Catering and retail workers share the best and smallest revenge they have had on rude customers, from dusting them off to changing their espresso to decaffeinated coffee.
TikTok user Darron Cardosa posed the question on the app this weekend and asked other users, “What have you done with a customer after he was rude to you?”
Dozens have responded, revealing the petty and ridiculous ways they have bothered customers who could have been more police.

Share time! TikTok user Darron Cardosa asked other users, “What did you do with a customer after he was rude to you?”
While some stories reveal crimes that can be fired, others could never reasonably blame the employee.
Darron, for example, never did anything wrong technically – he just made his customers ’experience a little less enjoyable than it could have been.
“As a server, sometimes when rude customers ask for butter, I give them cold butter, even though I have butter at room temperature, because I know the cold butter will rip the bread out,” he revealed.
Ebony Mallinson, for her part, confessed: “I mix the smoothies a little, so that the small pieces block the straws.”
McKenzie Morrison had a similar petty tactic, which customers didn’t even notice, but at least it made McKenzie feel better.
“As a charcuterie worker, when a customer is Karen, I’ll lift the cheese together after cutting it, so it’s impossible to separate it later,” she said.

Feel better? People respond with petty revenge stories that are harmless

Responsibility: Another woman reported a police officer who refused to wear a mask to his store
“I work at a grocery store,” a woman named Rachael Hendrick said in her video. “When rude customers don’t wear a mask, I’ll spray fart spray in the hallway.”
User @bree_ann_uhh, meanwhile, said she and her fellow servers opted for reality.
“Call all servers,” he wrote. “For rude customers, we pick up dust, especially if it’s busy and loud and the music works and they definitely won’t listen to you. We pick up dust.
Canadian hotelier Helena Handbasket said: “For rude customers, I reserve the seat of the plane on a 10-hour flight next to the bathroom.”
A TikToker named Sammie not only took revenge for the rudeness, but held a police officer responsible.
“A policeman came into my store without any mask on his uniform,” he said. I said, “Sir, the next time you come in, I need you to put on a mask.” He sees me dead in his eyes and said, “I have a medical condition. What are you going to do about it?”
I looked at their badge and then called the police department and told them. Since then, every time he enters, he wears a mask. Every time.’

“For rude customers, we pick up dust, especially if it’s busy and loud and the music works and they definitely won’t listen to you. We pick up dust,” one user said.
Some of the behaviors, however, would probably have caused problems for employees if their bosses had learned from them.
Stephanie Crnkovich said that when she worked as a barista, she would give rude customers espresso without coffee instead of regular.
Geza, Daniel Molnar, said that while working at a hotel, he came across guests who arrived late and did not tip him when he helped with his luggage.
“So I called them on the phone at midnight,” he said.
User Chelsea Dickinson spilled his diabolical trick and revealed, “I used to charge them double, so they had to wait on the customer service line to get a refund.”
And user @ heather.blr did something similar at the grocery store where he worked,
“There were a lot of rude customers – I even had people throwing food at me and laughing at it,” he said.

It deserves! Perhaps one of the best revenge stories was that of Javier Sanchez, who in the late 1990s worked for a cable company and dealt over the phone with a racist client.
I had to manually call everything. Basically, if they were rude to me, if it was 99 cents, it would look like $ 2.99 to me. Receipts were so long that they were not checked. I ended up charging them between 30 and 40 dollars more, just for being rude. ”

“There was a fight with Oscar De La Hoya that night,” he said. “One customer called saying he ordered all this food and he had all these people watching the pay-per-view fight, but it didn’t work.
“So I finally fix it. I hear the whole party cheering. The man on the phone says, ‘Thank you!’ What do you say? ”And I said,“ Javier. ”He says,“ Thank you, ”and then he tells me a racial insanity and hangs up.
“So I turn off the fight on his TV and leave notes so other employees don’t turn it back on. The next day I see he’d been calling all night to get the fight back and no one had turned it on. I win.”
