This dude was the trifecta of garbage customers last night. Kept stopping mid order when I looked away from him for even a second to do things like type on the screen or grab a pager (I know, your fragile ego probably can't handle not being the centre of attention for 5 seconds, but some of us have jobs to do), went to hand me his cash and, when I reached out for it, held it away from me like it was a game, and then made a comment as he was leaving about how I must not "get paid enough to smile more". You're right, I'm not paid enough to smile at, or deal with, you. The only other coworker scheduled is on break, I have a full line of orders that need to be cooked and I'm this 👌 close to swinging on a motherfucker, so let's not be the holy trinity of assholes and test me right now.

not my gm telling my boss i have a "major attitude problem" because i said a number wrong.
lord have mercy, i said three in a way that i speak normally, i dont grovel or kiss your ass over menus, and i'm accused of having an attitude that i GENUINELY APOLOGIZED FOR, but you still have a problem with.
genuinely believe it's a racial thing, because i know what i said and how i said it, but my mom is going to help me report it to the person above her.
(also i told her i'd go get shoes to appease her for two days, and she's rude about that. "i'm trying to give you time, but you dont have shoes, i'm sending you home next time." you ever stop to think that i have yet to get paid for me not to get shoes yet? every pair of shoes in my size on the website is literally on backorder until the 14th. and even then, they take TWO WEEKS TO GET HERE. so im gonna chill at home w no pay for two weeks while i wait on my shoes??? and have not yet had my pay??? can you fucking hear yourself?
also the issue with me being late. apparently ive been late four times, two of the four is me quite literally forgetting to clock in because we're running around trying to figure out whats going to go out BECAUSE OF YOUR STUPIDITY, you never looked at the stockroom or cooler and just assumed we had enough for ANOTHER WEEK. luckily we get stuff monday, but how the fuck are you the general manager. genuinely. god. )
PPS: i stole the fucking note she wrote to my boss. i took a picture of it, but im probably putting it back in the notebook at a random point to make sure i dont get in trouble. i dont know if i should keep the physical thing for evidence or not. any tips?

When does it become permissable to simply HISS at customers who make the same joke you've already heard 30 times today and approximately 8,467 times since Christmas?

I got a job a few months ago and it’s a small crew with an incredibly narcissistic owner. She hired me on based on my resume and from day one my job responsibilities have not aligned with my skills. Now, I’m doing twice the workload and taking on contracts bc someone quit— and I’m not getting a raise because it’s “industry standard.
I told them upon meeting I have physical health conditions that flare up and make physical labor difficult at best. I’ve been doing physical labor MOSTLY until the person doing contracts quit. Now it’s both.
I had to call out yesterday because I literally couldn’t walk I was in so much pain. Got a call asking if I’d done xyz task. Of course I hadn’t. I noticed other small time centric tasks were ignored and still on my plate as well.
Today I said I needed more time to recover, said I could do maybe an hour of WFH, then was told NOT TO CLOCK IN FOR IT. seriously tried to tell me to do work without pay???? Absolutely not.
Now I’m getting texts about a time-reliant thing that should have been done before today but they refuse to do anything thats “my task” even though THOSE tasks are under a job pay & title I don’t have.
I’m so livid.

listen. @ my worker. just because you're frustrated with how the trays are done by my OTHER worker gives you no reason to literally start an argument with her, and then cuss me out when i try to get you to stop?? and i asked nicely both times?? that's literally strike two. and you know the saying!

My work environment feels like a cult and it has gone to a point where I lost all sense of reality. And my HEALED depression symptoms are coming back.
Everyone is " nice " to each other and the next second they roll their eyes and gossip.
I thought I could trust them but they stripped me of my whole traineeship, did the absolute minimum and instead told me it is my fault that I didnt learn anything. How. Everyone here tells me a different truth and it doesnt matter how I do it it will be wrong. You just... Shut up , agree and do what they say.... Even if it is against the law.. Or a danger to customers / collegues.
I saw two lovely people who got worked down to a burn out in the span of half a year. They we're amazing at their jobs. But the boss didn't like them anymore.
I know I was too naive.. But I really thought that If I just be my authentic truest self and hard working I couldnt be hurt. I suppose I am not immune to this form of psychological terror.
Everyone goes sick to work. Everyone works unpayed for hours everyday. The brand we work for is not unionized at all so you are at the mercy of your superiors.
And to add to all of this now they think/treat me like I am stupid and over sensitive \ crazy.
I am so scared of them, that I cant think straight at work and seem so confused and stressed that even customers make fun of me \ belittle me somethimes.
I am not overexaggerating, I swear all of this is true.

"Can I swipe my card?"
"No. Since it has a chip, you need to tap or insert it."

I'm seeing a therapist because of ptsd caused by my job. I hate going to work terrified of whether or not I'm going to live to come home at the end of the day. That my life might just be worth taking over something as small as an expired coupon or something being an incorrect price. It's fucked me up so bad that I've been carrying weapons to work with how violent customers get on a daily basis and I'm scared of taking a life trying to protect myself and going to prison for it. Because I know damn well no one at my job would defend me in court if it came to that. This is something that I deal with daily too. Like I don't think normal civilized people even exist anymore. It certainly doesn't feel like it.

Some boomer at work tonight: "It's nice to see young people like you still working hard, no young people want to work these days."
Maybe because current wages for most jobs fucking suck and aren't worth the work compared to the cost of living?? You probably live off your pension in a house that you bought 50 years ago for 5 cents and a couple buttons, meanwhile most weekly salaries now are bearly enough for people to cover their rent and food. Also I'm not even that young, I'm almost 30 and struggling just to survive despite working 2 jobs because you old pricks fucked the economy. Take that shitty boomer mentality and shove it so far up your ass you eat shit, please and thanks 💁

This one regular is really starting to piss me off. He knows when we close, and still shows up only a couple minutes beforehand. His order isn't easy either, he always gets a few pizzas with a shit ton of toppings, which we have to cook through the oven that already takes half an hour to cool down enough for us to clean, and is just generally a mess/ pain in the ass to make.
On top of that, he's obnoxiously chatty and won't take the hint that you just want him to stfu. Like, I'll be visibly stepping backwards into the kitchen and he'll still be trying to talk to me. Just shut up?? I have to go make your stupid pizza and try to not have my closing responsibilities pushed back just because you can't show up ten minutes earlier, talking to you is literally the last thing I wanna do rn.
I think the worst part is, he's not your typical rude douchebag customer or anything. I wouldn't say he's super nice per say, but he's just polite enough that if you act short with him then you'd probably feel bad. It's just becoming really obnoxious to deal with. I can't stand serving him anymore and seeing him approach makes me die inside, normally I just pretend I don't see him coming, duck out the back and make another coworker put up with him.

A customer accused me of being ill because apparently she heard me breathe. Okay, I'll just stop breathing entirely then.

“How much is this?”
“$6.49.”
“Is it on sale?”
“No.”
“If it was on sale, how much would it cost?”
I don’t fucking know. Coz it’s not on sale.

fuck my manager! why would you decide to take a holiday over mother's day weekend (10th march in the UK) and only schedule me and the incompetent 18yo who's always late on front of house!! what's worse, WHY WOULD YOU NOT TELL THE BOSS ABOUT IT EITHER??? so now I'm in shit because apparently the boss "doesn't need to know everything that happens" and her going on holiday is "none of his business" 😒

More of a "wtf" than anything else. this is my first retail gig. Is it normal for stores to require bag checks at the end of employees' shifts? I work at an office supply place.
Sadly yes it is common. They treat us like thieves and let the customers carry out the store.

I'm sorry we don't have your size. I'm sorry the biggest sizes we currently get in store is more often 2X and occasionally 3-4X. I'm sorry larger sizes are more often only on our website. I'm sorry we only have a Medium and XL left and you need a Small. I'm sorry we can't control how our sizes sell down or how fast they sell. I'm sorry that the website is currently sold out of your size (and all sizes of it technically). I'm sorry we don't know if or when we'll get a restock. I'm sorry we don't carry more youth or infant sizes. I'm sorry we don't have much control over what we're sent; we can submit product requests but it doesn't guarantee the company will listen and or how soon we'll get anything.
I'm sorry we don't have your size, but being a dick to me and our coworkers about it won't help the situation since it's out of our control and we're not getting paid enough to deal with your temper tantrum.

This guy was being a total nuisance most of the night. The bar at my work sucks at cutting people off, so dude was totally shit faced when he was finally sent over to us to get food. Guy was being a moron, as drunks do, and kept picking things out on the menu and asking for a free sample of it. Tried to pull the sympathy card by being like "I just want to try it, I have no money, I'm broke!" (Yeah okay, the rum and coke in your hand says otherwise but sure buddy).
At one point he starts leaning on the counter asking me if I think he can climb the cake display (no) do I want to see him climb it (no) what am I gonna do if he does climb it (nothing, I'm not paid enough to babysit alchos).
Anyway, as you can imagine he did indeed try to climb the counter and ofc half way up lost his balance, fell over backwards and ate shit. Security was already nearby so I just kinda shrugged and continued doing what I was already doing. Play stupid games, get stupid prizes idiot.

I had a customer come in with the innards of a light switch that'd broken and while chatting with her to find out what type she needed she said the horrifying words 'oh no, I didn't turn the breaker off, the laundry machine was still running :)'
Girl, WHAT?
She'd taken out the light switch in the bathroom while the power was still on. Because the laundry was running. This switch had been broken for over a week, so clearly she could afford to wait an hour or two more until she didn't risk electrocuting herself?
I sold her a new switch and a voltage tester for the installation and hopefully managed to press the necessity of Turning The Breaker Off into her mind.
I've never had someone so callous about electricity before. Plenty of people who were overly cautious (scared to change a light fixture themselves), but never someone that reckless
