    Bill Amend does the sucky customer.

    Peter deserves to have to take a job in customer service and receive the sort of treatment that he dished out.

    Check out the comments. Most of the posters realize those petty "customer is always right" games are bullshit, but one guy blamed the employees as well.

    Stores should dump the “customer is always right” policy. When a cashier is trying to negotiate with this sort of obnoxious customer, a line of a dozen customers who just want to pay and leave is forming behind, who want to strangle the obnoxious customer and do WORSE things to the idiotic cashier who is actually putting up with him. Long story short, it does NOT make the store itself look good to put up with these louts
    Believe me, pal, if we could tell those louts to take a hike, we would!

      Peter will sure get that treatment when Star Wars VII comes out in theaters, being as he's such a faithful movie employee.

          What's scary is the "art imitates life" part of this one x.x Back at DaddyJim's, we would sometimes get custy's calling us up and yelling because their half-works/half cheese pizza had ONE sliced olive that had ended up on the crust on the cheese side. With repeat offenders, we ended up starting to make the "heavier toppings" side of their pies smaller than usual, just to make absolutely certain that no rogue bits of easily-removable veggie ended up "ruining the entire pizza" (which they of course ate anyway); this resulted in a small cheese-only no-man's land in between the two halves x.x

          PS, for the sake of your pizza dudes' sanity, please, PLEASE don't ever order a pie with "half no sauce" -- it's almost impossible to get it right without having it end up more like "1/3 with sauce, 2/3 without", as people who made this request were always the type who would object to a single droplet of sauce on the no-sauce side. Just order a couple smaller pizzas instead (heck, at my old company, this made the second one something like half off anyway)

            I only sporadically follow the strip; I didn't know about the movie theater job. But that makes things even worse: he knows what it's like to deal with a sucky customer, then turns around and is one to someone else!

              He's a teenager. We hope he grows up and captures some clues.

                    I couldn't believe the one who bad-mouthed Walmart for not having snow shovels in March. He apparently thinks they should hold some in the back just in case there's a unseasonably late snowstorm.

                      Well where I live, a snowstorm in March isn't unseasonable, it's expected.

                        I prefer grain shovels for snow anyway, and they're available all year. Much sturdier.
