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.

Does working as a security guard and having the company that contracted your company trying to get you to basically be their own personal police force count? I worked for a security company hired by Longs and the loss prevention manager of the Longs kept trying to get us to do things that, in California anyway, are illegal as a security guard. Such as digging through someone's personal belongings. We can ask to look inside, but not touch, and we really can't force them to comply. We could not arrest people. We couldn't have weapons (not even allowed to carry a pocket knife while on duty with our guard cards). Little Napoleonic complex motherfucker didn't care. He would insist that it was legal and we would just tell him to talk to our boss because he isn't our supervisor, manager or even part of our company.

"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.

Not exactly to the title but I was alone with a coworker and explaining my precancerous cells I was being checked up on and a customer walked up as I was explaining.

He said, "that sounds like bullshit and I would know because I have a PHD."

he was an idiot.

I work for an ISP and I've been told on several occasions by customers that it is illegal for us to see a customer's connected devices on the router that we supply and manage... Bro if you want to manage your own network, buy your own router and stop bothering me.
