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.
Arts and Crap
I used to work for an Arts and Crafts chain-store. I started in an older smaller store, but over the course of a few months we ended up moving into a new warehouse sized store. One night my manager who was a total dick told me to sweep up the warehouse store two hours before the store closed something we had never done before. I told him the floors would just get dirty again from all the dried flowers and vines and what not. He got upset, yelled at me and I ended up sweeping the floor. Two hours later we closed and like I said the floors were dirty again. He yelled at me I did not sweep it the first time and not only made me sweep it again he made me do it a third time while he watched to make sure I listen to him from now on. It's now around midnight and I'm tired for working my 8-9 hour day. My manager then comes over and tells me I have to show up tomorrow at 5 am at the old store to help clean it out. Not knowing any better I show up to the old store to see my other manager sitting at a table with some of the female employees. Their job was to sort all the miscellaneous items while sitting in nice chairs in the warm building. My job was to spend 8 hours moving 20 years worth of junk, heavy boxes, trash and anything else heavy to a dumpster that was 20 feet away from the store crossing the road that was a sheet of ice. The manager spent all day flirting with the girls, calling me a "pussy" when I needed help moving heavy items into the dumpster and buying lunch for everyone but me because he "forgot about me" while I was in the back. It's ok a week later the store was totally moved and I was laid off.
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 »
