21 service industry workers share the corniest jokes and clichés they always hear from customers.

The customer is always right... and their jokes are always awful.

In addition to doing their jobs, servers, bartenders, cashiers, and other workers have to endure being the audience for customers who like to do bits. Many patrons will be disappointed to learn that they're not the only one who jokingly says "hated it!" when they hand back an empty plate, and that all the jokes have been told before.

Service industry workers shared the worst jokes they frequently hear from customers, and it's time to retire these from the repertoire.

1.

I work at a restaurant where it is required grate cheese onto your dish (lol euphemisms) if you're so inclined. It's common practice to be a doucher/douchebaguette and say, "Don't stop until your arm gets tired!" and things of that effect. Every table. Every time.

I will grate your face, motherf*cker, and THEN WILL I STOP WHEN MY ARM TIRES. -unclewalty

2.

My name is Summer. There are two: "What happened to Winter/Spring/Fall?" and "In the Winter/Spring/Fall do you change your name?"

HAHAHAHAHASHUTTHAF*CKUP -itzkoolaid

3.

When I was a waiter: "WORKIN' HARD OR HARDLY WORKIN'? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH" -dorklogic

4.

'Hi, I'm (name), I'll be your waitress tonight.' 'Well, hi, I'm Joe and I'll be your customer for tonight.' Oh, the laughs that were had. ._. -babygblue

5.

"Do *you* come with the car?"-Rooke

6.

I used to serve and tend bar... Me: "Can I get you anything else? Them: "Yea a winning lotto ticket/$10,000,000, hahahah." Eventually I started using the stock line, "that better be some tip!" Then we all laughed and the customer felt like I gave two f*cks about them and wasn't just doing my job. -sisyphuscomplex

7.

I worked at Red Lobster. People always used to call up and ask if we had crabs. I always laughed even though people did it a lot. -Conchobair

8.

As a bakery assistant, I always get, "HOW DO YOU STAY SO SKINNY WORKING HERE? I'D BE BIG AS A HOUSE LOL"

I bite my tongue and smile and think to myself "LOL TOO BAD YOU ALREADY ARE." -flea_baguette

9.

I was a waitress in a Japanese restaurant for a while. I'm white.

"Well you don't look Japanese!"

Worse though, a half Korean girl I worked with got asked, " Now which kinda Asian are you?" -opplesandbononos

10.

I was a cashier and whenever something wouldn't scan people say "Haha, that means it free, right?" I know they're just being friendly but you would hear it all the time. -janearcade

11.

When the total is pretty much anything between 13 and 20 dollars with some change on the end, customers can't help but say "that was a good year!" I always fantasize about coming back with some horrible historic event from that year.

Me: Nineteen-forty-five.

Customer: That was a good year!

Me: You're obviously not Japanese. -deselby12

12.

When a customer hands over a crisp bill, usually a 20 or 100, and they joke about how it's freshly printed or that the ink is still wet. Never heard that one before! -Toastmaster_General

Barista - Would you like sugar in that?
Customer - No Thanks, I'm sweet enough. -dizhef

14.

Former cashier, "Would you like a bag sir?" "Nah man I have one, I left her at home"

The redundancy was really what killed it. Seriously like 40% of the guys that came in alone would say the same goddamn thing. -jakebox

15.

Not exactly a bad joke, just a frequent occurrence. I used to work in fine dining, where busboys/servers carry "crumbers" with them, which are these little bent pieces of metal that are used to scrape crumbs off the table after a course is finished.

After admiring that we carry such tools, no less than 500 times have I heard customers say "looks like you might need to pull out the vacuum for this job, HAHAH". I always laughed in response, but died a little inside each time. -​​​​​​rubes6

Brilliant person: A million dollars would be nice. -jerisad

When I was a barista, I got a pretty good one actually, mostly from middle aged white men; "I like my coffee like I like my women; large, black, and full-bodied! Don't tell my wife I said that..." or something similar. -Yellowblack
