10 Internet People Share Their Dumbest Customer Service Questions

Customer service can be a thankless job. You get an ugly uniform, an even uglier paycheck, and you have to deal with an endless stream of idiotic customers. Sometimes, the only saving grace is the ridiculous story you get to tell after each crazy encounter! Here are 10 reddit users’ tales of the service industry at its finest — when the customer is totally clueless.

1. A Tale of Two Sauces

I went to dinner once at a Chinese restaurant in Missouri and a woman at the table next to ours yelled at the waiter, “Where is the other sauce? We are supposed to get Sweet and Sour Sauce and we only got one sauce!”— reddit / DeniseDeNephew

2. A Bright Idea

I fly private jets. Once we were flying east early in the morning so the sun was directly in our eyes. A passenger was sitting directly behind us on the jump seat. He leaned forward and asked “is there anyway we can just climb and get above the sun?” No.— reddit / StrykerATL

3. ¡Eye, Caramba!

Once, while working at an eye doctors office, a woman was upset because we were charging her to make new lenses with an updated prescription and asked “why do you have to make new lenses, just inject some more medicine in the ones I already got?”— reddit / Danwhodonit

4. Almost an Un-BEAR-able Mishap

I worked at REI a few years back (large outdoor sporting goods co-op, just in case you haven’t heard of it), and we sold bear spray (pepper spray for bears). A woman came in with her two kids one day and bought a canister because they were going camping. She gets to the front door, then comes back to the register as an afterthought, and asks if she’s supposed to just spray her kids from head to toe with it.— reddit / jra312
