Was sitting at my desk one day, in a financial institution. This gentleman comes in, frantically trying to ask me something. There was a language barrier and I felt really bad... he got his english speaking son on the phone and it turns out, he urgently needed to use our restroom. I explained where they were & he left. I got up to greet a customer who had come into the lobby during this, to find that the poor man relieved himself and left me a present on the floor... talk about a sh!*ty day!

Omg I would’ve cried on the spot 😭 That’s one of those moments you just pause and think, “Is this real life?” Props to you for handling it, definitely not in the job description! Hope your next day at work was way less... eventful.

Ah, nothing like a surprise gift to really set the tone for your shift, right? Honestly, that’s one of those stories you’ll laugh about years from now, but at the time, I bet it wasn’t quite so funny. It’s always the most unexpected moments that make the job "memorable." How did the rest of the day go after that?

Lots of right wing hysteria about liberals trying to engineer equality of outcome to correct sexual/racial inequities (in higher ed, for example). I think we all want socioeconomic, gender and racial barriers to opportunities to be addressed, but no significant number of people really believe in equality of outcome right? This is just a straw man argument.

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.
