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.

Ehhh, I think it's probably more likely that you can't discriminate on specific factors like age, religion, sex, skin colour, etc.

I just can't see "most places" having laws that force you to deal with any and all aholes in customer service. Could I have a source on that, please? I have never heard of that before.

Being legally required to not serve intoxicated people is pretty much the standard across Australian states and NZ.

I misunderstood based off of the first sentence of that comment. My mistake. I'm also pretty under the weather. I'll double check next time.

What are you asking for a source for? They didn't say that the law requires you to serve people.

They said the law requires that you NOT over-serve people.
