'One day, I had a belligerent customer come in': Teenage cashier gets back at impolite retail customer

'One day, I had a belligerent customer come in': Teenage cashier gets back at impolite retail customer

Some people have never considered that they can go for a shopping trip without bothering the employees. It's never crossed their mind that they could go grocery shopping without telling a teenage employee that the fruit “was better last week." This is the person who whines to a clothing store employee that the fabric seems cheap. Some customers get a thrill out of whining about unimportant, and sometimes unsolvable, first-world problems.

'Look it up': Customer talks himself out of a price-match and has to pay more when retail associate looks it up and realizes it's against their policy

In retail, the number of customers who are convinced they know better than you is endless… Better than you when it comes to the products, better than you in terms of your store's policies, and better than you when it comes to the legalities under which you're trading. Having access to all the information with little understanding has emboldened people into thinking that they're experts after a few Google searches, even on impressively technical subjects. Of course, the rehearsed script often ru…

HOA intervenes in fight over limited parking space, enforces new rule to get back at frustrating resident: 'Now [he] has to park his car far from his front door for at least 1 year'

Here is one of those rare instances in which an HOA was on the right side of an issue. You know that you're a major problem if everyone else in the neighborhood agrees with how your HOA dealt with you. This neighborhood had two desired parking spaces, one of which everyone unanimously agreed belonged to an elderly neighbor. The other space was hogged by an annoying resident, who would go out of his way to ensure that no one ever snagged his spot. Well, his stubborn nature got him absolutely now…

25 Technology Memes for the Employees in Need of Tech Support

Technology is singlehandedly the best yet most flustering thing to happen to the workplace. Sure, it's made work increasingly more efficient. Almost too efficient with the invention of AI, but overall, technology has been a great advancement for the workforce...except when it decides randomly not to work. A lot of us grew up with technology that just randomly chose not to work. You hit the side of the TV to fix the signal and restart a desktop monitor when it randomly freezes. You know the dril…

Worker calls out company for asking for donations to help a struggling coworker: 'A lot of us are already struggling to make ends meet as it is'

All throughout the 2000s and 2010s, we used to eat up “goodwill” stories about people banding together to help their fellow—coworkers by donating PTO to a sick team member and crowdfunding to help cover the cost and medical debt of sick community members. All this really begs questioning, questions that are finally being asked more frequently in discourse online. Where these types of stories are no longer viewed purely as “wholesome” or “heartwarming” but rather as a sign of the dystopian, soci…

'Couldn't remember groomsmen, went with dudesmaids instead': 20+ Times forgetful people made up their own words

The word is on the tip of your tongue , but you just can't quite remember it… It's a universal experience in this human life of ours. To err is human, and to forget words and make up something silly is funny. Parents do this all the time. Your parent will look at you, name all your siblings and forget your name, and then finally just give up and say, “You, that one. Don't forget your lunch.” Though parents have mastered the art of misspeaking, they aren't the only ones who remix words to their…

'Oh you're cold? Sure, I will go pretend to turn the heat up': 15+ server memes and mishaps for the overworked and underpaid

Working as a server is certainly not for the faint of heart. The amount of unnecessary nonsense you have to deal with every time you work a shift can easily exceed what other workers have to confront throughout their entire careers. This can range from power-tripping managers to bogus restaurant policies to entitled Karen customers . On top of all of this, you have to deal with the physical exhaustion of being on the move and working on your feet the entire shift. This is also something that th…

What's the weirdest place your car has ended up ? For most of us, that answer is probably nothing exciting. The most drama the majority of us experience with our vehicle is getting it booted, or maybe getting a really high-priced ticket. But these people. Wow. These people. Some of them have gotten themselves into quite a predicament! Their cars have become lodged in some odd places . Just imagine the phone calls these drivers have to make after crashing their cars .

In a perfect world, one should know that success is the best form of revenge and there's no need to go any further than that, but this is not a perfect world. Sure, if you know that you've found success and happiness following a breakup, then there should not be a need to publicize that in any way in order to feel gratification. Knowing that you're happy in and of itself should be enough. However, some moments are just too perfect that you have to post about them on all social media platforms t…

29 Interview Memes for Job Seekers Fed Up with the Search

It checks all the right boxes: perfect location, ideal salary, and matches your experience level. You do your research on the company, and you're sold. If only you could just start working there immediately. But, my friend, the rollercoaster has just begun. Now, you've got to look at your application mater...

'I have the power to make your lives inconvenient': Employee promises to make coworkers work lives harder if they continue to leave spoiled food in the fridge, telling them to 'clean up after themselves'

Some employees think that the office manager, HR, or whoever organizes the office works for them personally. See, I was an office manager back in the day, and people would leave the dining room an absolute mess. When I opened the fridge, I frequently thought that people were growing fungi there on purpose, by leaving their containers for weeks on end. It was so frustrating that I sent out countless emails, and even held an office meeting regarding the whole thing. Nothing changed, and I eventua…

French Fry Freddie and Goose Willis: 30 Pets with hilariously weird names

Each year, millions of cats and dogs get adopted out, and someone at the shelters will have to name them. According to Forbes, the number of pups who got their fur-ever home in the US last year was 1.5 million. That's just counting dogs—but shelters also house plenty of cats, and about 978,000 of the little scoundrels were adopted last year. Now, there aren't millions of pigs, lizards, rabbits, or birds sitting in the shelters, but a few of them always come through these shelters' doors, too! A…

'You were not qualified': Job candidate messages interviewer to decline role, receives unhinged response in return

Rejection is a hard pill to swallow, no matter what form it comes in. You can sugarcoat it any way you like, throw around the whole “It's not me, it's you,” “It's just not a good fit,” and your words are still going to have the same message: “You're not good enough for me." This, of course, is a brutal affront to anyone's ego

'I was too stunned to speak': Boss tries to earn social approval by mocking overworked employee during meeting, coworkers back them up instead of taking his side

The relationship you have with your boss is almost as important as your personal relationships at home. Employees spend more than 8 hours a day with their employers, and likely rely on them with every step they take on their job. They don't have to become best friends, but it is still important to maintain a good relationship with the person who is basically in charge of your professional life. I would not call the relationship that is being described in this Reddit post a ‘good working relatio…
