I think that if you turn up at a restaurant 15 minutes before the end of service with one cook on the line and order four entres the cook should be allowed to kill you

For everyone working retail this holiday season.

I worked retail for years, and yes, all the shit in the Superstore compilation actually happens. And worse. And employees are just supposed to grin and bear it.

If you're a customer, please be patient and kind to all employees, from the perfume counter person to the person hauling carts. They're living a Hell you can't imagine unless you've been there.

I swear some customers feel so much underlying guilt for being the reason people have to work holidays like when they ask what ur doing during "x" and u say working and they're like but what are you doing after the store closes and it's like uh closing just cause the doors are locked doesn't mean I get to leave immediately and then some will still badger u and be like but what about after closing and when u tell them "take a shower and go to bed" they get so fucking dejected on ur behalf like whhhhhhyyy

-.-

I just had to explain to an old lady how a GIFT CARD works I’m going to kill myself

Tonight a lady, WHO IS ALREADY BANNED BTW, came into my job after we closed and I was like “m’am we’re closed” (7:30 was the last showtime and it was 8:20 something and I had just finished closing) and she was like “what do you mean” like what I fucking said???? we’re closed

i’m turning into the joker today i s2g

If you're at a food place and see us putting all the chairs on the tables, that means we're past closed. That does not mean you should just stand at a table and eat your food. Go home. Eat in your car. We are closed. I can not go home until you leave.

I can not go home until you leave.

wait bestie not to be like “teach me this thing cause im too lazy to google” but like. if you don’t tip in england why are you also getting tipped? like is it a social thing that you know if you’re at a restaurant that’s nice enough then you tip? or like???

it's very much a social thing!!!! it also depends on where you go like im pretty sure if you go to more expensive places they do automatically add a service charge, but the general rule is that there's no requirement to tip and it's up to you. so at my coffee shop we had a tip jar that people would put their change into or would drop a quid into as they were leaving, and that was very normal like no one really expected to be tipped at a coffee shop (which is why i got so uppity that i saw so little of the tips bc my customer service literally contributed SO MUCH to the usually minuscule amount of tips we got). BUT because where im working now is a lot nicer, tips are expected as a SOCIAL THING. no one is gonna chase you out if you dont tip nor is it added onto your bill, but if you spend 2 hours and £100 on a meal without leaving a tip, you're gonna get SLATED by the servers. this is why we have suchhhh a big focus on customer service in england, because tips aren't always a given; they have to be earned. you look at a customer knowing full well they probably wont tip you and it's your job to leave such an impression and charm them so much that they cough up, and that's what i'm really good at because im a shameless two-faced cunt <3

they should invent a grocery store that doesn't have customers

Working retail in the holiday season (or any time).

This is the face I make 0.5 seconds after I’ve finished making small talk with a customer and turned away

My coworker is upset that a customer they were basically mean to came up to me to complain about them (it hasn't been the first time either). Like the fuck am I supposed to do or say???
