They say the first rule in business is that the customer is always right. But anyone whoโ€™s worked in retail knows that sometimes โ€” often, in fact โ€” the customer is very, very wrong.

Some people just seem to lose their minds around store employees. Or maybe they never learned manners, to begin with. Either way, they feel very comfortable making the most outlandish, almost impossible demands. As long as theyโ€™re the customer, they get to do whatever they want, right?

But the demands are annoying if not out of line. And sometimes, theyโ€™re so bizarre that employees canโ€™t even figure them out. Then, more often than not, the customer gets irate over the misunderstanding and storms out.

A viral Twitter thread from user Pigeon Fancier recently asked: โ€œWhatโ€™s the most ridiculous demand a customer has made of you?โ€ And boy, did the internet deliver. People from all industries weighed in with stories of the most entitled, bizarre, and outlandish requests theyโ€™ve heard in their line of work.

So, kick back, relax, and enjoy these 75 stories of entitled customers. And while weโ€™re at it, letโ€™s all resolve to be nice to the retail workers in our lives. They deserve it.
