This is how got fired

THIS IS IT THIS IS WORKING FOOD SERVICE

I LOVE HER VINES

I work at McD and it was really hectic (another store had a power cut or something) and we didn't have the correct number of staff in. So I'm running around getting orders together for the till and some guy snaps his fingers at me and goes how long is this gonna take? Well mate it's gonna take twice as long now fuck that till time. I 'forgot' what I was getting like five times, checked his order, checked the others and walked to get his order. I am not a damn dog have some manners

This has ALWAYS been my experience in food service. Rich people tip like shit because they feel your job isn’t a ‘real’ job. They’re used to being serviced so they don’t appreciate hard labor. It’s so gross. And poorer people always tip nice because…well the opposite reason.

Fucking ok so i work at the mart of walls and i was working the door and we let service animals in and everything and this person comes in with their “dog” wrapped in a blanket and it was slightly borking and i asked if it was their service dog amd they said ya that it was just in a blanket bc it was afraid of thunder storms and i asked if i could see the dog bc im a slut for animals and they fucking unwrapped the “dog” It was a goddamn loaf of bread with a phone making dog sounds the bitxh looks me straight faced and said “hes a purebre(a)d” im so done

ok so the other day i was at sears. I was in the baby section. Im standing there looking at clothes and a lady who works there comes up and is like “oh are you expecting?” And i was like “uhhhh” and because im a dumbass i was like “no i already delivered.” And she was like “How long ago?” And i was just like “two weeks.” And she said “wow! You look great! When i had my first son, i looked like a mess for six months. Is it a boy or a girl?” And i was just awkwardly like “a girl….” And she asked her name and i said Chernobyl and she was like “oh what a cute name! It sounds really familiar.” And i honestly just stood there going through all that and pretending i had a human baby two weeks ago named Chernobyl because i didnt wanna tell this poor lady i was buying baby clothes for my fucking baby opossum

Super interesting!

I mean they can just peal it off but iight

It’s really depressing how Labor Day has gone from “give laborers a day off” to “give white collar office workers and executives a day off but make retail laborers work so that executives can get a latte on their day off”

My mom & I always have this argument, because she insists I’m lying to get out of ~family stuff~, but I’ve actually never had a Labor Day off.

Retail or shift work, I always seemed to end up working Labour Day. 

Some historical context for you guys, should you not be aware of it. Labo(u)r Day was created by Congress and Grover Cleveland following the Pullman Strike of 1894, which involved a whole lot of very notable characters and could be a blog post in itself but is notable here because it involved the Federal Government sending the Army and US Marshalls out to break up the strike.  Murdering, in essence, a great many American workers, at the behest of a sitting President. This holiday was an olive branch to the labor unions that did not support the ARU’s rail strike, a means of getting them back in support of the government, and placating them with the assurance that the government truly did care about what the American Worker thought and felt. Notably, the 1st of May was considered for this holiday.  May 1st is celebrated as International Workers Day among socialists and pro labor persons here and abroad.  It was decided that, you know, maybe suggesting that the American Worker had any common cause with workers of other nations might be bad for capitalist democracy in the United States, so they set it four months later.  In September.  Divorcing entirely the olive branch to US Labor from the notion of the working class as a whole. Which brings us to the modern day.  A national holiday born of the slaughter of actual working class Americans as a means to placate the labor unions in the aftermath and strategically placed on the calendar to avoid any internationalist sentiments whatsoever has been, along with labor unions themselves, eroded bit by bit to the point where only the bourgeoisie’s closest marionettes can enjoy it. The rest of us need to be at the rail yard in Pullman to keep the trains moving. None of this is an accident.  History repeats itself.
