Interview With Author

ADVERTIsem*nT

Working in retail, restaurants, hospitality, and the like is always… definitely… something.

Besides the long work hours, the tedious duties, and the very often inadequate pay, there’s all these clients to deal with, and not all of them are pleasant and civilized. That’s not say they’re the polar opposite, necessarily, but they are surely far far away from what makes a 5-star client because of their aggression or awkwardness or just flat-out bizarreness.

Whatever the case may be, there are loads of stories of less-than-favorable clients from people working in these industries, and one former Starbucks barista has sparked a bit of a story-fest with his tweet recalling a customer interaction that still haunts him to this day.

Writer, reviewer, and host of the @LowStakesShow, Terence Wiggins, also known as The Black Nerd, went to Twitter to share an interaction with a customer he won’t forget anytime soon because of how haunting it was.

Back when he was working at Starbucks, one day he was cleaning the restrooms and knocked on the women’s restroom door to check if anyone was inside. Lo and behold, there was, but instead of casually saying it’s occupied or something among those lines, he got a very angry “WHO IS IT?”

He also asked folks who worked similar jobs to share their haunting conversations with clients. And boy, did Twitter deliver!

“I usually check my Facebook Memories first thing in the morning and I'm constantly reminded of the years I spent working at Starbucks,” Terence explained the origins of his tweet in an interview with Bored Panda. “I don't remember which memory made me ask the question but I'm sure it was something bad.”

Needless to say, when the tweet started racking up likes left and right, Terence was very surprised when the counter nearly reached 10,000 for both quoted tweets and likes. While he does have a modest follower base, the tweet went beyond the usual metric.

“It just exploded and I started seeing replies and quote-tweets from celebrities,” elaborated Terence.

Stories from workers in retail, restaurants, and the like often circle around customers from hell as most of these places are very accessible to anyone and so the chances of running into a difficult clientele are high. But that’s not the only reason, as explained Terence:

ADVERTIsem*nT

“I think there's a certain type of person who views customer service workers as less-than or someone that they can boss around without any consequences. It's really not most customers, 90% of customers are fine but there's a 10% that have a brain that's a jar full of angry bees and they have to let it out on someone who can't do anything about it.”

As mentioned previously, Terence’s tweet inspired quite a lot of people to share their experiences.

These included everything from exposing mistresses to customers discussing wounds to elderly people shouting gun violence hypotheticals.

And then there was this 6-tweet story by a guy who used to work at a Taco Bell and had a client who was described as a satanic cowboy who took half his order before storming off, then returning after about 20 minutes, getting upset about his other half of the order, which he wrongly remembered, and then chanting in Spanish, while his bodyguard counter-chanted something as well. That one also received over 8,000 likes.

Now, in some cases these difficult customers might just have interesting personality quirks or could just be tired, but in other cases they could also be inherently angry, sad or straight up weird if they act that way in public. So, we asked Terence what his take on this was, and he had this to say:

“I think it could be both. There's harmless people who have weird personality quirks or are tired or some such thing and they will definitely say something weird that'll stick with you. On the other hand, there are people who have some inherent anger or sadness that they've decided to take out on other people and that other person is usually an employee getting paid minimum wage and can't possibly fight back.”

OK, PSA time.

“Employees are people. They have about as much power in the situation as you do and unless the employee is being an a-hole for no reason, just cool your jets about small things. Your food or drink will eventually get made, you'll eventually get that product you want, there's no such thing as the mythical ‘back room’ where we're just hiding products from customers,” said Terence.

If anything, be kind to your waiters, store clerks and everyone else who makes your life easier.

You can check out everything we talked about in context here, and you can also take a look at Terence’s socials like his Twitter account and his Low Stakes Show podcast as well as his Ko-Fi shop.

I was in the hospital after appendix surgery, there was another woman in the same room, she was nice enough, but Sunday came around and a whole gaggle of Church ladies came to see her. I was trying (pretending) to sleep until one of them came over to me and laid hands on my head while praying. I'm non-religious, and don't have anything against people who are, but keep your bleeping hands off me. I felt so violated. That was over 25 years ago and I still get pissed when I think about it.

I worked at a car dealership as the night receptionist during college. One night, this lady calls me furiously shouting about how one of my cars is parked in her private parking spot and I need to come get it immediately. Assuming it was one of our loaners I asked for the license plate. She said it didn't have one and so I asked her how she knew it was our car. she replied because the licence plate bracket around the TEMPORARY REGISTRATION TAG had our dealership logo and number on it. After attempting to explain to her 5 times that someone only purchased the car from our dealership and it is their car NOT ours and I can't do anything to come get the car from her parking spot, she let loose the longest string of insults and curses I've ever heard. In the middle of her insult rant, my manager says to me over the phone in the calmest voice, "you can hang up the phone now". No idea that he was listening in on the call, but I'm glad someone else witnessed her ridiculousness.

I worked part-time at Petco for two years while going to school full time for my B.S. degree in Anthrozoology.On one of my days off, I decided to head up to Petco while bringing my 4yo American Raven for the ride with me. (Legal here in Florida w/proper permit). So I walked into Petco with my Raven perched upon my left shoulder.As I was talking with some coworkers & introducing my bird to them, this older lady approached me with a look on her face that could freeze the balls off a stone monkey.This lady started to get angry & accuse me of practicing the dark and how crows are "Servants of Satan", and how dare I put peoples souls in danger by bringing it to my place of employment.She called the police telling them I was threatening her & others with an exotic "Rabid" bird. (Rabies is a mammal exclusive disease btw folks). I finally had enough and jokingly told the officer I'm pressing charges on her for sheer stupidity, contagious ignorance, and for feeling my IQ drop around her

Off topic, If you had a docile Raven on your shoulder in front of me, I'd just been in awe and stare.... gorgeous creatures. I'd have so many questions....

I worked retail for 26 yrs. All of the above and then some. I've caught couples, that's right, plural, having sex in the store. I've been (saved) a few times. My last time I told the lady I was a pagen. She looked pole axed. I've found weed 3 times. I've had crazy pregnant chicks, wanted waited on hand and foot, because they were carrying a fetus. Felt bad for the dudes, they looked miserable. Had people tell me they don't believe in global warming, something the government made up to control us. Y'all get the drift. I could tell 1000s of stories.

I worked at a car dealership as the night receptionist during college. One night, this lady calls me furiously shouting about how one of my cars is parked in her private parking spot and I need to come get it immediately. Assuming it was one of our loaners I asked for the license plate. She said it didn't have one and so I asked her how she knew it was our car. she replied because the licence plate bracket around the TEMPORARY REGISTRATION TAG had our dealership logo and number on it. After attempting to explain to her 5 times that someone only purchased the car from our dealership and it is their car NOT ours and I can't do anything to come get the car from her parking spot, she let loose the longest string of insults and curses I've ever heard. In the middle of her insult rant, my manager says to me over the phone in the calmest voice, "you can hang up the phone now". No idea that he was listening in on the call, but I'm glad someone else witnessed her ridiculousness.

How rude! I wonder what kind of private spot she meant though…it was at night so I would assume apartment.

I worked part-time at Petco for two years while going to school full time for my B.S. degree in Anthrozoology.On one of my days off, I decided to head up to Petco while bringing my 4yo American Raven for the ride with me. (Legal here in Florida w/proper permit). So I walked into Petco with my Raven perched upon my left shoulder.As I was talking with some coworkers & introducing my bird to them, this older lady approached me with a look on her face that could freeze the balls off a stone monkey.This lady started to get angry & accuse me of practicing the dark and how crows are "Servants of Satan", and how dare I put peoples souls in danger by bringing it to my place of employment.She called the police telling them I was threatening her & others with an exotic "Rabid" bird. (Rabies is a mammal exclusive disease btw folks). I finally had enough and jokingly told the officer I'm pressing charges on her for sheer stupidity, contagious ignorance, and for feeling my IQ drop around her
