I remember once a guy was walking around literally biting into produce and spitting it on the floor. My boss ended up following him out, and as he’s leaving, the guy starts chucking phones cases at people. Security barely had time to react before he was out the door, and everyone in the store was just standing there like, did that really just happen?

You just never know what kind of chaos you’re gonna run into on shift.

Ever had a shift that went totally off the rails like that?

All I can say is that we really need to do better with mental health resources. It makes me sad seeing and hearing stories like this because that's a person clearly struggling with something we know nothing about that they also likely cannot explain. If only we could help people BEFORE it gets to this point, you know?

They (we) need to bring back insane asylums/mental institutions. When they closed them all down they started walking the streets and neighborhoods. They don’t belong on the streets! I’m convinced we do not have a homeless problem! We have small homes available to them, but they are not willing to live there free of charge because they don’t want to live by the rules: No Drugs, no alcohol and no smoking in them. It’s their choice to live on the streets. Get them off the streets and out of our neighborhoods and put them in a mental institution/insane asylum.

When I was in school I worked nights in a restaurant and sometimes we'd get deranged people wandering in and yelling obscenities. Some of the big guys working in the back would run out and grab the person and hustle them back outside. Luckily no one ever got hurt, but it always seemed like a situation that could get dangerous very quickly.

I’m so sorry that happened to you but it sure got me laughing and I shared your story with my friend and we both laughed! Thanks for bringing us joy!

Wow, that’s next-level chaos. I’ve had shifts go sideways, but nothing quite that cinematic.

That is my crazy story of the week..pinning.

Wow I’m glad no one was seriously hurt

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.
