Employees-Getting-Back-At-Rude-Customers
40 years ago, I was putting myself through school working at the San Gabriel Country Club. One quiet lazy Saturday afternoon I was working in the bar area when a Party of five comes in and seats themselves. The party was hosted by former Los Angeles Rams legend and star of TV's Father Murphy, Merlin Olsen, who was one of my heroes when I was a kid growing up. That particular day Merlin Olsen was a di**k. He gestured to me and says, "Hey, make yourself useful and take our drink orders". He says "Start with me. I'll have a vodka tonic". So I listened to everyone else give their drink orders, but I'm not writing this down because I can remember this. Merlin's watching me and he's a little agitated. When I get done, he looks at me and says "How you going to remember all that? You didn't write any of that down?". I said, "Don't worry about it. I got it". He looks at me and says "Do you know who I am?". I said, "Yeah, you're the vodka tonic"

Christmas Eve 2017 I am six months pregnant, waddling my fat a** around the store. And I'm trying to help this woman and it turns out we don't have in stock what she wants and she just starts losing her f*****g s**t, because we've ruined her Christmas by not having the item in stock. We'd had it since September., she'd just waited till Christmas Eve to get it, but whatever. She even took digs at my unborn child, like what the f**k? After she left, we realized she'd left behind a bunch of shopping she'd done at other stores. And I could see her she was still just outside the store. I could have watered my fat pregnant a** that she just insulted out to go give her bags back. But I didn't. Instead I took them to center management that were closing in five minutes time, which means whatever was in those bags, she didn't get back until Boxing Day. You want to accuse me of ruining Christmas I'll do it properly, b***hEmployees-Getting-Back-At-Rude-Customers

So I don't recall if it was 1998 or 1999, yes, it was a long time ago, but there was an Oscar De La Jolla fight and I was doing tech support at the Cox Communications, a local cable company. Someone called in really frantic saying, "Hey, I have a house full of people and all this food that I bought for the fight and it's not working". And I was like, "Sure, no problem. Let me go out and get it taken care of". Did my little thing send a signal to the box. Everything came up. I hear a cheer in the background, "Oh, yeah, it's on, it's on its on". So the guy on the phone was like, "Alright, man, it's on, it's on. What's your name?". When I say "Oh, my name is Javier". He goes "Oh, thanks a lot, you f*****g spik". So I immediately turned that fight off, refunded the money and put notes in the account so that nobody would turn the fight back on. I checked the next day and he called multiple times. Absolutely nobody turned that fight on. I win

So I worked for Starbucks for about seven years before I finally left. And if someone was really, really rude to me, I would do a very minor thing to make their beverage so much better. Like with a frappuccino, I blend it with cold brew, or other little tips and tricks like to give them a better-tasting drink. Because the next time they go to order their beverage, they're going to order it the exact same way and they will never get a drink as good as they did that one time. They will not know what was wrong with it. They will not know what the difference was, and they will never be able to have a drink that tastes that good ever again. And that makes me satisfied.Employees-Getting-Back-At-Rude-Customers
A cop came into my store with no mask in his uniform. I didn't notice until he was leaving, so I said, 'Sir, next time you come in, I need you to put on a mask.' He looks me dead in the eyes and said, 'I have a medical condition. What are you gonna do about it?' I was pissed, so I looked at his badge, and then I later called the police department and told them. Ever since then, every time he comes in, he's wearing a mask. Every time.Employees-Getting-Back-At-Rude-Customers
A man came in, placed an order, and got snippy with a coworker who misheard him. I looked him in the eye and frowned at him and told him, softly, like I was talking to a child (and he was in his 60s) "I'd appreciate it if you would treat her kindly." It caught him off guard He ended up fidgeting and shuffling and quietly apologized to both of us, and was nice the rest of the visit.

I met Renee Zellweger and she was so much kinder than I ever could have imagined. This was when hurricane Harvey hit Texas. I was working at Austin Pets Alive and we took in thousands of animals from hard hit areas. It was insane. One day Renee Zellweger just showed up to volunteer. No warning, no fanfare. In fact, the only reason I noticed her is that she was wearing long sleeves and long pants and it was august in Texas. She spent a week volunteering. She did laundry, cleaned out poop covered crates, and drove vans of dogs from Houston to Austin (not a pleasant job with the smell and the barking). I hope this doesnât get buried because she was truly amazing. So so nice and hardworking. The laundry room was next to my office so we became friendly over the week she was there. There are multiple news articles about this so itâs legit. Forever a fan. Lynne Hammar • upvoted 2 items 1 week ago

Ex Dunkin employee here: decaf, no questions asked. But when the frosting in the donuts was melty, I would put it in the bag upside downEmployees-Getting-Back-At-Rude-Customers
