Worst Moments Of Working In The Service Industry

Now this may sound rude, and if you've never worked in the service you wouldn't understand. But honestly, people can be so rude, dumb, and ignorant all at the same time that it astounds me. And if you have worked in the service industry before, you'll understand all too well.

1. When they come in 5 minutes before closing and stay an hour later.

2. When the card doesn't go through the first time and the customer says "Guess it's free then!"

3. Customer: Can I have ___?

Employee: We don't serve that Sir.

Customer: Well when I was here last time you had it.

4. When you hold your hand out for the money and they throw it on the counter like they couldn't care less.

5. When they have a group of 16, no reservation, and get mad when you can't seat them right away.

6. When you tell them which receipt is theirs and which they need to sign, but they don't listen and try to correct you on which copy is which. (But in the end you still have to correct them.)

7. "Have a good night Sir!" *Silence*

8. When they take a tooth pick, then throw the wrapper on the floor right in front of you.

9. When the manager tells them the same exact thing you told them.

10. "Hold on, can I see the menu again? You charged me too much."

11. *Swipes card* "How about we add 2 of these on."

12. When some old bat that you don't even know tries to comment on your make up or appearance.

13. When they change their order 3 times, but it just means you get a free meal.

14. "What are your specials tonight?" They ask right as they ignore the specials sheet in their menu.

15. "Hi, how many tonight?" "Hello, how are you?" "Good, just 2 of you? *Silence*

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
