How often do you come across rude customers at work?

If your job is of that kind

All the time and as the night wears on it usually gets worse. I bartend... part time atm because I am also in school. I do full-time during the summer months. The more people are served and consume alcohol the more rude they can get. I am not saying this is everyone but there are certainly a good portion that do. The biggest thing is they get impatient. They want THEIR drink now but fail to remember that there are 30 other people screaming orders at me and they just walked up. I have learned over the years to have thick skin. It really doesn't even phase me anymore.

Its super rare, hasn't happened in my current job yet but in my previous one where I did more phone calls it was still rare. I'd say perhaps 1% or less.

For some clarification I give IT tech support to the users of the networks I maintain, so if they call me they are having an issue that needs solved. This includes people having stress over deadlines and stuff. But I always manage to have the vibe of being knowledgeable and dedicated so they are usually thankful someone is willing to help them.

The one exception I didn't include in the statistic was when they in my last job suddenly dumped customer support on our lap for a wifi hotspot, those customers were very rude but rightfully so since we were treating them like trash in our mandatory procedures. That one caused some temporary mental damage for me since my nature is to take things seriously and want to help, if you then place me in a situation where I can't help and am just a punching bag for 50 people I don't cope with that well.
