Last week I joined a Zoom call still half-asleep, thinking my camera was off. I took a massive bite of toast, only to see everyone staring. Turns out I was screen-sharing instead of muted—so the entire team watched me chew like a cow while my inbox popped up with 200 unread emails. My boss just said, “Productive morning, huh?” I wanted to vanish. Be honest—would you pretend it never happened or own it like a pro?

If I worked from home and was able to do my work and eat at the same time, you can bet I'll most likely be eating. 😂

At a different job I had a customer trying to swindle me in telling me that there was a deal in an item that never had a deal or promotion for sale so he made me scan the item 20 times before believing me. Obviously, he finally let it go but I scan it with an inventory scanner that showed me all of the sale price promotions if there were any

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.
