if they crossed the line, and I fully support this. Asshole customers like this should not get customer service.
