This is my new strategy..... we tipping everyone else but my terrible server....

[@DionneHunter]

Michael Sweeney Its a double edge sword... Because they see you, and believe you’re not going to tip so they give you sub par service, and it turns into a self fulfilling prophecy) so as the customer you are pissed that you can see how they are treating and speaking to other customers and the speed of service for others so you as a customer reflect that in your tip, then they, the server get pissed because you tipped poorly, and they continue to think it’s because black people don’t tip well and they treat the next person of color poorly too.

[@sonnylisten8131]

That is a good one, never thought of that

[@PaintedHoundie]

@@DionneHunter that's the service people's fault to me. you don't pick and choose what service to give people, let alone the fact black people notice that shit and will not give you shit because of that. everyone experience is different, but ive never been to any spot, got excellent service and we didnt tip, its usually shitty service people are hesitant to tip for. its a dumb stereotype to me, because people are basically admitting they give other groups of people better service. if they flipped the script, and gave shitty service to everyone else, they'd get less tips from those people.

[@2x4yellowbrick]

I feel like he used the chair for a lot more than just a hypothetical shopping cart. Prior to him standing up, he laid out the premise for the joke in a calm collected mood until he knew the audience understood where he was headed. Then he used a physical action(standing up from sitting) as a way to shift his tone in the narrative without the pace of the joke getting thrown off. The presentation of frustration was rehearsed and perfected.

[@amanialex8235]

they have bags for your meats my dude. just grab one or two of those and stuff your meats in em together. i get 1 bag for each type of meat im grabbing. they might take it out to scan it but they put it back in that bag and then into a new bag by itself. every time. i dunno bro maybe this helps relieve some stress in your everyday life.. just know you are using more bags this way and ultimately killing everyone just a little bit .. for some that's a trade off and for others that too is a source of relief.

I just find him hilarious ❤️ !!! The delivery is always 🔥. Also, I have worked in a fast food chain as a student (cash register / hostess) and I can not agree more !!! I did the orientation. I know how we're supposed to treat people. It is literally part of the job, so do the freaking job ! It absolutely blows my mind when the waiters can't bring themselves to smile or welcome you properly (same for cashiers), like, am I upsetting you by being a client to your workplace ? Did we fight without me noticing ?? So yeah, I hate the entitlement culture in the US. 'No but you HAVE to tip ! They don't make a lot' ... How do you know how much I make ? Does it mean it's fine to receive subpar service and REWARD it ? In the Netherlands, apparently people also EXPECT to be tipped because xy or z... But at least, some of the waiters actually try to be extra agreeable. In France, we tip if and when we feel like it. But never will a bad waiter or waitress see a tip. It's earned, not owed 😒

My grocery chain's training sucks. I'm that guy who doesn't know where anything is, but I also work in the seafood section, so I can't leave and peruse the store to study it all ( wouldn't matter if I did, memory sucks ), and I don't know anything about seafood because the management doesn't even know anything about seafood, so I've got to take it upon myself to learn on my own, and let me tell you all, I've never been a good learner. So it pisses me off when people are rude about me not knowing anything, when I can't even get any proper training and help. Plus, nothing's in a logical place. Put the damn almond and soy milk with the other milk! Why the hell not?

[@mamatoucan9993]

You don’t put the tetra pack almond milk with the refrigerated cow milk because that refrigeration space is more valuable. If you can display it on the shelf without it going bad, that’s what you do.

He is sooooo right!! 💯💯 I HATE the kind of customer service that people are considering acceptable! I’m a server and I KNOW without a doubt that if I give crappy service, I’m NOT PAYING MY BILLS! Lol Unfortunately, not all customer service workers live off tips, maybe more of them should and just maybe they’d give better service! Walmart and McDonald’s are the worst!! I actually had a shift manager tell me to google the customer service number because she didn’t know it. Well, I didn’t expect her to actually know the number, but what I did expect was her to make an effort to see what my problem was to begin with, maybe she could’ve fixed it without me calling the higher ups, but nope… She didn’t even take the time to even pretend to care, she just said that she didn’t know it or where it was so I should just google it. 😂💀

He sounds like meeeee!! I hate that I be like out all my cold stuff together and double bag it

[@Nephibis]

I understand the Almond Milk situation from the perspective of the people working there because I didn't even know Almond milk existed until a customer asked me where it was. My 1st thought was "what the fuck is almond milk?" I assumed it would be where the milk was because it had milk in the name, but it wasn't there. What customers don't understand is that there are so many products in the store that no 1 person can know everything the store has and where it is. Customers ask for stuff they use, so they would have a hint of an idea of where something might be, but an associate who doesn't use that specific item isn't even going to know where to begin to look, so there is several times more of a chance that you are going to find that thing. Stores typically put things together based on how they are used and since you use it you would know what similar things are used in the process of using it and that helps you find it where as that person who doesn't use it wouldn't even recognize those things. Not to mention they have no idea what they are looking for. They only have a name and in their head they are seeing an object with no shape, color or anything and it could look like anything in existence and on top of that we typically don't know how it is used and even if we were told chances are we wouldn't know because we aren't familiar enough with the process of using it to know where it is to begin with., so they could look right at it and not know, because they don't use it. The purpose of yelling where it is isn't for the customer that was looking, but so the other people can stop looking and so they know where it is when another person asks in the future. When you work at a store they don't give you a map or tell you were everything is. That would take months if not years of training. There are people who work at stores for years and there is still a few things they can't tell you were they are. The customer only thinks of things from the perspective of what they want, but don't understand from the perspective of someone who doesn't use the same things they use. Customers forget that we are only human and not a robot with every detail of the store embedded into our brains.
