20+ Retail workers whose customers got instant karma: 'Guy stole $60 headlights... and had to have his car towed'

When customers think they're entitled to perfect service every time they shop, it leaves retail workers rolling their eyes. There are few times in life where screaming at someone gets you what you want. This works if you are a baby or a toddler. This method performs less well when you're a 45-year-old man hollering at a poor teenage worker who's messed up your food order. 

These small moments when places mess up are certainly annoying, but the way some customers react is just dialed up to 11. One worker described a customer's tantrum as watching an "elderly baby," and that's exactly how a lot of these customers act. It's almost like they've been alive for 6 decades, yet have no idea how to interact with other people. 

Sometimes I wonder if newer generations will change the way that service workers are treated. After all, if you've been a waiter, fast-food worker, retail worker, or phone center worker, you know exactly how a not to talk to one of these people. Since the newer generations seem to work these minimum-wage jobs for a while, maybe there will be a shift in the attitude we sometimes see from cranky customers. I'm sure we'll still have them… but even having fewer customers who can only communicate by throwing a tantrum would be a huge improvement. 

Up next, read about a fast-food worker who got back at a police officer who made them late to work by pulling a petty stunt: "The officer… informs me that I will have to wait."
