* Telling a customer who had just put £80 of the wrong fuel in her car that the petrol station wouldn't eat the cost and that she had to pay for it as well as the fuel drain and the correct fuel.

I want to hear more!

I am so buying a quilt from you if I ever have the money. And I will pay full price.

--pointing down the aisle after a customer asked where a product was (he said it's rude to point, even though I wasn't pointing at any person, it was an empty aisle)

--saying "have a nice day" instead of "thank you" after payment.

--telling someone that I can't turn down the volume to the music because he's on a cellphone call

--stocking shelves during the day (customer believed I shouldn't do that during opening hours)

--using a headset to ask the backroom if we have a certain size of jeans in stock.

I'm about to be rude. Clocking in 10 minutes from now and I'm sure all kinds of people will want soda even though I'm not open yet. Why? Because the seniors are there having coffee. I don't blame others for expecting to be served, but when I have to turn them down I will be the rude one, even though management made this ridiculous decision.

-Telling someone that they are not to yell at me, and to leave my office until they have cooled down

-telling someone "no"

- refusing to give out client information to a family member and explaining that privacy laws prohibit me from doing so

-Telling a public defender if he continued to curse at me, I would disconnect the call and inform his supervisors

(I have to be ACTUALLY rude and nasty to get in trouble)

My BEST one - I was helping out at the front desk - which is Not My Job, I'm a surgery nurse here. Woman walks up to the front counter and demands a Dr to look at her cat. (It's not an emergency, she's just super rude and angry all the time)
Tell her that sorry, all Drs are in surgery or in with clients Who Kept THEIR Appointments (she didn't) and that she will have to reschedule.
Nope, not good enough. Bump a client Right Nao (said in front of other clients waiting their turns patiently, ON TIME...)
Be shocked that she said such a thing, clarify that she DID mean exactly that, and be firm and seriously annoyed at her request and fail to keep my tone of voice Happy To Help Her. Tell her I wouldn't bump her actual appointment for somebody else, and she CANNOT expect me to do that to people who DID keep their appointments.
Ooooh, stupid me, she DOES expect me to bump them, and she's dead serious about it. And getting louder.
Refuse to do it, staying as nice as I can (which isn't very, by this time)
Woman huffs away, goes home and complains to corporate that I was rude both in tone of voice, words, and refusal to accommodate her.
Corporate emails me to ask WTH happened?! I explain, get corroboration from co-workers, corporate goes away placated.
Woman never actually returns, as far as I know; I don't know if she transferred her pets to another hospital, or she got moved for work, or why we don't see her angry self anymore but WINWINWINWIN for us! Other customers witnessing this mess praised me for maintaining reasonably well, and for not bowing down to her demands. But, wow! That woman is epic!

[Mr Hero]

Can I get free service for the rest of my life?
Say yes say yes 'cause I need to know
You say you'll never meet my demands until the day I die
Tough luck my friend, but the answer is no

-- For telling a customer "we don't carry that anymore" when asked if we carry [product not carriedlegal for sale in years].

Fixed that for you. I'm sure someone here has had a customer asking for lawn darts or some other item that's now illegal to sell due to idiots trying to win Darwin Awards with it.

[HotelMinion]

I got called rude:

-When I sighed because the computer was frozen.

-When I said "I can't help you" to a customer who was lost and her phone was about to die.

-When I give freebies. (wth?)

-When I said "I can't help you" to a customer that arrived at 7 AM and his room for last night was sold. (worst sc ever btw)

-When I follow the rules and do my job

[Slave to the Phone]

Asking to actually get paid instead of just giving custom quilts away.

I get that one a lot.

So you won't make me a custom quilt to auction for less than it cost you in materials to help my good cause?

You are heartless and very rude.

Ducks and runs.

-- For telling a customer "I'll be right with you" when I'm in the middle of helping another customer with two more that's waiting in front of them. Um, no, sorry, please get in line.

[Agent Paperclip]

I was being rude because I had bad breath and was chewing gum while checking out a customer. What really happened: I had a sore throat and had a Halls cough drop in my mouth. Apparently they make your breath stink :P
