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.

After demanding everyone do painstaking logs, not reading them himself, and chastising his staff during a meeting, this manager was made to look like the jackass he really was. Frustrated employees sometimes give incompetent managers a taste of their own medicine, like this guy who was instructed to guard a spill, so he did it for hours.
When this great gym employee found themselves confronted by a rude guest who accused them of being robotic, they hatched a plan to take their sweet and satisfying revenge come Halloween. So, they proceeded to make sure it was all good with their boss and showed up at the gym when the time was right in an actual robot costume. The rude guest couldn't even handle it.
We get that all the promotions are annoying, but it's just someone's job and you don't have to go out of your way to make someone's job harder. And if in fact you are a jackass about it, don't go trusting them with your movie-going experience. In rare moments in customer service, waiters and servers deliver clapbacks as well.
This racist and blatantly ignorant boss is as dumb and toxic as they come. She consistently berated her hard working staff, and threw around verbal jabs about them being "illegals" while they were in fact from Puerto Rico, which is a U.S. States territory. As it turns out, Jan was the illegal alien of the whole bunch. Apparently she's from Canada and her green card expired. So, she ends up getting deported when it's all said and done. If anything, we feel bad for Canada having to welcome Jan back.
This tour manager decided to berate and talk down to his staff, and ended up paying the ultimate price. You see, that staff that's responsible for making sure things run smoothly decided to tinker with the feedback. Sounds like that alone ended up costing the guy his job. Yikes.
When this woman decided that she wasn't up for her holding her co-worker's baby, and made that known, she proceeded to get shunned by a very critical rest of the office. Was she in the wrong for not wanting to hold the beautiful baby, or was it really just a simple scenario of her exercising her free will? I mean, come on.
This company managed to track down the Facebook activity of a discontented employee. The employee has posted a meme making fun of using company time for bathroom breaks, cause they made all the money while he didn't make sh*t. From there, the company calls him out, fires him, and then digs a deeper hole (for themselves) by blowing the whole thing further out of proportion.
As the saying goes, people don't quit their jobs, they quit their bosses. Sometimes bosses lose sight of exactly how they should value their employees and end up in a nightmare that they've brought upon themselves. For another good one, check out this incompetent owner who didn't realize who he was firing.
Laser tag isn't something adults tend to think about too much anymore, but for a few years there, it was probably the coolest thing you could do. It was like a real life video game in a dark room covered in neon foam and fog. And they always had that weird smell. It seems like it sucks working at a laser tag place, so if you have a similar job, here are some work memes to help get through the grind. People who work at escape rooms also have to deal with weird stuff.
Seeing a stupid boss make an idiotic mistake, underestimate the value of a person they hired, and then not only have to walk it back, but also have to pay for it, is music to our ears. For another awesome story like this, here's an incompetent boss who demanded a contractor be on call 24/7 and ended up having to pay a $10,000 invoice.
It's bold moves like these that convince people why women live longer than men. A shout-out to all the bosses who have told us "just do it it'll be fine" or "we've always done it like that" and made us climb backwards up a ladder balancing on piles of oily rags. Anyway here's safety failures that would give OSHA nightmares.
Someone on AskReddit asked for people to share the biggest PR stunts and promotion blunders they'd ever seen by companies. The resulting stories are filled to the brim with failure. Can't beat the Life Lock CEO who accidentally leaked his social security number to tons of people.
