You ever notice how some things at work just test your patience in the funniest ways? Like the shopping carts with that one janky wheel that makes the loud thunk-thunk-thunk all the way across the store. You already know customers are gonna abandon those halfway through and grab another one.

What’s the most annoying “broken equipment” you’ve had to deal with at work?

Oh, for me it was the card reader that only worked if you tilted it just right—like swiping a credit card should not feel like cracking a safe.

Our phone is so jacked up that it can only be answered on speaker. So, let's say a customer calls with a complaint... any customers checking out or browsing near the phone system hear the whole conversation. It's really great.

Hey team! So I was laid off from my SDR position about a week ago. A couple months back, I had an offer for a BDR position that I ended up turning down but I really liked and connected with the manager. Is it worth it to reach out? I applied to other positions in the same company. What about reaching out to previous co workers at a different company? Not sure how to navigate this… please help. Also I’m sorry if this is the wrong bowl to post in.

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.
