On Off The Charts, Ferg asked you to send in your worst encounters with customers and as usual you came up with some stories that would make Stephen King pee his pants.
Here's just some of the customer fueled nightmares...
"You're not going to believe this story about bad customers but I'll tell you anyway.
I worked as a retail manager for years and had a lot of strange returns as would be expected, of course you have to be professional and adopt the 'customer is always right' attitude.
HOWEVER, I think I had the worst possible return one day not long before I left the job. A woman brought back a.. wait for it... 2 year old USED toilet brush. I basically ran her! I was so disgusted, people are animals"
'Hi Fergal, customers used to change their babies in our changing rooms in Next when I worked there and leave the soiled nappies there for us to dispose of. It was vile.'
'The customer that comes in at a minute to closing time asking about the whole set up of a tropical fish tank, spends half an hour, lights slowly being turned off to get the hint & buys nothing in the end!'
"I hate when you're busy in a bar..and someone comes up and orders a few drinks.. and when u ask Is that it? they say 'Oh and a pint of Guinness..ffsake..pet hate.com"
"Fergal... I once worked in a nightclub in Galway and saw a customer steal a certain DJ's converse trainer while he crowd surfed... bad customer experience right there haha Stephen G in Galway ;)"
"The worst I saw for years doing security was people going into shop fill a bag of pick mix & start to eat the sweets while doing the shopping & when going to pay the pick n mix is weighed cost is 50cent instead of 6euro or more"
"Here's one for you Fergal many years ago I worked in a top notch hotel with full silver service in restaurant. A man came in for lunch one day and afterwards proceeded to take his teeth out and clean them with a fork !! We had to stand by and watch him do it as back then the customer was always right. It will go with me to the grave!! Ann marie in wexford"
"Hi fergal
I used to work in superquinn as a cashier. One day I was serving a woman at the till. When I told her the price of her shopping instead of a bag or a pocket, she reached into her BRA, had a bit of a rummage before pulling out a sweaty 20 pound note. 'there you go' she says... I had no choice but to take it... Yuck!
