45 Times Dumb Customers Really Pushed Retail Workers To The Limit With Their Questions

No, no, no—The customer is not always right! Ideally, everyone walking into any shop would be patient, polite, and well-versed in common sense. Unfortunately, those qualities are in short supply these days. This means that the staff has to smile, stay professional, and avoid facepalming, even when dealing with completely delulu shoppers.

The retail workers of the r/AskReddit online community recently opened up about the “dumbest things” that they’ve ever had to explain to their customers, and this is a whole other level of cluelessness. We’ve collected some of the most interesting stories to share with you. Scroll down to have a read, and don’t forget to upvote the posts that blew you away the most.

We got in touch with the person who sparked the interesting discussion, u/Fragmented-Rooster, and they were kind enough to share some thoughts about surviving in the retail world. They told us that it's vital to remember that "no job is ruining your mental health over." You'll find Bored Panda's interview with them below.
