Dear Lady who came in ten minutes before closing last night:

Thank you for running into my store at the last minute and ordering a coffee carafe for twelve people while on your cellphone.
Yes, the coffee machine had already been cleaned and shut down, so you can understand the look on my face when you proceeded to bark at me about "how long this would take" during a break in your personal conversation.
You can also understand my tone of voice when I replied "Listen lady, your lack of planning is not my problem" and why I was so surprised when you insisted in your OWN tone of voice that you "were on the road, and had no possible way of calling ahead of time".

I'd like to note that I observed from your conversation that you were the owner of a competing coffee shop, and you had somehow fucked up your own coffee order, so now you were taking our coffee to sell in your shop.
So you'll understand, of course, when your customers return to you to tell you that the coffee is cold.

It is cold, wench. I gave you the old shit.
And I gave myself a nice $10.00 tip on your AMEX.

You signed the receipt and everything, because you were so involved in your phone conversation.
So THANKS. WE APPRECIATE YOUR BUSINESS.

No longer working there but...

No boss, you cannot take these four nasty women to table 31. We have a 2 hour waitlist you dirty scumbag. And if I take the nice family of four that's already been waiting for an hour to eat and I see you seating the hags at MY table that I walked four flights of stairs to get to, I will pass the family onto your responsibilities and take a 20 minute cigarette break just like you always do. You'll be left with only one other host to manage the 50+ people patiently (or not so patiently) waiting for a table and YOU can run up and down four flights of stairs to seat people. When I get back, I will wander the restaurant under the pretense of writing down "open" tables but really I'll be flirting with the new waiter in the atrium. If you ask where I've been, I'll tell you that the damn electronic handheld isn't working on the new side again. And then I will sit at the bar (against the rules) and order the most expensive thing off the menu right before the kitchen closes and making you pay for it. Thanks, boss!

*If only I had the balls to actually DO any of this while I was actually working there...

Dear Boss, I write this note to tell you of my plight
And at the time of writing I am not a pretty sight
My body is all black and blue, my face a deathly gray
And I hope you understand why Paddy's not at work today

While working on the fourteenth floor, some bricks I had to clear
And to throw them down from off the top seemed quite a good idea
But the foreman wasn't very pleased, he was an awful sod
He said I had to cart them down the ladder in me hod

Well clearing all those bricks by hand, it seemed so very slow
So I hoisted up a barrel and secured the rope below
But in my haste to do the job, I was too blind to see
That a barrel full of building bricks is heavier than me

So when I had untied the rope, the barrel fell like lead
And clinging tightly to the rope I started up instead
I took off like a rocket and to my dismay I found
That half way up I met the bloody barrel coming down

Well the barrel broke my shoulder as to the ground it sped
And when I reached the top I banged the pulley with me head
I held on tight, though numb with shock from this almighty blow
And the barrel spilled out half its load fourteen floors below

Now when those building bricks fell from the barrel to the floor
I then outweighed the barrel so I started down once more
I held on tightly to the rope as I flew to the ground
And I landed on those building bricks that were all scattered 'round

Now as I lay there on the deck I thought I'd passed the worst
But when the barrel reached the top, that's when the bottom burst
A shower of bricks came down on me, and I didn't have a hope
And as I was losing conciousness, I let go the bloody rope

The barrel being heavier, it started down once more
And landed right on top of me as I lay there on the floor
It broke three ribs and my left arm, and I can only say
That I hope you'll understand why Paddy's not at work today

pizza delivery and pizza cook. best jobs ever.

except when everyone you work with in the kitchen are illegals from ecuador and do not speak english well, and it's friday night rush.
just about shit myself when we got 5 orders for 6 pizzas each, in addition to the regular 500-700 pizzas we serve daily.
plus 12+ hour shifts in the kitchen can be complete bullshit.

worst job i've ever had was a produce clerk for a freshmarket. basically had to stock shelves, check the freshness of the fruits and vegetables, collect shopping lists for customers, and make massive amounts of Fruit Salad, Orange Juice, and other produce related foods. It was great until you realize that you're opening and closing the store by yourself and in between you rotate all the fruits and vegetables, make close to 100 gallons of OJ and 50 pounds of fruit salad every day.
last week of august 2-3 years back (ya know when its 100+ every day with 90% humidity), the AC, coolers, and freezers all break and things become less than fresh. well, literally tons of fruit vegetables meats .... anything that needs to be stored in less than 60 degrees began to warm up, rot, spoil, and smell like shit. we had to close shop and get rid of all the stock that went bad. shit was piled high and myself and the other POS clerk that worked with me were in charge of throwing it all out. well fucktard didn't want to work so he just left. when the job wasn't done at closing time i got chewed out for not finishing. the other guy got fired when the boss found out he just peaced but i was still knee deep in shit (literally).

No, I don't know where that theater is, I don't care if you want more coffee, and I could give two fucks if you need more towels. My piercings don't hurt, your trip down here doesn't interest me and I don't fucking like you. If you are going to have your three kids, two dogs, wife and mother in the room with two queen beds at least try to clean up after yourself. I don't want to touch your filth, crumbs, wrappers, food, drinks, cups, clothes, wet towels, or anything that may have come into contact with your filthy body you disgusting piece of shit. I wake up before you do and 9 am ready to start my job before you even wake up, so when you complain because I haven't cleaned your room yet why don't you take a look at your door handle and analyze the "maid, please make up this room" sign. On that note, if you dont want me knocking on your door at 9 am, flip the sign around and it says "Do Not Disturb". That should keep me away. Last but not least, if you are going to leave a filthy mess, you might want to leave a nice tip so the housekeeper doesn't spit in your pillow.

My job isn't too bad, I just hate tourists who think that because I live here I know every street name.

Dear old man knows everything about technology because you worked in "the broadcasting business" on transmitters and cathode ray tudes and have dodged bullets will others took them yet at the same time have issues swapping out RAM on your replacement computer. No I will not give you a new machine because you can't deal with modern technology. No I will not have a repair shop drop of a new computer for you. How about you go through the normal process like everyone else does?

Sometimes I question people's sense of entitlement and its origin...

boss! the "5 second rule" is not actually a rule! it's just a thing you say when you're going to eat something off the floor anyway because you don't give a fuck.

holy shit no! wtf are you doing? are you seriously trying to get someone to eat the sandwich that fell onto the floor, was thrown into the trash can, and least of all picked out of it by your health department violating unlgoved hands?

I don't care anymore what the fuck happens here I just want it to go away.

Random stuff I hated at my last job that I held for 7 and a half years:

Any customer that EVER asked "What looks good today?" These were usually regulars that had been eating at the restaurant and coming by usually once a week since I fucking STARTED there. WTF morons, you know what type of food we serve - you know what the fucks on the menu. Fuck off.

Working with 85% teenagers. Had to deal with all their high school bullshit and pseudo teen angst/drama. "Hey bitch, I know what we do here isn't exactly rocket science, but could you at least put your goddamn phone down and stop texting for an entire 30 seconds to help me get their order finished!!??" Plus them asking me ALL the time to buy them beer, and when I'd say yeah I'd do it (say they wanted a 30 pack or something), and I'd ask for a few bucks for my trouble (they would often call me when I was off or at home) and they give me lip and a completely confused reaction, like I just kicked their mother in the mouth because I asked for a few bucks to buy THEM beer.

The fact that over the 7 and a half years I worked there, we were ALWAYS understaffed because my boss was far too much of a tightwad to hire more people. Thus resulted in the fact that working a 12-13 hour day soon became common practice. Not to mention on mornings when we'd have a mountain of catering orders to work on in addition to trying to get our morning prep work done for the day. It was always an uphill battle.

Only reason I worked there for as long as I did was cause I got paid well and never had to pay for a cell phone, and got a free iPhone outta that and that my boss was actually pretty understanding about working with me and my schedule when I was in college.

Dear Manager,
I refuse to spray myself down with your coconut body spray after every damn cigarette break because you are apparently deathly allergic to the smell of cigarette smoke. No. You can ask me more, but no. Also, you ask me my secret for staying thin. I don't have one. But if you're gonna ask, don't talk shit on veganism. Because that might be a good start for losing weight, what with the cutting of your fat intake by about 80%. FYI.
Love,
Morgan

Dear coworkers,
You've all been working here as long as I have. Stop asking like my superiors, fuckers, or I will be forced to beat you into a coma with the Twilight display.
Love, Morgan

I work at Hot Topic.
