I work at a popular italian restaurant as a food/kitchen runner. Sucks. A woman ordered a salad. She sent the salad back complaining that the vegetables in the salad were too "crispy and fresh." She asked for us to put it in the microwave with butter. People are simply ridiculous.
The limits of customer satisfaction
I work on a ferry that travels between the US and Canada. One day at work a lady came up to me and she was big, a solid 350 pounds. She told me she had dropped about $10 worth of loonies and toonies ($1 and $2 Canadian coin), quarters, and nickels in one of the women's restroom toliets and asks if we can get them out for her. While this already is kind of gross me and a co-worker close the restroom so can go in. She points to the stall it happened in and then mentions to us that after they fell in she still did her business. We look and there is a truly massive, MASSIVE shit in the toliet. I looked at her and said there was no way she would be getting that money back. She then went to my boss and told him I had refused to do it and said I should be fired for refusing service to a passenger. He looked at her and said "He is about as likely to get fired for refusing to help you as you are to fitting in a size 6". I love my boss sometimes.
As a bartender, I usually have to deal with people who are douchebags when they are drunk. Some are fine, and if they get too aggressive or stupid, I can cut them off or make them drink water. However, I can't really do anything unless they ask for another drink. One night not too long ago, a girl was in the bar I worked at and was mucking around with her friends. She was... Read More »
I work as a bagger at the grocery store on a navy base during the breaks when I'm home from school. We don't get a salary, just tips. This can be both good and bad at times, usually bad considering we have only one small sign to let people know this (we used to have more but one person complained they felt pressured to tip...well you should when we cram 2 carts worth of...

I work at a drug store, and one day we had a guy who was at least 65 come in, furious he could not find non-lubricated condoms. His reasoning for needing them was because he if he used lubricated ones, the lube got in his eyes and it burnt like hell. I try not to think of what exactly he was doing with them.
I work as an intern doing HTML coding, and I get paid eight dollars an hour. Recently, I've been working with a head coder from a major online company, and when I sent him my coding he ruined it, forcing me to fix it all and do his job for him because he didn't know how it got messed up. He gets paid five times what I do.
One day I was one break from my job at the pool store, so I was sitting in my car in the parking lot to check my phone and get away for a little. While I'm sitting there, an couple comes out of the store and starts loading their pool supplies in their car. As the morbidly fat wife opens the side door to put things in she hits my car with her door. I just stare out the window... Read More »
