1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: Have you ever been in the service industry? It's Brook

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 1: and Jeffrey in the morning.

3
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:08,799
Speaker 2: I worked at the burger place from in your hometown.

4
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, Jose worked at Subway for a while. I worked

5
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 1: at a bakery for almost three days. So I burned

6
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 1: my finger on a toaster oven and I quit right there.

7
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 1: I sure did. We absolutely brought the lawyers in so

8
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: that'll teach them to hire me. I bring it up

9
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,520
Speaker 1: because we've all been in that field of work.

10
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 3: But ye yourselfers don't burn it. It counts, it counts.

11
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 3: I bled for that job.

12
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 1: But in my struggle of the three days of work,

13
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 1: I learned that the hardest part of being in the

14
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: service industry could be the impossible customers that come in

15
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: asking for ridiculous stuff. And that's why a survey was

16
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: just done asking people for the dumbest things customers have

17
00:00:58,360 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: ever asked of them.

18
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 2: Okay, so this isn't just restaurant like I worked in

19
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 2: a grocery store.

20
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 3: I worked at a gas station, anywhere.

21
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 1: That people come in that need to be serviced. Let's

22
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,919
Speaker 1: get to the list. Number seven. A customer once wanted

23
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 1: a refund for incense that she purchased as well as

24
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: reimbursement for the curtain that she burned because we didn't

25
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:23,279
Speaker 1: specifically tell her not to lean a burning incense stick

26
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: up against fabric. What sense is it, though, Yeah, in

27
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: this country, that doesn't really exist. So I hate to

28
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 1: say that she has a point there, but legally I

29
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: kind of sided with the customer in the it's like.

30
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 3: The McDonald's boiling coffee lady.

31
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 1: Start somewhere.

32
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 3: Number six.

33
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: So I worked for the post office and had a

34
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: customer mid twenties ish come in and ask for a

35
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty dollars money order. Okay, I printed

36
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: it out. And this was in the old days, before

37
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: we had fancy equipment that requires the payment before printing.

38
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: So I gave him the total, and he looked at

39
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,279
Speaker 1: me in complete shock.

40
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 2: Oh that he would actually have to give.

41
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 3: I don't have any money.

42
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: That's why I'm ordering it.

43
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 3: Oh boy, buddy. If it was only that easy.

44
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,799
Speaker 1: Oh man, But the office they except I owe you

45
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: s still right.

46
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 3: I think it also costs.

47
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 2: Money though that it's a hard lesson when you figure

48
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 2: out things aren't free. Yeah.

49
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 3: No, my mom always took care of this.

50
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 2: She get the money for us.

51
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 3: Number five.

52
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: I had a woman at the table I was serving

53
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: order herself chips and salsa. Okay, that's normal, of course.

54
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: She then placed her main order and asked that one

55
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 1: of her tacos not have tomato in it because she

56
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 1: was allergic.

57
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 2: Ah.

58
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: I politely told her that she should stop eating that

59
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: salsa immediately if that was the case, and she looked

60
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: at me straight in the eyes and replied, no, they're blended,

61
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: so it's okay.

62
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, it would make it worse to peanuts, but not

63
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 2: peanut butter. You know that's a blended stuff.

64
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,679
Speaker 3: Pizza totally fine. Oh, we're going.

65
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,399
Speaker 1: Over a survey where people in the customer service industry

66
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: shared the dumbest things customers ever asked. Number four says

67
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: I was working at a Disney resort and a guest

68
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: asked what time they took the Epcot golf ball off

69
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 1: of its base and washed it in the lake in

70
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,959
Speaker 1: the World showcase. That's really funny.

71
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 3: I can see them doing that, I said.

72
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,839
Speaker 1: I told him that never happened because the golf ball

73
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: was actually a building that raised hundreds of tons. It

74
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: had a multi story attraction inside of it. It's actually

75
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: designed to be self cleaning from the frequent Central Florida rains.

76
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: He told me I was a liar and demanded to

77
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: know what time it happened because he wanted to go

78
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 1: see it.

79
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 3: Tourists are crazy.

80
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 2: My girlfriend worked in Yosemite National Park and she had

81
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 2: tourists ask her when they turned the waterfalls off. And

82
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 2: she also asked how much cement it took to make

83
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 2: half dome. Oh oh yeahsh a lot.

84
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: Yes, I mean the targe to measure that much cent.

85
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: But number three I worked at a bakery counter. One

86
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: person came in and asked for my recommendation. I said

87
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: the coconut cookies were really good, and she replied, oh no, no, no,

88
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:17,359
Speaker 1: nothing with nuts.

89
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:23,359
Speaker 2: Oh coconut Okay.

90
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 3: It could be a good joke. It is pretty good.

91
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,679
Speaker 1: Number two former travel agent here. I had a customer

92
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 1: who wanted to get married in Lapland, Finland.

93
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 3: Totally doable.

94
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: What wasn't so doable, however, is that she wanted to

95
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: arrive at the ceremony on a sleigh pulled by polar bears.

96
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: When I explained the whole Apex predator thing, she deadpan

97
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: asked me if I could arrange for a polar bear

98
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 1: that had been declawed and had its teeth corp.

99
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 3: Needless to say, she did not end up booking with me.

100
00:04:58,120 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 2: She found somebody that could do the job.

101
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

102
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: I do wish there was a bowl ober out there

103
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: with like dentures and a pedicure.

104
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 2: There's some pretty gruesome wedding pictures.

105
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 1: And the number one dumbest customer request from a recent

106
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: survey says I had a guy order a plane toasted

107
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: bagel at a coffee shop I worked at. He told

108
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 1: me he wanted it heavily toasted, so I made sure

109
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 1: it was nice and dark brown. Yeah, it wasn't good enough,

110
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: and he wanted me to toast it darker.

111
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 3: So I set the toaster to the highest.

112
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: Setting and cooked another bagel that came out nearly black.

113
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 3: Still wasn't good enough.

114
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 1: So I ran the third bagel through the toaster twice

115
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 1: on the highest setting. It literally caught on fire. I

116
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: brought him this charred, burnt husk of a bagel, and

117
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: he was finally happy. He walked away eating a chunk

118
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: of charcoal with cream cheese like it was the best

119
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: thing he's ever shoved into his face.

120
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 3: To this day, I still don't understand.

121
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 2: I would appreciate someone who would take my food down

122
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 2: to throw it out when I feelieve that's how Alexis

123
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,239
Speaker 2: eats are steak for some reason.

124
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 3: I t you is that type.

125
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 2: I'm not that bad, you know.

126
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: Those are the dumbest customer requests that people have ever

127
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: gotten texted to. Seventy five nine too, if you can

128
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: go dumber, because.

129
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 3: I know we can. Yeah, this is our audience.

130
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 2: Of course we can.

131
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 3: Your phone tap is coming up right after this
