15 Types of Customers That Make Service Providers Tic Not In One Eye, But Both

In the comedy No News from God, Penélope Cruz’s character works as a waitress in a bar with an endless flow of customers. This is how the filmmakers portrayed one of the “circles of hell”. Admit it, working in customer service can be challenging.

We, from awesome.club, we identified the most difficult types of customers. After a short conversation with them, sometimes you need a good dose of valerian. But we are all human and at different times in life we ​​all experience these roles. Let’s see if in our strips you will recognize someone, or maybe yourself. Check out!

Is dissatisfied with everything from the beginning. Will threaten you with complaints and dismissal. It is better to avoid direct confrontation with him and communicate rationally.

There is a type of customer who always needs everything done yesterday. It gets worse when the employee doesn’t even sleep to finish the job on time, but, in the end, the customer “doesn’t need it anymore”. Or you end up discovering that there are still a few days until the deadline. Those who suffer the most from this type of client are designers, copywriters and advertising professionals.

This type of customer does not know what they need. The classic: “Do you have one like this, but with mother-of-pearl buttons?” will send any salesperson into hysterics.

His catchphrase, even if not spoken aloud, is: “I know what’s best”. They are customers who always teach a specialist how the service should be done and then complain that they are not satisfied with the result.

This client, in turn, wants to stand out from the “gray mass” and not be like everyone else. For example, he asks in cafes and restaurants to cook dishes according to strange recipes and then, of course, he is unhappy.

The rule of good manners is not to be late, that is, not to steal someone else’s time. However, those who arrive late at school are always the last to run to the classroom. And nothing changes with age: these people can manage to be late for their own wedding and even their own funeral. At best, they arrive with a slight delay to the doctor or hairdresser.

These people are friendly, but there’s a little problem: if they start talking, they’ll tell you their entire biography and probably won’t even buy anything. They are often found in the queues of pharmacies and markets.

They believe that “grain by grain, the chicken fills the crop” and sincerely do not understand why they would leave the tip for “these parasites”. Also, they will criticize those who demand more money than necessary.

This client believes that service providers are a kind of free psychologists and consultants. Usually, those who suffer twice as much with these clients are realtors and travel agents. If there are no clean towels in the hotel room, for example, he won’t call the front desk, but the travel agent, even if it’s 1 am.

Some service providers receive commission money, for example realtors. And it’s unfortunate when they have to accompany a client on apartment visits for weeks, offer countless options and out of nowhere he changes his mind.

Just like anyone else, introverts shop from time to time, but they tend to keep their distance from sellers (and people in general) and many are sure that everyone will impose something unnecessary or shoddy on them. This type of customer enters the store already pretending not to see the employees, and often leaves empty-handed, if he himself has not chosen anything, and even if the desired item is in stock.

In public places, these customers often shine with their “occult erudition”, always trying to order foie gras in the cafeteria and a cup of freshly ground espresso coffee in a corner cafeteria.

Some people think it’s okay to be late paying something. Furthermore, many of them can even be considered rich, and this is the most surprising thing. Repairmen and carpenters suffer three times from this type of customer.

This type of customer will not miss any promotions. He can buy food that he doesn’t even eat much just because it’s on sale. You will ask for an additional discount on your purchase, even if it is already included. He also tends to constantly borrow discount cards from others, even if it’s about time he got his own card.

The main purchase criterion for them is price, but not quality. They carelessly chase discounts in beauty salons and do not understand why an hour with an experienced professional costs a lot of money. They always ask for discounts and, in the end, complain to their friends about a bad, shoddy haircut or manicure.
