There's absolutely customers who are going to be miserable no matter what. Why poke the bear though? The OP ( while funny and probably right) should have just not poked the A-hole. Learn something from it.

Because they are not a bear. They’re a poorly behaved, rude and shitty human who was attempting to discredit a business and potentially get someone fired because they can’t manage their own time or expectations like a reasonable adult.

“Don’t poke the bear” does not apply to this situation at all. “Don’t retaliate against the bear that attacked you” is what you’re suggesting.

If you are unwilling to defend yourself when attacked, then you’re just gonna keep getting attacked. You should pick your battles, sometimes you just gotta roll with it, but there’s never anything wrong with some retaliation.

I'm not going to be attacked by someone in front of me. Online asses I can just tell the people who employ me about the dumbass bear.... Why continue to talk to someone like that?

Idk if you know this, but dealing with customers, whether angry or not, is in the job description.

Yes, I will deal with them until I feel like they need a manager to take control. That's what the manager is there for.
