It's just not having it.

So, we are currently... Shall we tell them how hot it is? How hot? It's 21 degrees here in the UK. And when we say we've got a different type of heat it's because it's so muggy and humid that we're just sweating. It's just awful at the minute. We had a lovely thunderstorm yesterday, didn't we?

I thought it would clear it, but no. Where I am, I'm on a hill and it was so foggy this morning. From all the rain? I thought, ooh. I like it. Is it going to be one of those days and then it wasn't no it was it it was turning out well it's meant this is meant to be it now it's meant it's meant to

be cooling down and we're meant to be this is the last day my whole living room in the heat this is meant to be the last day you're an i didn't i'm not the weatherman i'm just telling you what they say not that they're ever right you got it yeah okay okay let's do it i've got quite a lot actually yeah i always say more than more than i'm going to need in case i'm like flicking through and I'm like no I don't want to do that one do you know what I mean yeah I'm gonna go this way oh my gosh don't start already I didn't mean to so my boys were on holiday and they were then diverted to a different airport and then was diverted back to London Gatwick so they landed really early this morning but I literally spent the whole time following their plane because you know the thunderstorms are not you're worried I've watched too many films manifest she was waiting for them to come back in five years time where she's aged but they've remained the same yeah yeah no I feel the same yeah might go on a lad's holiday in october yeah we might come with you

yeah i was like you're 16 bro probably not like you're not allowed on allowed to do that well i we did but my mum and aunt sharon came with us fine which was you know they did actually stay completely out of our way they didn't bother us at all but they kept us out of trouble because we actually had our it's not that it's that poor boy that's just you know been found deceased and i'm like uh i feel like you're not going away no our hotel tried to chuck us out for being rowdy rowdy and actually it was because my mom and sharon was there that we didn't get chucked out because we weren't actually being rowdy because they were saying we won't chuck you out unless you all pay a hundred euros each and we were like I

don't think so yeah who'd you go with it was me Helen James Courtney my brother yeah Martin was there. I think Jez was there as well. And your mum was like, no. But we were like, we want to go away. And they were like,

me and Aunty Helen, Aunty Helen, me and Aunty, um, Majig and my Bob will go with you. Sharon will come with you. And we were all like, okay.

We were all disgusted. It was like, well, you know, it could be a probe. It's a pro and yeah because we had a lot with us basically we didn't get chucked out or have to pay the hundreds no we didn't do anything yeah if we were being rowdy then fair enough fair enough you're gonna go so your mom was like no they haven't done anything you're not doing that. Yeah, right.

She'll crack on mum. Right, okay, go. So, I do work here, lady. Do you? The dumbest do you work here in history. A little while back, I was sitting at my register and thinking that I should do a drop soon. Where does she work? I opened the drawer and saw that I had a great many ones so one dollar bills or singles to some which prompts me to count them.

This is because after accumulating a certain number of them, anything above the opening amount of ones is added to the next drop. I understand that. Yeah, I get it now, yeah. As I'm halfway through the stack, 24 out of 49, a woman walks in to the front door and asks, Do you work here? Bear in mind, this while I'm behind the counter, sitting at the cash register with both hands literally full of money, my response was a bewildered um yes the response going through my head was no we just allow

random people behind the counter so that they can take money out the register exactly i see i seem to be facing an increasingly moronic general public that was it it was a very short one okay well she's not wrong she's not wrong do you work here no now i've got my badge on and a uniform and i just thought i'd rob the till while whilst you know i popped into store too funny yeah well she's not wrong babe it is becoming more and more idiotic isn't it yeah i watched, I watched something on TikTok, you know, good old TikTok, and this man was just having a proper rant about our generation, your generation, and I was just like... Not our generation.

Yeah, we fall into that good generation. Yeah, we're kind of on the cusp, aren't we? Yeah, that's why we're still there. We're there. Yeah. You know, we came in at night the cusp, aren't we? Yeah, that's why we're still there. We're there. Yeah. You know, we came in at night. Well, maybe you didn't, but I certainly did when the streetlights came on. Yeah, no, yeah. We had no mobiles, no technology.

I'd said before we had a computer, but that was for my dad's work. It wasn't to play games on. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, a computer. Maybe that's why we're not so interested now, you know. Right. Go on. I do work here lady i'm interviewing right now i'm a woman did you i was in my late i'm i was in my late 30s at the time a couple of years back i manage a manufacturing facility it's a small business with a handful of employers so we're hiring and i set up an appointment on indeed it literally said you will be interviewed by me insert my incapable feminine feminine name female name don't know so the person i'm scheduled to interview

shows up and i take him into the office which has a big glass window looking into the shipping room i'm trying to interview this guy i think he was about 24 and he looked and he keeps looking over my shoulder out the window into the shipping she hasn't put area but I'm going to add that for her shipping area so I'm so I'm like is everything okay he goes when is the interview starting I respond I'm interviewing you right now. He goes, who's that? And points to my very young looking early 20s shipping guy. I respond, that's now followed by thanks for coming it thanks for coming in we'll let you know on his way out he walked he walked over to Chris and asked

him something and he left I asked Chris what it was that he asked he wanted to know why he wasn't being interviewed by him what a chauvinistic prick it's because she was a woman yeah

yeah which is bizarre because you know we don't judge people nowadays because we are you know we're all even when it is

you don't go into an interview going when am I being interviewed you sound like a right twat yeah I really want this job I'll be interviewed by anybody someone says I can hear that

I can hear his penis calling to me as soon as I enter the room. Idiots. Yeah, that was that one. What a twat. Honestly, they are some proper idiots. Honestly.

Go on. Oh, I'm so sweaty. I put the boys little fans might need a hairband on the little drawer handle sweet it's like sticking to my back it's not even that hot in here no it's actually quite good that person you can hear dying i'm assuming is one of their neighbors it keeps choking anyway is it someone got waterfall no it's next door or either running her bath or having a shower or she's washing up but it's next door bad when you're that close to people you you know i know what

they're doing yeah same as me with my upstairs i know what they're doing when they're doing it but it's all it's only them next door and it's the middle flat i'm just grateful uh bedroom is below is there below i'm just happy he's never heard any nookie nookie can you be like mom traumatized you imagine mom middle of the night mom i'd be like what there's a banging they're doing it like animals brother leave them alone did i tell you about my neighbor who can hear her neighbors no doing it but she doesn't just hear them and nothing first she's put a note through the door she has stood in her garden and yelled things and i'm like i would never i would never

even admit to that is that because she's not getting any so she's a bit jealous maybe i don't want anyone to ever go i heard you i die i die inside i don't want to know what did you think was i loud enough but i would never want my neighbors to know i could hear them vice versa do you know what i mean how awful awful but anyway How awful. Awful. But anyway, moving on as we've gone off topic. Okay. I am the teacher. Are you? I am the teacher. Okay. I've started my master's programme and they have given me a couple of higher level courses to teach.

Well, I continue to study. I am only 22 and I certainly look my age so today naturally I walk into my first lab of the semester in the front row I notice a handful of peers from my undergrad a few months ago they see me and say no way it's OP. Oh look sorry my battery's come up. Yeah. Even you had to retake this class with a bit of smugness at the thought of finding themselves in the same boat as me. With the most smug look I know has ever had the chance to grace my face, I reply, nope, I'm the teacher. They are stunned. I'm laughing. I told them not to worry because they shouldn't fail this time. Fingers crossed. on another occasion some students had wandered into my lab room seeking a place to study while i was taking a break in between classes we ended up chatting for a bit

and having some laughs i suggested we go to studying because the class was coming in soon they say are you sure the teacher won't mind us being in here i say i am the teacher so no it's no problem their attitude went from casual to upright immediately once again they are stunned and i'm laughing ah i'm starting to love the element of surprise bless her that must be really nice yeah you know I spent the same time it'd be annoying yeah but when you're young when you're like a 22 year old teacher and you're working in what she said lab so I'm assuming that would be what science biology that would be definitely a higher level study isn't't it? Like high school or higher.

Chemistry, yeah. So for them to actually think that she's like one of the students as well. It's nice when you're young, it bothers you. When you get older, it's nice to be told you look young. Like we thought you were one of the students. But yeah, I am the teacher yes good for you stop asking are you ready yeah okay don't cat call strangers at your apartment complex okay okay right after college i female 22 moved home to run the daily operations of my parents' business.

They owned some apartment complex that were fully furnished and rented on a weekly or monthly basis. Our usual tenants were travelling doctors and nurses or oil and gas guys. or oil and gas guys. One of our complexes had half finished units like this and half unfurnished normal apartments that are standard lease. I was in charge of all the day-to-day payroll, scheduling, maintenance and cleaning, showing units, paying bills, collecting rent, etc. It was my second week and there were... And there... Why can't I speak English today? It was my second week there and I was still learning who our long-term tenants were. I was standing by my car in the parking lot about to leave

when one tenant, male 32, drives by and yells at me from his car, Damn, girl, you got a fat ass. Obviously, it didn't say inset X in here, but I thought I'd add some spice for you. I was pretty shocked. Damn girl, you got a fat ass. I was pretty shocked at how brazen he was, so I just got in my car and left. I could see him watching me drive away too and that's for this

I told my parents and maintenance about what had happened and one of the maintenance guys had to tell him in front of his girlfriend that I was the new property manager and if I had any more issues with him

then I would be evicted I don't know if it needs to go that far. Do you know what I mean? You're really dramatic. That was so dramatic. Why upset the other man? I don't know. Maybe because he likes her fat ass.

Huh? Damn, girl. That's a big behind. I don't know. But I feel like that was a bit dramatic. He didn't need to say anything in front of the girlfriend. No, just pulling quietly, saying like, you know. Exactly.

I found that quite funny. If dramatic. Oh, bless him. I know. He was probably trying to just pay compliments. He was. In the most inappropriate way yeah but it's not that deep is it no i feel like it would have been better if she just rocked up as the

management and been like so yeah exactly so you paying your rent today yeah that would have been funnier because it would have been like damn girl you got a fat ass and money true story what are you doing i'm attached right you go all right pooper scooper okay i like to learn the time pooper scooper many years ago i was a snarky and largely anti-social teenager because because of this I never had success in customer service jobs I still don't go I still don't for the most part I was very lucky in high school to work as an in-home pet care provider I would drive around and visit clients homes while they were at work on vacation and take care of their animals and do some light chores bringing in mail and trash cans or to the occasional plant. I rarely encountered

humans in this job and it was perfect for me. Mostly I took care of dogs. Usually this just included a 30 minute walk and checking food and water. Some clients had large yards and multiple dogs that allowed me to substitute walks for playtime in the yard. This was the case for two golden retrievers owned by a lesbian couple. Apparently this nice old couple had some issues with vandalism because of their orientation. Nobody ever mentioned this to me or the situation probably would have been handled differently. It was a beautiful day in the early summer and the dogs were playing together loudly while I used a large dustpan looking contraption to collect their piles around the backyard. contraption to collect their piles around the backyard. The noise must have caught the attention of the next door neighbour because suddenly I was being screamed at. Something

along the lines of you better get out before I call the police. I snapped my head around and yelled what the fuck for? He continued with you're not supposed to be there uh pretty bold of you to be here in the middle of the day oh okay okay shouting yeah i was so confused and irritated i respond with what the fuck is your problem dude he finally asked the question do you have permission to be here to to me the scene was obvious honestly i said no sir i just break into people's deadbolted backyards and scoop dog shit for fun to take it home for my kids i can't help it nobody pays me to do it to do this i swear with all that attitude of a 16 year old he realized how it all looked after that and he explained what had been going on and we both apologized and we both apologized but sometimes the memory pops

in my head and i can't help but laugh at how ridiculous it was obviously i work too yeah don't just walk around picking up people's shit but yeah i'm glad he apologized to him yeah because that could have been really fucking awful yeah just start lobbing the shit in his face yeah yeah yeah yeah i mean like that girl with the door but yeah no i mean it's obvious you don't walk around breaking in picking up people's shit i know what i'm gonna go do today what are you doing oh i'm just gonna go grab some random shit so my children can make clay dolls bless him

all good yeah are you ready to move on or have you had a funny comment? No, no. They're pretty much all you. Just like, oh. Bless them. Right. Yes, I do indeed work here. So I work for an arts and crafts store. And our uniform mostly is just a red vest with the company name on the front and back with a name tag. I get an average, I i think about one to three people

asking me if i work here i do that though um find someone in uniform do you work here even i went to i went to jd's another weekend and um there was some bloke and because he was near all the time for like ages and ages around this section first i thought he was like a shoplifter i was like it's your face brother um and then uh looking for so he liked a jacket but he didn't have his side so i went excuse me love do you work here and then he went no and he went that was well random how does he look like he works here i was like he was looking because he's following us around i thought he thought you're a shoplifter and that's what it was but apparently not doesn't work here anyway sorry i'm just someone who likes to wear a red vest decorated with pins

standing near the registers for the past hour trying to figure out which candy I want. And for some reason, I have a name tag in said place. So it's just someone saying, yes, I obviously work here. But even if I'm certain, like when I worked in Wilco and it said Wilkinson, I still would probably say to him, excuse me, do you work here? Even though I know that they work there I just don't ever want to be rude that I mean they might like a Wilco top. Do you know what I mean? You never know. That was a nice color. That was that uniform

It was red I didn't mind that at all. Yeah, I love red. Oh my god I can't get comfortable Okay, go. You're right.'re right yeah okay this is my job yes see fool oh that's aggressive this is my job you fool did you save that one too yeah don't read it while I'm reading it rude should I take it over go on I've gone to a different one i just discovered this sub and i have and i have to share one of the dumbest experiences i had working as a security guard during covid i was assigned to sam's club right at the peak of everything and it was as bad as you'd expect. I lived in a very conservative area at the time

and everyone was acting like a baby over mask enforcement, but that wasn't the issue in this case. Basically, I had stepped off my post to use the restroom and as I was leaving this dude came in with a ton of clothes walking right by me in an obvious security uniform and a huge sign that said no merchandise beyond this point so with this being my job I naturally said sir you cannot bring your merchandise into the restroom this dude seriously turns back to me and says you know you know why don't you get I think he meant to say you know what, why don't you get a job

and stop harassing me I then point to my badge and the security logo on my jacket and reply this literally is my job he continues arguing claiming he needs a dressing room and all that the store never had them to begin with but especially during covid uh would not allow you to try things on

the entitlement was unreal anyway simple story but it has always stuck with me how absurdly stupid it is to tell a security guard to get a job in response to being called out for trying to take merchandise into a bathroom stall what do you think security is for bro yeah i mean covid was wild wasn't it can you believe that was like two years ago but was it two or four years i'm like no so it started in 2020 went on for two years didn't it something like that yeah um no yeah people you see people spitting in people's faces that's what i mean the whole world was dirty wasn't it when mental babe when covid happened i've never seen anything like it but um yeah that is literally my job but no people were entitled i saw some crazy stuff you know paul's only recently just stopped wearing the mask

yeah i couldn't stand it it gave me a headache straight away i felt like i couldn't breathe but i did obviously to protect other people and myself i didn't want covid although i've had it twice you've had it twice in your i've apparently had it twice well you don't believe in covid so i don't believe in it it's just i literally had nothing there was no symptoms not nothing like a runny nose no i had nothing so how do you know you're just by testing i had to so both times was at christmas and to go back to work i had to take one before I went back to work so those two tests both at Christmas time came back positive and I'm like I don't know what to

say to you so for me first time super ill he was not me was super ill Paul didn't get it he isolated um and then I think he had like a runny nose one day, he'd done a test, was positive, and then he was all like, what's for dinner? What's for dinner? And then me and him, like, can't breathe and shit. And the second time I had it, I didn't think it would be as bad as it was. So the first time was more in the head, and the second time was in the body. But I thought the second time, if I got it again after the first time i wouldn't be in

pain but no no apparently not apparently you're doomed to be in agony when you've got kovi jenna and that quite bad both times yeah i think they did didn't they yeah i think my mum got it the first time bad really bad but i don't know anyone that ended up in hospital i mean my mum does but she works in hospital of course yeah no i did personally i didn't know anybody right uh i do work here lady um i work in a big box store servicing displays and assisting staff. I have a large ID badge. I wear a lanyard that clearly says who I am and what company I'm with. Apparently not having a tiny Visas sticker means I'm not authorised after over a year of working at the same store okay

on this pitiful day I was assisting with pull by pull as in pop pull pull by going around Oh a pull by I don't know what that is, to check lines, service security, et cetera, and collecting spider wrap and keepers to put on a new release. Don't know what any of that means, but I'm sure it's relevant to her job. That was selling as fast as we could get it off the truck it was uh hectic and i was doing not doing my not quite a job speed walk carrying a hand basket filled with security i don't know guest services had a long line and all four registers open so I had spilled past them knowing where they kept the spider wrap. It's a very weird story.

I was looking up at my basket when someone grabs my shoulder and spins me around, a manager who I have worked with before and should know me is berating me for cutting in line and going into the employers only area. I show her my ID and say I am an employer and try to explain what I'm doing. She continuously talks over me and insists on calling security. So now I'm standing. So she's now standing with me next to the register. She's closed her register to force me to force me. So now only three are open and the line is getting longer. only three are open and the line is getting longer after several minutes security shows up looks at me and the spider rap for less than a second and without acknowledging her just tells her to hurry back to tech because she has been calling she has been calling that they need security and has been calling on the radio

asking what's keeping me security didn't even speak to her sadly this wasn't the last time this happened other than the jimbo at the beginning the hibbity jibbity crap whatever she was talking about her boss doesn't recognize her one of the bosses doesn't recognize her so it's bizarre isn't it yeah unless it's like a big store like a big company have you ever heard of spider rap i don't know what spider rap is me neither because i was like am i saying that right i'm definitely saying that right um this actually sounds like onset of dementia the second time someone you work with doesn't recognize you i'd be messing in i'd be messaging hr once can be an accident multiple times sadly is a pattern oh they're anti-theft devices there you go so it's it's um like a circular sort of

device which makes the wire that goes around yeah that makes sense because i was like what is she waffling on about it doesn't make wrap it has a wire that wraps around that's what that's why that makes the wrap spider wrap yeah that's what i mean by that so that makes sense then okay so we know what that is now so she was moving all that stuff about the security tags why didn't she just put security tag because she knows the professional name why would anybody else be doing that

unless you weren't there you wouldn't go I've come in I can see you're busy so I'll tell you what I'll do I'll go get you some security tags and I'll go to all these eyes and do all this stuff for you just because i've got a couple of hours to kill why not maybe we should try and do that no video just walking no walk out the back and just start getting

just start working see if anyone notices walk through it's me it's me billy i've always worked here. Yeah. For like 10 years. How self-obsessed are you for not noticing me? Wow. Yeah, rude. I am. I am.

Shooketh. You're shooketh. I'm shooketh. Shooketh. Shooketh. I've got one more after your one. Pizza invitation. I love pizza.

I love pizza. I do love pizza pizza that's why i got really fat but as you can all see it's going can you see today yes i think you can see or a t-shirt yesterday you know that massive baggy one that says uh in memory of when i cared because the top box i wore the one that actually the small one and it was like flat and i was like brother brother okay oh i feel like i could be an opera singer that was see a picture invitation feel like she's moved on on mobile so during the 2020 so during the 2020 yeah okay our neighbor across the street passed away afterwards the house was bought and renovated then lockdown happened and i was laid off luckily it didn't affect me or my wife financially and we continued to be well off and all was fine. Oh, all right. Rub it in. I also saved this story. I also read this story.

Did you? Yeah. One day while doing some much-needed yard work, a man had stopped by. What? I know what's coming. Name changed for privacy reasons. He introduced himself and his girlfriend as juana michelle i couldn't read that name though that you just read yeah i was like do you know

do you know one do you know and end up having a nice conversation and learn he was the one that bought the house. After that conversation they invited us both to pizza down at our area's most popular pizza place. All handmade brick oven pizzas is really good. We accepted the invitation and was to meet up there on Sunday. The week went on and soon Sunday had rolled around and we walked up to the front of the restaurant and sat and waited for our hosts to arrive. While we waited I had run inside and grabbed us both a drink. 15 minutes later a manager had stepped outside and asked if we had ordered yet. Me, no we haven't ordered yet but we are waiting for someone to arrive.

Manager, okay but when you are ready, step inside. A few minutes later, my wife and I are starting to get agitated and thinking about leaving when the manager steps back outside. Manager, you two are Juan's guests, correct? Me. Yes, we are sitting here waiting for him. Manager. Oh, well he's inside. Do you not remember me? We sat there looking confused about who she was. I'm Michelle, Juan's girlfriend. It then clicked with us who she was and followed her in. I didn't remember the conversation that took place after but it turned out one owned both the pizza place and the burger place next to it. We were later told that he grew up poor and hated the way his home country was so he made it his mission to give back as much as possible no matter who it was we ended up with too much pizza and had to call a friend to come

eat it with us over the next two years of us living there there would be the occasion of me and my wife going to these places to eat and a few of these visits ending up with free food. Now you probably think we took advantage of his generosity, well no. Any time we didn't pay the staff got what we would have paid as a tip and would often have to avoid him and his girlfriend so we could pay. And that I didn't feel that I was taking an opportunity away from someone else that needed that free food more than me. Oh. I mean, it was a nice story, but I thought it was going to be a bit more juicy.

Because I read up until the part where they didn't recognize yeah and i thought we were going somewhere with that but it was a bit of a weird story it didn't it didn't go where i thought you know we were hoping for a bit of drama i think but no no it's just a really nice man yeah we've got an ice cream meal i like the fact that he gives the equivalent of the money to the staff. That's cool. Yeah, and the owner of the restaurant seemed like a decent chap and all. Yeah. Free meal.

Chap. Chap, darling. Chap. Okay. Actually, I do. Cross post because I don't know about this sub until a lovely commenter directed me here i was at target one night around 20 years ago sweatpants university t-shirt carrying my purse just browsing

with my roommate two girls are shopping down the aisle and one said hold on and one of them looked directly at me and asked me ma'am could you see if you could if you have any more of these I couldn't even respond just start just stared at her with my mouth open confused as hell because actually I did work there at Target at the exact store I was just in shopping on a night off the girl's friend hit her and said she doesn't work here you idiot and dragged her friend away who was now staring at me awkwardly too I was still just standing there gawking wondering how in the world she could tell or if she would just had a lucky guess well they were both right you do work there just not that night that was a nice one you got any to end

us with you're like do I did I save any more yeah I wanted to carry us home babes this one time yes a little bit what a bank and no no not that one hang on hang on bear with hang on hang on hang on you've got one just waiting for it to load all right ready yeah regular bar regular at a bar once breaded chicken wings tries to get me in trouble when i say no okay let's see how it goes as the total says i work in a bar in the atlanta area and we obviously have chicken wings and we obviously have chicken wings yeah obviously obviously obviously did't i am 37 white male lady is 24 ish black lady i don't know if i should say that what is she black then what does it matter oh why is it relevant it's not relevant

but he's put it in there so it's nothing to do with you whatever yeah a correctional officer who seems to have a domination kink for what her ex my newly hired co-worker whom is 28 years old mexican dude in the kitchen whom i'm training, has told me. Okay, that's a good letter. Did that work? She's a prison guard. I did not know this until shortly before I wrote this. She's used to dominating men. She's assigned to the yard area. A bit of a background info on this yeah yeah my god okay she only wanted chicken

give her the chicken yeah give it to her she worked hard apparently she had her mother who is her superior at said prison would bribe a now departed cook to batter their wings for them. We do not have the filters on our fryers to properly make breaded wings. I used to work at Hooters. The kitchen manager and general manager are correct. That requires specialised equipment. We adjust a hole-in wall type i don't know much about chickens i think i kind of get in the gist that if without the specialized filters it will just clog everything and float about yeah so once my trainee asked me how to do this i put the

So once my trainee asked me how to do this I put the kibosh on it. Kibosh? Kibosh? I said it's not on the menu and we don't do it off menu stuff. It becomes an ordeal and I'm summoned out to the table within five minutes. I explained that both my general manager and kitchen manager have forbade me for making breaded wings and you cannot course my trainee into doing it, no matter if you already know him. So come to find out my kitchen manager occasionally made this customer and her mum grandma style wings and so did a guy who just recently quit however they straight up give my kitchen manager and the new the now former sorry the now former co-worker

cash on the side for this nothing for my train nothing for my trainee and certainly nothing for me the guy who would get in trouble otherwise so it turns into a whole thing and gets to the point where i asked my kitchen manager to please diffuse the situation as i did not appreciate the hand in my face like it was 1998 i was i was getting tucked to the hand because the face ain't listening but the tongue is licking. The lady lies and tries to put words in my sister's mouth. Where's her sister come from? She's walked in. Who is a bartender there.

There you go. works and working and quickly comes and refutes the regulars desperately to my kitchen manager, who is a 41-year-old black man. My kitchen manager figures out she's not on the level when she changes her story several times, up to and including saying my sister was just covering for me and that just because it wasn't on the menu doesn't mean I don't have to do what she says. At that point, she raises her fist to hit me and then drops it and claims she's not beating my ass because she respects my sister whatever that means mate would oh did it just run out it actually the last bit says would i be the um i think it was for refusing to do the chicken. No.

No, he absolutely wouldn't. It's because of her attitude. That's why I think she didn't get her chicken. Because she's got a really, really bad attitude. Yeah. Yeah, I think if you ask nicely and say, like, oh, they used to do it for me. Yeah, do you mind just doing it? But if it fucks up the whole fryer,

then I don't think they should do it. She's not even paying the restaurant. She's like... Giving, yeah, backhanders. She's giving backhanders. And the busboy's like, how do I do that? Yeah. I want to do it, but... Yeah, he won't let me. But yeah. No, good story.
