• From customers screaming fuck at employees
for no reason, to a dad accidentally poisoning
a bunch of kids, the Planet Dolan crew re-eneacts
some of the best true stories from our subreddit
about the worst customers they’ve ever interacted
with.
I’m Nixxiom and today I’ll be your narrator
10 – Simtimzero Andie
Several years back Andie was working returns
at a computer store.
It was a slow day before a customer burst
through the front door holding a dented iMac.
When he put it on the counter it became pretty
clear that the dent was a bullet hole.
After setting the computer down he just wandered
off towards the apple section.
20 minutes later, the guy comes back with
one of the sales people and a new iMac.
She began to try and tell him that she couldn’t
exchange a computer that had been shot, but
it turns out he was just going to buy a new
one and wanted the store to dispose it for
some reason.
Andie couldn’t help but ask how it happened.
He told her that he just so happened to be
cleaning his gun while checking his email
when he noticed a message from his daughter.
She confessed that she was working as a stripper
now.
Apparently, at this point the gun “accidentally”
went off at his $2,000 computer.
9 - RowCro Pringle
When Pringle was working self-check out at
a grocery store, a woman asked for some help
with a sale that wasn't working.
It was a “buy one, get one free” box of
some generic cereal.
After looking through her purchases, he pointed
out that she only had one box.
She earnestly replied that she had bought
the other box on a previous trip.
8 – BottledPride Melissa
One time Melissa was working the register
window at a McDonald's when she had an older
couple use the drive thru; they ordered a
McMuffin and a coffee.
The couple pulled up to her window.
They had a coupon to make the McMuffin only
cost a dollar, the same price as the coffee.
"But I thought it was only one dollar."
the lady complained after Melissa told her
the price.
Melissa died a little inside and explained
to her: “yes, the sandwich is only a dollar,
but so is the coffee, so it's two dollars
together.”
The lady continued on complaining that she
didn't get it.
Melissa mimed a coffee in one hand and a McMuffin
in the other.
"This one costs a dollar and this one costs
a dollar, if you put them together you’ve
got something that costs two dollars!" explained
Melissa.
The lady still didn’t get it, so the two
argued fruitlessly while the lady’s husband
was laughing his ass off in the passenger's
seat.
He eventually reached over her and gave over
another dollar, all the while she complained
that he shouldn't do it and that he's wasting
her money.
7 –Lycan_Jedi Gooby
Gooby had a customer call her store saying
the fruit juice they sold was bad.
Her friend took the call and asked for more
details.
He said he bought some juice for his Daughter’s
birthday party, that it tasted bitter and
that one kid had a sick stomach.
Turns out it wasn’t expired, or a faulty
product, or anything like that at all.
The guy had bought something called Fabuloso,
a type of floor cleaner.
Gooby’s friend told him to call poison control
right away.
The next thing Gooby’s friend heard was
the phone being put down and:
‘FUCK!
BABE!
GET THE JUICE AWAY FROM THE KIDS RIGHT THE
FUCK NOW!’
Then, the man picked up the phone and simply
said ‘I gotta go, bye.’
6 - xenolith84 Mimi
Mimi worked at a WalMart during the store’s
grand opening when a customer asked her to
help him find something he said he bought
there last week.
She told the customer that today was the store’s
first day of being open.
She thought he might have been confused as
there’s another WalMart in town.
She looked everywhere for the headphone adapter
he was looking for.
After about 10 minutes of looking for the
item, she told him that they didn’t carry
it.
Upon hearing this news he yelled and cussed
her out.
She asked to see the packaging of the item.
Mimi turned it over upon receiving it.
It said RadioShack on the bottom.
After hearing the embarrassing news, he took
the package, said sorry and left with his
tail between his legs.
5 - checkers04 Doopie
Doopie was at a store waiting to check out
some items when the lady in front of her started
screaming at the cashier to wash the conveyor
belt that you put the groceries on.
The lady proceeded to scream “I'll get sick
and literally die if I put my groceries on
that!”
“I mean, it’ll probably be fine,” replied
the cashier.
To this reply, the lady screamed and tried
to rip up the belt while kicking everything
in sight.
Not sure exactly what happened after the security
guards dragged her off.
4 - Toby1knobi04 Squid
Salty Squid was grocery shopping and when
he saw a customer shoving crisps, sweets and
chocolates into a bag.
He went to the cashier and told him that a
morbidly obese man was stealing all of the
sweets.
Squid must have been blunt or something because
the cashier couldn’t stop laughing at this
news for like 5 minutes.
By the time the cashier stopped laughing,
the thief was walking out the front door.
The cashier confronted the robber, but he
kept on denying the deed.
Eventually, Mr. Fat man admitted that he’d
stolen it all, but he was willing to share
the sweets with the two of them.
The cashier said "Fuck off" and Squid said
"naaaahhhhhhh”.
3 - tsundereequeen Dolan
Dolan had a girl come in to the EB Games he
worked at with a pre-order card.
She asked him to get a game from the back.
After looking through all of the games he
realised the game wasn’t even close to being
out.
Dolan went back and asked her if she was aware
of this fact and just stood there like he
was going to pull the game out of nowhere.
2 - EonGen Spincess
Spincess was at a dollar store when she saw
someone try to get money back for a bag of
Cheetos.
His reasoning was that the bag contained one
teensy burnt Cheeto that he had with with
him, the rest of them had been eaten.
The store clerk tried to explain to the man
that if he had any problems, he should call
the number on the back of the bag.
The man responded completely rationally and
yelled profanities at the store clerk.
It didn’t take long for the irate customer
to get so mad that he started calling the
clerk racial slurs.
At that point Spincess and her buddies, who
ironically were buying Cheetos themselves,
got angry and tried to fight for the store
clerk.
The man saw he was out numbered and stamped
out of the store, cussing at everyone he passed.
1 – Was submitted by Me.
One day while working at my job at a clothing
store a woman walked up to me and asked for
my help.
I asked her what was wrong and she presented
to me a green rag that was sealed in a plastic
wrapper.
She asked me: “How am I supposed to know
what color this is before I buy it?”
I didn’t know what she meant.
I looked at the green rag, looked back at
her, she gave it to me, I looked it over,
and then I said: “Uhh…
What do you mean?”
She then go very angry and repeated: “How
am I supposed to know what color this is!?”
I just looked down at the rag a final time
and said: “It’s green, ma’am?”
She then snatched the package out of my hand,
glared at me, said “thank you for your help”
in a snobby way, and stormed off.
I dunno – maybe she was totally color blind
or something, or maybe she was having a bad
day, but she told my manager that I was mean
to her, but I didn’t get in trouble, so
who cares.
A huge thanks to everybody who submitted their
stories, and just like before we have another
question for you all.
“What is the biggest risk you took that
ended badly?”
