31 of the Best Times Service Workers Clapped Back at Rude Customers

The moment someone becomes a customer, they morph into the worst version of themselves. Despite this, some businesses maintain that the customer is always right, while anyone with a background in the service industry knows that this simply cannot be true. It’s why workers eventually reach a point where they have no choice but to fight back. One such server received a one-dollar tip on an $80 check. Instead of accepting it, she chased the customer into the parking lot and gave them their dollar back, saying, “You obviously need this more than I do.” She received a three-day suspension for her remark, but the satisfaction of speaking her mind was probably worth it. 

Other Redditors have recalled the rude customers they didn’t back down from, and if you’re in need of more comebacks to add to your repertoire, look no further.
