The worst customer ever

We’ve all encountered terrible customers. The world is full of rude people who don’t leave tips and make ridiculous requests. Still, this guy might be the worst of them all.

Ben Edelman apparently teaches law at Harvard Business School, and was happy to use his law knowledge to become a huge thorn in the side of Sichuan Garden, a Chinese restaurant, for charging him four dollars more than the meal was listed at on their website.

The website apparently stated that prices may be different in the restaurant, but that didn’t stop Ben from demanding his meal be half price for the mix-up.

That wasn’t his first rodeo, either. Apparently back in 2010 he threatened to have a sushi restaurant’s liquor license revoked for not honoring a Groupon for something the Groupon didn’t cover.

The Bitchy Waiter has all the email screenshots and details. Here’s hoping none of you reading this ever have to deal with this guy!
