As we often say, being a customer service representative has perks as well as drawbacks. But what happens when hierarchy enters the picture? If we're being really honest here, that means you will most likely be forced to work every holiday, birthday, and significant occasion up until a new hire steps in to take your place. The following story tells an account of a distressed server who had to work on Christmas Eve. Since OP was a new employee at the time, she was forced to give up her Christmas…

I didn't know this happened in real life

As appropriate for the Christmas season, keep in mind the famous saying that says ‘It's not the gift, but the thought that counts’. This kind of thinking can save a great deal of grief and disappointment. But what happens if the giver is only considering the cost? Their only concerns are the appearance and reactions of others, but the gift itself can be anything as long as it is pricey. While browsing on the web, I encountered a story that piqued my interest. The story below is an account of a…

As a former server, I can attest to the fact that ninety-nine percent of customers are Karens. However, it's our positive outlook that keeps us sane. Though the evidence may seem to contradict our sense of optimism, we, for some reason, hold onto this notion that one day our table will greet us with a smile and leave us with a fat tip. The story below is an account of a frustrated waiter who has to deal with a table of Karens who won't pay the well-deserving servers. It's one thing when the tab…

Many times in life we can engage in situations that can test our patience.

So, when being tested, should we back down and surrender, or on the contrary, should we put on the fight of a lifetime? The story below is an account of a creative couple who made the decision to put on the fight of a lifetime. The couple refuses to give in to their outrageous neig…

Being in a professional setting requires one to interact with a variety of people. Some of which, we don't particularly like. That being said, it is important to remain composed at all times. The story below is an account of a frustrated employee who works at the hospital restaurant. It makes sense that the hungry customers would be the top priority. But today, we're going to address something bigger, and that's the subject of Sharon. Sharon is the gossip queen of the hospital. She wanders the…

Top tier plane freakout

Imagine you pick up a new hobby for yourself after work, and let's say it's a manicure. You buy the kit and work hard at making your nails look good and presentable. Some time and effort later, you feel good enough to help out your friends, whose nails are also hopeless. But first, before you hang out with your friends, you bring it to work, because you don't really feel like driving home and then going out again with your friends. You quickly realize that it was a mistake to bring said kit to…
