lol.

I worked at Subway

I LOL'd pretty hard when a dude paid $3 for a sandwich yet he was complaining I wouldn't put more meat in it

doofus isn't aware that we only allowed to give a certain amount
---

Way more bad experiences than I can count. Luckily I left that shit hole industry years ago.

Dozens.

Used to be the supervisor for an overnight poutine(that there be some fancy Canuck word for fries with gravy and cheese) restaurant in rural Ontario. We were across the street from three nightclubs.

Saw people get K.Oed more times than I can count. One time a dude picked up a metal chair and started hitting a dude with it. Ended up breaking a table.

And then there was all the people doing coke in the bathroom, drunk girls puking everywhere, random brawls without warning, sing-a-long songs as preformed by Chads and a host of other stupid things that I could go on for literal hours about. Horrible.

Too many to say.

But, I also work retail now and love my job so

I worked at a drug store when I was younger in the front of the store. mostly it was smelly old people, but once caught a homeless dude shitting outside by the dumpster, that was the only really bad experience.

I work at whole foods market. Preppy white ladies are annoying as hell with their coupons. I'm a black man so they naturally think I'm just a whole foods thug that gets high. I try to put on my white boy voice to ease their anxiety but it is rarely enough.

Managers are annoying mostly. They alright but I feel like they don't trust me to do my job even though all the results I put up say otherwise.

It's annoying to stand all day.

I can't wait to finish school and be done with customer service. It's just so annoying. 4 years is way more than enough for me.

I never worked retail but I pity those guys

Especially dealing with passengers as a TSA agent

People really are jerks

I did retail for a year at an electronic chain store.

The anxiety was so bad i was having panic attacks almost every day and had to go on medication.

If customers actually bothered to read the back of the box i probably would have been out of a job lol.
