That one customer who asked for a 'custom cut' and then argued with me for 10 minutes

Had a guy come in last Saturday wanting a 2-inch thick ribeye, then said it was too small when I handed it to him. He kept saying 'but I wanted the big one' while pointing at a 3-inch roast sitting next to it. Has anyone else had a customer completely ignore what they asked for and blame you?

Happened to me last week with a guy who asked for a "thin cut" pork chop, then got mad when I handed him something about half an inch thick. He kept saying "no, I meant the thick ones" and pointed at the boneless chops that were like two inches thick. I just stood there holding his exact order while he argued that I was trying to trick him or something lol. People will go back and forth forever instead of just saying "hey I actually want the other one" it's wild.

Last Saturday I had a lady stare at me dead in the eyes while I held up the exact 1.75 pound sirloin she asked for and then she said "no that's not it" and walked over to the display case and pointed at a completely different cut that was like twice the price. She just wanted the expensive one but didn't want to say it out loud. People get so weird about admitting they changed their mind.
