As the title says, what's the single stupidest reason a customer has found to try and put you down while you were working? Because I think I just had mine earlier tonight...
I do some part time work at a pharmacy where I help people make sense of our photo printing system. We had a woman come in tonight trying to use the scanner to make copies of some old picture she had. She couldn't figure it out, so I ended up just doing the whole thing for her. But one of the first pictures I put it scanned upside down. She made a point of it to say I did it wrong, but I tried to explain to her that it comes out right when it prints... cut to me handing her the photos after they printed and her screaming at me that it printed out upside down and that she's not paying for it. I tried to explain to her as calmly as I could that she was holding the picture upside down and at which point she stopped talking for about thirty seconds, then started yelling "Are you calling me stupid?" over and over, loud enough for the entire store to hear. I ended up walking away and letting a manager finish the transaction because I was either going to start laughing or start yelling back and I genuinely wasn't sure which it would be.
I'm still reeling from the shear idiocy of it, so if you could just make this interaction seem a little less bizarre by regaling me with your own dumbest customer stories, I'd appreciate it...
