We had someone call out of work one day because they weren’t feeling good and they had their friend who didn’t work there but had experience with food go into work for them. My manager didn’t even kick them out. They just let them work.

funny

Showed up to my old restaurant to start setting up for brunch and found my manager passed out drunk in the back office. Turned out his girlfriend had kicked him out of their apartment and he'd been sleeping there for god knows how long. The owners lived overseas and he ran pretty much everything, so it kind of made sense that he could get away with it. He didn't wake up so I walked out quietly and pretended like I'd just got there when he finally woke up. Wild and pretty sad honestly since he was a decent guy.

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.
