Everybody has had some experience working in customer service. I have almost exclusively worked in customer service roles until about a year ago. Throughout my career, I have dealt with a wide range of people, from really pleasant clients who have become close friends to customers who continue to haunt me in my dreams. Dealing with customers can be challenging. However, what do you do when you know for a fact that the customer is in the wrong? Do you follow the well-known mantra claiming that the customer is always right?

I stumbled upon a Reddit story that details one very creative way of dealing with the impossible-to-please customer. With the help of a devoted friend/coworker, OP decides to pull off the joke of the century. Together, they trick people into thinking that they have been fired. So, if you are curious to know if the prank worked and exactly what went down, be sure to check out the screenshots below!
