These customers believe they can take advantage of restaurants.
"The customer is always right." This phrase serves as the guiding motto for service staff to maintain good customer service.
However, this isn't always the case, particularly for entitled customers who go too far with the kind of service they demand. Many of them are simply taking advantage of the situation because they know they will get their way.
Retailers invest significant effort in enhancing the customer experience. They aim to meet the needs of buyers and even exceed their expectations to keep them satisfied.
They have also established policies to prevent customers from exploiting the situation. However, dealing with these issues can be tricky, especially now that customers have easy access to reviews.
In addition to appeasing entitled customers, businesses also need to manage their online reputation. In fact, we've seen clever and humorous clapbacks from business owners against these entitled customers.
On Reddit, there's a place where users can share the absurdity of entitled individuals. The subreddit is called "Beggars Can't Be Choosers!"

Are you now shaking your head after reading how absurd people can be?
According to Zendesk, American consumer culture is centered on making customers feel special. After being treated this way consistently, they eventually expect the same from other establishments.
They feel upset the moment things don't go their way. Then, the customer comes to believe that they have the right to treat others however they want until they are appeased.
After getting what they want, they relax, but only until the next time they are disappointed. This becomes a vicious and ceaseless cycle.
