In regards to me being an Atheist, the most laughable customer thus far came in the form of a religious nutter mother who was in the store with her husband and 2 kids. It was last December and we were staging a few days of free in-store Christmas craft activities for kids. (Ugh.) She was dressed almost like an Amish woman, and had her two plainly dressed kids sit down at my table and do the craft I was demoing. She ended up saying that they do not believe in the commercial side of the holiday. I asked if they just celebrated the religious side of it. She got nervously defensive and said yes, and explained what they do. She then said, "I just don't want you to think I'm an atheist or something!" If she only knew. If only you could've told her you thought she was one of them muslim folks because she was dressed all funny like... Yes. You know, it really sucks being in a situation where you HAVE to bite your tongue.

Back in 2004 I went to Embry-Riddle in Daytona I worked at the school Cafeteria in the Deli and off campus at Outback.
Deli people would come in order an sandwich and change everything on it.
Customer: Can I have and Aztec? Me: Sure C: Instead of Turkey can I have Roast beef? Me: Sure C: instead of swiss can I have Cheddar? Me: sure C: instead of whatever sauce can I have mustard? me: yep second time he did it I told him not to order from the menu but to just tell me what he wanted.
another time I was making a sandwich for some he sneezed I said gesundheit he looked down though about it and said "yes, I'll have that on my sandwich" I looked down smiled to myself and finished making it. The next guy without missing a beat came up and ordered a Gesundheit sandwich.
at Outback I was busing tables and a lady say the dragon and tiger chains I wore at the time and said "oh are those your pieces of flair?"

Not really the customer's fault, but still pretty stupid.
I used to work eveings in a telafloral call center. One night a lady calls up fuming mad. When I pulled up her order on the computer I saw that it was supposed to be for a funeral. What the florist delivered was not a funeral arrangement, but a get well arrangement, complete with "get well soon" balloon and bear. What kind of moron deliveres a "get well" item to a wake at a funeral home?

Gawd fucking dam nmit, I hate it when asshole customers take something out of the donut case, then decide they don't want it or want something else and so they leave the bag with the donut or roll sitting on the shelf somewhere. OR they put it BACK in the showcase. WTF!!! Just TAKE it; we can't sell it any more and you're making us lose money!! DIAF.

I'm a mammographer and I had a woman come in the other day who refused to take her shirt off for the exam. She didn't want to mess up her hair.

What the fuck? How did she expect to get the exam---telekinesis? And really, what's more important in the long run, nice hair or NOT dying of cancer?

Of course. Right. Silly me, thinking something so ridiculous like that! What the hell was I thinking? Hair always trumps not getting cancer!

I used to work the closing shift at a porn shop that had video booths in the back. More often than not, when emptying the trash cans for the booths, I'd find women's underwear when we hadn't had any lady customers go back there all day. And that was among the LEAST offensive things I would find in the trash.

Hair always trumps not getting cancer! Exactly! She then tried to just hoist her sweater up around her neck, telling me that "This will work just fine". Um, no. It really has to come all the way off or there will be fabric hanging over which will show up on the film. I also have patients who make fun of me for my job. "Is this all you do all day?" I had one woman say "Well, I guess it's better than scrubbing floors!" Do they really think it's a good idea to piss off the person in charge of their compression?

.....I demand to hear as many stories about this place as you have. It sounds like it'll be hilarious.
Good lord. I'm not old enough yet for a mammogram, but even I know better than to peeve the person in charge of the boob-squasher.
