It's encouraging to see people leave a bad job, like when this dude's awful boss asked him to consider his role so he got a better job. The kicker for this one is that, while the owners are trying to manipulate this guy into hiring his own replacement, the new guy with the sketchy job history was their choice anyway.

Yasmin Summan asked Twitter if her local American Food Aisle was accurate and Americans had questions of their own. Most notably, has anyone in the U.S. every seen a hot dog in a jar? It just seems...wrong. No wonder the world seems to have a low opinion of the American diet. For some more culture clash, here are some cultural habits of the UK that are just fascinating.
This guy noticed his boss began to treat him differently when he discovered another customer was his boyfriend. Then, he took things into his own hands. For another story of someone getting back at their crappy boss, here's a satisfying revenge story of a guy ending his ridiculously cheap boss.
If you're looking for cursed weird crap, look no further than Goodwill. You'll find mannequins with baby heads, Shrek rectal thermometers (Shrektal?), and signed crap from celebrities you forgot about. There's no end to the strange stuff you'll find in the average stack of junk. For more, here are some fantastically weird thrift store finds that will leave you with questions.
"Can I speak to your manager" type customers get the full ire of the internet, and even their own children.This instance in particular sure is a rare sight to behold. In all of the crazy stories we hear of massively entitled people being complete jerks to anyone in retail, almost never do these wild customers ever get a piece of someone's mind. And not only that, this employee actually got away with it. Amazing.
Going into this, you'd think the worst the can come out of it is that the store finds out that you're trying to take advantage of them. But no, it can get much worse. That said, you'd think it would dawn on this guy *a little* earlier that it might look *a little* strange to be buying this many pressure cookers. To see what a stupid person can do with a pressure cooker in the kitchen, among other things, here's some cooking fails
Weird customers! Mean customers! People trying to trade in obviously stolen games! What may have been a haven during your own childhood, and a confusing maze for grandmas trying to find a game in time for Christmas, was a wild land of weirdness and misfortune for the employees who worked there. Here are some more customer service stories from GameStop Employees.
This old lady was so focused on getting her cd that nothing was gonna throw her off. If you thought some yellow tape was gonna stop her, you're in for a surprise. People in retail have to deal with some of the most aggravating people on the planet, so our hats are off to anyone who can keep their composure in situations like these.
The internet is not kind to the unreasonable adults who lie to and berate people in customer service. Abusive people like this are not-so-affectionately referred to as "Karens." While we've heard many stories of this kind of frustrating behavior, we often forget that many of them have families; some who see both sides, and some who are just ashamed.
Thrift stores serve as a sort of receptacle for unwanted and out-of-date culture that still might have some value to someone. You could find a cool single-issue comic book or even a pile of dentures! Anyway here's some of the weirdest stuff people could get their hands on.
People who work at Goodwill have seen some pretty freaky stuff. From human remains to bondage gear to a surprising amount of wedding dresses, there are a whole lot of things you'd be surprised to find while sorting through a pile of personal belongings. And that's just the things people take out of their homes. You should see what they keep in there.

Last month, employees at a cannabis dispensary in Canada were forced to fight off would-be robbers who assaulted them with bear spray. This employee grabbed the first thing he could find, which ended up being a formidable bong. It looks like he was ready to smoke those intruders before they ran off. None of the employees were seriously injured.

Deep down I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we're all just witnessing some absurdly aggressive guerilla marketing on the part of M&M's. Police that responded to the scene are already estimated the total damage caused being around $700. That's a whole lot of candy bro bro. Hope blowing off all that steam and ripping through the store like a steroid-drunk maelstrom of rage was worth it.
