From melted hot sauce to hotter employees, the Planet Dolan crew re-enacts some of the
best true stories from our subreddit about the most ridiculous suggestions people ever
heard from customers.
I’m Hellbent, and today I’ll be your narrator.
Number 10 was Submitted by FrenchFries11232 GhostToast
GhostToast was working one day when he overheard a customer say, "You need a bigger shop.”
GhostToast didn’t think that was anything strange, until the customer followed up with,
“and by the way, stop putting rats in the shampoo."
Number 9 was Submitted by MrTalkingMachine Cid
Cid was working as a TV repairman when he got called to check an old that was having
issues.
Cid checked it out, ran some tests, and even asked other repairmen with more experience
about the unusual problem.
He learned that a part called the “Flyback Transformer” had failed for good.
Unfortunately, the “Flyback Transformer” is a vital part which has to be the exact
same model, and it’s a rare part.
So with the set being discontinued for 15 years, it was pretty much impossible to find
that part and fix it.
Cid told the people all of this, and told them the set was done for.
But they kept asking Cid to come later and just keep trying to fix their 15-year-old
TV with discontinued parts.
Eventually Cid had to just walk away.
Number 8 was Submitted by din365 Froggy Froggy once saw a customer get angry about
parking spots.
The customer demanded to Froggy’s boss that the staff park away from the building.
The employee parking spots were on the west end of the building, while the doors to go
into the building were on the north side.
The north side had a big row of empty parking spaces they could use with a much shorter
walk to the front doors, but for some reason they wanted the west end parking spots.
Froggy’s boss gave in to the demand, forcing all employees to park in the back of the lot
on an incline, which is dangerous in the winter.
All this, so that one customer could park in one spot.
A few months later, the customer started parking on the north end anyways, so the employees
pretty much got shafted for no reason.
Number 7 was Submitted by Chief_the_chef Civil Spider
Civil Spider once got a weird request that turned out to be a huge success.
He worked at a pizza place as waiter when a family came in to celebrate their kid’s
birthday.
Since his kid was a Pokemon fan, he wanted a Pokeball pizza, but Civil Spider didn’t
know what that was.
The father told Civil Spider to put pepperoni on one half and white cheese on the other,
with goat cheese in the middle and black olives for the lines.
The family loved it, and other customers heard about the idea so they started asking for
the same.
Thanks to that kid, now Poke pizza is now a regular menu item every July.
Number 6 was Submitted by Verminnesotanboio Doopie
Back when Blockbuster was still open, Doopie would go there with her mom and sister.
They knew the stores were closing, and wanted to visit them while they still could, just
because.
One time, Doopie wanted to rent The Simpsons Movie on DVD.
While they were discussing it, a random customer came up to her and said, "Why don't you rent
this?"
The customer was holding up a sign that said, 'RENT IT TOMORROW.'
Number 5 was Submitted by Mote-of-Lobross MKyleM
MKyleM worked at a call center that sold dietary supplements and health products.
One day, he had this guy on the phone who wanted to know if they had any products to
help older guys "down there."
MKyleM wasn’t clear at first and asked for clarification.
The man cleared his throat, and said, "Something that can help with... er... male virility."
MKyleM had to hit the mute button to snicker, before saying they didn’t carry products
like that.
The guy said "Well, you should," and hung up.
Number 4 was Submitted by Junkyman456 Emojie Emojie used to work at a store called Flippys.
One day, a customer said that the employees should be hotter looking, because all the
other employees looked ugly.
The employee she said this to just stared at her and asked her to please order her stuff
on the counter or leave.
The woman refused and started screaming so everyone in the store could hear her.
The manager came and kicked the woman out, but not before she flicked off the employees,
saying, “There better be more hot employees you bitch!”
Number 3 was Submitted by MikeNight666 Nixxiom When Nixxiom worked at the deli counter in
a grocery store, a customer demanded that every slice of meat, or cheese, or anything
else be separated by a piece of deli paper.
Then they proceeded to order 3 pounds of super thin cut ham.
It was well over 100 slices of meat and they wanted Nixxiom to put paper between every
single slice.
Number 2 was Submitted by SuperDaikenki Melissa When Melissa was about 14, her grandmother
picked her up from school to go to this seafood restaurant.
A few minutes after they placed an order, a woman stormed into the restaurant and started
yelling at the cashier.
She was saying that her hot sauce had melted and she wanted a refund.
Everyone in the restaurant just stared at her like she was on drugs or something.
She showed the cashier the tiny cup of hot sauce, and there was NOTHING wrong with it.
She started complaining that the restaurant was bad because every time she got hot sauce
in her order, it was “melted.”
Melissa and her grandmother got their order and got the hell out of there before it escalated
any further.
Number 1 – What’s the craziest suggestion a customer ever had
for me?
