I was at a restaurant recently. There was a family at the nearby table. They had a problem with one of their entrees. When the server was away the dad made some remark telling his kids "go to college or end up like that loser working here in your 40s" or something like that.

Yes, but I know it's out of desperation because he got passed around and time is running out for him. It's just really bad luck for him and the pandemic wasn't helping.

Yeah, I dealt with that almost every day when I was working at restaurants. Some people have no manners, some people are rude, and some people are flat out wrathful. The worst are the assholes who try to film you. I always just walked to the back and told the manager (who got paid more than I did) to deal with it.

The social media sites should instantly IP ban anyone who posts videos of themselves picking on service workers. Of course, they encourage it because it gets viewers who see the advertisements. I feel like this got worse when tiktok was made. That place is so toxic.

Just when I briefly worked retail. I can't think of times when I've seen it happen to others.

I remember a time when I was working (it was a convenience store) and this lady tried to cut like 4 or 5 people in line to get me to do her lotto stuff. I told her she needed to go to the back of the line, she said it would be quick, I said I would be helping the customers in the order of the line, and she started screaming that she had cancer and should be able to do whatever she wanted.

Heh. I know a nurse who gets like $25 per hour at her main job but sometimes serves for extra money. I'd like to see someone say that to her.

A few months back I was at the grocery store and a customer got mad that another customer didn't have on a mask so he just started randomly yelling at the first employee he saw.

Patrons at restaurants would try to film you? Why?

Mostly when they got pissed over the prices and I couldnt adjust them. One guy got pissed that the price of fries went up by like nine cents and we didnt have time to adjust the menu because corporate changed the price in the computer without telling us. The whole exchange was between him and the GM, but I was in the line of fire because I was up front and the guy went into the lobby to fight with my manager. He wouldnt leave until they called the cops. I honestly think that guy was off his meds or something, so I didnt take that one personally. Im probably featured in his online video, though. Hopefully he didnt have many followers.

Other times, there were just people who intentionally went in to heckle us and didnt even want to buy something. There were a lot of drunks who did that and a lot of high school kids (they could, unfortunately, walk there from school). This one drunk started screaming and filming the staff because the manager told him he couldnt go inside with an open bottle of liquor. I wasnt there for that, but I legitimately saw it on Facebook.

This is largely why most people who have recently had a restaurant job refuse to go back. The pay sucks, but everyone knows that going into it. The customers are more abusive than ever before. Picking on food and service workers is practically a national sport now.

Of course, and I've had people be rude to me as well.

There are some true psychos out there.
