This is a series of things, just real shorts, I had happen to me recently. I decided to compile them all and post them at once, as opposed to scattering through several threads.
Overheard at the buffet:
Customer: (Angry) This soup is tasteless and watered down. I want a refund!
Waiter: Sure sir, if you would please point me to the soup so I can pull it first.
Customer: That soup there. In the bowl.
Waiter: Uh sir, that's dishwater.
At the same buffet, a few days later.
Customer: This stupid soft serve thing is broken. (Pulls HARD on the lever, something snaps and it pours a full gallon of soft serve ice cream out on the floor covering the customer's shoes.)
Customer: (Yelling) I want the manager. This thing broke and it ruined my shoes!
At Wal-Mart
Self Checkout: (Says someting in spanish, prompting a customer to stab at the screen again and again.)
Customer: Damn machine. I don't speak spanish. I needs me some help here! YOU, come help me.
Clerk/Cashier: (Stops helping other customer, punches 1 button to change it to english again, then returns to what they were doing.)
Customer: (Stabs the screen again, turning it spanish yet again.) I want to talk to a manager, She didn't help me. I want her fired.
Me: (Loud enough to carry) "Sir, if you kept your fingers to yourself, it wouldn't do that. Besides, you're on candid security camera.
At a Video Game store:
Customer's kid: I want a PS3! Get me a PS3. (whine whine, fanboy fanboy)
Clerk: I'm sorry ma'am. We don't have PS3's. We won't for about three weeks.
Customer: (Points at a PS2.) There's one there. I want that one.
Clerk: Ma'am, that's not a PS3...
Customer: It says sony on it. It has to play the games. I want that one.
Clerk: (stares at the woman, but gets the PS2 for her. She buys it and leaves)
Thirty minutes pass
Customer returns, PS2 in hand and PS3 game as well. She is very angry.
Customer: YOU SOLD ME A DEFECTIVE MACHINE!
Clerk: (backs up) Uh ma'am...I..you.
Smart Customer: No ma'am. He told you it's a PS2. You just weren't smart enough to listen.
