17 Employees Shared the Craziest Claims They’ve Heard From Customers

Curiosities
year ago

Customer service is hard. You need to know how to properly answer each client’s questions, provide them with the best possible assistance, and handle complaints when they aren’t satisfied with your product or service. But what happens when these claims are so peculiar that they even make us doubt if they’re serious or not? A Twitter user who works in a museum shared an unusual experience that she had at her job when a woman went in expecting to see a live saber-toothed cat (and Jurassic Park is likely to blame).

This post immediately triggered a thread of replies in which other users shared their own experiences, and Bright Side collected the most amusing ones.

2. They don’t make eclipses like they used to.

3. Where are the Vikings?

16. Do animals work if it rains?

Ahaha it takes real courage to work somewhere with customers.... Customer's service is the WORST. I managed to stay just for 4 months last summer and at the end of that period, I was ready for therapy :p

I used to work as a shop assistant and trust me... I AM NEVER GOING BACK. My employer was great, but the customers... Dear God! I'm going red even thinking about it.

Yes, ok. But sometimes employees can also be super rude to customers which is really bad and annoying. It has happened to me lots of times when shopping.

I'm not sure if some of these people were serious or just trolling
