Real Workers Share Stories Of Truly Ridiculous Customer Complaints

11. Can I Take Your Order?

“I worked in a sandwich shop where we sold combos (sandwich, chips, and a drink) for about $6 a combo. One time this lady came and ordered a number one which was like pastrami, white bread, three cheese, lettuce, and tomato. Then she asked for some changes to the sandwich (no problem), but by the end, she not only replaced every item that goes on the number one, but she managed to make her order match our number seven down to the condiments,” revealed Reddit user WYUYBDAAHNFIAGT. “I point it out to her, and she said she didn’t want a number seven; we wanted the altered number one even though they were the same thing.” 

“At the end, with all the things she added to her order, her order came out to about $15 where it could have been $6.” Sometimes, you just have to let the customer tell you what they want and let them pay for it. If they don’t want to listen to how you can make it cheaper for them, well, that’s on them. Patience is an important skill along with listening. It was nice of this Reddit User to try and tell the customer either way.
