Papa John's Founder, John Schnatter, is here to warn the world of an approaching day of reckoning. Schnatter's recent bizarre interview features him ranting about eating 40 pizzas in 30 days, when he's not busy warning the world of a day of reckoning, and generally mourning what he sees as a loss of quality pizza from Papa John's.

John Schnatter stopped duties as the face of Papa John's in 2017 after he publicly condemned the NFL over the way they were handling players' protests during the national anthem. A mere six months later, Schnatter resigned as chairman of the board, amidst backlash he faced for being recorded using the N-word during a conference call with shareholders. 

Clearly, Schnatter is going through it. He looks like a sweaty mess of stress and stubborn delusions. Thankfully, Twitter users were ready to capitalize on the strange interview with some comedy gold. 

Someone on AskReddit asked for food workers to divulge their tips for what menu items customers would be served well to avoid. Apparently the baked cod at Long John Silvers is a whole steaming mess of bad news. 

Was this guy actually upset with his burgers or was he trying to just get free ones? Some people are really touchy about their food and would prefer to have a terrible tasting blackened burger than a delicious and still safely cooked one. The fact remains that this cook made sure he wouldn't have to complain ever again. Some customers will never learn, but sometimes it works to be honest with awful customers.

This guy experienced a bit of a nightmare after declining a job offer, and proceeding to get bothered by an irritable company who quite simply...didn't actually employ him! He definitely dodged a bullet on this one. Would not have been a good job. 

Anyone who has ever muddled through the grind that is working customer service will connect with these painfully relatable memes. On a good day, maybe only one customer drives you nuts. On the other days however, it can begin to feel like the whole world is against you. 

Being understaffed and having a manager who refuses to do any extra work is a recipe for a bad day. When this employee was told they had to stay late just because their manager wasn't willing to help, they pulled a classic reverse Uno card move. There are a surprising amount of bad bosses out there, like this incompetent manager who threw away 40 computers. or this boss who told a guy to guard a spill.

These servers are sharing the dirty ins and outs of having to deal with all kinds of entitled and demanding customers. In a perfect world customers would always be considerate, and not make people just trying to help them out with their food have to suffer through a living hell. 

Someone on AskReddit asked for chefs to share the red flags that customers should keep a critical eye out for, while eating out. The following insights serve as a guide for how to avoid a potentially high risk, food poisoning situation. Gotta watch out for those dirty soda dispenser nozzles, man. 

Twitter users are reacting to the news that McDonald's will be introducing their first plant-based burger called the "PLT." The big catch here that vegans are already pointing out with sizable frustration is that the burgers will still be prepared on the same grill that meat is, which kind of defeats the point. McDonald's goes and tries to do something for the vegans, and they're still mad! 

Burger King beautifully shut down a whiny Twitter user looking to get some clout for complaining about the company's decision to employ a "special crew." Let's just say that people all over the place were siding with Burger King's awesome decision on this one. And you've got to love the roasting of a moron while you're at it. 

Sometimes people manage to play themselves, and the results are satisfying. Anyone who works in retail or the service industry can recall a time when they had to deal with an entitled customer. Rarely these interactions end in the favor of the employee, but sometimes they do, like this time a woman freaked out at Chuck E. Cheese, or the time this Karen ended up paying for her coupon.

This guy was getting exasperated with the customer service at a restaurant, and after having enough of what he took as a "surfer attitude" from his waiter, he decided to return what he thought was a hang loose sign. This is where the fail presents itself in all of its terrible glory. Turns out the waiter in fact didn't have any fingers, and was absolutely not flashing a "hang loose sign." How about that for a big old-fashioned whoops. 

UK-based comedian Wesley Metcalfe goes around trolling angry customers by pretending to be "customer support" on companies' Facebook pages. It seems to be convincing enough to actually fool some people. The best is when the actual company account tells everyone that they blocked the fake support account, and nothing ends up happening. 

It's always a good time for funny work memes to help you survive this cruel world. Anyone who's waited on a table of bastards who tip nothing has a need for some relatable server memes to help you remember that you're not alone. Hell, if you work retail then here are retail work memes. Whether another Karen is breathing down your neck for you not accepting an expired coupon to a different restaurant, or you've just finished your shift and it's your "Friday," get at them work memes.
