A&E’s “Customer Wars” returns, and if the title “Barbershop Revenge” is any indication, things are about to get hairy. This series thrives on the kind of outrageous customer service clashes that make you wonder whether they’re staged or simply a reflection of our increasingly frayed nerves. This Tuesday, the show delivers a global buffet of conflict, from unwanted gym advice to fast-food feuds, culminating in a shocking act of barbershop brutality in Thailand.
Yes, you read that right: barbershop brutality. While details remain scarce, the episode description hints at a customer’s frustration boiling over into violent retaliation. One can only imagine what kind of trim triggered such a reaction. Elsewhere, the episode features a gym-goer grappling with unsolicited workout tips, a fast-food disagreement that escalates into a full-blown brawl, and a dog walker’s territorial dispute over leash laws.
“Customer Wars” often walks a fine line between amusing and appalling, and it will be interesting to see where “Barbershop Revenge” lands on that spectrum. But one thing’s for certain: it’s likely to be a wild ride. Tune in to A&E this Tuesday, March 11th at 10:00 PM ET/PT.
