people get fired in everyday jobs for any reason you can think of, and this man gets to just continue his job when clearly he is unable to do so. ridiculous

As a server who has been doing it for too long than I'd like to admit, guests take a lot from us. Day in and day out. I was literally talking to a coworker today about how much anxiety we have due to how guests will react to us (or after on an online review) when all we are trying to do is talk to the guests about the food/drinks on the menu, and make sure they are enjoying the food/drinks. I can't entertain all the guests I interact with, but if I click with someone cool. But otherwise my main goal is to make sure your order is correct, keep your drinks filled, and keep your table tidy.

I have the same sentiment for a beauty store I go to, whom always asks for my phone number after I purchase products. I declined giving it, and she said it's just in case I want to return things. We'll, I will keep the receipt, why must I give you my phone number? so you (the business) can sell it to third parties? 🤔 I didn't say this, but I just said I will not be giving my # today thanks.

I was on a 6-7 person boat in Alaska, going whale watching and the woman next to me asked me what Lake we were on.

damn right

Clearly it's disgusting, but also we live in a society where people don't have access to bathrooms because we just don't allow that. Unless you are being a consumer in a business then maybe, even then I've been told no at gas stations where I am pumping gas that they "don't have a bathroom". It's gross imo for us humans to be like this to each other. I do blame the capitalistic model we are forced to be under.

Statistics show most homeless people are women fleeing domestic violence, military vets with ptsd, people with medical debt, and children. I don't believe for one second these people choose this. Our country has the least social services then most wealthy nations and makes the access to that get that help so God damn complicated.

This is a question that late anthropologist David Graeber asks in his book Bullshit Jobs. After he speaks to friends in other countries and they ask him how could Americans allow this? Being the richest country in the world.

So frustrating. Yes, let's give assholes more booze and not charge them.

it is, and I'm sorry shit ain't free.

Yea, ugh. Customer service man. Especially in America. I know in other countries they don't do this shit.

the 2 butters together cost 10 bucks. 4 for the garlic, 6 for the truffle.

I totally don't disagree, especially if the restaurant made an error, of course do all you can for the guest. But also I think we encourage and reward bad behavior, and this dude probably bitches about anything he can possibly think about at all the spots he goes too, and why reward that? He could have simply asked me at the table hey I didn't know this would be a charge, then I would have said, I'm so sorry I will take that immediately off the bill. Done. Not rip the host apart yelling at her about it.

but maybe not every guest needs to come back. sometimes it's ok to let Jerks feel mad and never want to come back.

can we just have universal healthcare first jfc

my boss prefers texting, what's the difference. bosses and their old school preferences need to get over it.

mango is the best fruit, so I I understand

like they are very "nice" sometimes too nice...then stop me to ask questions as I'm dropping the check. Like is the patio outside cold? (when it's 46 degrees outside) and I say yes it's cold, or how often do people order Cafe corretos? .... Like what is this? How can you actually be curious about this?

I like how this a big deal.
