Karen shames 20-year-old server for bringing her fish when she ordered salmon: ‘This lady spit on me’

Karen shames 20-year-old server for bringing her fish when she ordered salmon: ‘This lady spit on me’

There are some people in this world who will do anything but admit when they are wrong. Here, we have a Karen ringleader, who waltzed into a restaurant with an army of Karen friends (or, as the Redditor likes to refer to them, her “sheep”). This Karen made it crystal clear from the get-go that she was looking to start drama. When her food arrived, she decided she needed to have a word with the innocent 20-year-old server who recounted this series of unfortunate events. The customer was upset th…

'There are rats in the kitchen': 30 employees and servers share the industry secrets their bosses do not want them to reveal

In every industry, there are things that folks outside of said industry would not necessarily want to know about. For instance, if you're eating at a restaurant and you learn that they don't clean the kitchen nearly enough, you might never want to eat there ever again. If you work at a company and you learn that the truth behind who gets promoted and who doesn't has absolutely nothing to do with merit, you might be discouraged. But like all secrets, the truth is bound to come out, and while it…

'This is not what our guests are used to, but... it is the right thing to do': Restaurant owner informs diners that they shouldn't tip servers, faces online backlash from skeptical waiters

This restaurant owner has an idealistic way of running their eatery, but online, people are totally divided on the idea. It seems like the topic of tipping is everywhere these days. More and more establishments are incorporating tipping into their business models. From coffee shops to restaurants to food trucks, almost anywhere you get food these days is going to have an iPad screen asking if you'd like to tip 20, 25, or 30 percent on that meal you just bought. Though this can be lucrative for…

'If I leave, I'll never set foot in this store again': 17-year-old server reprimanded by coworker for helping out per manager's request, refuses to finish final two weeks

'If I leave, I'll never set foot in this store again': 17-year-old server reprimanded by coworker for helping out per manager's request, refuses to finish final two weeks

It's hard to forget your first disastrous job experience. Here, we have a 17-year-old server who already had enough with this job before things really escalated. He put in his two weeks' notice because he was tired of repeatedly being given closing shifts that required him to stay nearly two hours after he was supposed to be off. On one night in the midst of those final two weeks, the server was asked by one of his managers to help out his coworker behind the bar, who was clearly out of their d…

'Manager wanted me to arrive 30 minutes early to get ready before clocking in': Manager demands worker arrive 30 minutes before their shift is set to start to begin working

Almost certainly, at some point, those working shift work, or in other jobs where timesheets need to be kept, have been told by some manager not to “bother” reporting time that they worked over their shift because it's “inconvenient” for them to report it. Sometimes, this comes in the form of being told that it needs to be at least 15 minutes to be reported and counted for anything, but that's not really true—at all. If anything, if their system can't handle menial minutes overtime, then they s…

Restaurant forces staff to compete for a chance to keep their jobs, letting customer reviews decide who keeps their job: 'Slacking off is not an option'

We thought the titular contests of the “Hunger Games” series were just some SciFi hoopla, yet here is this eerily similar real-world equivalent: competing for the privilege of working so that you can continue to support your own survival. In fact, “Hunger Games” is a fitting name given the fact that the arena for this real-world analog was in a restaurant. Everyone who has ever worked in the service industry or retail knows that customer reviews are a total grab bag, you can do nothing exceptio…

'This lady completely flipped from... happy to stone-faced': 60th birthday Karen writes petty note to server after restaurant doesn't give her free food

Just because your birthday is super important to you, doesn't mean everyone else has to celebrate it with you. Birthday celebrations are a lot of fun for kids. They grow so quickly that each year feels like a big change. They can invite their friends over to play, eat delicious treats, and open presents (hopefully the new toys they've been wanting). As adults, it seems like some people just don't care about birthdays as much. You aren't growing or changing that much from year to year, and it's…
