More than a few decades ago I worked at Denny's. I had two male customers that decided to dine and dash. Got their license plate number and reported it to the cops and jokingly mentioned that they didn't even tip! Later that night they got pulled over for DUI, cops recognized license plate number from the report, brought them both back to the restaurant and forced them to pay the bill. After he was done paying, the cop just stood there and looked at them and said well? The guy sheepishly handed me my tip.

Repost as I've told this story before. It was about three years ago. An employee, we'll call him Dave, was working at my retail store when two customers walk in at about the same time, one black, one white. Dave was being trained on register after being there for only a month or so with the manager standing behind him. The two customers get to the register at about the same time, but the black man beat him there. The black man then has the audacity to ask how good the product was before he bought it, and the white man behind him said,"Do I really have to wait for this f*****g n****r to be done?" The black man was unfazed, but Dave said "Sir, please don't use slurs like that or I am going to have to ask you to leave." White man: "Oh, big man? you going to make me leave, big man? Because I called this n****r a f*****g n****r?" Dave(6"5'): "Yes, I am a big man, and you have to leave now." White man: "F*****g fight me then, big man! I'll f*****g destroy you!" Dave: "Alright, I will. Let me clock out and grab my stuff and I'll meet you outside." The white man was a little surprised by the fact that he accepted. Dave turned to the manager and said, "Thank you so much for the opportunity, but I'm afraid I have to quit." Manager: "Dave, I get it, but you don't have to do this." Dave: "Yes I do." The white man was getting himself pumped up outside as Dave clocked out, grabbed his coat and his Pepsi, and walked outside where he sucker-punched the white man in the cheekbone, sprawling him out onto the curb. Dave drove off. TL;DR: Dave politely quit so he could knock a racist customer out with a single punch.anon reply

Working the window at Mcdonalds late night. Guy orders whatever and pulls up to the window. I'm cooking and handling the window, so I wasn't there when the customer pulled up. When I walked up to the window, I didn't see the f****r with trash in his lap. I open the window to take his card/cash and he throws a bag of trash at me. I take a step back, bothered that I just got trash thrown at me, and I watch his car speed off. I'm pissed, but there's nothing I can do. A couple seconds later I hear a small bang of metal on metal. I walk to the lobby and look out the windows. The douchebag slammed into a police cruiser who was about to loop around and use the drive thru himself. Of course I also went to tell the officer what just happened inside.

Worked at a telecom in Canada (I am no longer an employee thank god) Lady comes in with a broken iPhone is demanding to get a new one for free. If you don't know, in Canada the iPhone 6s is going for about $400 upfront on a two year contract at a minimum $80 plan. She had a good plan, but wanted it for free. She called up our loyalty team in store and spent the next two hours screaming at them. Finally, they agree to a deal, and she is getting it for zero. She looks at me and goes I do not want a case, and AppleCare is a scam. (We work on commission, so this essentially meant I was getting nothing and ruining my numbers). She keeps telling me to hurry up through the setup and I was trying to get them out of the store with everything transferred over and set up. She grabs the phone and starts marching off saying I was a terrible employee. She gets three steps out of the store and drops the phone. Shattered screen, and white screen of death. She ran back in asking what I can do. I shrug and went 'Sorry, but AppleCare sure would have helped eh?' EDIT: The cell phone dream got me gold... Thank you kind stranger

A friend of mine was in a 6 month coma after an accident. Afterwards he made sure to tell everyone around him to talk to people in a coma because they can hear you. BUT he noted that they should always tell the person in a coma what happened, where they are and what's happening to them because he said that his moments of lucidity were mixed with some truly horrifying dreams and he had trouble distinguishing between what was real and what were dreams. He said he just wanted to be told what was real and what was happening. Gurnox • upvoted 4 items 1 week ago
So You Don't Want To Accept My Vacation Request?
I had put in vacation for 2 days to go back home for my grandpa’s bday 4 months in advance. Request gets accepted. 2 weeks before my vacation, there is a shift change and now my trip would take up a whole week of work. I inform my boss that I’ll be taking a whole week now, he tells me that’s fine and to go update the vacation request. I go to HR to update my request, instead of just changing the date range the HR person tries to delete the request and make a new one. Only problem is we were in a vacation blackout time (no new requests get accepted for that month because of workload), so they end up canceling my vacation and then go “oh whoops looks like you can’t put in a new request too bad”. My boss gets pissed and has my back but HR isn’t budging, not the first time our department has been screwed over. I tell HR “I’m still going on vacation. I’m not gonna miss out on seeing my family because you guys are incompetent. Fire me or don’t fire me, I don’t really care at this point.” My boss tells me to enjoy my time off and we can worry about stuff when I get back from break. Grandpa’s bday was great, had fun seeing the family and friends from back home. I come back after a week and I’m still employed. Boss and boss’s boss explained to HR that I’m the only one in our department who’s qualified to do what I do, and if they want to lose a bunch of money getting a 3rd party contractor to replace me than that’s their right to, they’ll just have to explain to the finance officer and general manager why we’d be bleeding money all of a sudden. I don’t work there anymore but I hope my old boss is doing well, he was a homie. Side story, that same boss took 2 weeks of vacation when the Shadowlands expansion of WoW released. Man’s got his priorities straight haha. When I asked him what did he tell HR and his boss he was like “Those people don’t need to know what I do or don’t do with my vacation time, I’m taking my vacation time.”Show All 4 Upvotes

Well I remember savage beatings at the hands of my parents and siblings but now that I’m an adult everyone denies it they say it never happened and I feel my mind slowly slipping away, I think I’m crazy.
