Over het algemeen geldt: ‘de klant is koning’. Maar soms zijn de eisen van klanten behoorlijk van de zotte en dat wordt gedeeld op Twitter.
1. Soms denken klanten dat je verder geen leven hebt… of andere klanten.
What’s the most ridiculous demand a customer has made of you? I’ll go first: when I was working retail, a woman once demanded I pick her up from her Botox appointment with my car & bring her to the mall to shop

2. Dinosaurussen zijn schuw en lastig te fotograferen.
Customer’s child is doing a project on dinosaurs. Customer cannot believe we don’t have a single book with actual photographs of real dinosaurs.

3. Je moet het hem geven: hij bleef behulpzaam.
I told a supermarket customer that, while we had run out of milk, the delivery was in the loading bay and I’d get his milk once the meat delivery was out of the way.
He yelled “I’ll have your job.”
I assured him “wait right here sir,” and got him an application.— Dorian Plum (@DorianPlum) February 1, 2020
4. Maar soms vragen ze het onmogelijke.
I worked in an aviary with 60+ exotic birds. A photographer came in and asked if I could get all of the birds to fly down and sit in one place for a group picture. I thought he was joking and asked if he wanted them arranged shortest to tallest. He said “yes please!”in earnest.

5. Zijn hond luisterde vast mee.
I work at a pet supply store. One time a customer called to set up a delivery. He wanted a dog toy in his order but didn’t know which one. I had to pick out toys and squeak them into the phone for him until he heard the “right one.”

6. Deze is eigenlijk ook best schattig.
A dude in a truck came through the Krispy Kreme drive through when I was working there as a teenager…he bought a single donut hole, then pulled forward so I could feed it to his dog (who was in the back of the truck)

7. Dan heb je klanten op vakantie die verwachten dat alles zoals thuis is.
I worked in Thailand in a Thai restaurant and we had a guy argue with the Thai owner that the red curry was wrong because it didn’t look the same as when he got it in LA.

8. En klanten die denken dat ‘manager’ het toverwoord is.
A man once threw a fit and yelled at me that he wanted to speak to a manager right that instant. I’m a flight attendant. We were on an airplane.

9. Het is nog best indrukwekkend dat ze dat niet heeft teruggeroepen.
A woman once demanded a refund on a product because, “Nothing should ever expire!”
I didn’t have the heart to tell her one day even she would expire.

10. En haarverf gaat ook niet eeuwig mee.
A customer demand a refund when her roots grew in her natural color. She insisted “permanent haircolor” meant forever. I wish I was joking.

11. Begrijp dat nou, Carl.
I used to work at an outdoor tennis court and a man would always call me to ask if it was raining. He lived five blocks away. Look out your friggen window Carl.

12. Soms zijn klanten ontzettend verstrooid.
Bought $1200 worth of tiny glass decor at Pier 1, made me wrap each piece individually, and then made me unwrap each piece bc she was convinced I wrapped her credit card. It was in her wallet, in her car

13. Liet hij de auto staan?
While working at a gas station, an older dude asked for a refund on gas he just pumped because he CHANGED his mind. I had to explain that since the gas was now IN his car, there was nothing I could do. He got upset and DEMANDED I take the gas back… then stormed off.

14. Wat wil je nou?
Bagging a large grocery order I was told not to use too many bags, and also not to make them too heavy.
Physics has laws, ma’am.

15. Ze had haar een encyclopedie moeten geven.
I watched a woman demand that my coworker give her a haircut. It was a book store.

16. Dit roept een hoop vragen op.
While I was working in the seafood dept in a grocery store someone came up to the counter and asked if we gave “free samples” of the items. I told them no. Since everything in the counter was raw and needed to be cooked anyways. He then bought the squid and ate it at the counter.

17. Conclusie: de klant is niet altijd koning.
I once had a customer tell me that the customer is always right and then got offended when I told him, “No, I’m the professional. Why would a customer know more about my job than me?”
