working in a fast food chain or retail, you will come to learn that if you are paid to help, you are really paid to be a slave to people who think theyre better than you
2:17 I'M DYING FROM THIS STORY. If you want your meal for free they wouldn't make any profit so threatening them with "If you don't give our food for free we'll leave" is actually terrible because they'd ask you to get out anyway.
A lot of the time, it's over stupid things like mentioned in this video. Sometimes it's not even a complaint. I've had customers ask to talk to the manager because they wanted to know when their application to work there would get looked at. Heck, even if the employee messed up, the manager isn't going to like fire you. But true why is everyone still afraid of someone saying that lol
The second person would be me because if I feel bad or nervous about something, sometimes I'll lie out of panic. And then I'd feel bad for refusing, only for the lie to backfire in my face.
Hi Ellen! :D Glad your still uploading after all these years, I still remember watching you 6 years ago! Not much change, you still had your charming admirable personality. Lots of love from PH ❤🇵🇭
There's this ice cream place that's local in my area, and is really good. They make their ice cream from cows they own that have a big pen outside the store, which is also a petting zoo. I saw a review for it from this one guy saying the cone was too much cone, and he didn't like some of the ice creams. You're not supposed to like every flavor of ice cream.. There's different people with different preferences, but that didn't register for this guy.. This was a full grown man.
Hehe, I work at Dunkin and someone ordered a box of munchkins, which the sign on the donut case said $3. "That'll be $3.50." "No, it says $3." "It says $3.50." "No it says $3..." "It gets taxed." "Oh...right.." Guy behind him after he left, "what an idiot." I like to think he had a brainfart.
Last time I went to dunkins they asked if we had come for donuts (I was with my little sister who wanted the donut and our parents waited outside), we said yeah and they turned around and said to us, sorry we don't have any donuts. I wish I was kidding. They literally had no donuts...
Maybe he's just not American. The system of excluding the taxes on the prices is one of the most stupid things I've ever heard, and if I ever go to the US I'll definitely forget that's a thing there the first 20 times buying stuff...
I did something dumb when I was maybe 9 or 10. My mom and I went to a hotel, along with her relatives. It was time for breakfast, and we went down to the restaurant. The plates and the silverware were already set up on the table, and I tagged along with my mom to get some food. But I was still sleepy that time, so I approached a staff and asked why there's no spoon and fork everywhere. The staff then stood there confused, and I was confused too. I just went back to our table, and then when I looked down, I immediately facepalmed myself ✊😔
About the person not being able to decide on the Ladders, it’s only understandable if you’re deciding on Games or Books, as you’d be using it for a while, but it doesn’t make sense for a Ladder. You’d only use a ladder a handful of times before forgetting it. You’d get to reread books and replay Games whenever you’d like.
6:11 It may sound weird but I understand where they're point of view is in this. Where I live in small stores we sometimes have walls with a a picture on it (like a life-size picture) that gives you the illusion there's more (like you can walk further than the wall) but it's just a wall with a picture :[ Just like those paintings where you look up it looks like you're looking from a well or people are looking down on you (to make it appear higher or bigger)
Oh, these reminded me of the questions I would get when I worked at a Six Flags theme park back in the 90s. I was a theatre hostess, and one summer, the show was an ice skating show. Common questions: Is that real ice? What is the ice made of? What time does the 2 o'clock show start? My favorite: It's really cold in here. Could you turn down the AC? My answer every time: Do you want to watch ice skating or synchronized swimming? Oh...
I love how you haven’t switched your content throughout the years ☹️ ever now and then I check up to see how you’re doing and I hope you’re doing well Ellen
Umm, yeah, people can be this dumb. And sometimes even smart people say and do dumb things. Regardless, the bagging area thing is so true. And they’re even worse if you’ve brought your own bags. Which is why, unless I only have like one or two things, I try to avoid those lanes.
5:53 I think she meant like how far she can explore the shop to search for items, as to make sure that isn't a store room or something. I can totally see myself asking that.
Actually, I'm an indecisive person but once I already knew what item to buy, I don't hesitate. I just hesitate when there are so many options. This is why it's so hard to shop alone, I couldn't get any feedback other than the salesclerk. T^T
At a restaurant a lady said she was on a diet so couldn't eat carbohydrates but then ordered carb-loaded items expecting the chefs to remove the carbs from the items. She then ordered a baked Alaska for dessert and complained that the middle was frozen. Not even the dumbest thing, but one I go back to because just...ugh...😑
I salute the waiter in the restaurant dealing with that entitled couple 🤭👍That they expected him to grovel and bend over backwards for them - "No, get out" Karma served swift 🤣
worked in the meat department at a grocery store, the day after thanksgiving I got a call and the person was complaining that her "Thanksgiving turkey turned purple". after 5 minutes of questioning her it turns out Thanksgiving day she didn't have any raisins for the stuffing to stuff the turkey with so she used grapes instead
That wasn't the dumb part of the story tho, it was the fact they didn't realise you lock the bathroom yourself once you're inside and thought the bathroom somehow locked itself or something
Wow... It reminds me when I used to work at taco bell and we had spicy shredded chicken and this girl asked if there was meat in the spicy shredded chicken taco... I stared at her she was dead serious I didn't say anything. I'll never forget that..
I kind of get the hotel one. In a lot of motels/hotels I've been in they usually have the skin outside the bathroom door. Then there is also another door for cleaning staff to go between rooms that I was told that you can get in trouble with staff if they find out you tried that door because it would seem like you are trying to break into the other room. The guy probably was use to seeing a sink by the door and likely the hotel room only had the bathroom door, which he could have mistaken for the staff door.
I’m a female working in retail full time, and lemme tell ya, there are a hell of a lot of things that piss me off about customers: 1. When people leave shopping carts out in the parking lot (not even in the cart slot) for my coworkers and I to put back in the store. I’m scared to death that one day a cart is going to start rolling and it’s going to hit my car and scrape the paint off of it. And even though I’m saving money and working full time, a paint job just for that would cost me thousands of dollars. And I’d rather not have to spend that much money to fix my car just because some lazy ass decided to not put their cart back in the store. 2. When people blame me for prices. I always say, “I don’t make the prices, I just work here.” What I really wanna say is, “Get the hell out of here if you’re going to blame me for high prices that I have absolutely no control over.” 3. When male customers flirt with me. I even wear a wedding ring just to deter them, even though I’m not married. I’ve had men ask me if I’m married and lots of other bad things. I had a guy ask for my name at the register and I covered up my name tag and gave him a fake name. Sometimes I’ll even lie to them when they ask if I have a boyfriend and I’ll say, “No, I’m a lesbian” even though I’m really not. Or I’ll say, “No, I have a girlfriend” or “No, I have a wife.” (I’m straight, I just say this to get them to go away.) 4. When people come to the counter and when they say, “Oh, I’m actually not buying this” and expect me to put it back. It makes my blood BOIL!!!!!! I don’t say anything, but I honestly wish I could tell them, “Then put it back yourself, you lazy ass.” Pardon my French. And that’s why you treat retail workers with respect. 😆
ooh army, that sucks. Hearing that workers have to experience these types of things are just..well i hv to admit when i was like 9 or 10 i was the lazy kid who doesnt put the shopping cart back. I put them back now but i just want to go back in time and tell my old self how much trouble i caused for workers
@@yudu9058 It’s okay, you’re putting it back now, and I can tell you every time you bring it back to it’s rightful spot, you’re giving retail workers an inward sigh of relief. And it does kind of suck a lot, but I think customers are starting to learn, “Don’t mess with the retail worker that loves BTS.”😆😄I wear BTS pins on my uniform, and that’s how they recognize me.😄
@@princessofhell4639 I wish I could do that. But sadly, I don’t think my store would let me. But it’s okay, I’ve learned how to defend myself from the creepos, as I call them. I even had a manager stay at the register with me once because I told her a guy that’s been known to creep me out was walking up there, and she was kind enough to stay the whole time. I even looked at her and said in a low voice, gritting my teeth, “Please don’t leave! He’s creepy!” And she told me she wouldn’t. And she was kind enough to ask if I was okay after he left. So, we’ve got each other’s backs there. My managers also know to take my side because they’d rather keep a hardworking employee than have a creepy customer constantly coming around. Even the male managers have my back.😃
It’s crazy how there are people out there who would ask for a manager to complain about something that is completely out of an employee’s control.
@@user-ux3ti6tz4e shut up
I feel awful for the workers that have to go through this. I'm not sure how grown adults think this way...

The one line every worker is afraid of: CAN I SPEAK TO THE MANAGER!?

It's like the person has NEVER once seen ice melting or something like... that is so stupid to fret on a manager about that as well
"Hurry up, my ice-creams getting cold"
Imagine not checking all the doors in your hotel room

Hey!! I havent seen you since i was little, im glad i found you again!! I love your channel and its as good as ever
Quite a few bathrooms at gas stations do require a key. I have often had to go to the front desk to ask for one.
That wasn't the dumb part of the story tho, it was the fact they didn't realise you lock the bathroom yourself once you're inside and thought the bathroom somehow locked itself or something
@@princessofhell4639 I was responding more to what she said and here comments than the story itself.
I never understood the “give us [insert food/item] for free or we’re leaving” argument.
I love your hat. You always look so pretty
love ur uploads ellen, hi!!! sending u lots of love ❤️❤️❤️

thanks for making me happy since age 7
I think about half of these have happened to me while I am working😭
Oh dear. Just...oh dear. 🤦♀
I once had a customer ask me if the drink marked diet was the diet one-
The waiter: Enjoy your meal
Me: You too
Such people walk among us.
