customer service

This enlightening AskReddit thread has McDonald's employees revealing various secrets they learned while working at the infamous fast food restaurant. If anything, it's surprising that things aren't grosser. Also, that idea about throwing an apple pie in a plain McFlurry and blending the two together sounds like pure genius. 

The term "Karen" gets thrown around a whole lot these days. It's grown to be the go-to name to assign to anyone who insists on being a terribly entitled, straight up nasty human being to folks that are working customer service jobs. With all that being said, it seems like this woman was wrongly called a "Karen." She was dealing with some genuinely poor customer service, and decided to call the company out on it. 

Well, you can learn something new everyday. It just might be a bit more humbling, if not humiliating, to learn that mayo isn't a part of the vegan family while you're busy telling people that you're vegan. If anything, it's a quick and funny scenario like this one that should encourage people to do their homework before they go back out into the world and tell other people that they're subscribed to a certain kind of lifestyle, without actually knowing all the rules associated with said lifestyle. 

I mean, it's genuinely hard to process the fact that we do indeed share a planet with hopelessly lost souls like the one in this story. The dude literally thought he was making his hefty purchases on a credit card, when in fact it was a credit card. Like, how do you end up in that kind of self-created debacle? The recklessness of blind ignorance is a mystifying thing to behold. 

There's nothing we love to see more than an entitled, aggressive, straight up toxic customer get their rightful comeuppance after issuing threats to an employee. We can only imagine how stressful this must've been for the tech support employee to navigate, but to see them come out on top when it's all said and done makes it all worth it. For some more gold from the tech support world check out the time that tech support had to explain what computers are. 

It sounds like there was a whole lot more going on in this lady's life. It was confirmed in the comments section that the hospital parking lot she ended up parking the rental car at was pretty dang far away from where she was supposed to return the rental car. Seems like she could've just parked close to where she lived, and then when that turned out to be a faulty move, she tried to play dumb. The thing about playing dumb in her case was it only made the fees worse. 

It's stories like these that might inspire other folks out there to take action and intervene when they see someone else wrongfully giving a hard working employee a hard time over something that they simply have no control over in the first place. There's enough irrational entitlement in this world to make you feel sick to your stomach. So, when you get someone who steps up like this woman, it can temporarily restore your faith in humanity. 

There's nothing we love more than to see an immoral car dealership manager get his rightful comeuppance after trying to take down a customer with a predatory car loan. Suffice to say, our mohawk'ed customer wasn't playing any games. This is why it's of the utmost importance to read the fine print before going ahead and signing anything.

If you've ever worked a customer service job you're likely familiar with the series of daunting demands, entitlement, and other kinds of stressful nonsense from customers that can fall into one shift. Starbucks really brings the wild ones out. Some people just act like animals and take out all the emotional turmoil they're experiencing from their own life situations on the very folks in stores/restaurants/etc that are just there to help them. It's a gross cycle, and hopefully one that stops altogether, sooner than later. 

With all that being said, we couldn't say that these drink orders are exactly rude, but they are extra. Would really suck to be waiting in line behind a few of these orders. But it'd be even worse to have to make them. Our hearts go out to any baristas that field these kinds of orders. 

Look, this isn't the first time we've encountered a dramatic tale involving a conflict of food ideologies, and we certainly doubt that it'll be the last time. In this case though, it sounds like the mom and kid were really testing (if not altogether crossing) those boundaries put in place by a vegan restaurant. Maybe next time, just have the kid eat the ham sandwich before sitting down at the vegan restaurant, and then bring some plant-based snacks to keep them entertained for the rest of the outing? Or, maybe there'll be folks who think that the restaurant should've just been more accommodating to the kid's meal choice. For some more vegan-themed drama check out this post about a parent who forced their vegan kid to cook meat.

You just never know if you're about to cross paths with a ferociously entitled, plain old belligerent Karen who is determined to enact chaos and misery upon someone else's existence. In this case, we have no idea what must've been going through this entitled Karen's brain. It's almost like some of these people only get angrier when they're rightfully corrected on their prior brain fart. Sounds like this Karen absolutely got put in her place. For some more ridiculous Karen drama check out this story about a Karen who took her sweet time in a handicap space, and then proceeded to get blocked in. 

The last few days at a job can be a cornucopia of not giving a heck. And when it comes to staying late on your last day, only the rapidly decaying, invisible bonds of convention are what keep people from just going screw this I'm out. After dealing with enough ridiculous customer demands it sure has got to feel good to just leave in the middle of a customer interaction.
