- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.

Me, a driving instructor: "If you don't want to learn, there's the door. No. No need to slow down or stop, I have my own brake pedal here, thank you"
Who pays to learn and then complains like that? Sounds you ran into a lot of silly people
I suspect with driving instruction in particular -- I can tell you for sure this is exactly how it works with people taking motorcycle courses, from personal experience -- people expect to be able to just show up and do whatever, engage in whatever risky behavior or bad habits they've developed in the context of operating their vehicle, and breeze through with nobody correcting or critiquing them.
Which is obviously not how it works. And since nobody things anything could possibly ever be their fault, then they get butthurt over it.
This is the natural consequence of a business that is not worker owned.

Working retail for the first time at 54-yo, had almost no dumbass customers like this. Did have one call that said they'd go to Home Depot because we don't have a grass expert on staff. Well shit, I'm sure Home Depot's garden department is way sharper than my 35-years of growing plants. LOL, none of my coworkers know what a lilly looks like, should have got one of them on the phone.
One old guy threatened a coworker, I think he hit him? This guy was ancient, I'm putting it down to dementia or the like. You'd have to be demented to think your 80-ass is going to take a fit 20-yo man.
I did get some mistreatment working McDonald's at 16, but much of that was my dumb ass not knowing any better. And my dumb ass ex-Marine manager. Jesus, trying to boss kids around like we're in the military, for $3.34/hr.
Know what makes me jealous? I work in a nice Lowe's in a nicer town (for the area). Might get a tip every other day, always grateful and surprised. Over at the more ghetto store, some of those dudes clock $100+ a shift. Goes to show, the more monied conservatives over here are cocksuckers compared to the poorer Democrats next door. And it's always the people I did very little for. Motherfucker wants 1,500 pounds of rock hand-loaded? Nah.
Y'all love this one! Dude pulls up in a Tesla. "Hey! What are you picking up?" He silently hands "the help" his receipt. ONE bag of mulch. No one before or since has been pussy enough to ask for help with a single bag. (And no one has ever bought a single bag.)

Customer service rep - idc.
Customer- stops frequenting the store.
Boss - "Welp, we're through, you're fired."
"Cool. Where's my check?"
If the problem is an unreasonable customer, your business is better off without them.
If the problem is the business, you're better off with a new job.
ok, but how? (emotionally)
You'd be surprised. I've had people absolutely not listening to me in the past. It's not overly common, but definitely not unheard of.
People will literally get in my car expecting that I teach them to park then take them for their driving test after just a few lessons.
