I had a customer once ask me the difference between a large and small popcorn, the large is a bucket and the small is a bag. I'm pretty sure you can visualize the difference, so I explained that to the customer and she said, " so the large is the bag? That's all I get" I said " Ma'am the large is the bucket, it's labeled large and the other small" and the lady goes " You should've said that". Dearest I did tell you that

And these are the customers that bring out my sarcastic side. I'd be like, "Oh, you're right. I'm still new, thank you for teaching me! Any pointers on how to remember which beverage cup is which?" And then that's when management usually pulls me into their office 🤷‍♂️

lol

How do these people function in the world? Differentiating between large and small isn't exactly splitting the atom lol. That's one of those interactions that just makes you roll your eyes in wonder.

Lost cause she stormed out claiming that I was trying to make her " sound stupid, in front of all these people"

Although I am going to share a story from one of the last times I was in McDonalds (nearly three decades ago) (and this is one of many reasons why I stopped going) I asked for a medium fries, only to be told they didn't have medium. They had small, large, and extra large. So, I said, how about giving me the one in the middle? I mean, what is this, Starbucks? ;)

Pinned as this weeks funny/ crazy story

Which one should I go for?

Amadeus is also giving joining bonus of 75k. Amadeus is paying more, may give better hikes too, but I am finding it hard to let go off Oracle's brand name on my resume even if it's means around 2L less over an year. I am planning to work for atleast 3 years in my next company.

What would you have done in my place? Should I go for Oracle or Amadeus?

I got an email last night from a 7th-grade parent because her son said I mentioned the words "male privilege" in class, and she is very concerned about how that is related to ELA (she said "reading"), and she is concerned about this being taught in public schools. To be clear, I didn't do a lesson on this subject but we did discuss rights versus privileges. I've had multiple parents contact the school/get upset with me because of things like his. It's exhausting... Thoughts?

Back when I was getting started in the food world, I worked flipping burgers at In-n-Out. A man came in and said the burgers he had gotten weren’t right. He dumped the food on the counter and then he started throwing them back behind the counter. We gave him a refund and then his demeanor completely changed. He was calmer and he told us to have a great day as he left us to clean up the mess he made.

Once when I was waiting tables, I had a guy pay me cash. The change was 45 cents, which I didn't give back to him because like who wants that. He then asked where the change was, and when I explained that I didn't give back the loose change, he made a big stink about how dollars and cents matter and didn't leave me a tip. He was a republican staffer on capitol hill.
