I once had a lady ask if we could make this really expensive salad that isn't even on our menu and then get pissed off when I said we couldn't do that. Also had a guy complain to me about how our posters look, as if I was the head honcho of the marketing team and could do something about the colour scheme of our signs.
Ok so hear me out first ok. I was the customer.
My husband wanted me to call the local pawn shop and see if they had any electric guitars. This was back in my hometown in Texas. We knew they had acoustic guitars but didn't know if they had electric ones.
So I am sitting in my parents room with my mom and few inches from me and my youngest brother there as well.
I call the pawn shop and ask "Excuse me but do you happen to have any air guitars?" The person on the phone said "excuse me what kind?" I repeat " Do you have any air guitars?" They go quit for a second and so no than hangs up. I hang up (land line shut up I'm not that old) I say to my mom "wow they were rude." She and my brother bust out laughing. I say "WHAT IS SO FUNNY?"
My brother says "You dyslexic idiot you asked about AIR guitars not ELECTRIC guitars!"
*Slap hand to forehead*

Yeah I am a terrible at calling people lol
An older lady once told me her latte was "too milky" she asked me to remake it and I did with the EXACT same amount and she responded with "I knew you made it wrong the first time. This one is so much better."
bitch
An easy bake oven. (I work in a craft store) it was half an hour past close when a drunk couple asked for it after their cards were already declining. All the while my coworkers had been making jokes about late customers, but the mention of an easy bake oven made everyone lose their shit. You could hear framing in the back laughing at these people explaining that the 90’s had shown up to haunt us
Honest to god, I worked in a cellphone store and one customer asked me what the name of my skin color was called, because she liked it so much?!
After the initial wtf?! moment, I was tempted to say toasty pecans.

I worked for the gas and electric company and I had a customer once ask me (well demand, really) that I credit her account for the time the power was off.
I used to live and work in Zion National Park. The lodge and restaurant are 25ish minutes into the canyon. Like to drive there you are going down the middle of a huge ass canyon, several thousand feet of cliffs on either side of you.
A tourist came in and asked the front desk if there were any canyons nearby.
I lost all faith in intelligence right then.
