'I forgot to put on my shoes': Employees Share the Top Reasons They Had to Take a Day off Work

I came across a funny Reddit thread while scrolling around and it made me nostalgic for the past. One of our Redditor friends wanted to know some of the reasons we had to call in sick or late to work. While I was still in high school, I used to work as a store employee in our neighborhood mall. To make sure I always had some extra money on hand in case I needed it, I would work a few times a week after school. The story goes like this: one chilly winter's day, I had to call in sick to work with…

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…

'He just left me there': Employee left alone for hours only to find out the manager walked out with thousands of dollars of company money

In the two long years in which I worked as a cashier in retail, I have seen my fair share of dramatic moments. I have faced angry customers who broke store items in a fit of rage, I have seen annoyed workers quitting mid-shift and never returning, and I have had to deal with a decent number of petty Karen customers. But never have I ever been on a shift and seen my manager run out the door with thousands of dollars of stolen company money and never return. Which is not something this Reddit wri…
