50 Moments Where Retail Employees Had to Deal with Ridiculous Customers Who Needed to Be Slapped with Common Sense

Any savvy shopper knows that working in retail is probably one of the most difficult jobs out there, no matter how easy it may appear at first glance. Part of the reason it is so physically and frustratingly stressful is the numerous times you have to deal with customers who complain about trivial matters that you can't easily resolve, such as the price of a product. There is a guarantee that there will always be someone who thinks you are not doing your job properly.

Everyone has dealt with the occasional rude customer while on duty. However, for retail workers, this can account for up to three-quarters of your day.

Sometimes, well, most of the time, the maxim "The customer is always right" does not truly apply to all situations. It might be a relief to know that the actual quote is "The customer is always right in matters of taste." Only in matters of taste, but never in aspects of service, prices, and refunds.

This is something that your typical "Karen" customers have a hard time grasping because, in their eyes, they are always right in this world. However, there are also times when customers are just plain confused, and retail workers are often tempted to pull their hair out in frustration.

Well, point in case, here are certain moments that make you realize working in retail is indeed harder than it sounds!

Dealing with these kinds of customers can be exhilarating, but you can't deny that sometimes they become so ridiculous that it's just plain impossible to laugh at their lack of common sense. Maybe some are just having a bad day, but it's a totally different case when they always return with that attitude!
