Café boss forces customers to pay 75 cents for tap water, then nixes the policy when an employee makes him explain it to customers: ‘My boss handles all questions about the water policy.’
Charging money for tap water is ridiculous. Nickel-and-diming customers has been a business strategy with debatable effectiveness, depending on the business. If you go to a grocery store in NYC, there’s a good chance that you will be asked to pay for your grocery bags. It’s a way for the company to make a couple …

Evening shift employee constantly arrives 15 minutes late at 5:15, day shift coworker stops staying after her shift ends at 5:00 to cover for her: ‘By 5:05, I decided I was leaving.’
The manager needs to solve the lateness problem, because simply enabling it doesn’t solve it. If there’s one thing I hate, it’s tardiness. I’m not talking about someone being late once, but rather chronic lateness that persists without resolution. I know that every time I hang out with one friend that shall remain nameless, the …

23-year-old employee refuses to cover her 26-year-old coworker’s shifts until she repays the $800 she lent her 15 months ago: ‘I’ve covered at least 14 of her shifts this past year, and she has never covered for me.’
She’s only paid her back $100 of the $800 she «borrowed» over a year ago. When you lend money to somebody, your relationship totally changes. If you gift your children or grandchildren a down payment for a house that you never expect to get back, that’s totally different. But if you lend them that money …

18-year-old barista refuses to speak after her manager says she’s not paid to talk to her coworkers: ‘I went completely silent. No greetings. No “excuse me.” Just silent working robot mode.’
This one goes out to all of the kids who got in trouble for talking too much in class. I was always an attentive student who wanted to be as well-behaved as possible. I hated getting in trouble, and the one thing I ever got in trouble for in Elementary School was talking too much. …

Holidays are supposed to be a time to relax, but if you’ve ever attended a family gathering, you know that «relaxation» is often the first thing to go out the window.

Nobody wants to bring their work home with them. It doesn’t matter if you’re working on an oil rig, in retail, or even in radiology: time off from work is not when you want to be doing your job for free for family members. It’s undoubtedly one thing to willingly cook a Michelin star-level meal …
