Not working at a FS, but...
I was working a jaguars game at a concession stand and I had an order for a popcorn.
So I make the popcorn and I stand near the counter, yelling 'LARGE POPCORN' for literally 3 minutes. Then some guy LEANING on the counter right in front of me, staring akwardly into space, suddenly comes to life and starts yelling at me "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING, GIMME MY POPCORN YOU DUMB B*TCH"
Yes, I know alcohol was allowed at this game, but this guy definitely wasn't drunk. And here I am, a 15 year old kid at the time. I wanted to throw the popcorn in his face, throw him on the counter and knock all of the cash registers(8) off of the counter with his nose.
So here he is, looking at me like I just suggested that Nazi Germany was coming back and im the new Hitler. Keep in mind, I really just wanna deck this dude. so I go to hand him the popcorn(by now everyone is staring at me to see what im going to do) he grabs it, but i hold on and look at the a*swipe like I'm going to kill him, then I smile really big and say "have a nice day"
People make me want to throw up every meal I've eaten in my whole life

I've got a few. I work at a clothing store that's rather popular and always busy. These stories happened over labor day weekend.
Ok, the first one: I'm the only cashier at the wrap, I have a huge, long line and I'm working really hard to get everyone checked out as soon as possible while trying desperately to get myself some back up. This lady bypasses the line, comes up to me and says "Can you help me with sandals?"
I kind of stare at her in disbelief for a second and motion to my line, then I say,"I can't help you with sandals, but X is right over there folding jeans, he can help you."
The stupid woman goes "Oh." Instead of walking up to X, she just stands where she is and asks if he can help her, except she does it at a regular volume, and he's halfway across the store. Seeing that she's too stupid to help herself, I call X over for her by yelling because that's all I can do, and he goes over to the sandals while Mrs. Dumbass and her children mill about in front of the register. I get annoyed and say "Look, X is over at the sandals, but if you don't go over there soon, he isn't going to know who he's supposed to help."
Second one: A lot of our little boy's clothes were 40% off over the holiday weekend. This one guy picks out some shorts, not all of which are 40% and comes up to the register. Transaction starts as usual, he and his wife seem nice. I get to the shorts that are not on sale, I politely inform him that the shorts are not on sale, and he starts to get upset. I try to explain that if there is a sign in the area of the shorts that I'd be willing to inspect the sign and if the sign is confusing, I'd give him the sale price. He doesn't let me, he just yells "The sign is right over there!"
So, I tell him to come with me, I show him exactly why the shorts aren't included in the sale (sign says denim shorts 40% off, regular price 12.50- 14.50, his are khakis and regularly priced at 16.50). He kind of backs down and says "Well, you can see our confusion." I tell him "Yes, sir, I can see where you'd be confused, that's why I'm willing to give you these shorts at the 40% off price, but there's no reason to get rude. I felt it was very rude of you to yell at me." He said he was sorry and didn't mean to sound that way. I can tell you I was probably white, or red, I was shaking with the effort it took to control myself, and I must have looked as angry as I was. I almost jumped over the counter and murdered him.
Last one: Japanese reseller comes in. He's here every few months, and he always asks for me because I speak a tiny bit of Japanese and I guess that makes it easier for him. Our regular conversation is usually "Kore wa sale-u?" Me: "Iie, gomen." or "Hai, sugoi, desu ne?"
Eventually he gets talking to me as if I'm fluent, when I already told him I only know a little, and all I can tell him is "Wakarimasen" (don't understand). He gets super angry and in English insinuates that I DO know what he's saying and I'm just trying to force him to speak English. On his first visit, I told him about my cousins from Kobe, and I asked if he was from the country, because he spoke in a similar accent. He automatically assumed that since I have Japanese family that I speak Japanese because it's genetic.
Funny thing is after I told him I was almost all white, he apologized and said "Oh, no wonder you can't speak any Japanese." I just let it go. When he left I told him　”さようなら!" and he just made a weird face like "damn..."

We had a guy in who has just setup a 3x2x2 and wanted to take a 16" RTC and a 10" Perruno for we were explaining how big they get and they tank theyd need and he was like ' oh it will stunt' and im like yeah if it gets to 2 foot it cant move. Wabker.
Woa I was pretty disturbed today in one of the my friend's forum! Its not a fish forum (and its all in french), its just a place mainly for us to keep in contact when we are no longer in the same city (or just to damn lazy to phone... 
), but of course there are many other people on there, AND a little fish section! 
Well there is this new "I know it all" guy that posted many replies today on planted tanks ect... At first all seemed great and he truly seems knowledgeable about keeping aquatic plants and making a nice display... but seems to be lacking on the fish knowledge!
One of my friend has a 50L aquarium (50 litre is a little less than 15 gallon) and was asking for advice. Well the guy told him he could put 50 cardinal tetras in there with like 3 cory catfish....... 
a few people told him "dude you can't be serious... or you misread 50L for 500L, but mr know-it-all kept on arguing to everyone that he MEANT 50 cardinals in a 50L tank and that there was no problem whatsoever! 
When we tried to argue he was like (in french) "do you even know what cardinals are? 
" suggesting that we had no clue what we were talking about! 
Weeeeeeelll I doubt HE knows what they are! 
Lol! Well I guess its true you can physically FIT them in there! LOL! If he actually tried this he must think that these fish have an average life-span of 3 days!

Im 17 and have worked two jobs since I was 15 I worked at a cavern as a tour guide and an electronic salesman at your typcal corporate chain.... When I worked at the cave I loved how many people would call in to the cave and asked "uhh did you guys move locations?" lol think about it....At the office supplies store this guy came in cussing at me claiming I sold him a busted mouse...well I took it to one of our computers and tried it out, it didnt work..so i thought to myself "surely this guy wouldnt do this" I opened the mouse and he put the batteries in backwards!!!! lol he finally left reluctantly saying that it couldnt have been the problem haha what an idiot I dont have enough time in the day to type all of my stories haha
retards are hard to deal with but what you gonna do? you love the hobby so you won't quit,............. just deal with it and educate who you can.
We had a guy in who said ' Do you have any Perrun nose cats (its perruno) in at that big (with his hands about 9"+) i wnat one my old one died. I had him in a 3x2 for a few months he was like 2 foot and i would pull his wiskars hard so hed come up and id pour goldfish in his mouth.'
Then i said ive got two at 6" i need to sell one , he said ' ill give you £20 now if you bring it in' I said no he goes your mean and not worth my time' i said im no work experience kid, ive got a tropical pond thats a good sizes tank.' why would i sell him fish for a tank that size.

Ha, not a fish story but strange nevertheless!
I used to works at a tourist info boot in Canada as a summer job ( it was more than a normal tourist info center, it was in the middle of the woods with hiking trails for tourists, waterfalls to visite, and many various interpretation centers which all employees had to rotate to during the day and work there).
So we had A LOT of tourists come there just for the trails and everyone wanted to go hiking. Well there was this lady that came in one hot summer day, and she had like 20inches heels or something on her (fragile looking) exagerated fancy looking shoes, with a clean mini-skirt, sunglasses on top of her head and the little scarf arond her neck (clearly did not look like a typical tourist). She wanted to go on the hike... (cough), so we kindly AND patiently explain to her that she would need better shoes, and that the 200 step old-wooden staircase going down the waterfall is not going to be high-heel friendly...
Well she gets pretty upset and argues that we are being rude to her and heads off fer the trail with her husband dressed in a neat fancy way and that gives us a mean and insulted look on his way out.
Like, 3hours later, the couple comes back in our building, clearly not happy, and the woman is holding a fancy shoe in one hand with a very broken heel on the other! (her skirt is a little dirty too ), and then they like come up to us and start complaining that they should sue us and that our staircase is dangerous and that there should be a warning sign (there is one actually! ) and that this is not a place safe enough for people and that we will all get sued for our incompetancy and blablabla.....
Once they were out the building, the employees we were all laughing our guts out and rolling on the floor!There were other tourists there, that witnessed the scene, and they were all laughing as well!

The car, the stamps, the lamp, the whatever you buy you are free to do whatever you wish with them. It sucks if you don't buy the right thing, and its sucks even more if you don't know how it works, or if you break it soon after purchase... but the only one who will be paying in one way or another is YOU. I know nothing of cars! I am fully aware that when I will buy one I better bring someone that knows about them cause my own ignorance makes me vulnerable to being conned or making a bad purchase. Yes I could start studying cars to avoid getting in a bad situation, and my total lack of interest in cars makes me choose to not edacate myself about cars.
But see, this is MY bad, if I make a bad purchase, I AM the one that regrets it and I AM the one that has to live up with the consequences.
A live animal is entirely different, yes you can simply enter a store and buy a fish or cat like you would buy a lamp (because as humans we tend to think we own all that exists on the planet so it seems perfectly normal for us to do so) but it does not change the fact that they are LIVE creatures that (to some extent, but still) suffer, be happy, become sick, be happy. Ya a fish might not feel pain or other stuff the same way WE do, but how much of a paragon of perfection are WE to force our criterias upon all else and lessen in importance of all that is different than what WE experience and not fitting in OUR criterias? People are responsible for the well being of their animal, and not knowing how to care for it will only harm it and make it suffer! It is the ANIMAL that will suffer most in this case, not the buyer! A hamster cage is way more expensive than a hamster itself, but you can't possibly compare the two!
Its like if people would adopt kids without really knowing anything about kids to the point where they don't know how often or how much they need to feed them or change their clothes, and then not really bother to research on how to care for kids in anyway!
Its not the parents that will suffer the most out of this!
