Anyone who’s ever worked in the food service industry is bound to have met one of these—an extremely rude customer who shouldn’t be allowed back into the restaurant. Or to order food ever again! The sad part is, rude customers aren’t even that rare.
They’re pretty darn common and make the lives of waiters, restaurant employees, and baristas a waking nightmare. Bored Panda wanted to show you some of the things service industry personnel have been through with rude customers, so we collected some of the best posts by servers from all over the net. As you scroll down, upvote the posts that made you feel for these workers, and be sure to leave us a comment with your own experiences serving food in the comment section. Would you like fries with that?
Alexander Kjerulf, the founder and Chief Happiness Officer of ‘Woohoo inc.’ told Bored Panda that if your workplace is causing you to forget that you’re a human being who’s worthy of care and humane treatment, you shouldn’t work there anymore. “Quit, and find a better place to work, where they actually care about their staff,” he told Bored Panda. “And quit sooner rather than later. The longer you stay, the more they will grind you down until you lose all the energy and optimism you need to move on and find a better job.”
Alexander actually made an entire video about quitting a bad job. Meanwhile, you’ll find the rest of the insights that he shared with us below. Anyone who’s working in the service industry, whether you’re a server, a cook, or a manager, should have a read.
