What little thing would you make illegal just because it pisses you off?

The customer is always right is the biggest mistake the business world ever made. If I walked into a business I frequent and demand I do my weekly shopping for free because I'm a good customer, that doesn't make me right. That makes me an a** for even asking such a thing.
Also just because someone works in the service industry doesn't mean that you, the customer, now have a slave. I'm not asking anyone to fawn (that's just disturbing).
And immediately asking for a discount will get you nothing. I don't know what the heck is wrong with people who demand this without so much as a "hello."

Oh man, I don't mean to laugh at the Dobermans expense but sheesh, what was he or she thinking?
Ever realize your dog has consumed a new years eve party blower and then spent the next two weeks nervously hovering over them in the yard, scoop in hand, half expecting sparkly colored turds and half expecting a cheerful "Pffaaahhhppfff!!!!" noise as they squat?
I hate confrontation and will avoid it at all costs, but once someone has been really rude for no reason at all...look out
I think we'd be good shopping buddies.Stores today were full of kids, ages 5-18, all looking either sad, depressed, worried, or screaming. Then I realized.
No, The symbol look like a hump on the back to the handicapped parking. Like a turtle. More like homemade handicap symbol.
I was a checker for a large grocery chain and they had the customer is always right philosophy and let me tell you, we were used and abused. There was a regular customer who got upset with a checker because she was going on break so another checker was relieving her. The woman reached over and SLAPPED the cashier. She SLAPPED the checker! Management moved in quickly and got the checker out and upstairs in the break room and another checker checked the woman out! I'm not kidding. Another checker got behind the check stand and scanned and bagged the woman's groceries. The cashier called her mother and the mom told her to call the police and make a report but management talked her out of it. They promised her the woman would be banned from the store. They lied. The woman kept coming in once or twice week walking around shopping like she owned the place. ( We did have hella good benefits, though.)
I went looking for chocolate and look what I found in my freezer?
No coconut, though.

so next on the illegal list would be weak kneed managers who can't stand up to people. i'd have had the cops there in a heartbeat if someone did that at my restaurant. i'm not afraid to stand up to someone who's acting ridiculous. more than once someone left thoroughly pissed off cause they weren't getting their way by stomping their feet and i just emailed my AD with the expected complaint and my side of the story to get ahead of them. the weak kneed thing works both ways too. the managers who are unwilling to get rid of terrible employees because they don't want to train someone new. the last store i worked at before i left the company, the 3rd or 4th week i was there i fired 4 people. the GM was more like me, but had 2 other managers who weren't really stepping up. two of these employees had been *hours* late for their shifts multiple times, both dishwashers. one of them was showing up hours late to work . . . because he was getting tattoos. they knew this. they didn't fire him. he did that crap to me only one time. #byefelicia
another one was a server who apparently hated his life, decided he hated our restaurant, and instead of doing what the normal person who hates their job does and quits, decided he would be the worst employee possible (but try to be sneaky about it, protip: if you're a lazy piece of crap at work that makes people's lives harder, your coworkers will rat you out in a hot minute) and basically dare us to fire him. don't threaten me with a good time my friend.
This is assault. Period. That employee should have filed a complaint against management and then sued the crap out of the grocery chain. Management did NOT protect their employee at all.
I agree. Totally agree.
That customer is horrible. End of story. And my guess is she was kind enough to procreate so there are lots of little Horrible Woman Jr.'s running all over who feel an inflated sense of entitlement.
That checker has my sympathy.
I like Zaxby's zalads, but they get my drive-thru order wrong about 80% of the time. I just recently started going there, and the first two times, no problems. Every time after, something is wrong with the order.
I always ask for no tomatoes; twice I've had to pick the red offenders off the zalad. So I started checking the order before driving away. No dressing another time (forgot to look under the zalad). One time, I ordered a drink with the zalad, and my son and I were engaged in conversation, and didn't realize until I pulled away that they hadn't given me the drink. No toast another time.
Today, I had spent four hours packing up stuff at my old house, trying to clean mold off of about 130 books. (I had said in another thread I thought I had about 40 moldy books--turned out to be a lot more.) I picked up my son, and decided I'd try a zandwich at Zaxby's today. I ordered the chicken zalad zandwich (no tomato). That's it. I was so exhausted, I didn't even care to check the order; my son offered to, but I said I didn't care. Twenty miles later, at home, I open up the little box and immediately thought, "Well, that's cool--there's bacon on my chicken zalad zandwich. I mean, a LOT of bacon." I lifted the lettuce and the bacon, and there was no chicken zalad anywhere to be found--just bacon and lettuce between two pieces of gigantic Texas toast.
I called the restaurant and told whoever answered what happened. "I got the bacon zandwich instead," I said. She said, "Ma'am we don't even have a bacon zandwich. I am so sorry that happened." She took my name and said for me to just bring in my receipt and they'd give me the right zandwich. So that was nice--she was immediately helpful and apologized, and was very polite to me.
I guess I won't try to make this little thing illegal...that bacon zandwich tasted pretty good--I hadn't had bacon in months.

Stephen King plot twist: "Ma'am, we don't even serve bacon."
Maybe they will give you a few more freebies since you drove so far. My local Zaxby's has a good track record for getting my order right. I order my salads without cheese so I am sure to double check. Like you with your anti-tomato policy I'm not a happy camper when there's cheese on my food.
I just looked at my receipt, and it says "1 BLT sandwich." I looked up their menu, and it's an "off menu" item, so I guess they just misunderstood me even though I said chicken salad. Twice.
Maybe you Zhould Ztop going there?
