That's right! I want to hear about the bullshit you had to deal with at work this week. Shoutout to those who are working for the weekend and working on the weekend!

This is a work vent thread, if that isn't clear. I might make this a Friday ritual.

I don't have any work complaints ( yet ), but I'm beginning a food service job next week after years of being unemployed. I'm honestly dreading it. I knew there was a good chance I would end up working in customer service again since I don't have any college education, but food service specifically just fucking sucks. Having to constantly deal with asshole customers who are extremely rude and picky about about their food is not something I wanted to return to. Unfortunately I'm in a position right now where I can't be choosey about where I'd prefer to work and had to accept the soonest offer. I'm just hoping that this place won't be total hell for me and that I'm able to endure it long enough to save some money.

God speed comrade, I believe in you! Working customer service is a thankless taxing gig. I worked in a grocery store for almost a decade in various low level roles, and it was trash most of the time.
