Being a young woman working in the service industry is all about being able to put up with a constant barrage of humiliation and abuse.

‘Think about poor robot!’: Self checkout kiosk asks customers to tip, sparks confusion and outrage
I understand the common cultural sentiment that tipping has gone too far. I don’t think that we need to abolish the system altogether because, under a tipping system, waiters and bartenders are actually able to make a living wage in America. I don’t trust that if waiters were making a fair hourly wage, they would …

‘Your kid needs a bath like yesterday’: Workers share things they aren’t allowed to tell customers at their job

This is a safe space for people to air out some of their petty revenge and malicious compliences, especially when it comes to the little guy refusing to surrender to big institutes that try to take advantage of them.

‘Leave immediately’: Manager kicks server off shift, ordering them to go home and change clothes in order to comply with dress code
Enforcing a dress code on employees is a tale as old as time. And in some cases, I get it. You knew what you were getting into when starting working there. Other times, I don’t get it. That is, when managers are inconsistent in terms of their expectations. One day they say this, the other …

‘A woman said if I gave her regular instead of decaf she was gonna make a voodoo doll of me’: 20+ Service workers reveal their worst customer horror stories
One thing I remain eternally grateful for is that I don’t currently have a job where I have to interact with the general public.

‘Ain’t no way I’m making that delivery’: Delivery person calls out customer for letting neighbor’s dog roam in yard
Dog people are not always the easiest to deal with. They’re onto something when they say it’s not about bad dogs, but rather bad owners.
