The concept of modern-day influencers has been a thing for a while now. What is this strange phenomenon that has taken over the WWW? They swarm every social media platform that exists, and it has become impossible not to encounter them while scrolling. Well, influencers, as the title suggests, influence others. They have a distinct niche (All look the same to me… fashion, shmashion…), and they actively engage with their… followers. Y'know, like a biblical prophet. They have also gained a bad re…

This dude ducked out of a dinner party early, making his friends absolutely furious. Some people will always take advantage of your generosity! In this post to r/AmItheA******, u/OldAbbreviations6423 had a pressing question regarding his current friend group. The OP is in the awkward position of being one of the higher earners in their friend group, so they've kindly covered tips in the past while the group was out dining. But the OP noticed an interesting pattern of their friends over ordering…

This person who worked at a steak and seafood restaurant had to deal with the crankiest and most entitled of customers.

This guy barely lived to tell the tale after being served the spiciest dish of his life!

You're buying a sandwich and you get to add a stupid big amount of one ingredient: what do you choose? This one guy demanded extra onions on his burger, and with their manager's permission, this Redditor fired up some delicious malicious compliance ! As a teenage McDonalds employee, this OP got their fair share of irritating customers . Customers can be so demanding, asking for all kinds of special substitutions or additions to their food. Some people want really specific things, like having th…

Some horrible bosses give you horrible tasks just to be horrible.

‘Karen wants her rangoons!’ writes u/OneTrueClassy in this hilarious story of a Karen who majorly overreacted to a tiny mistake. Karens do often seem to do that. They're upset by one little thing — in this case, some missing soy sauce — and then they decide to be even more entitled and demand extra food to make up for it. This Karen really wanted the restaurant staff to grovel over their mistake! After getting her soy sauce replaced, she decided she was also missing another dish. Even though th…

The service industry is pretty volatile, as the environment is not exactly a professional one. If you've never had a job in this line of work, let me tell you, you are not missing out. What goes on behind the scenes ain't pretty. For some weird reason, managers in restaurants generally seem to be on some power trip. Their ego quickly outgrows their head, leading to repetitive conflict. u/Dio_bean took to Reddit, sharing his own experience with a terrible manager who instructed him to do a ‘deep…

One teen wondered if they were the jerk for getting angry at their friend's bizarre joke. The r/AmItheA****** community quickly rallied to let this teen know that friends shouldn't treat you like this! The writer, u/Wrong_Possession_839, described a scenario that took place at a restaurant that left a huge divide between them and their friend group . In the comments, the writer also added a few extra details that helped people gain insight into the situation. As they wrote, the entire friend gr…

Never bite off more than you can chew!

“Don't try to give my mom onions,” warned u/OceanPoet13, before sharing a few funny stories of her mother's “Karen-esqe” antics at restaurants. In a post to r/F***YouKaren, the user wondered if her late mother was actually a Karen or not! She relayed a few stories that happened due to the OP's mother trying to guilt people. As the OP shared, her mother decided one day that she didn't just dislike onions, she was allergic to them now. She was certainly not shy about sharing her newfound allergy…

Sorry we can't split the check 10 ways, it's company policy

Waiters and waitresses work so hard to provide fast and friendly service, but some people just don't want to tip, no matter how good the service is. This waitress shared her story of the time she refused to let her coworkers get stiffed on their tip, and it's an awesome tale of pettiness succeeding! As the OP shared to r/Talesfromyourserver, it was a slow day at her restaurant, so it already wasn't the best day for earning tips. At the end of the night, the OP encountered one couple on a date.…

My customer service voice is not a reflection of who I am as a person.

A young person in the food industry experienced poor treatment from their boss, and took some extreme measures to ensure it wouldn't happen again. As they shared to r/pettyrevenge, this worker shared that they were a 19 year old working in a pizza place. After a while of working in a nice environment with coworkers they liked, the place changed management, and that's when the s*** hit the fan. The OP says they trained the new people, yet the new management still made some inflammatory remarks a…

Nothing stings like the pain of looking at your schedule for next week and seeing a Saturday-Sunday 'CLOPEN'
