Working in food service can be incredibly challenging. People who work in hospitality deal with all kinds of people, from frustrated or demanding customers to taking strange orders.

So, this job really requires patience and resilience. Anyone who has ever worked in retail has a story that explains how people can be so weird.

And the famous saying, "The customer is always right," just makes it harder because they need to politely explain to customers who won't listen that they're in the wrong. In such situations, this phrase is useless, but customer likes to use it as an excuse for their behavior or weird demands.

In reality, the customer is not always right. Some customers, like anyone else, have bad days and may unintentionally take it out on the person serving them.

Others set impossible expectations, sometimes purely out of a sense of entitlement. And, occasionally, there are just people who don't know what they like to eat or drink.

Working in customer service, employees encounter all types of people daily, and not all are pleasant. To illustrate how exhausting this can be, we have collected stories from service workers dealing with such customers.
