People shared tales of the most outrageous customer demands and you don’t have to have worked in retail to appreciate it (but it’ll help)

If you’ve ever worked in a shop then you’ll know some of the ridiculous and outrageous demands that customers can occasionally make of you.

And people have been sharing some of the absolute worst on Twitter after @isabelzawtun asked this.

What’s the most ridiculous demand a customer has made of you? I’ll go first: when I was working retail, a woman once demanded I pick her up from her Botox appointment with my car & bring her to the mall to shop

I should add, she framed this like a GREAT opportunity for me bc she would shop with me and I would make great sales and was baffled when I said no (because I… no longer worked there)

‘Working at a children’s toy store a mom came in to return a yo-yo claiming it was “Broken” I examined the toy, found nothing wrong, then played with the yo-yo in front of her. I was just like “I dunno, it’s working now”.

‘She did not have a receipt.’
