It is the weekend..so I want to try out weird weekend work stories! I have had some odd customers in my life, and odd coworkers. For example one girl decided to do cartwheels down the work floor ( since there was no managers there). Do you have stories like this?

I once had a coworker transform an empty aisle into a spontaneous yoga studio at 3 PM it was like a complete youga class with tumbling mats and calming chants to bond with customers. It was actually very fun!

That's actually kind of fun, lol. I haven't been able to do cartwheels in a while. I remember we had one customer that would return half a rotisserie chicken every single week. Literally, every single week, they would return half a chicken. After eating the other half. He became kind of a local legend.

I have a coworker who is autistic and loves to remind everyone she is autistic. But sometimes I think she does it to excuse her behavior. For instance she is always burping very loudly and then saying "I'm autistic" after she does it. Like that makes it okay

Of course, this same store had special needs kids from the group home readily stop in on their "day out", in part because we were welcoming, and in part because they felt safe.

But we would occasionally have customers complain about their "loud behaviour" (at least a couple thought they were employees). I probably took too much glee in informing the customers of their special needs status, and making the customer feel like a jerk. But hey, don't disrespect differently abled people on my watch.

Curious to know what you've seen as working to non working dollars split in Canadian agencies. Reference any specific brands (or categories) if you can. I'm used to seeing the conventional 15-20% split for non working (production dollars only, not including media budget, agency fees) but are those days gone now with the takeover of digital (vs traditional) ad placements?

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.
