I had a customer try to return something for cash back, which was against the company's policy. I told them I could get them a gift card or they could exchange the item. They told me that, legally, a store has to inform its customers in some way that they don't do cash back. I showed them on the receipt where it was printed in large letters and the guy starts to turn into a huge baby and yells that it has to be posted in the store to be "legally binding", not just on the receipt. So I calmly pointed at the large plaque on the counter that reads NO CASH RETURNS. STORE CREDIT OR EXCHANGES ONLY ON CASH PURCHASES. The man then completes his transformation into a whiny toddler, shouts "I didn't come here to read!" Then scoops his attempted return off the counter and storms out.
While I was reading this I leaned more towards the customer until you said the sign was in clear view, if he ignored it that's his own fault but if the sign wasn't there you'd be fucked.
@@unoriginalhazard yeah if it was just on the receipt that would be like if when you opened the box to your new video game it had a page in the manual that said the developers could stab you or your loved ones in the balls when every they felt like then you complain and the developer says "well it's in the manual you should have read the manual and if you dont like that term you shouldn't have bought the game" like what point does it have if it's in something I already bought and already agreed to without knowing. and i know there is no way the ball stabbing is legally enforceable it was just to prove a point bc I know people will try to disprove the whole point through one small detail
One of my favorite comebacks from a customer at a store I work for was coming from a guy getting hounded by an old lady for god knows what and simply taking it without even blinking. He just turns to her and goes: "There's only two differences between you and I, I'm not a woman and I won't be dead in five years." And he just walked off and I actually couldn't contain my laughter to the point I had to go into the break room to keep myself from dying in front of all the customers.
worked in Asda's for 6 years my favourite line to use when someone was getting pissy with me was, after speaking a whole conversation in English with them to look them dead in the eyes and say "No Englis" and walk away leaving them seething.
The end reminded me of a time I was working in retail and there was this old man looking at some computers. I went to offer him help finding anything and he turns on me with this frustrated glare and starts telling about how he doesn't need any help, he's perfectly capable of finding whatever he needs, he's sick of all these employees coming up and talking to him, and on and on. All I could do was say "Sorry for trying to help you and for doing what I'm paid to do." And walk away.

I had someone get mad that they had to pay for extra sauce for their food, “ I know it’s dumb, but that was the rules for the place I worked.” So they decided that after paying for their 25 cent sauce that they would throw it at the cashier working there, as though that would solve anything. All it did was ruin someone trying to do their job’s night.
Wasn't that a retcon? I thought originally he was British, but Flemming loved Connery's portrayal of Bond so much he made him Scottish in later novels?
We once had this *lovely* person from Love Island come into my place of work. He came up to the serving desk and asked me for free entry. I didn't know who tf he was and obvs said no. Well he threw a fit saying the line "do you know who I am?!" and when I replied I didn't he looked so crestfallen it was hilarious. I've never had to school my expressions so much through a customer exchange.

I was unfortunate enough to work in a hotel in the 80's where a certain band with a certain lead singer, famous for looking good in a bin bag, were staying. I've never met anyone as unnecessarily abusive as they were. Great music. Appalling attitude.
I've found that the best way to deal with bad customers is to treat them with the utmost kindness. 99% of the time where I work, a bad customer's goal is to bring you down to their ranting screaming level, and by being kind and not going to the mat, it just frustrates them more. I make it a point to end all interactions with a bad customer with a good ol' "Have a wonderful day and god bless".
My dad was upset that a fast-food worker didn't make his burger to his order (surprise surprise) so he pelted the worker in the face with it. I still can't go back in there 13 yrs later out of shame for being associated with that behavior.
Karl you always have the best personal stories, like coffee cup man, I end up looking forward to the closing segments of your videos more than the facts. And I love the facts!!
One of my worst Customer service experiences as a Grocery Retail worker who runs a Dairy Department, I had a man his Early 50s throw a massive tantrum at me because we do not carry a specific brand of butter in stick form, but we have it in spreadable tubs. He just flipped his gourd and went off at how terrible this store is, how dare I tell him we don't care something we always did, etc. etc. as he left the area ranting and raving down the isle over us not having a particular brand of stick butter. It was bad enough two customers who saw the whole exchange came up to me and apologized for him, I told them I appreciated the sentiment but it's not their place to apologize for someone else's tantrum.
I used to supervise a computer dept at Best Buy. The last day we are open before Christmas a woman has a screaming hissy fit because we are out of computers and she wants one for her daughter. Her husband said she shouldn't have waited so long and that just made it worse. I had called over two sheriff's deputies (we use off duty as extra security) to have her escorted out. Our MOD comes over and tells her that he just remembered one place we "haven't looked," needless to say, I don't have a clue what he is talking about. He then precedes to squat down in the middle of the aisle and acts like he is trying to have his first dump in weeks. Then stands up and confidently announces "Nope. We are all out." Everyone around us burst out laughing. The woman's mouth was working, but nothing was coming out. Her husband tells her to "shut the hell up before you get arrested" pointing at the cops. He also informed her that he would "leave her ass in there" over Christmas as he'd had enough of her crap. I really wish I had been able to record that incident so I could show future retail managers just how to handle certain customers. 😎😂😂
Where I work, we occasionally have to serve coffee to the council, and one lady tried her luck to get a discount on a £1 coffee. When we refused, she angrily said "I OWN YOU, GIVE ME A DISCOUNT". I said to her, "council or not sweetheart, you do not own me as a person, there is really no need to be so rude over a bloody £1 coffee". Anyway everytime she came in she tried to get her friend just to get her a pot of hot water on the sly (as some people like extra hot water) for her own tea bags until we caught on and stopped her. The tight fucker. Not as exciting as other stories here but she really thought she was royalty.
My friend worked on a gas station that also sold hot dogs. One night a guy walked in and started going around, reading newspapers and acting suspiciously overall. They kept an eye on him while serving some couple. The couple wanted hot dogs, but they were out at that moment, so my friend apologized and they left. Immediately after that the shady guy walked to the counter and asked for a hot dog. My friend told him that they were out, surprised, because she was certain that he heard the exchange from a moment before. The he started yelling at them, telling them they were incompetent and left. After that he filed an official complaint to their manager. He got a 100% discount for the next hot dog, it was standard course of action for handling complaints by the gas station. He probably knew that very well.
I think Jackass 3 lifted that "I'm her man-friend" line from somewhere - as I've heard it before. IIRC, Rick Moranis says it in the 1990 film My Blue Heaven.
In Denmark i was employed as what is basically a cleaner/erand boy during the day in a shop like asda. one day im going about my business on a saturday and i see a man waving me over because he needs help (its policy to go ask what he needs and then get someone from the right department to help him since im clearly labled cleaner). i go over and he asks me where the single use grills are which i of course dont know cause it a seasonal item in the start of the season. i tell him nicely that i dont know but i will get someone to him immediatly. he doesnt like this and asks me why i dont know. i answer honestly that i haven't purchased one and im not the guy that stocks shelves. he then starts poking me in the chest where the store lable is while spelling it out. by far the rudest man that i've met in Denmark. tldr: man pokes me in the chest while spelling the name of my store for not knowing something outside my job description
I've worked in a restaurant for nearly 6 years now and one of my biggest regrets is when I was a customer in a (decidedly British) pub restaurant for my lunch with my gran. It's one of those places where you find a seat, note the table number, and go to the bar to place your order. I was behind this group of 4 ladies waiting to order (my gran stayed at the table), and the card machine was down so cash only payments. There were MANY signs for this around the bar and the restaurant in general. It was IMPOSSIBLE to miss. Anyway these women had the poor girl working the till cancel and put through their order THREE TIMES so that they could put it through correctly (there was some offer on meals, like 2 for £x amount). I was waiting with cash literally in my hand and this girl looked apologetically at me for the wait, but I had dealt with women like this before. When they finally got it right, two of the four had gone back to sit down at their table. Then PAYING comes. They somehow didn't notice the card machine was broken. Like the sign on the bar top and ON THE CARD MACHINE didn't say "Cash only, sorry for the inconvenience". And one of these women just turned to the girl and says "This is all your fault, this is." My jaw dropped and honestly my biggest regret is that I DIDN'T tell this b**** that it's not her fault, she didn't break the card machine to specifically ruin your day, and she probably wishes it works more than you do. I honestly regret not saying something in her defence, but I like to think I made her day a little better by telling her that the woman was just rude and that I sympathise. It's one of those situations where you think of a witty thing to say after the situation is long over and I hate that I didn't say something.
Best one liner I've ever heard, is when in "el laberinto del fauno" the asshole dude asks the revolutionaries to make sure his son gets to know who his father was. Without thinking it someone said "no" and then they killed him.

Your preposition being that being Scottish and liking Tea are mutually exclusive? Also as someone else pointed out, tea originates from India or China.
Given that Bond's father was Scottish, his mother Swiss, and he spent his childhood (prior to their death) in Scotland and was born in either Switzerland and/or Germany - how exactly is he English? British, yes - but definitely not English.
You're not wrong, but two things worth considering: 1) Most of the films, which are how most people know 007, show him with a distinctly English accent. 2) Many people annoyingly do not recognise the differences between Britain and England anyway... Even in England. The Queen of England isn't a thing that exists and yet that's how Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is often thought of. It's just convenience, but it's at the cost of clarity and accuracy. Ramble ramble ramble. Old man yells at cloud.
@@ost2life To counter: 1) The video clearly states that they are referring to the books - rather than the films. Read the books and I'm sure you'll see that everything I wrote is accurate. 2) Your second point doesn't impact the validity of my statement. Just because other people don't understand nations & nationalism doesn't make my statement erroneous. Good try though.
Iain Hunter those books were retcons to explain Connery sounding slightly Scottish. Bond is an Eton educated upper class Brit (hence the RP accent). In the original novels written before the films came out Bond shared many of Fleming’s own characteristics (his personality and way of speaking. Read casino Royale and then watch Fleming speak and you’ll see how Bond was imagined).
The tea James Bond had to drink was at a health spa and was made from some crap that didn't have caffeine, In there opinion It was a healthy option. But tasted like crap.
I like my tea overly fussy. Loose leaf oolong, 150°F water, 3 minutes steep. At least when I only want a single cup. Otherwise it's the same tea, but a larger quantity of leaves, 165° water for 35 seconds. But it really is down to what you like. I'm willing to suffer the inconvenience of that preparation method and the expense because it's what I like.
Dakota Jones British means your from anywhere on the island of Britain. Britain being made up of Wales, England and Scotland. Most of them aren't interchangeable. Whilst you could call anyone from those three countries British, we all tend to get a bit annoyed if we're all referred to as English.
@@dueltaylor Thanks for the clarification. I can kind of understand that from my experience with state pride and while nouns exist for natives of each state, they're not often utilized. Not sure why other than superseding national pride and the fact they they just sound weird. As far as our schools are concerned Britain, England, and United Kingdom are synonymous. (at least up to 9th grade) I learned something today. :)
"Refined tastes" from the man who popularised the vodka Martini because he couldn't tell the difference between cheap and expensive gin. Got to love how much of a pillock Fleming was
If any bad customer had done what they’ve done to me anywhere but at work, I would’ve dismissed them with a cold sarcastic remark. But you have to show an ungodly amount of friendliness while being paid minimum wage. Really sucks because there are some people I had the legal right to slap.
Great Britain now: quaint and humble land... Great Britain form 16th to 18th centuries: GIVE US YOUR LAND... NO... OK.......BOOMBABOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM (cannons)
James Bond's attitude toward tea is about the same as my attitude toward James Bond, the most overrated fictional character of the modern era. Bond is pretentious and creepy, and he's not even half competent as an assassin. Without plot armor, he'd never survive a single one of his novels or movies.
I was a server for 6 years at a high end restaurant we were always told once a Plate was empty we were to clear it from the table. One night there was an older gentleman with his family he had finished before them so I went to take his plate from the table, He proceeds to stab me in the hand with his steak knife and said u will wait until The entire table is finished before you clear the plates!! I have one child and a wife to support so I couldn't just break this guy's jaw and lose my job. So I slowly and carefully put his plate back getting as much of my blood as I could on the plate and the table and in his drink, then went back to the kitchen said I wasnt going to finish waiting on this prick had the manager finish the service. And after they left the daughter came back and gave me a very large tip and apologised profusely for her dad. So it wasn't all bad but I did end up with like 4 stitches and a story to tell.
Hate that about the food industry. People can be absolutely vile to you and in any normal circumstance, you’d have the right to punch them in the face. But while being paid a pathetic wage, the worst you can do is be mildly passive aggressive.
@@thecheck968 I was being paid 2.85 an hour plus tips in a small town in p.a when this happened most people are super nice and Act like a normal human being but every now and again you would just get someone that Considered them self "better then everyone and High societee compared to everone else." It had to b 1 of the worst places I've ever been employed at.
I've happened as a customer to be not treated well in an establishment, I just finish what I was doing, paid, thank you and leave and never come back, but never retaliates, it's not worth it. You will not want to fight with who serves your table, if fighting, eventually you may happen to have things like saliva or even pubic hair in your meal if you do not treat those who are serving you well. and some customers are just jackass...
I used to work in fast food so there’s plenty of time for customers to be rude after you’re done helping them. This one couple seemed kinda nice so I out extra whipped cream on their shake, gave them fresher fries, all that jazz. When I went to take my break they were being really inappropriate with me so if I had the chance to redo it all, I would’ve punctured his cup so that some extra thin shake would slowly start leaking all over them. (Considering the crap cups, I would’ve easily gotten away with it)
If it wasn’t written by Ian Fleming it doesn’t count. Zero Minus Ten certainly wasn’t. I’ve been disappointed by every authorized or unauthorized continuation of a famous character in new novels (even Kingsley Amis’ version of Bond in Colonel Sun)... I’ve read all of the Fleming books and I don’t recall Bond’s extreme dislike of tea. But it’s been many years.
I always find it ironic that the quintessential Englishman in fiction, James bond, is actually Scottish
It's a common thing in the UK. If you're good at what you do, you're British. If you're bad, you're whatever nationality you actually are. Like Andy Murray. He's British when he wins, Scottish when he loses

Code name T like M standing for " don't you dare name another symbol".
“Humble” huh * laughs in British empire *
I’m glad that my coffee addiction is justified by one of Britain’s biggest icons
Right at the very end of the video, when he pulled out his phone, I initially thought Karl was pulling a mars bar outta his back pocket XD.
I still don't understand why people add milk and sugar to tea.
In Time is an underappreciated treasure!
Your end story reminds me... I must have the kind of face where nobody wants me around them.. people as me all the time if I would like to go ahead of them.... i like it but I don't understand what I'm doing that people are so kind to me..
Quaint and humble land! Haha I want ready for that joke
I hope this is the next fact fiend video that blows up
I guess his sworn enemy must be Mr. T
Requiem for a dream, "I know it's beautiful, but I didn't take it out for air"
I've been looking for in time for the longest!!!! Thank you so much for telling me that title
Thanks to a friend who was in the English military I take my tea white and two, the NATO Brew
Okay, hear* me out.
Next James Bond's villain: Mister T
@MrHandsomeboynow thanks
*hear
The end credits song is a bop.
Tea is like the classiest of beverages.
Search here on UA-cam for: CalebCity When a customer asks for the manager. The essence of what Karl and Nisha are talking about!
@@Ch4pp13 not really they actually do pretty original videos
@@Ch4pp13 naw I get what you mean their just a couple of no budget kids making silly sketches with pirated special effects and nerf guns lol
I don't trust anyone who doesn't like tea.
@@Midnight-Starfish you are the definition of Chaotic Good.
Bond is Scottish
Tea is English
Makes sense he doesn't like it
Tea came from India.
Your preposition being that being Scottish and liking Tea are mutually exclusive? Also as someone else pointed out, tea originates from India or China.
Doesn’t matter where tea comes from it’s just dirty piss water
@@whitedreadz777 say that to a English person and see what happens
Origami Fish oi mate, you may not like it, but having a proper builders brew with your mum is possibly the most comforting thing in the world
Personally, I drink my tea with a little honey.
Given that Bond's father was Scottish, his mother Swiss, and he spent his childhood (prior to their death) in Scotland and was born in either Switzerland and/or Germany - how exactly is he English? British, yes - but definitely not English.
You're not wrong, but two things worth considering: 1) Most of the films, which are how most people know 007, show him with a distinctly English accent. 2) Many people annoyingly do not recognise the differences between Britain and England anyway... Even in England. The Queen of England isn't a thing that exists and yet that's how Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is often thought of. It's just convenience, but it's at the cost of clarity and accuracy.
Ramble ramble ramble.
Old man yells at cloud.
@@ost2life To counter: 1) The video clearly states that they are referring to the books - rather than the films. Read the books and I'm sure you'll see that everything I wrote is accurate. 2) Your second point doesn't impact the validity of my statement. Just because other people don't understand nations & nationalism doesn't make my statement erroneous. Good try though.
Iain Hunter those books were retcons to explain Connery sounding slightly Scottish. Bond is an Eton educated upper class Brit (hence the RP accent). In the original novels written before the films came out Bond shared many of Fleming’s own characteristics (his personality and way of speaking. Read casino Royale and then watch Fleming speak and you’ll see how Bond was imagined).
The tea James Bond had to drink was at a health spa and was made from some crap that didn't have caffeine, In there opinion It was a healthy option. But tasted like crap.
I like my tea overly fussy. Loose leaf oolong, 150°F water, 3 minutes steep. At least when I only want a single cup. Otherwise it's the same tea, but a larger quantity of leaves, 165° water for 35 seconds.
But it really is down to what you like. I'm willing to suffer the inconvenience of that preparation method and the expense because it's what I like.
Bond's not English. He's Scottish.
You could have gotten away with calling him British. But he's not English.
I thought British and English were synonymous? Please educate me.
Dakota Jones British means your from anywhere on the island of Britain. Britain being made up of Wales, England and Scotland. Most of them aren't interchangeable. Whilst you could call anyone from those three countries British, we all tend to get a bit annoyed if we're all referred to as English.
@@dueltaylor Thanks for the clarification. I can kind of understand that from my experience with state pride and while nouns exist for natives of each state, they're not often utilized. Not sure why other than superseding national pride and the fact they they just sound weird.
As far as our schools are concerned Britain, England, and United Kingdom are synonymous. (at least up to 9th grade)
I learned something today. :)
Dakota Jones no problem
Actually he's German as he was born in Wattenscheid a town in Germany and other books say Berlin so James Bond is German technically.
Probably because tea is stirred.
But,, isn't coffee more like mud? I love both but like, coffee grounds look like mud more than tea does
Mr. T: I pitty the fool that doesn't like Tea!
xanxusprimo702 not funny but ok
At least I now know someone hates tea as much as me
12:00 there really should be a law that allows servers to punch the daylights out of anyone who mistreats them like this.
Where I worked, he would of been asked to leave for putting his hands on a server
I liked the video at 14:43
What a fucking boss line.
1. If there is one thing Britain is known for, it's a *weak* cup of tea.
2. I am a bond fan and never knew he was supposed to be a Brit.
How can you be a Bond fan and not realize he's a Brit?
"Refined tastes" from the man who popularised the vodka Martini because he couldn't tell the difference between cheap and expensive gin. Got to love how much of a pillock Fleming was
Sean Beane has forced himself into the quintessential Englishman club.
I find it funny how James Bond is the most famous englishman and hes scottish
That story of the coffee is class 😂😂😂👍
James Bond V.S Mr. T.
I like my Tea double strong with one sugar. I sometimes like it with orange juice.
If any bad customer had done what they’ve done to me anywhere but at work, I would’ve dismissed them with a cold sarcastic remark. But you have to show an ungodly amount of friendliness while being paid minimum wage. Really sucks because there are some people I had the legal right to slap.
pre-k kids: abcdefghijklmnopqrs
007: walks in
pre-k kids: t
007: *shoots up school*
Didn't Ian Fleming make Bond Scottish after he saw Sean Connery's performance?
Milk in tea is just gross to me.
Coffee is often referred to as "mud"
Epic t shirt Karl! Nice one man!
it's like an African American liking 80s rock band music over hip hop, a white man hating cheese, a Asian hating noodles and rice balls
Yup aint surprised by that retail story
Great Britain now: quaint and humble land...
Great Britain form 16th to 18th centuries: GIVE US YOUR LAND... NO... OK.......BOOMBABOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM (cannons)
He's Scottish
James Bond's attitude toward tea is about the same as my attitude toward James Bond, the most overrated fictional character of the modern era. Bond is pretentious and creepy, and he's not even half competent as an assassin. Without plot armor, he'd never survive a single one of his novels or movies.
Honestly i think he hates it cause he keeped getting drugged in training with his evening tea
Are you sure its him telling her to f off... a cup of mud is a term used in the US for Coffee. specifically Very strong coffee
All I can see now is Karls mug haha
I was a server for 6 years at a high end restaurant we were always told once a Plate was empty we were to clear it from the table. One night there was an older gentleman with his family he had finished before them so I went to take his plate from the table, He proceeds to stab me in the hand with his steak knife and said u will wait until The entire table is finished before you clear the plates!! I have one child and a wife to support so I couldn't just break this guy's jaw and lose my job. So I slowly and carefully put his plate back getting as much of my blood as I could on the plate and the table and in his drink, then went back to the kitchen said I wasnt going to finish waiting on this prick had the manager finish the service. And after they left the daughter came back and gave me a very large tip and apologised profusely for her dad. So it wasn't all bad but I did end up with like 4 stitches and a story to tell.
Hate that about the food industry. People can be absolutely vile to you and in any normal circumstance, you’d have the right to punch them in the face. But while being paid a pathetic wage, the worst you can do is be mildly passive aggressive.
@@thecheck968
I was being paid 2.85 an hour plus tips in a small town in p.a when this happened most people are super nice and Act like a normal human being but every now and again you would just get someone that Considered them self "better then everyone and High societee compared to everone else." It had to b 1 of the worst places I've ever been employed at.
I've happened as a customer to be not treated well in an establishment, I just finish what I was doing, paid, thank you and leave and never come back, but never retaliates, it's not worth it.
You will not want to fight with who serves your table, if fighting, eventually you may happen to have things like saliva or even pubic hair in your meal if you do not treat those who are serving you well.
and some customers are just jackass...
I used to work in fast food so there’s plenty of time for customers to be rude after you’re done helping them. This one couple seemed kinda nice so I out extra whipped cream on their shake, gave them fresher fries, all that jazz. When I went to take my break they were being really inappropriate with me so if I had the chance to redo it all, I would’ve punctured his cup so that some extra thin shake would slowly start leaking all over them. (Considering the crap cups, I would’ve easily gotten away with it)
@@thecheck968 dont mess with who make u food, even the food no is good XD
If he hates even the letter, Bond's favourite drink is ruined. 😝
Oh yeah In Time was a real nice film
When I think of Britain I think of Aston Martin
He's right you know. Introducing tea into this country is top 10 worst thing the Brits did.
Wow, can’t believe That coffee story! 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤡🤡🤡🤡🌍🌍🌍🌍🌍
If it wasn’t written by Ian Fleming it doesn’t count. Zero Minus Ten certainly wasn’t. I’ve been disappointed by every authorized or unauthorized continuation of a famous character in new novels (even Kingsley Amis’ version of Bond in Colonel Sun)...
I’ve read all of the Fleming books and I don’t recall Bond’s extreme dislike of tea. But it’s been many years.
i love karls mug
I think Danger Mouse.
