I live in Louisiana and it seems like pretty much everywhere has sweet and unsweet tea. I know because I always ask for unsweet and people think it's weird because pretty much no one wants unsweet but they always seem to have it.

Yay for supervisors who stand up to asshole customers!

I don't even see what independent coffee shops have to do with anything here. I'm pretty sure places like Starbucks don't put the cream and sugar in the coffee for you. I mean sure, there's drinks like lattes and frappachinos that come with milk or sugar in them, but I'm pretty sure if you order a regular coffee or…

Certainly #notalloldpeople but it does seem like the majority of dick customers are old, at least in my experience. In college I worked at a Subway right off campus so nearly all of the customers were students and I rarely ever had any assholes-which part of the I'm sure is a lot of students also are in service jobs…

Yes, they're probably making fun of you, but as long as they you're not asking for something that requires a ton of extra work or being a complete asshole they probably don't mind.

I used to be a cashier at a grocery store and at the time alcohol couldn't be sold on Sundays, but soooo many people forgot so when I was ringing them up I would *love* to snatch wine and liquor off the belt and be like "nope you can't have this today". I know it sounds super petty but when you're 17 and working in…

Uh, yes you most definitely did. Just go back and read your original post.

Yes, and a lot of times they are just kids anyways! Since waittressing usually gets you more money but requires you to have a liquor license which means being 18+ a lot of restaurants hire younger girls to be hostesses.

So then what is your point? You say how much crap people tolerate is up to them but it really isn't. If you go get a manager the majority of the time if a customer is paying and not being violent they are just going to tell you to put up with it to make them happy.

haha I wasn't defending it, just saying that was probably the most likely explanation.

It's funny you say that because one time when I was in college my mom found out how much air traffic controllers make and kept telling me I should go to school to learn how to do that, because every week she is coming up with a new career that I should do.

Most places would fire you if you kicked out a customer because they had a special request. Unless a customer is actually threatening to assault you or something, you probably won't get any support from management for throwing someone out, and even then it's usually best to just let a manager handle the situation. So…

I used to be a hostess and it was the worst. I was supposed to rotate between sections so that all the servers would get about the same amount of customers but sooooo many people would come in and just be like "can we sit there?" And then you have to let them if they have a request but then all the servers would be…

What coffee shop only has raw sugar though?

Deep frying it isn't the same as putting poison on it, and he obviously liked how it tasted that way if he kept ordering it. And what is wrong with charging $20 for a WHOLE FREAKING BOWL of dressing? Considering that plenty of places will charge like $2 for an extra tiny cup of dressing, $20 for a whole bowl sounds…

Um, no, you really can't if you're not a manager.

My guess is she just didn't like tomato sauce or only wanted a tiny tiny bit so she lied about being allergic.

That's what my grandmother did, too. Nothing could have any pink in it, not even steak.

How do you even hand squeeze coleslaw? I'm imagining scooping up a bunch of coleslaw in your hands and twisting it like you squeeze out a rag and it seems like you would just get coleslaw everywhere and not get any of the mayo out.

Well considering that you usually pay a dollar or two to get an extra tiny cup of dressing, $20 sounds about right for a whole goddamn bowl.
