Some people love working from home, and then there are those of us who despise it. We're just tired of rolling out of bed 10 minutes before work and staring at the same damn wall every single day, okay? Click here if you relate more to customer service work memes!

Anyone who's worked a bunch of jobs in their lifetime has likely experienced a volatile work environment at some point, but these stories from a recent r/AskReddit thread are seriously next level. I doubt many people have had to deal with the head of a rabies-infested javelina on their first day of work, or chase down some disembodied lobster tails running around a grocery store. Whether these tales of employment are totally shocking or all too familiar, anyone can relate to that moment where you think 'damn, I don't get paid enough for this shit.'  

Retail workers have undoubtedly been one of the most under-appreciated class of workers since the dawn of mass consumerism. Being polite and helpful to rude customers all day for a wage that barely covers living expenses is soul-sucking enough when there isn't a series of commercial holidays intersecting with a global pandemic. Since the dreaded Black Friday is upon us, we thought we'd share a handful of retail horror stories from the subreddit r/TalesFromRetail for all the brave wage warriors out there. You're not alone and we feel for you.

If you've ever worked in a customer service position, then you've guaranteed encountered your fair share of Karens and other horrible, entitled customers who make your job a lot harder than it needs to be. We're not going to stereotype generations here, but as proven by the memes you're about to see it's the Baby Boomers who are always the worst. Sorry, not sorry.

It's that time of the year when seasonal depression starts to creep in like the early darkness of winter. But just when it feels like there's no escape, memes swoop in to the rescue. Memes are kind of like vitamin D from the sun—the effect is subtle, but they pump you with a little dose of joyful energy when the days feel dark. Treat yourself to some hilarious memes!

Job-hunting is hard enough without having to deal with complete and utter inadequacy at the hiring level. Like, come on people, get your sh*t together and at least set a decent example for your applicants! The following job ads will anger literally anyone who has any decent sense of grammar and punctuation. And we mean anyone. These are bad...

Whether you're a server, bartender, or line cook, we're betting that you'll find these memes very relatable. Restaurant work is tough, and anyone who claims it's easy has obviously never had to work a busy shift with 500 Karen-type patrons. 

And you're in luck, cause we have even more service industry content here!

To everyone working through the madness that is 2020, we see you. And we're here to offer some respite in the form of work-related memes. They may not give you the time off that you've requested (or benefits) but they will probably remind you that you're not alone in the struggle. 

TGIF, friends! To celebrate a day that is pretty much meaningless in 2020 we have put together another gallery of memes for your enjoyment. It's not much, but it's honest work. We just hope they lift your spirits during these bleak times.
