A&E’s “Customer Wars” returns this Tuesday with “Superstore Sprinter,” a global tour of outrageous customer-employee confrontations. From fast-food fisticuffs in Baltimore to shoplifting standoffs in Kent, Washington, the episode offers a smorgasbord of public freakouts.
If you’ve ever worked in customer service, you’ll likely find yourself nodding along in empathetic solidarity – or perhaps shaking your head in disbelief. “Superstore Sprinter” captures the absurdity of these interactions, reminding us that the phrase “The customer is always right” is more often a punchline than a business principle.
But amidst the chaos, there are also moments of heartwarming humanity. The episode features a story of a quick-thinking six-year-old in Northern Ireland who enlists the help of a delivery driver when his mother collapses.
“Customer Wars” airs Tuesday, March 25th at 10:30 PM EST on A&E.
