Job stories

ITT we post job related bullshit stories and pet peeves!

Post'em!

Working in a place with a drive thru that takes call in orders is the fucking worst
People will just drive past the damn menu board and cut in line constantly and show up at the window and freak out when their order isnt ready yet

I was working in the deli at my store the other day and this guy got assblasted that i didn't ask him if he needed anything else. I knew he wanted more shit so i just waited for him to tell me and every time he just mumbled under his breath 'wow you aren't going to ask if i need anything else?' this web in 5 times or so with this guy getting more passive aggressive.
I don't know why but this really activated my almonds.

my biggest job related pet peeve is seeing threads posted by ungrateful poorshits who are lucky they haven't been replaced by ipads yet

The way you typed that makes you seem too retarded to handle even the simplest tasks

Nobody cares

Posted this a while ago on /b/, but here goes:

>working as a dishwasher at a restaurant
>autistic af
>you need to yell out "corner!" as you walk through the kitchen/dining area door as to not accidentally knock anyone down
>end of shift, doing my job bringing clean glasses back out front
>mind is pre-occupied with internet conversation from earlier in the day
>approach door
>yell "troll!" instead of "corner!" due to intense autism

My co-workers took it as a Harry Potter reference somehow... but I was still very embarrassed about my autism.

>af
Go back to twitter or facebook you dumbass faggot

Since when did "af" become "taboo" around here? Honest question, because I sparsely use Veeky Forums since it became a Trump-propaganda site. It practically originated here, and if not, it was at least widely accepted.

(You)

Type out "as fuck" so you don't look like an underaged retard

This is a fair point, but I'm still wondering when exactly "af" was no longer "accepted" here. I've no problem with typing it out, I'm only curious.

It has always made you look lazy especially since the rise of social media has become popular with teenagers your age

This doesn't answer my question. Also, please tell me how to enter your reality, I would love to be further away from 30 than I am.

You are not on a chat client, so you can type in a way that lets you not use shorthand.

Says the cunt who didn't even punctuate.

Any kind of abbreviation is frowned upon, except maybe tfw/mfw but only because it's used to often

I am well aware of this. I'm just curious as to when "af" stopped being a thing around here. I have no problem with typing out "as fuck", this is not an issue for me. I'm simply wondering because I remember /b/ being half-composed of "af". The other half being traps and "it's not gay if..."

>/b/
Well, there is your problem.
/b/ is full of retards, try to not act like them.

Another fair point, maybe "af" is exclusive to /b/. I will keep it there where all the other trash belongs desu.

(you can't stop me from saying desu though.)

The desu word filter started 2 years ago...how new are you?

There's a difference between typing t b h and having it be filtered and outing yourself as weeb trash.

>complaining about weebs on a site devoted to anime

Really made me think there.

You misunderstand, I'm calling myself weeb trash because it's true desu

go f yselves for derailing af the thread

"THERE'S A TROLL, IN THE DUNGEON!"

I'm gonna have to agree with this. I've been meeting so many people become more and more lazy of the last year. People saying " I cba right now" And I had to ask what CBA meant. This generation is so lazy this entire thread would be too much for them right now. They wouldn't be able to get through the first sentence before they got lazy and said fuck it.

also get back to the damn thread you tards

f off you stupid effer

Being an adult myself I often wonder why other adults expect "kids" to be adults when the very same adults get triggered by such inconsequential things. >Same on Facebook with plenty of adults getting asshurt posting snarky replies to fucking opinion pieces. Does some autistic slight of hand really bother people that much? Cause as far as I know everything seems to bother adults

>working at wendys in 2002 in HS
>all the spanish people help me with spanish homework
>old man comes in every night to drink diet coke and grade papers
>helps me with my math homework
>become friends, take my break with him every day
it was pretty cool. i got fired for telling the new asst. mgr to suck my fat cock during rush.

>Being an adult myself
You made it very clear that you are not.

>Already know even if I wasn't a legal adult I would be more mature than someone bitching about something being stupid af on 4chins

>work at McDonalds
>some guy bitches at us because his big mac doesn't have enough secret sauce
>agree to replace his big mac
>everybody agrees we should slap our cocks on his burger
>we proceed to start slapping our cocks on the guy's burger
>the fucking new guy accidently cums on burger
>its to late now, the dude is bitching that his burger is late
>we mix the jizz with sum secret sauce
>we give it to him
>he eats it
>he never found out

>It practically originated here

wow, are you retarded? you must be.

Probably everyone has a story like this but anyway

I work as a catering lead (glorified delivery driver and sever) at a barbecue place in Florida. Getting my shit together for an order up front. Hear banging. Look up to see a whale and her whale children standing at the door. It's 10:00 am and we open at 11:00. Have to explain to her we can't serve her any food yet. Throws a fit outside the restaurant. The manager is on damage control and lets her come in saying we'll serve her what we have available. The meat is just being pulled out of the smoker and isn't ready just yet. Throws another fit because only the sides are ready.


Honestly what the fuck. I hope her kids don't grow up to be like her.

baka desu senpai...

Mission BBQ?

>I hope her kids don't grow up to be like her.
They obviously will, since that day the learned all you need to do so your wishes are granted is being fat and obnoxious. Thanks to your boss.

4rivers. Not an awful place. Not amazing either. The only reason I like working there is because the tips are insanely good for catering and I only have to work long hours during event days.

Feel bad for my boss, only does shit like that because of the annoying regional manager and sales rep that constantly try to find a reason to yell at him.

>Be working as a bartender in a upscale catering place off hand for years
>one summer the only elevator in the joint goes down for three months.
>liqour storage was in the basement.
>ice machines, was in the basement one of which was broken and had to support the main restaurant and second floor
>hall was located on the second floor above the main restaurant.

I was really fucking pissed off that summer. Ended up using gallon painters buckets to lug ice and booze up and down the stairs. Was also great when the beer fridge in the kitchen busted later on and was struggling to keep up with the demand of a 200 person wedding getting hammered for five hours straight.

More stories from the smokehouse.

The sales rep is a cunt. She's insanely good at bringing in money for the company, but she's also the reason for most of the fuck ups that happen in the catering department. Lost a huge client today because she scheduled their event for tomorrow and not today. Like always she can never admit she messed up, tried to get me and my boss to do damage control at an angry client who has no food for 500 people. Not the first time either she's done stuff like that. Forgets to add stuff to the order sheets and we get hell from the client for not bringing it. One day she forgot to add drinks to every order that went out that day. Several clients angry because they didn't get what they ordered. Doesn't understand how to limit orders. Doesn't comprehend that a restaurant can only handle so catering many orders at once. She'll never get fired because she used to be a state representative and has too many connections.

i dont want to believe this is true

Not really a job but I helped my friend who owns several foodtrucks a few times, this is one of those during a very hot summer:

>friend calls me up in the morning
>a worker bailed on him last minute
>asks me to cover
>"I've got you my dude"
>expect to work in the foodtruck that sells fried chicken(never did that one)
>three big-ass fucking oil friers
>put on old long pants and long-sleeve shirt to not get hot oil on my legs
>go out to meet him and instantly notice that the day is gonna be hot as fuck
>iimmediatelyregretthisdecision.gif
>no time to change, hop in and drive to some part of city full of offices
>barely started making the coleslaw and I'm already boiling
>it's like 24C outside and we are firing up the friers
>turns out the friers are installed in such way there's no splashing or anything
>i could have worn boxers and a t-shirt
>spend the next ~4 hours working the friers with easilly 35C inside the foodtruck
>I'm swimming in sweat, my pant sleeves are like two swift rivers
>drank 4 liters of water in the process
>done with the work and we finally step outside to rest
>the air breeze combined with sun gives me this natural high which is hard to describe

The next day it was also record high temp but I felt like it was a mild atumn day.
I still remember that high from the effort and the heat. It was kinda nice.

not a story but i'm reaching a point in customer service where i just can't handle it anymore. i don't like being interrupted, stopping what i'm doing just to help you. i don't like greeting people and giving farewells when i don't mean it. i don't like answering the same stupid questions with new, retarded questions peppered in every now and then. i don't wanna stand in front of the register while you take way too long to order. i don't even want to be anywhere near the register for any of this to happen. i don't even want you to come to my restaurant.

is anyone else as sick of their jobs as i am?

you're on your way kid

>Trump-propaganda
I ain't even American but I'd like to bash your little skull in.
>Keep it left and ignore the problems because calling a nigger criminal a criminal is racist.
Gif related me on the right

Daily reminder it's the rightwing overlords who are promoting racial division having taken a page from the southern aristocracy's, "we're fucking you over middle and lower class white, but at least you ain't a nog."

>work in a grocery store
>ethnically enriched family gets fried chicken as the first thing in the store
>walks around shopping for the rest of the time
>AYO DIS BE COLD I AIN'T PAYIN FO DIS I WANT NEW STUFF FREE
>sure okay they can make new stuff we just need the cold stuff
>Oh nuh uh so so you can reheat it, you gunna need to throw it away anyways! WHERE DA MANAGER AT

or

>store opens up wingbar
>6.99/pound stupidly expensive
>family of a bunch come in
>they've already been eating the bag and putting bone scraps in
>still comes out to 5 bucks
>HEY HOW MUCH IS DAT I ONLY GOT A FEW
>explain it's buy the pound, can't charge them at this point

and

>store gets starbucks in location
>opens up "cafe area" table places directly across from deli
>sudden increase of everyone "eating first and 'paying' later"
>managers never do stuff because they don't want to cause a scene in a busy spot
>loss prevention yells at cashiers to do better job checking under carts when people are just eating food off the shelves

I was going to type out a long story but I don't want to bore you guys. Bottom line is having GAD/social anxiety as a server really fucking sucks. Nothing terrible happens but I've come close to having panic attacks multiple times over nothing.

>Pet Peeves
>People who dont close the door on the way out
>People who slam the door on the way out

>tfw the deli guy posts mean things about you on an Israeli challah papyrus.

so don't work customer service dumbass

night job at a warehouse. no customers, no phones. bliss

your boss is Seymour Skinner?

>2018

I literally thought every single person jumped ship from that God forsaken board in like 2014 and now it's just spam bots

Good memories though.

Do you work at Toms

...

Why do people think that they can do shit like this? Ive never worked retail but I still want to strangle anyone who pushes the customer is always right mentality.

I have a regular customer who always, always, complains about something. I've often asked myself, "if you hate it here so much, why in the world do you keep coming back??" I guess she just needs it in her life, I don't know. The best time was about a week ago. She got everything she wanted, everything was fast and to her satisfaction, she got extra this, a little more of that, literally everything was perfect. It became a game for me. I see her starting to sweat as I anticipate her every need and deny her all chance of finding a single fault. I use my most soothing voice. For my own amusement, I treat her like a goddamn queen. I can see she is almost ready to pee herself as it's time to pay and she hasn't gotten her fix. In a desperate Hail Mary she lashes out for something, just anything to bitch about... and what does she come up with? The fact that the font used for the specials on the menu didn't match the font used for the usual items, which confused her. To be clear - yes the fonts are different, but they are in no way whatsoever challenging to comprehend. Her "problem" was that they weren't exactly the same. How pathetic can one person be? I just looked her right in the eye and said, "Alright ma'am, we'll look into it. You have yourself an amazing day."

I feel you man, was exactly the same, I managed to get out and into the tech field.

>work in a restraurant hotel
>work in the early morning
>only me, the breakfast chef and a crazy ol' Ukrainian
>chef always makes me a nice breakfast
>make cold appetizers all morning for the evening
>get to drink quality tea and listen to music while working
>listen to the many stories of the Ukranian about his homeland
>the rest of the cooks and chefs come in
>brunch hour rush chaos starts
>big companies hire rooms for brunch
>chefs yell at eachother and cooks cook like slaves while getting puniahed for fucking up
>I just make my appetizers in a soundproof area
>clock my hours when I'm done and go home
It was a pretty chill job, I had no bullshit moments. :^)

>>it's like 24C outside and we are firing up the friers
>spend the next ~4 hours working the friers with easilly 35C

bro you are a fucking pussy its 35c basically everyday this summer and you are bitching and moaning about 4 hours of it

what kind of bitch ass area do you live in that a very hot summer is 24c outside 24c outside is winter temp

>4rivers
I live kind of close to the one in Coral Springs. Might try it when I head to the Smoke Inn there next time. Looks pretty good.

It's not. Just an antique meme.

>24c outside is winter temp
>living in a nigger country

Fucking lmao. That's hilarious.

When I worked at KFC, there was a woman who'd come in and buy chicken for her dog, which she'd tell us about in detail. The dog got fried chicken because it had cancer, apparently. One day she showed up and told me in detail about how the cancer had got so bad that she'd finally made the choice to get it put to sleep, and the dog was terrified, pissing itself and scrabbling desperately to try and get away when she handed it over to the vet. She didn't buy anything that time, she just wanted to tell me how her dog had died.

I never saw or met the dog.

>/b/ is dead
Yup user! there's no one there at all! 0 posts!

I work at a grocery store too. People are fucking awful.
>customer eat an apple
>tell them I can't ring it up since it's priced by weight
>they throw a fit and ask to see manager
>manager tells them they technically robbed the store and next time she won't be easy on them

Also, we have this little basket of fruit that are bruised or otherwise not in pristine condition, with a sign that says children can take one for free. You see middle aged people take some and when you ring it up at the register they ask you to take it back because they "took it in the freebies basket". I swear to god people are just the worst

It was Poland. We used to get very harsh winters but now that the climate is changing the summare are getting hotter and hotter, which polish people are not used to.

To be fair I'm guesstimating the temperature inside, I think adding ~10 degrees is fair considering 3 powerful oil friers working at full force for 4 hours in 25 degree heat, but it might have been higher. I just remember the feeling very well.

If your country is very hot and you pride yourself in being able to withstand high temperature... well, good for you I guess, that you have something to be proud of.

Wow, I feel like this is my girlfriend.

Uh oh.

I’m in northern Canada. It is -35 in the winter and 35 in the summer. Germany should have finished the job...

Our winters used to go lower than 35, but nowadays it's nice if ot goes below 10. Fuckin' climate change.

>Germany should have finished the job...
Why would you say such an awful thing? Also, you do realize that germans were not trying to exterminate polish right?

I worked in a chain pub and a guy would heat the frozen custard in the dishwasher.

I would deep fry the burgers when it got to clean down and the clam grill was clean

Is it dangerous to drink a half gallon of this everyday?

According to the Veeky Forums doctors your balls will invert into your body, expanding into an uterus, and your penis will turn into a vagina. On top of that, your chest starts growing two humongous boobs and you start lactating from them.

Those are /pol/ doctors. Our doctors will ignore the question and argue about types of pizza amongst each other.

*buys soymilk*

It is basically all porn threads now, that and the same autistic furry namefaggots that have been posting there for fucking years. Sometimes you can find a good YLYL or rekt thread, but then those are also almost all reposts.

/b/ used to be pretty good. Now it's just shit. Veeky Forums and /tv/ are the best boards now, tbcaphmf.

Is /tv/ really that good, or is it people cumming over normie shit like Game of Thrones and Black Mirror like I fear it is?

How about the opposite
>work at fiveguys
>everybody keeps everything clean as shit
>scrub floors and walls nightly
>everyone cares about food quality and has pride in work
>food is all fresh and there are no freezers in the place

Really enjoyed working there. I make twice as much now working at a regular restaurant but that was one of my favorite jobs

>work at taco bell
>middle aged white woman in the drive-thru gets a 5 dollar box
>her 5-layer burrito isn't as big as she would like
>claims it's missing a bunch of ingredients, when it literally only has 5 (hence the name)
>cashier tries to explain that to her
>she starts cussing out the cashier, saying he's a moron and doesn't deserve minimum wage, going off about entitled millennials while being more entitled than he ever was
>kid stays calm and asks me to help
>I literally make her the exact same burrito but roll it a bit wider so it seems bigger
>she starts smiling and says "now THAT'S what it should look like!"

She held up the line for five minutes so she could get a remake of the exact same burrito. Middle-aged white women are the worst.

to be honest, he did say "a while ago". so they could mean 2005 even

>cumming from just one slap on a burguer

FAKE AND GAY

>or is it people cumming over normie shit like Game of Thrones and Black Mirror like I fear it is?
Yes, it's a trash board. 95% of it is /pol/ + capeshit and Star Wars.

Black people are the worst

>store owner yells at me a day later, asking why my scans were so low and why I should even be paid
>refuses to hear my side of the story

I hated that place.

Its not, /tv/ is a /pol/ and /leftypol/ battleground retardation and "kino" posting.

Little over a year ago, political intern for a major national campaign. It's complete chaos, constant scandals, nobody expected to win.

Our guy is a literal dolt who needs his talking points read to him like a kindergartener. He's running against a painfully brilliant, cunning, steely nerved rival with ass loads of government experience.

Everyone is drinking and depressed the last few weeks as the election approaches. It's such an embarrassment we all just want it to be over, and several guys are talking about how to take this time on their resumes with something better.

Then these creepy foreign guys start popping up.

We warn candidate and his managers accepting help from these guys is not just unethical, but probably violates several hard US laws.

Candidate doesn't care.

We let creepy foreign guys run Facebook accounts with really crazy messages. They try to hack some emails from opponent. They make a lot of promises about miracles happening on election day when we're trailing in every major poll.

Nobody believes them.

They joke about votes being changed "right where it counts."

Again, nobody believes them.

But then a funny thing happens: against all odds candidate wins.

Then my internship ends and the whole country blows up asking questions.

I swore up and down I'd keep my mouth shut about creepy foreign guys.

But I'm scared shitless men in black will show up any fucking day and make sure I never work again.

>muh secret club you best be talkin in secret code
fuck off

>/b/ used to be pretty good
It was never good. Even all the shit it did that may have benefitted someone, the majority were a bunch of outcast dumbasses that found a place for edgy shit that they thought was fun
