Real Life Customer Service Stories That Turned Into Total Nightmares

Terribly Impractical Language Skills

I worked at a drug store in high school. I had a German couple check out at my register, and they were incredibly rude. They were complaining in German about the customers behind them in line, using vulgar language and whatnot.

Apparently, I wasn’t moving fast enough for their liking, and the woman called me a name in German. But she didn’t know one thing. She was obviously not aware that that was the terribly impractical language that I took in high school.

When I finished their order, I stared her in the eye and said thank you in her native tongue, and they both looked shocked and embarrassed. It felt good, man.
