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.
Rush Hour
Well I work drive-thru at a Tim Hortons. When taking orders at 8 in the morning it's so frustrating. It's almost like people sit in their car in line for 3 minutes and wait until they pull up to the speaker before deciding their order which then takes up to 5 minutes. Drive through customers also seem to forget the fact that there are people waiting behind them in line as well... When you pull up to the speaker box don't say "uhhhhh hold on a second," if you wanna do that then you can pull through and go back to the back of the line. Sheesh. To remind them of the gargantuan line behind them I've taken to saying, "Thanks for waiting, can I take your order?" which really means, 'remember you were waiting for forever for that stupid fatty who couldn't decide which breakfast sandwich to order for 3 minutes? Yeah don't do that.'. You wouldn't believe how much faster the line moves.
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 »
