"Welcome to Wendy's, can I take your order?" Imagine taking a breath, and you're about to give your order, your mouth is salivating and your belly grumbling, but then a monstrous Karen comes barreling in and pushes you aside so she can order first. Then when you try to call her out for it, she starts calling you a bad employee because apparently you work there now… Well, that is exactly what happened to these poor souls. They just wanted a Baconator and what not, but instead they were met face…

Whether it's taking up two parking spots with one car or interrupting conversations incessantly, there are both written and unwritten rules about how people should behave in public. But of course, not everyone follows said rules. In fact, the audacious folks among us actively do the socially unacceptable thing in public, sometimes because these rules are ludicrous and sometimes because they have no level of self-awareness. Before we reveal the various “uncool” things people do in public all the…

When you work is customer service, sometimes it's easier to hook it up for a customer just to get rid of them. We all know that there's a certain leeway that managers are privy to extend to clients, but that of course is at their discretion. If all of the sudden a snarky Karen starts insulting the manager personally, things might not go as planned for their 'oh-so-important' refund.

Call me biased, but managers are never ‘in the wrong’. It is always the employees who get written up for their manager's mistakes, and this story is as infuriatingly accurate to that statement as it gets. Why upper management punishes its workers via breaking the law is beyond me, but not enough workers are suing them for it, so until they do, management continues to get away with it. In this frustrating case, the OP was working at a fast food place in Oregon for about 9 months, when one day, h…

'Ask and you shall receive'. These are certainly words to live by– but when we're talking about making modifications on a restaurant order, this phrase is more of a solemn warning.

Having good working relationships with coworkers is important and can contribute to a thriving team and business—but it's important to know where the line is—or else it can be incredibly easy to accidentally jump across it with a two-footed leap… especially when you have no common sense about how to communicate with other people respectfully. It's not uncommon for coworkers , especially in the service industry and retail, to be incredibly close, bonded through mutual suffering and long, unforgi…

This Karen was actually the manager until the employee she fired got her booted too. That's what you get when you were the one who messed up and everyone saw it. No matter how powerful you think you are, if you've gained enough enemies, it will bite you in the butt, which is exactly what happened to Carol. Carol was the assistant manager of a restaurant that employed a high school student who wound up working approximately 60 hours each week (when did he find time to do his homework is the real…

There are two kinds of managers in this world: the ones who lead and the ones who enforce ridiculous rules.

You may think you've seen some odd food combos, but these ones really take the cake. Listen up, content creators. You're all banned from having pickles . Every last one of you content creators out there, you have abused your pickle privileges by creating man-made horrors. What have I said about making man-made horrors beyond our comprehension? Straight to jail, all of you. When you've been on the internet for a while, you can often spot when people make foods with the intention of enraging thei…

Late night food deliveries are full of potential for awkward cringe encounters and mishaps.

Back in the day, when mythical pensions existed and companies took care of their employees, workers would typically stay at their job and work for their company for decades, oftentimes riding out their first entry-level position all the way to retirement. Nowadays, celebrating a 2 year anniversary with a company is a huge accomplishment and most employees just don't have the same kind of loyalty anymore. In this case, one part-time employee had just celebrated his 30 year anniversary before...

Sometimes, no one can provide comfort for you like a fast food order.

If you work in retail, customer service, or the service industry, sooner or later, you're going to run into a confoundingly indignant and angry individual who is going to ruin your day—leaving you thinking about this interaction for years to come. It's just a matter of sheer statistics; talk to enough people in a day, and sooner or later, at some point, you're going to have a grown adult having a full tantrum in the center of your store like it's some kind of performative art piece. This Karen…

Here is a friendly reminder that illegal contracts are still null and void regardless of whether or not you signed them. This thread was posted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit by a former employee of a popular fast food chain. After quitting without notice, the employee remembered they had signed a contract stating that if this were to happen, they would get paid minimum wage for any final pay periods. Thankfully, this employee researched their rights and knew this was illegal. They reached ba…
