    Well, this is kind of a silly story. But, when I was 24 I was purchasing groceries and the cashier was horrified and then asked me how I got a bank card. It turns out he thought I was 12 or 13. So, the guy bagging the groceries stood up for me by saying that he could clearly see I was at least 16. :blushing:

    Just last week I was at Meijer and this man was in line infront of me. He was screaming at the cashier for not taking his $1 expired coupon. Nearly had her in tears. She was new, holiday help and just kept repeating sorry it's expired I can't. I basically told that *kitten* I would give him a dollar to apologize to her, and get the **** out of the store. He just stood there staring at me, then left in a huff. I saw him at the customer service counter ( likely complaining about her ) so I made sure to leave a compliment about her.

    I had the owner of a yarn shop tell me she would never knit a sweater.

    On the flip side:

    When I was a very young woman (~19) I worked for Wendy's...one day a guy came thru the drive-thru ordering "a fur burger with a side of thighs" I complained to my manager, he said I had to serve the guy...I told the guy "you're lucky, if it were up to me you'd not get a thing from us for being rude." he got P.O.'d and left in a squeal of tires...

    But, the worse customers, hands down anywhere, were those whom I dealt with when working as an HSI support tech for DSL...nothing quite like being screamed at by people over the phone for 8 hours a day or more...I said a lot of things that never got heard by any living being but my cats, and they don't care. :tongue:

    Not exactly a crazy cashier, but pretty bizarre.

    About fifteen years ago I was in a pizzeria in Spain that I'd been to once or twice and not had any problems with, although I didn't know it very well. Looked at the menu, ordered a garlic pizza. I was raised in the Mediterranean, I love garlic.

    Pizza arrived at the table. Took a bite and gagged. Took a bite from the other side in case I just got a bad mouthful. Couldn't swallow it. Asked my mom to try in case my taste buds were acting up (I've had an anorexia-type ED most of my life; during bad phases food tastes weird to me). She spat it out.

    Peeled up the cheese on the pizza to find the entire thing covered with raw garlic. Because it was underneath the cheese, it hadn't cooked. Called the waitress back over to say that I couldn't eat it. She called the chef over. They were both like, "Why did you order garlic pizza if you don't like garlic?" Thing is, this was a thin-crust, single-serving pizza - I'd guess 8 inches - and it had probably one garlic on it, sliced into skinny pieces. Not one clove. One entire garlic. Each wedge had about a clove's worth.

    Showed the garlic under the cheese to the chef. He looked bewildered. "I wonder how that happened?" he said. Manager came over, I asked him if he wanted to taste the pizza. He did, and immediately grabbed my glass of Coke. :D And then took the pizza away, brought me a margherita for free, and another drink. And ice cream. Mom's pasta was the only thing we had to pay for that day. :)

    All in all, good service, but the event was just so odd.
