I think some of the customers that come into my job purposely are rude/try to annoy me. How should I act to that? They make me so stressed, and I'm tempted to find out where they work and be the same way to them!!

'Maybe you should change your look ?'
What...?

No, not a good idea. It's pretty much the way that road rage develops and then ends in ways that neither party wished. What you're experiencing in your work is not because of you, but common in the 'service' industry. Your serve customers. Customers are not always appreciative and polite. If it wasn't you behind the counter, they'd be rude to somone else. The tolerance that you learn at your current job is valuable and will be to your benefit for the rest of your life. This is why even the most modest of jobs is a learning experience. But you have to see it in that manner. Police officers have to deal with the same thing as you, but have to learn techniques to deal with it and realize that rudeness is a symptom of the other person's troubles. Try to get a wider perspective of the problem. Here's what I did: Each day I went to work I consciously reminded myself that today someone will be rude to me. Be prepared. Be ready. Develop a stance of tolerance and a technique of withstanding the rudeness with conscious thought. It always helped that I factored it into my work thoughts, rather than let it take me by surprise all the time.

You could go for revenge, but I think it would be better for you and your future if you consider this:
No one can "make" you feel anything. It's something you can learn to change your reaction over. If you choose to believe that these people's behaviors are not personal to you, you may find that letting it slide is possible.
If, on the other hand, you decide to opt for believing they're attacking you personally, odds are that you'll become angrier and angrier.
Which do you think is a healthier option for you?

You should do that but while your their you should piss on thier work space. tell them to get the **** out if they are going to be rude. most companys reserve the right to refuse service. or you should print out pictures of porn and hang it up near their workspace. you could always wack off and spread all over their computer tht is if they have 1.

don`t let them get to you, try being nice and it will piss them off
say things like: you have a good day too ! and smile when they are rude. they will be nice after they see they can`t get you mad
you can always laugh at them, because the are just acting stupid
remember to smile..[ grin and bear it ]......not fun but it works.

NO!
find another job. Revenge will mess up the way you see yourself, and probably get you fired.

that is called work hazards,you know.
try to be more patient with your customers,but you should set limits to them ,and keep any conversation with them within business limits.
