Sadly, this sounds like a case of dementia.
Dumbass Customers: We're a Grocery Store, Not a Post Office
From The_73MPL4R, Tales From Retail: The grocery store that I work at runs a promotion around once a year for a few months where every $10 that you spend you get a little sticker (which we refer to as "stamps"). If you collect enough of these stamps, you can redeem them for various kitchenw...
Sorry, but I completely disagree. Bars are for adults who want booze and who want to consume it in an adult environment. As long as the laws forbid minors to drink in public places, KIDS DO NOT BELONG IN BARS, not even to buy candy and soft drinks in the company of an adult chaperone.
Puppies on her purse? Hand me a barf bag,

Server Hell: The Entitled Man, And The Children Who Aren't Really People
From LittleSquirrel42, TalesFromYourServer My work has a cafe, bar and various spaces that can be hired out. So we do parties, gigs, plays, meetings, all sorts of things. We get to meet a very wide variety of customers. Every day is slightly different. I love it, but every now and again, we h...

Nasty Ass Thieves: Can we at least get smarter thieves?
From Nivarak, Tales From Retail: Before getting into the tale, a bit of context. I work in Techsupport, helping to keep currently 16 retail locations running. Each of these include a vehicle-servicing area, and an attached customer waiting area. Due to the context of this tale, I think it f...

@Jofur, yes, because the peeps might steal a pizza from the delivery driver and possibly endanger him or her.
Nasty Ass Thieves: We Know Who You Are, Stupid
From bend1310, AskReddit We had a guy and two girls order separately, then grab the pizzas and run. The girls had picked the food up and left, while the guy was paying. After 30 seconds the guy bolted. It was a $100 order. My manager, who is a frequent gym goer, leapt the counter and gave ch...
Hopefully, they aren't hiring couch potatoes!
Fun-To-Mental: Guess they need someone to keep an 'eye' on customers
From TuckRaker
Did some dude traveling with a dog bring the dog into the men's restroom and allow the dog to use the urinal as a water bowl? I am well aware that dogs love to drink out of toilets, but a urinal cake could make a dog very sick.
Bathroom Signage: Non-Drinkable Water
From Hamfields: I flew to Orly Airport in France and went to the Gents. As I was stood there I wondered what hideous event lay beneath someone's need to tell me I shouldn't drink the water in the urinal.
It also looks as though this building now houses a real estate inspection firm.
Unforgettable Business Names: I'm sorry you said the name of your business was what?
From Tornadomop
In some stricken locations, residents are not permitted to return to the area until it has been declared safe by the local government.

Closing Time Nightmares: I Don't Care About A Power Outage, I have To Have This Game!
From Guarkin, TalesFromRetail I work at a game store that is in a mall. One day the power went out in the entire mall. All we had were the backup lights. My co-worker and I apologized to customers and offered to hold their items and even told them they could get a small discount for the incon...
In our auto parts store in SC, we keep getting requests for large gas and diesel cans. Those sold out right away. Irma is projected to be no more than a Cat 1 if and when it hits the SC midlands, with plenty of time for vulnerable people to evac.
Family Dollar Store Signage Explains Why They Closed Ahead of Hurricane Irma
From 000g: Seen on a Family Dollar in Jacksonville Florida ahead of Hurricane Irma.
"Sorry, sir, you have the wrong number. Goodbye. (click)"
Doofus must have thought that every store in a town called Carpentersville must have power tools.
Crazy Customers: Just Connect Me To The Correct Store
From Donna I have worked for a store where the phone customer was more important than the live customer in the store, which I never understood because we never made money on phone customers. I had to say “Thank you for calling your Walgreens store in Carpentersville, Illinois where we help y...
A dozen guys for that size store? Why didn't they hire seasonal help for logistics? Not having product on shelves had to be costing them sales.
Retail Hell Memories: Sure, I can check the back, right this way
From ba12348, Tales From Retail: I've been seeing a lot of "back room" stories on here recently, so I thought I'd tell one of my own. I worked at a large hardware store, and most of you know that these stores keep their overstock... over the stock. We labeled everything that went up there, a...
Whenever I hear a hard luck or sob story, I immediately suspect a scam. Honest people don't tell me their life history when returning a car part!
Scams and Scammers: The Dead Baby Scam
From boysnbury, TalesFromRetail This is a tale from the photo developing store where I worked over 10 years ago. This customer came in wanting to return about four or five frames, except he had no receipt, and the frames weren't in a bag, either. His explanation for this was that the frames ...
This makes me doubly thankful that I work in auto parts!

This was taken last month on July 3rd, from redditor HyperMasenko who writes, "It's easy to forget it's July when you work retail!"
I consider pineapple on pizza to be an abomination unto the Lord. But then, I am part Italian and an avid home cook.

Muslim Family Says McDonald's Worker Hid Bacon in 14 Chicken Sandwiches They Ordered

If you are so rich, you can certainly afford to pay the same price that everyone else pays.
Pretzel Hell: "I'm rich and Important, I deserve a discount!"
