Employees Share The Best Instant Karma They’ve Seen Happen To A Rude Customer

Pixabay

Regardless of the industry we work in, we’re often taught by our bosses that the customer is always right. Clearly, this doesn’t imply that the customer can’t be incorrect. Rather, it typically means that whatever the customer says goes.

For example, if a customer complains that their salad had a piece of hair in it, you roll with it, and you give them a new salad in replacement free of charge, along with a genuine apology. You don’t just stand there and try to rebut their claim. Customers deserve to be treated with the utmost respect as they’re the reason you even have a job from the start.

Unfortunately, however, customers sometimes take advantage of the whole “the customer is always right” policy. They tend to believe that just because employees are catering to them, that they’re entitled to whatever they want, whether it be a discount on a product or a spot at the very front of the line that they didn’t rightfully earn. For these people, they often think they have more power over the employees themselves. We consider customers like these to be rude, angry, bitter people who often have no remorse for their behavior.

When we come in contact with customers like the latter, all we can do is be professional and remain as friendly as possible in response. Nevertheless, we’re still human, so we can’t help but think how badly we want karma to come bite them in the butt to teach them a well-deserved lesson.

Well, in the following stories, karma does come back around – and pretty quickly too – shortly after retail, restaurant, and hospitality employees witness an awful customer or group of customers in their place of work. These stories are definitely juicy and worthy of a read!

33. He Left His New iPhone Behind When He Dined And Dashed

“I was a witness to this particular incident. At a sports bar, a group of about 5 to 6 loud, obnoxious guys in their early 20’s order tons of beer, wings, and food and are generally sh*tty to the waitress. Once they are finished, they decide to ‘dine and dash’ on their bill, running out before the waitress comes back with the bill. One problem; one of the guys forgets his brand new iPhone on the table.

This leads to the whole group having to come back with their tails between their legs and ask for the phone back. They got berated by the owner and waitress in front of everyone and banned from the bar. Instant karma.” dseb123

32. His Wife Forced Him To Apologize

Pixabay

“Not instant karma but funny nonetheless. Worked in a toy store and was called to customer services to check out a supposedly faulty electronic toy. An elderly guy had been complaining to my colleague at the till that the toy was shoddy, and he knows bad quality items when he sees them as he was an electrical engineer. As I’m looking at the toy, the guy continues to give her and me grief like, ‘How can you sell such low-quality products’ and tells it how we’ve ruined his day by making him have to come down to the store.

Turns out, he had the AA batteries round the wrong way. I tell him this, and he becomes more irate, clearly embarrassed, but insisting that it definitely didn’t work before. He leaves with the item.

A couple of hours later, my colleague on customer services receives a phone call from the man and can hear a woman’s voice in the background. ‘Go on, apologize to the poor girl,’ followed by a reluctant apology. And even better, she next says ‘And tell her you’re not an engineer either!'” Rodgey_

31. The Cops Took Her Luggage To Another Terminal

Pixabay

“Lady comes into the restaurant, and after I tell her we aren’t serving food, she makes a face at me, and proceeds to still sit down at a table. Orders a glass of wine, sees the cook is still there (in the back, cleaning up the kitchen after the night is over). She walks up to the bar and says, ‘Excuse me. You’re being unprofessional. I see someone in the kitchen. You lied to me. You can have him make me some food. You need to be re-trained on your job.’

I smile politely and say, ‘I’m sorry, the kitchen is closed for the night. The cook needs to go home tonight because we aren’t open all night.’ She then says, ‘No wonder you don’t have a real job’ and storms back to her table, finishes her wine, and leaves (Of course leaves me no tip – shocker).

As soon as she’s out of earshot, all the people at the bar verbally attack her and commend me on keeping my cool, which felt great on its own. But the best part? We’re in an airport, and she left her bags behind. The official protocol which I HAD to follow even though hers was the only and last flight out? Calling the police, having them take her bags to another terminal for inspection, meaning there’s no way she had them for her flight.

It was like a movie scene where the bad guy destroyed himself I was so happy.” sock_hands

30. She Messed With The Wrong Store

Pixabay



“Standing at the counter of the pizza place I work at. Lady storms in and slams a pizza down on the counter.

‘This isn’t the f*cking pizza I ordered, what the hell are you going to do about it?’ She asked.

I look at the pizza then at my buddy Nick and turn back to her and say, ‘Nothing.’

She then goes on a long rant telling how we are going to be fired, how stupid and incompetent we were, she actually told me I must be retarded, then asked why the hell we weren’t going to do anything?

I said, ‘Because that pizza came from the pizza shop across the street.’

I think she actually managed to shrink in size and slink out looking so pathetic and beaten I almost felt bad for laughing till tears dripped down my face as she slunk off.” necrohonkey

29. You’re Supposed To Buy Insurance So You Don’t Have To Use It

Pixabay

“Worked at a telecom company in Canada (I am no longer an employee, thank God). Lady comes in with a broken iPhone demanding to get a new one for free. If you don’t know, in Canada the iPhone 6s is going for about $400 upfront on a two-year contract at a minimum $80 plan. She had a good plan, but wanted it for free. She called up our loyalty team in-store and spent the next two hours screaming at them.

Finally, they agree to a deal, and she is getting it for zero. She looks at me and goes I do not want a case, and AppleCare is a scam (we work on commission, so this essentially meant I was getting nothing and ruining my numbers). She keeps telling me to hurry up through the setup and I was trying to get them out of the store with everything transferred over and set up. She grabs the phone and starts marching off saying I was a terrible employee. She gets three steps out of the store and drops the phone. Shattered screen, and white screen of death. She ran back in asking what I can do. I shrug and went ‘Sorry, but AppleCare sure would have helped eh?'” thelostcanuck

28. Cashier Teaches The Moral Of The Story

Pixabay

“As a teenager, I was working part-time at a convenience store. I was being trained by the late-night cashier. This dude comes in and grabs a bunch of cans of vegetables and such, and comes to the counter and stacks the cans in a very specific way, like a weird kind of pyramid on the counter.

As the experienced cashier (my trainer) takes each can off the pyramid and rings it up, she reaches the end of the stack and we realize that the weirdo has his wiener out and has it laying on the counter behind the cans.

Without saying a word, the trainer grabs one of the big heavy metal cans of beans and slams it down as hard as she can on the guy’s pecker. He screamed an incredible scream of searing pain, grabbed his junk, and ran out of the store.

She to me: (calmly) ‘You get all kinds on the late shift.'” faxinator

27. She Went To Jail And Got Banned From The Mall

Pixabay

“One of our cashiers got a real piece of work once. Dozens of items, dumped in a heap, snotty tone, raised voice, ample swearing, b*tching about the wait as the cashier untangled her mess of clothing and jewelry. This lady then wanted to use a handful of expired coupons and most importantly wanted to buy a gift card.

Well, you have to show I.D. to buy a prepaid visa at our store, and as this woman hands hers over, and my co-worker realizes the I.D. picture looks familiar. She convinces this woman she needs her I.D. for just a minute, heads to the back, matches the photo to Loss Prevention’s most wanted. Comes back, hands the woman her I.D. informs her the transaction can’t be completed and phones the cops. The woman storms out, right into a pair of awaiting handcuffs.

After a search of her car, turns out she had just over $5000 worth of stolen merchandise from the mall, and here, $5000 is the tipping point from minor to major theft. She got an unknown jail sentence and was banned from the mall.” The_Foe_Hammer

26. The Item He Tried To Get For A Discount Sold For Full Price Seconds Later

Pixabay

“Working at a music store. We do a lot of business in high-end band instruments (tubas, clarinets, etc). We only put them on sale for a couple of weeks every year, and we’re nearing the end of the sale. An older guy comes in to look at trumpets, and he’s ogling the most expensive one we had on display, really standing there for a good few minutes. My coworker asks him if he wants any help, or if he’s interested in trying it out, and the customer just starts talking sh*t about the expensive trumpet. ‘It’s nice, but I’m really not that impressed. $3,400? That’s too much for that thing, yeah right.’

Right at that moment, we get a phone call asking us for that same model trumpet, and the customer is willing to pay for it in full over the phone to reserve it. Normally we would have 3 or 4 of these horns around but the sale was good and the very last one was getting sh*t-talked by this old guy.

My other coworker just strolls up behind the dude and plucks it off the wall, and the old dude just goes f*cking ballistic, yelling, calling us all incompetents, etc. Turns out he really wanted it but was pretending not to in order to try to get us to lower the price. There was nothing we could do for him, the sale was only on stuff we had in stock. He eventually ordered one (costing him an extra few hundred bucks). We laughed about that one for a long time.” GingerAil

Another User Comments:
“Musician here. We are selective about instruments and a lot of it is ‘you get what you pay for.’ A $2000 Gibson Les Paul is gonna be heaps better in terms of specs and quality than the Squier Stratocaster that’s listed for $200. Most of the time, we know what we’re getting when we drop a chunk of coin on an instrument. Although, I still like to demo some things before I buy if it’s something I’m not super familiar with. On the other side of the coin, I am a cheapskate so I do watch for deals.” Some_Drummer_Guy

25. She Got Arrested For An Unrelated Reason

Pixabay

Thank goodness they took their time cashing her check!

“I had a woman come into my bank one day years ago in mid-August and try to cash a check. Said check looked like it had been written by a four-year-old. We went through the protocol as mandated by our organization, calling the issuer and verifying all data. While we were going through this procedure, the woman goes off on a tantrum. She’s ripping the little pens with chains from the little desks, throwing deposit slips around, demanding she speak to the president of the bank and verbally abusing all the employees. Likewise, she looks to have done enough speed to stay up for a week straight.

We are finally able to get ahold of the issuer of the check, and lo and behold, it’s a good check. We cash it. Thank her for her patience. As she’s storming out cursing, two officers walk in and identify her as the owner of a car in the parking lot. Said car had a small child, no more than two-years-old, locked inside the entire time. 20 minutes, in August. Some good people called the cops, broke out the window and rescued the kid and had that b*tch arrested. I hope to God that that little kid has found a new home or that the mom has cleaned up her act.” TrivialDispute

24. A Woman Vomited On Her

Pixabay

Double whammy!

“Happened at a grocery store I worked at. This one customer came in and literally had three entire carts of food. All packed to the brim. She was constantly complaining about how slow we were and correcting us on bagging. All in all, we basically got it done reasonably. She proceeded to pay and walk out (two baggers had to help her).

At that moment, there was a very pregnant woman standing next to her in the entryway who projectile vomited onto the customer and much of her cart. Customer lost her mind and ended up getting arrested for trying to attack the woman. I was pretty satisfied.” justyourbarber

23. She Ate Our Gross Jellybeans

Pixabay

“I used to work at a jewelry store that was right next to a suit shop in a mall. We had a bit of a silly rivalry going with the suit shop guys and were always trying to play tricks on each other.

One afternoon, we set out some of those awful puke-flavored jelly beans in our candy dish that one of them would always snack from when he came to visit. It was a really slow day, so we didn’t think much of it and figured we could stop any actual clients from going for them.

Cue crazy client storming in and being all angry about whatever it was. She tears a strip right up and down my co-worker and I. We deal with whatever her issue was (it’s been too long to remember, but I know it was not worth the fuss she was making), and we are ringing through her purchase. All of a sudden, she reaches over and grabs a candy. Co-worker and I just watch and wait for her face to turn from seething anger to just on the verge of vomit. Holy smokes, it was funny. She never said a d*mn thing either.” Babymakerwannabe

22. She Got Fired After Trying To Get Our Store Shut Down

Pixabay

“Worked at Best Buy ten or so years ago. This happened on Black Friday. Most of the customers were in bad moods since they’d been waiting for hours to come in and stand in more lines. But this one lady was a raging b*tch. After yelling at everyone in my department about how she NEEDED the laptop that was on sale despite it being sold out. She proceeds to tell us she’ll have the store closed down because she ‘works with the city and knows the fire marshall, and we have too many people in the store.’ So, she calls him, we tell her to leave, and nothing happens to the store. However we called them as well to report what she’d said, and she got fired from her job for abuse of power.” mayonays

21. They Got Pulled Over For DUI

Pixabay

These cops are awesome!

“More than a few decades ago I worked at Denny’s. I had two male customers who decided to dine and dash. Got their license plate number and reported it to the cops and jokingly mentioned that they didn’t even tip! Later that night they got pulled over for DUI. Cops recognized license plate number from the report, brought them both back to the restaurant and forced them to pay the bill. After he was done paying, the cop just stood there and looked at them and said, ‘Well?’ The guy sheepishly handed me my tip.” Reddit user

20. He Accidentally Damaged Someone’s Windshield

Pixabay

It’s insane what customers will try to return to the store.

“In automotive parts store. Had to inform a customer that he could not return the spark plugs he purchased due to him not having a receipt and the plugs being used for YEARS, and it was a brand we didn’t even sell. He was irate with a string of swear words that would make a longshoreman blush. Upon storming out of the store, he threw the loose spark plugs across the parking lot, striking another customers windshield and shattering it. Other customer saw and was none too pleased. I laughed so so hard.” dangerc775

19. He Slammed Into A Police Cruiser

Pixabay

“Working the window at McDonald’s late night. Guy orders whatever and pulls up to the window. I’m cooking and handling the window, so I wasn’t there when the customer pulled up. When I walked up to the window. I didn’t see the f*cker with trash in his lap. I open the window to take his card/cash, and he throws a bag of trash at me. I take a step back, bothered that I just got trash thrown at me, and I watch his car speed off. I’m livid, but there’s nothing I can do.

A couple of seconds later, I hear a small bang of metal on metal. I walk to the lobby and look out the windows. The d*uchebag slammed into a police cruiser who was about to loop around and use the drive-thru himself. Of course, I also went to tell the officer what just happened inside.” RedditWhileWorking23

18. He Claimed His Coffee Wasn’t Hot Enough Until It Spilled All Over Him

Pixabay

“I work for Starbucks. A rude customer was complaining that his coffee wasn’t hot, and he wanted a refund (it was an Americano, and it’s burning hot if you ever had it before). As he proceeded to slam the cup down on the counter saying, ‘The cup doesn’t feel hot enough’ (well, that is because, in order to prevent you from burning your hands, we double cupped it and put a sleeve on it), it exploded all over his hands, and he was jumping around yelling, ‘HOT, HOT, HOT, HOT, F*CKING HOT!!!’

One of our regulars, a lovely old lady, watching all this happen and said, ‘It is hot enough now, isn’t it?’ He yelled some insults at her and left the store after threatening to sue the store. Karma.” pinkirena

17. He Threatened Her

Pixabay

Punishing your child is one thing, but abusing them is never something others should “stay quiet about.”

“Once I saw a woman being really terrible to her kids. They were maybe 6 and 9, but she was swearing at them (things I have never heard or said to an adult) and calling them names. They were both crying hysterically just trying to eat their pizza.

The only other table in the place was a trio of construction workers sitting behind them. I had asked the woman several times to calm down, but she would just say she wasn’t hurting anyone and basically to butt out. She would swear at me and threw a piece of chicken at me as I walked away. I called my manager up, but he didn’t like to remove customers, so he wanted to wait and see if this continued.

Then she smacked one of the little girls on the back of the head. Before my manager and I could react, one of the construction workers walked over, and he asked the mom to join him at the bar. I think she thought he was hitting on her cause she was all smiles and flirty. As soon as she was away from the kids, he told her: ‘If I see you lay a finger on those kids again, I will do the same thing to you but 10 times worse. Have a nice evening.’ She immediately left, and they followed her to the door. I can only hope she learned something.” Hollyberry3140

16. After His Dad Berated Me, His Son Hugged Me

Pixabay

“I was a server during college at an upper scale restaurant. I rarely had problems with customers and am overall genuinely friendly. I had a table for 4 with only 3 patrons there, an older couple with their adult daughter. I served them beverages and was told we were to wait for patron #4, the son.

About 40 minutes and 2 refills go by. I say, ‘I bet you guys are starving by now. Would you like me to bring you your lettuce wraps? They are small enough to not ruin your appetite, or are we still waiting for my buddy?’

Father said, ‘We are going to wait, and he isn’t you buddy. Frankly, you don’t know him. He’s a hard-working man and will be respected.’
‘You’re right sir, forgive me.’ I responded.
‘He actually has a real job.’
‘I understand, sir. It won’t happen again.’ I left the table.

When I come back for refill number 3, the son was arriving. The son happened to be an old high school friend. Before taking a seat, he gave me a hug right in front of his dad. I looked at the father and said, ‘Small world, huh? I can’t believe you’re my old buddy [name]’s, family. I’m surprised we’ve never met before with [name] and I spending so much time together in high school.’ It’s too bad our restaurant didn’t serve crow.” OffdutyEngineer

15. The Inside Of Their Car Got Sprayed With Soda

Pixabay

“When I was 18, I worked the Saturday night graveyard shift at a Jack in the Box in a sh*t heap part of town. One night, a group of d*ckhead teens comes through the drive-thru and order only water (it’s free; it’s a regular request, our manager always made us give anyone and everyone free water even if that’s all they ordered).

So, these kids pull up to the window and the shift leader started handing out these free waters. When my shift leader handed them the last water, the d*ckhead driver threw the cup of water right back through the open window and started to drive off.

Shift leader grabbed the extra-large soda on the counter (it was for the car after theirs) and throws it right at their car. It clips the top edge of their open window and sprays the inside of their car with coke. Fast thinking and fantastic reflexes made for instant karma.” val0ciraptor

14. My Brother Stood Up To Him

Pixabay

Brother love!

“Working as the attendant at a self-checkout. A customer became irate when I told him that we could not accept a coupon that had expired over six months previously and called me a ‘vapid c*nt.’

Neither he nor I knew up until that moment that my tall, muscular, highly protective older brother was standing in earshot. He grabbed the customer by the shoulder, spun him around, leaned down to get at his eye level and growled, ‘WHAT did you just say to my little sister?’ right in his face. Dude practically peed himself and ran out of the store.” Lachwen

13. She Accused Me Of Calling Her Son Irresponsible, Then He Was

Pixabay

“I was selling a woman a Nintendo 3DS for her son. I had given the son the box while I was ringing everything up because he was so happy to get his new toy. When it came time to talk about the accidental damage protection plan, she gave me an unreasonably hard time, making it sound like I accused her child of not being able to take care of his toys.

The second she said that the kid threw the box across the store into some shelves and knocked down a bunch of games. She bought the 4-year plan.” JozzyV1

Another User Comments:
“As someone that doesn’t buy those plans, a protection plan for a kid’s 3DS does sound like a good idea.” fuzzynyanko

12. He Got A Ticket

Pixabay

“Guy comes in and is being a complete a*shole. Not wanting to show ID to buy beer even though he looked 20 at the oldest, constantly yelling and swearing. He also had parked in the handicap spot despite not having handicap tags or plates on his car.

One of my regular customers, who is a sheriff’s deputy, was also in the store and saw how the guy was acting. Saw where he was parked. Went out, got his ticket book, and wrote the guy a ticket. Guy realized he wasn’t getting his beer, went outside…to find he was getting ticketed. I could not stop laughing.” LadyVerene

11. He Locked Himself Out Of His Own Truck

Pixabay

“Working drive-thru at a Tim Horton’s, and some a*shole in a massive black truck parked too far away from the window and expected me to lean super far out to give him his change. He was really impatient and just really rude. I just shook my head and so he gets all angry and finally gets out of the truck, and the door shut behind him. It was locked, and he sat there for like 15 minutes, and we had to call a tow truck. Sure, it made everyone behind him mad, but at least they were all mad at him and not us! He acted like it was the biggest embarrassment of his life.” Reddit user

10. They Got Busted For Underage Drinking

Pixabay

They messed with the wrong person.

“Worked late night at a Denny’s. One night a group of frat-bros from one of the colleges comes in around 1 or 2 am the late-night rush. They are the WORST. They order food and leave, come back, switch seats, change orders. They are very obviously filling their cups with booze from flasks, they stand on the tables, and of course, they all want 12 separate checks. I end up with $3.35 in tips, and half the d*uchebags are still there!

One of my regulars is a really sweet off-duty cop that comes in after his shift. When I go to check on him, at one point, his hands are flat on the table, and his face is red. I ask him what’s up, and he says through gritted teeth, ‘One of those little b*stards called me a pig under his breath when he walked by.’ I smile with sweet revenge, ‘I don’t know if this helps, but those kids are drunk, and most of them are underage.’

‘Really?’ Cop calls his precinct, quietly gets a sobriety checkpoint set up outside. SO MANY arrests. SO MANY angry parents picking up cars…” rehabforcandy

9. He Got Arrested Immediately After Robbing Us

Pixabay

“Worked at McDonald’s graveyard shifts for four consecutive years, so I’m used to seeing people at their absolute worst, drunk, high, naked, screaming at whoever is serving them because of whatever.

So it’s 3:47 AM on Sunday. Guy pulls up to the window in the drive-thru, and he pulls out a gun. I’m staring at the gun, very quietly and he tells me to empty the register so I nod, and I do it. He pulls out of the drive-thru, speeds straight into a cop car who then arrests him. I still had to work until nine that morning, but it was hilarious.” Gnarly_Natas

8. He Ruined His Brand New Mercedes-Benz

Pixabay

“Worked at a gas station some odd years ago and the week before it had been snowing a lot so the gas tankers got delayed due to safety reasons. A customer came in a pretty new Mercedes-Benz, something like SLS 400 or something and wanted the premium gas. I explained to him that the tankers are delayed and we currently don’t have any premium gasoline and that he could try the next station down the block. He started swearing at me personally like I have control over the gas delivery. He sped off tires screeching only to have his rear tire hit the curb. His rim got f*cked up really bad and couldn’t drive it. I laughed at him.” Reddit user

7. Their Check Got Declined

Pixabay

“Sold computers and such for Circuit City back in the day. Was fairly new and the only one on shift as someone called in sick. This is around the time the iPod Nano came out so everyone wanted to see them.

Had been working with a group of people selling to each of them for over an hour when some guy comes up to me and asks why I have been ignoring his wife. Apparently, they went into the back corner of the store and stood there not talking to anyone. They wanted a high-end laptop but didn’t want me to get the commission because I ignored them. (We didn’t make a commission at the time, so I didn’t care in the slightest.)

Got the laptop out for a manager to ring up, and their check got declined… I did a happy dance.” starslinger72

6. He Ran Into A Glass Door

Pixabay

“I work at a hotel’s front desk. One day, we had a guest who was claiming his the room was not up to his standards and decided to make a big deal about it the next morning. He was so rude to the point of almost making a co-worker cry of desperation because she refused to compensate the night as his arguments seemed really fake and invalid.

Once he saw he was not going to get anything back, he threw his receipt on the floor and power-walked his way out into a very clean glass door that was recently cleaned. His sunglasses broke, causing him a small cut on the upper part of his nose. My co-worker and I couldn’t stop laughing the second he walked out even madder.” sanch3z90

5. She Slipped On The Floor

Pixabay

“Was working at Petsmart and a woman came in trying to get a new tank and fish on the same day (easy way to kill fish if you’re not careful). She also wanted to overstock it with goldfish (dead fish guarantee), so I refused the sale and tried to direct her to a more reasonable purchase. She got in a huff, yelled at me and while attempting to storm out, slipped and busted on the ground…directly in front of a ‘caution, wet’ sign.” EclecticGoogler

“So many people don’t realize you need to cycle the tank. We have the Internet, people. Use it.” Adama0001

4. A Cop Was Right Behind Him The Whole Time

Pixabay

Who would be stupid enough to think $25 dollar steaks would only be priced at $1.99 anyway?!

“I worked at a grocery store. We had a man who was clearly a meth head come in. He took the UPC sticker off of a one-dollar ninety-nine pack of chicken and placed it on a twenty-five dollar pack of steaks. While he was laying his items on the belt, a uniformed police officer comes in behind him buying a bottle of water. I pick up the steaks, take a look, and I asked the officer to take a look at what this man has just handed me. Cop takes him to the cruiser and low and behold he has warrants on him for armed robbery.” justburch712

3. He Broke His Repaired Laptop

Pixabay

“I forget most of the details, but in summary, I was working in a PC repair place. Guy comes in to collect the repaired laptop and decides he’s going to be a d*ck. General ranting and raving ensue, including personal insults to me and various colleagues, before he triumphantly turns to leave.

Whips laptop off the counter in the bag he forgot to zip shut after inspecting said laptop. Laptop descends rapidly towards the hard floor and reconstitutes itself into more pieces than specified in its original design. I laugh and walk away.” Reddit user

2. The Prices Run Up Incorrectly, And She Flipped

Pixabay

“Working at a video game store… Customer brings up two games for me to ring up. Both games have stickers saying they are $40. I scan the first one and find that it is actually coming up as $50, so I tell her, and she’s furious. Usually, I’m sympathetic and will try to find a way to give a discount, but before I can explain anything she starts cussing up a storm and saying how it’s illegal to do that, and I HAVE to charge her the sticker price because it’s the law (It’s not illegal, and I don’t HAVE to do anything like that by law).

As she’s yelling at me, I scan the next game and it comes up as $15 – and now I start grinning wide and cut her off to say, ‘Well, this game is coming up as only $15, but since IT’S THE LAW I have to charge you more.’ She starts huffing and demands she has it both ways, and I just stick with her ‘it’s the law!’ excuse. She didn’t buy either game and left the store.” splenda82

1. His Dropped His Pizzas Down The Stairs

Pixabay

So, it may not have been immediate karma, but karma still got him!

“I used to work delivery for Domino’s, and I delivered to this guy three times, and he’d stiffed me every time. The last time I delivered to him, he turned to go up the stairs (it was a dorm, so we weren’t allowed to go to the rooms), and as I was walking away, I heard him drop the three pizzas that he had from the top of the stairs where they tumbled all the way to the bottom.” interestingtimes

It’s always entertaining seeing bad people getting what they deserve for their awful actions! Too often, however, we see customers getting away with the most ridiculous of things. Not only do we have to remain professional at work, but sometimes, we’re essentially forced to grant the ridiculous wishes of a grouchy customer just so we don’t lose our job. But for those few times we do get to witness karma reacting in a lightning-speed manner to teach a lesson to our rudest customers, they certainly become stories to remember.

As an employee, what was the best way karma has gotten your worst-ever customer? Share these stories with your friends on Facebook to see how many of them can relate!
