MODERATORS

People who work in food service or customer service: What’s the dumbest thing a customer ever insisted was “the law” or “illegal”? (discuss.tchncs.de)

Brought to you by my discovery that some people think that “the customer is always right” isn’t the slogan of a long-dead department store, but rather it’s an actual call the cops law.

"Actually, in the terms of service you signed with DirecTV, your NFL Sunday Ticket was set to auto renew after the first free year.

Also.

We've billed you for it for two months, and is now past the point where we can remove it. You have 5 additional payments.

This is in fact also not illegal apparently. Since it's in the terms of service.

If you'd like to sue DirecTV please have your lawyer contact our TEAM of lawyers and we'll be happy to address it."

Worked that soul sucking job for five long years while going to college. Sucked.
