Customer #1: "Excuse me, this is ridiculous. There are too many people outside."
Me: "Yes, ma'am. [Main Street] is the busiest spot in the city right now."
Customer #2: "Well, they’re loitering right in front of us! Look at them, just standing there while we’re trying to eat. It's very off-putting."

The background on my phone is an attractive TV character. I was with a coworker when she noticed the picture. Of note, [Coworker] is a die-hard Christian and often toes the line between free speech and an HR violation.
Coworker: "That’s not your husband."

After many installations, our whole office knows the timing and how to file in all the papers to make the process go smoothly, and we make sure to explain the timeline to all the customers.
All of them understand, except [Smarty Pants]. When I explain the process and the timeline, he doesn't buy it.

Enter [New Hire]. Three days after he's hired, he comes into the break room and sees [Coworker #1] munching on his third nugget and sipping at his shake. Without a word to ANYONE - and before any of us can realize what's happening - he grabs the nugget box and fry cup, walks over to the nearest garbage can, and UPENDS THEM BOTH.

Then a black Range Rover came screaming up in the left lane at WAY over the speed limit, much faster than the Charger was going. It slammed on the brakes, parked itself maybe a foot behind the Charger's rear bumper, then laid on the horn.

Customer: "What's good?"
I hate this open question because we have twenty-four base smoothies, plus about a dozen "boosts" you can add that enhance flavors or add extra health benefits.
Me: "Well, did you want any specific flavor range? Sweet? Tart? Creamy? Fruity?"
Customer: "All seems a bit green and hippie to me. What are those boost things?"

Among my duties around the office at a former job, I helped to streamline the various spreadsheets that are used by different departments. Most of them really should have been converted into proper databases, but that was an 'unnecessary complication', so I had to make do with what the bosses would sign off on.

Customer: "Look at what you did to my necklace! You were supposed to fix it, but you made it worse! You need to fix it, and I want my money back!"
Me: "We did fix it. It was in one piece when it left the store last time. You were even wearing it. What happened?"
Customer: "You gave it to me like this! You dirty thieves thought I wouldn't notice! You probably think I'm stupid!"

Me: "I was told you are accusing my sales rep of forging your signature on the renewal?"
Client: "Yes, I never agreed to pay that much. I never would have. I told him to give me a discount, and I wanted to see it in writing before I signed."

The store is closed with a capital 'C'. The lights are off, the music has stopped, the back areas have been roped off, and the doors are locked.
Me: "Hey, [Coworker], I think there's a customer back there still."
Coworker: *Squinting.* "Oh my God! You're right! He's shopping using his phone's flashlight! He didn't get the hint!"

I work in a baby supply store. A customer is talking to me, but has a crying baby in their stroller. She gives the baby a bottle of brown liquid.
Me: "What’s that?"
Customer: "Oh, it’s Coke."

We're in a meeting discussing some project work.
Coworker: "I finished [piece of work], but my team did a lot of the legwork, so I'll be modest and give them some of the credit."

I work in a stationery store. A customer comes over with a packing tape dispenser from our packing products section.
Customer: "I need this, but for left-handed people."
Me: "Could you repeat that?"
