What A Tangled Web We Weave
Coffee Shop | New York, , USA
(A customer had already ordered, picked up, and drank most of his drink. He then walked up to the counter and was very angry.)
Me: “How can I help you?”
Customer: “What the f*** is this?!” *points to his cup*
Me: “It looks like the drink I made you, and you seem to have already enjoyed it.”
Customer: “No smart-a**…this!” *pours the drink onto the counter and a key bounces out* “What the f*** is going on here?!”
Me: *alarmed* “I am SO sorry sir! When I made the drink, I know there wasn’t a key in it. Let me make you a new one.”
Customer: “Yeah! You f***in’ better make me a new f***in’ drink. This
is complete bulls***! You’re lucky I don’t sue you and this coffee company!”
(I take the key and make him a new drink, and he goes and sits outside
with his friends. The key wasn’t mine, so I started asking coworkers
and customers. No one was claiming it. The customer walked up about 5
minutes later, bright red and embarrassed.)
Customer: “Yeah, uh…I’m going to need my car key back so I can go home….”

Let He Who Is Strongest Make My Latte
Coffee Shop | Raleigh, NC, USA
(A perky old lady walks up and orders a drink. A staff member makes the drink, and I hand it to her.)
Customer: *disdainfully* “What is THIS?”
Me: “Umm… a drink?”
Customer: “‘A drink’? Don’t get smart with me! *pointing towards a
staff member* “That greasy teen filled my order! I demand somebody else
fill it! One who’s NOT greasy!”
(I was dumb-founded, but decided to line up all the employees in front of her for review - it was a slow day.)
Me: “Which of these do you find acceptable?”
Customer: *looks for a few minutes* “NONE! Maybe if you didn’t have so
much fast food, you wouldn’t be so greasy!” *continues to “browse”
through the line-up*
Coworker: *speaking up* “Hey lady, hurry up - you ain’t picking no gladiators!”

Make That A Triple Non-Fat Sexy Latte
Coffee Shop | Vancouver, BC, Canada
(A woman walks into the coffee shop and orders a latte with “sexy” foam. I make what I thought was a latte with really “sexy” foam.)
Customer: “F***! This isn’t right. I want it with really sexy foam.”
Me: “Okay…”
(I make her another, with lots of really thick foam.)
Customer: “No, no! Sexy foam, really sexy foam!”
Me: “Okay, so less?”
Customer: “No, you know… sexy! Sexy foam!”
(I make her a third drink. This time less foam and more milk.)
Customer: “You don’t get it! I want sexy foam. Really sexy foam!”
Me: *giving up* “I DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT!”

Me: “Here’s your coffee. That’ll be $2.75.”
Little old lady: *gives me a $20* “Keep the change, dear.”
Me: “That’s very generous, thank you!”
Little old lady: “After work, go buy yourself some makeup. Just because you work at a coffee shop doesn’t mean you have to look like a slob!”

Coffee Shop | El Paso, TX, USA
Me: Good morning, what can I get for you?
Customer: “Did you go to church today?”
Me: “No.”
Customer: “Why not?! It’s Sunday and you should be giving thanks to the
Lord! I don’t like this… let me speak to your manager NOW.”
Me: “Ma’am, this isn’t a Christian establishment where we are required to go to church.”
Customer: “Get your manager!”
Manager: “Yes, ma’am?”
Customer: “Why don’t your employees go to church on Sunday?! This is an outrage.”
Manager: “Well, if we did there would be no one here to make your delicious coffee when you get out of church.”
Customer: “Well, I guess that’s okay. I’ll let Jesus know that you guys are helping me so that you don’t go to Hell.”

Customer: “Well hello dearie, what kind of mild coffee do you have today?”
Me: “Our light roast today is our Guatemala.”
Customer: “Oh no. I don’t want coffee made by [racial epithet].”
Me: “Um… well, our dark roast is our Ethiopian.
Customer: “I don’t want [another racial epithet] coffee either! Can’t you get me some American coffee?
Me: “I’m sorry ma’am, coffee beans don’t grow anywhere in America except Hawaii. And we don’t carry any kona.”
Customer: “Damn [yet another racial epithet]! Don’t want any of their
coffee either. I just want some good old American coffee. That’s what I
got last time.”
Me: “I’m sorry. Like I said, we don’t carry any coffee grown in America. Coffee doesn’t grow in the continental United States.”
Customer: “God d*** commies!” *storms off*

but we were completely out and were forced to use the dome ones
instead.)

Me: “I’m sorry, but we’re completely out of flat lids today.”
Customer: “But I want my round lid!”
Me: “I promise you, it will taste exactly the same.”
Customer: “Ooohhh…”
Behind Every Policy Is A Stupid Customer
Coffee Shop | Rockville, MD, USA
Customer: “I don’t want a lid.”
Me: “I’m sorry, sir, but it’s company policy. I have to serve your hot beverage with a lid on.”
