Troubled by customers?

For those of you who have worked in sales, restaurants, etc. Have you ever experienced annoying, creepy, or amusing customers? As a 16 year old girl, my only experience in working is in a shop called, Tim Hortons (The canadian version of Dunkin Donuts--if I might say) I've had a lot of amusing customers. There was once a time when a man walked it. I figured that he's in his mid-twenties, he has good built, tall, blonde hair and blue eyes. Doesn't that just scream "GOOD LOOKING"? And get this, he's also dressed as a sailor. AS A SAILOR! He's like the epitome of every woman's dream man! So, like I said, Mr. Gorgeous walks in and asks for a timbit (a munchkin in Dunkin donuts). I asked, "Is that all?" He said, "Yes, that's all. And I would like a receipt for that please" And I wondered why he walked in, dressed as a sailor, and ONLY ordering a timbit like it would hurt his wallet to order at least 10 of them. And he wants a receipt for a 15 cent timbit! He noticed that I was looking at him weirdly--not leeringly, but like he just sprouted two heads--and he said, "It's for this scavenger hunt we're doing." HAHA! I guess that explains everything. So Mr. Gorgeous paid his 15 cents and walked out with his timbit. Share your stories ^^;; I'd love to read them :D

LOL - I've always wondered what a Tim Horton's was! I've never been to one, so it's interesting to know that it is similar to Dunkin' Donuts. (I always thought Tim Horton's was more of a soup and sandwich place?) I was once a traveling salesman, making calls on people who had returned a request for more information card. I visited at one home with a lady who kept me at their home for hours, telling e all sorts of weird stories about her husband... and then the husband came home and said that they weren't interested in buying. Go figure! I like your story better... Thanks for the discussion (and welcome to myLot!)

LOL yeah... The only difference between Tim Hortons and DD is that they have the soup and sandwhich. And DD's donuts are WAAAAAAYYY better haha WOW! Must be horrible to stay there for a long time and then have them tell you that they're not interested. ^^;; Thanks for the welcome :D
