There is nothing worse than an entitled customer who thinks that you owe them something, but things get especially complicated when they assume that you work for the place when, in fact, you are just a customer like everyone else. Just imagine being put in that position!
To help prepare for these types of encounters, we've picked out some of the best stories from the subreddit DontWorkHereLady of people who have experienced just that. These stories highlight the entitlement and ignorance of these customers, and they're both hilarious and frustrating to read.
Have you ever found yourself in a similar situation? If so, we want to hear about it in the comments.
To learn more about the impact of customer entitlement on service workers' well-being, Bored Panda reached out to Glenda Fisk and Dr. Lukas Neville, an associate professor at the Asper School of Business who together published a study on that very subject. Read the full interview with Lucas below.
