Specialists exist for a reason. For this retail worker , jewelry is their career. They're a diamond specialist who works at a privately owned business. Even though they have impressive expertise at their job, there are always customers who think they know better than a trained professional. Something customers don't seem to realize is that expertise matters. As a customer, you go to see someone who's spent 10,000 hours learning a trade because they have knowledge that you require. That's the wh…

These parents had a great arrangement with their kids regarding rent, until they actually talked about their financial situation . Living with your parents used to be the kind of thing that lots of people only did until they were in their late teens or early twenties. But these days, it's more common than ever to live with your parents well into adulthood. Millennials and Gen Z know this all too well, since both generations are living with their parents way longer than previous generations. Whi…

This server isn't holding back — they're spilling some piping hot tea about a local celebrity who's acting like a jerk at their restaurant. This VIP is drunk on power, as the OP, u/Capnmcquacken, shared to r/TalesFromYourServer. As the fed-up server writes, the restaurant they work at is a super popular taco spot in Michigan. They have tons of customers, and they also sponsor a race car driver, who the OP calls Randy. He's allowed to eat for free at this restaurant whenever he pleases, and he's…

These people are ready to haggle themselves the best possible deal. These “ choosing beggars ” are among the funniest this week. People from all over post their random sightings of people who need things, but really don't want to pay much for them, and also, they don't want to put much effort into getting these things. Some people really have the audacity to ask others to do chores for them — like removing a lengthy fence — and then want to be paid so that the buyer can take the scraps, which i…

There are a few guided activities that most people are unwilling to be cheap about: skydiving, scuba lessons, and boat tours. With all of those activities, you want a trusted professional holding the wheel if things go wrong, and reasonable tourists are typically willing to fork up the cash to ensure the safety of themselves and their families… Not this man.

If you've ever worked in customer service, you know you have dealt with some dicey patrons. Not everyone has the guts to do what needs to be done with every customer confrontation and most folks lean on their one sassy manager who walks fast, talks loud, and shuts down every local Karen before they can get too ramped up. However, as a librarian, you can't necessarily strong-arm every bad patron with your big voice in the ‘Quiet Reading’ section.

Some influencers are under the impression that they have way more ‘influence’ over their audience than they actually do. Maybe it feels like they have a lot of sway over the opinions of others — after all, some vloggers or lifestyle influencers post stories and photos constantly, and get tons of comments praising them. But commenting on a person's photo is one thing. Buying a product they recommend is a whole other story. Being a small-time influencer just doesn't always have the ROI that busin…

Does a random blogger's influence really hold enough power to warrant a free meal? Unless you're a major celebrity, or blogging is a full-time job you make money from, I'm guessing the answer is no. But that didn't stop this woman from insisting on eating for free! At this point, the trend of influencers in restaurants has become pretty predictable — and silly. Have you ever seen the food arrive at the table, only for an aspiring influencer to start snapping 100 photos of everyone's food? This…

By all means, take the problem.

Well, if they insist.

Some expert negotiating going on here.

"Sorry your bills aren't accepted here."

"Excuse me, Count Dracula is spelled with an O."

"I want them, so bring them to me."

Some folks have never heard of "quit while you're ahead"

The nerve is baffling.
