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.
Jordans
In high school I worked at a larger athletic shoe store in the mall. One day, this cute little 7ish year old boy comes up to me and asks when the new Jordan's are coming out. I tell him it's in two days and he starts jumping for joy, chanting "jor-dans-day jor-dans-day...," doing cartwheels, high fiving people around him, all kinds of silly stuff. I give him a high five and start to laugh as he keeps celebrating. Perfectly acceptable reaction, right? Apparently not. The kid's mom stomps over, screams at me to shut-up, BACKHANDS ME IN THE FACE, grabs the kid, and demands to see my manager. She tells my manager that I lied to the kid about the Jordan's release date to get him to cause a scene. She also says she's going to sue me and the company because I'm a racist and was telling other customers that he was "mentally handicapped, retarded, and black on top of that so they would judge him." Another customer I had been helping goes up to her, says he's a lawyer, he witnessed the whole thing, that nothing in her story happen, and that he'll gladly represent me in the case I have against her for the slap. She throws the boy over her shoulder and LITERALLY sprints out of the store. My manager gave me a pair of the Jordan's for free and let me go home early with pay.
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 »
