It's unclear if having a pun business name is any better for business but at least it's something to look at. There's just something so awesome about an entire sign someone made just for a dumb joke. Maybe it's the sheer commitment to the bit? For the connoisseurs of sign jokes, here's a funny restaurant sign that dispensed jokes and wisdom.

In an effort to trim down a company, some managers try eliminating vital positions without replacing them. Some managers illegally dock pay, and IT has to get it all back. In this case a hotheaded manager went and made a pretty big mistake while also making sure there was a lot of proof for that mistake. Nice. Some managers are super chill, like this boss who used an eye gag to remove problem customers.

This random dude wearing a blue shirt had a run-in with a manager who was eager to fire someone she didn't even recognize. This one's kind of the opposite of this chef who was hired by a law firm just to foil the security guard. Employees of huge retail chains have to put up with some strange problems at work, like this guy who got hired and through a series of mistakes, never did anything but still stayed employed for months. 

This boss wanted a manager that he didn't have to pay extra. Instead of going along with the BS, this employee decided enough was enough and let the boss get exactly the amount of work he was paying for. Incompetent managers have a way of biting themselves in the ass, like this incompetent manager who forbid overtime. Here are more people's "screw this, I'm out" stories.

We've seen our share of stupid managers and incompetent owners, and things never seem to change. This guy had the misfortune of having his job bought out by a bigger company, but knowing the rules, he managed to outlast his crappy manager.

Anyone who has worked anywhere knows that you could walk into just about any business or institution carrying a ladder, holding a clipboard, wearing hard hat or hi vis jacket and not be questioned. It's not necessarily a good idea to impersonate staff, and it's probably some version of illegal. But as this kid attests, it can be done. For a while at least. For some rule bending, here are some loopholes people were able to exploit for years. For more Walmart junk, here are some of the weirdest things Walmart employees witnessed.

There's a type of customer that is never going to be happy. That type of customer has a habit of coming in during closing and being really unsure of what they want. They're just terrific people to be around. For another warm and loving person, here's a Karen who demanded a fellow customer's cart, but they didn't back down.

Employees find themselves having to constantly give in to demands of obnoxious Karens, but customers don't have to abide by such niceties. That's why when a Karen finds themselves battling with a customer, they usually get a taste of deserved resistance. For a total loss on the part of a Karen, here's a salon Karen who argued her way into a new Karen haircut.

Customers get can get extremely indignant when they believe that a fast food employee is "denying their rights" or whatever. But when the dust settles, and the guy has threatened to call the cops over being denied a reheated fish taco, nothing hits quite harder than "dude, this is a McDonalds." If it's not already obvious, customers make some ridiculous demands.

This guy came back to his old job and got mistaken as a current employee by an old favorite customer. Without having to smile and take the abuse anymore, he was free to speak his mind. For more retail Karen stories, here's a grocery store Karen getting humbled by a Canadian giant and a Karen who demanded to speak to a fellow customer's manager.

If you've ever worked retail or just exist, you've probably witnessed a frustrating entitled person going full Karen. The wild Karen's secret weapon is to demand to see a poor soul's manager, but this time, Karen's target was a fellow customer. Sometimes it doesn't work out for an overly aggressive Karen, like this tailgating Karen who got baited into a speed trap or this Karen who got humbled by a Canadian giant.

This entitled Karen got more than she bargained for after she tried to bully a fellow customer into bagging her groceries. When someone goes full Karen there's no way of knowing how it will go. People who know Karens have to deal with a lot of unpleasantness, and it can even end with that Karen making a whole neighborhood miserable. Retail workers and service industry workers know all too well how they operate, like this Karen who demanded the spiciest wings and didn't get a refund.
