Restaurant workers and retailers share the best and most pleasant revenge they have had on rude customers, from dusting to changing their espresso for decaffeination.
TikTok user Darron Cardosa asked the question this weekend, asking other users, “What did you do to a customer after they were rude to you?”
Dozens responded, revealing the petty and ridiculous ways in which they bothered minor customers who could have been more police officers.
Distribute time! TikTok user Darron Cardosa asked other users, “What did you do to a customer after they were rude to you?”
While some stories reveal crimes that can be set on fire, others could never be reasonably blamed on the employee.
Darron, for example, has never done anything technically wrong – he has gone a little out of his way to make his customer experience a little more enjoyable than it could have been.
“As a server, sometimes when rude customers ask for butter, I give them cold butter, even if I have butter at room temperature, because I know that cold butter will break their bread,” he revealed.
Meanwhile, Ebony Mallinson confessed: “I mix them in the form of smoothies, so that the pieces block their straw.”
McKenzie Morrison had an equally petty tactic that customers may not have even noticed – but at least it made McKenzie feel better.
“As a delicatessen, when a customer is Karen, I’ll gather the cheese together after I slice it, so it’s impossible to separate it later,” she said.
You feel better? People respond with stories of petty revenge, which are largely harmless
Responsibility: Another woman reported a police officer who refused to wear a mask in her store
“I work at a grocery store,” said a woman named Rachael Hendrick in her video. “When rude customers don’t wear a mask, I’ll spray fart spray in the hallway.”
Meanwhile, user @bree_ann_uhh said that she and her server colleagues opted for the real thing.
“Shout to all the servers,” she wrote. “For rude customers, we collect dust – especially if it’s busy and loud and the music works and they certainly won’t hear you. We collect dust.
Canadian flight attendant Helena Handbasket said, “For rude customers, I reserve their seat on a 10-hour flight by the bathroom.”
A TikToker named Sammie not only took revenge for his rudeness, but held a police officer accountable.
“A policeman entered my store without a mask in his uniform,” she said. “I said, ‘Sir, the next time you come in, I need you to put on a mask. “He looked me in the eye and said, ‘I have a medical condition. What are you going to do about it? ”
“I looked at his badge and then I called the police later and told them. Since then, every time he enters, he wears a mask. Every time.’
“For rude customers, we collect dust – especially if it’s busy and loud and the music works and they certainly won’t hear you. We collect dust “, said a user
Some of the behaviors, however, would probably have put employees in a bit of trouble if their bosses had found out about them.
Stephanie Crnkovich said that when she worked as a barista, she would offer rude customers a decaffeinated espresso instead of the usual one.
Geza Daniel Molnar said that while working at a hotel, he met guests who arrived late, who did not kick him when he helped with their luggage.
“So I called them at midnight,” he said.
User Chelsea Dickinson poured out his diabolical trick, revealing: “I used to charge them double, so they had to wait in the customer service line to receive a refund.”
And user @ heather.blr did something similar at the grocery store where he worked,
“There were a lot of rude customers – I made people throw food at me and laugh at it,” she said.
Deserved! Perhaps one of the best revenge stories came from Javier Sanchez, who in the late 1990s worked for a cable company and ran a racist client on the phone.
“I had to call everything by hand. Basically, if he was rude to me, if he was 99 cents, I’d call him $ 2.99. The receipts were so long that they didn’t check. I ended up charging them another $ 30-40 for just how rude they were.
Perhaps one of the best revenge stories came from Javier Sanchez, who in the late 1990s worked for a cable company and dealt with a racist client on the phone.
“It was a fight with Oscar De La Hoya that night,” he said. “A customer called saying that he ordered all this food and that he had all these people watching the pay-per-view fight, but it didn’t work.
– So I finally solve them for them. I hear the whole party rejoicing. The man on the phone says, “Thank you! What’s your name?” and I called him “Javier.” He says, “Thank you,” and then calls me a racial insult and shuts down.
“So, I stop the fight on his TV and leave notes for the other employees, so as not to restart it. The next day, I see that he called all night to resume the fight and no one started it for him. I win.’
