I was today yr old when I learned an alarming identification number of multitude think Disneyland is inside a giant , invisible domed stadium .
Recently, I asked members of theBuzzFeed Communitytosharethe dumbest things a customer ever asked of them. Y’all…my jaw is on the floor after reading these. Like…WHAT??????
I got tons and tons of submissions, so here are 15 of the very best, wildest ones:
1.“I worked at a cinema for a few years, the customers were…challenging to say the least. One time we ran out of medium size soft drink cups. I woman asked for a medium coke, and we explained we ran out of that cup size, but still had small and large. She looked at me and then said, ‘Oh OK, I’ll have a medium Fanta instead.'”

2.“A person came up to me, asking about the prices of kayak rentals. I gave them the prices and told them that we were closed for the day as sunset was in 10 minutes. Confused, she said, ‘Sunset? I’m not from around here, what does that mean?'”

3.“I’m a hotel night auditor. I had a guest come late night/very early morning. They had just made a reservation online, and since it was after midnight, the reservation was technically for the next night. I told them I could either check them in right now and we would have to charge for two nights, or they could check in at 3 p.m. and only pay for the one night. The guest asked, ‘Can I check in at 3 p.m. now?'”

4.“Once I had a lady buy five bags of paper rolls for coins that held about a dozen of each denomination. After she bought these for $1 a piece, she just stood there. I asked her what she was waiting on and she replied, ‘Just waiting for you to tell me where to take these for you to fill.’ I looked at her dumbfounded and laughed. She asked what was so funny, and I explained that there was no such program, and if she found a place willing to give away $200-plus dollars on every bag, to please send me the address. Obviously, she asked for a refund.”
5.“I worked in a lingerie store for a couple of years and once had a customer come in and try to return her used underwear to us. The type of underwear she was attempting to return has a little bit of silicone on the edge to stop them from riding up, and it had clearly become frayed from overwashing it. She claimed that she had recently purchased them and that they must be defective. However, she couldn’t produce a receipt. I got in touch with customer service and they were able to pull up her entire transaction history. She purchased them over five years ago!”
6.“My ex worked at Disneyland and he got a lot of ridiculous questions on the regular. Like, ‘what time do the 9:25 fireworks start?’ He also had a lady ask him to turn down the air conditioner because her aunt was cold. They were outside. Apparently, a concerning amount of people think Disney parks are built in some kind of temperature-controlled dome.”

7.“I used to work in the garden center at a big home improvement store. I once had a customer tell me they were looking for a plant, but couldn’t remember what it was called. I asked them to describe it and they said, ‘It’s big and has leaves.’ I asked if they could be a little more specific and they said, ‘It’s green.'…Yeah, that really narrows it down.”
8.“I was working the service desk at a very popular department store on Black Friday. A guest wanted to return theLion KingDVD she had gotten. She handed me the receipt and looked at me expectantly. I asked her where the movie was and she said she put it back. I told her that she had to physically have the movie in order to return it. She told me she was trying to make it easier on me so we didn’t have to put it away later while the store was so busy. Yeah right, lady!”

9.“When my husband worked in Denali National Park in Alaska, he had a tourist ask him, ‘When do you let the animals out for viewing?'”

10.“I worked for a large craft retail chain. A customer once asked me to make a paper ball. When I asked her to clarify, she looked at me like I had sprouted horns. Then she snapped at me, saying, ‘Like, origami, duh!’ I informed her I did not know origami, but we had books and kits she could purchase. She scoffed and said, ‘How did YOU ever get a job here if you can’t even make a paper ball?!’ Guess I missed that training day.”
11.“I used to work at a coffee shop and had a customer order a pot of tea. So, I picked up a teapot and start filling it. She shouted, ‘No! Don’t touch it with your dirty little hands!’ I then tried to explain that I couldn’t make her tea without touching anything. She did not like that and demanded to speak to my manager.”

12.“I worked for Ulta and encountered my fair share of interesting customers. My personal favorite was an older woman looking for a hand cream that would reduce the look of wrinkles. I directed her to a product that helps with just that and recommended she try our tester. We were rather busy that day so I asked if she had any questions about the product. She did not, so I told her I would be back to check on her in a bit after assisting another customer. Well while I’m helping this other customer, my manager radios over the headset that this lady is basically scooping the product from the tester into her own jar.”
" Samples are only given at the boutiques ( MAC , Clinique , Lancôme , etc ) and made by an employee . This lady was straight - up steal product . My manager explained to the lady that testers are for testing product in store only , not for taking heavy amount of product home with you . The customer did not like this , so after arguing with my director , she located me in another gangway ( still help another client ) to tell me that she was never coming back here and that she would tell everyone she know to stop coming here , and that my managing director need to need for a refund from school / college , since she clearly did n’t learn anything , then storm off . Myself and the customer I was helping before being break by the lady were speechless .

13.“I work at a boutique that is owned by relatives of Adam Levine. The year Maroon 5 was playing the halftime show, I got a call asking if we were selling tickets to the Super Bowl… at our clothing boutique.”

14.“I once had a customer complain that we didn’t have the product he desired in stock anymore. He had his old container with him and couldn’t find it. We did have it, but the packaging had recently changed. ‘It’s not the same,’ he said. I turned both containers on their sides and showed him that both bar codes were exactly the same, but he refused to budge.”

15.And finally, “A woman asked me how to get out of the shop. As we were standing in front of the exit. I turned my head to the door and walked away.”
