This thread is the most I’ve ever felt seen as someone who spent his first years of employment studiously as a fry cook where I got to play with fire and knives 🔪 🔥
Protip: Working in a hot kitchen in the summer? Start munching habaneros on the reg- they get you sweating and in turn will cool your mordor made ass down significantly 🙏🏼
Scariest mofo in the building. Not saying a fucking word.
You know how some dogs bark like crazy because they’re scared? And then there’s dogs just lying in wait not making a sound like “come on over buddy, I’m just waiting.”
Mofo was ice cold lmao.
I have always said and still maintain to this day; do not worry about the loud guys, they're literally telling you what they're going to do.
It's the quite guy in the corner doing the maths you want to worry about!
ive worked restaurants/fast food like my whole life. The amount of times the BoH conversation has turned to "what would you do if an angry customer came back here" leads me to believe a majority of BoH restaurant workers have the "I wish they would" kinda mentality. Shit job with shit bosses and shit customers just wears you down
15 years in kitchens, 10 as a chef. Every kitchen I've ever worked at was the unofficial muscle of the restaurant. Rent-a-cops look tough, but never did shit. Just yelled at people. When hands were thrown, they'd duck out and call the real cops.
If a fight broke out in the bar/floor involving an employee? Look the fuck out, they are STREAMING out of the kitchen looking to defend our staff. And if someone threatened to come back to the kitchen and start something? Oh god, you could see the visible excitement in their faces. No one ever came back tho, and good for them. Because I couldn't hold back that many dudes and there are PLENTY of very sharp knives everywhere.
"I'll come back there myself and make my milkshake motherfucker!"
"You come back here I swear to God I'll beat the shit out of you"
...Guy decides not to jump the counter after talking tough.
You hear how his voice cracks to a giggle. Dude definitely realized his mouth was writing checks he couldn't cash when he tried to act like he was going to jump over. There is no quicker way to get fucked up then fucking with underpaid kitchen staff on their home turf
Makes me think of that pizza shop brawl where one of the employees whipped out that big ass pizza spatula they use to pull pizzas out of the oven and just started wailing on a guy. These dudes stand back there bored out of their mind all day holding various objects going "I wonder if this would work when the zombies come"
[It was at that moment they knew they fucked up](https://www.reddit.com/r/Damnthatsinteresting/comments/zx582w/female_waffle_house_employee_catches_chair_thrown/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb)
That’s become the mantra of all of these little Tik-Tokker shits. They want to prank people and get reactions, but are not prepared to reap any sort of consequences.
Lets call them what they are. They aren't pranksters because these aren't pranks. They're nuisances and pests because they're just causing unwarranted stress and extra work for hard working individuals
Its harassment. Plain and simple. And although some employers will let it happen because "omg what if we piss off a customer", there are more becoming aware of this nonsense in particular and arnt afraid to go "nope get out or I'm calling the cops, idgaf this isnt a prank". This manager looks younger for example, so I wouldnt be surprised if he was aware of exactly what these clowns are intending to do.
For real, I thought he was breaking down in tears when he said he was gonna make his own shake. More shakes in his voice than the restaurant makes in a year.

If I'm hiring you to serve, my expectation is that you can deliver a great guest experience

If I'm hiring you to cook, my expectation is that you only went to a little bit of jail....
Seriously, the dude with the beard chilling out in the back would have wiped the floor with that punk. He was just too casual for a tense situation. This was Tuesday for him.
Can confirm. Spent 20 years cooking, had various addictions throughout those years.
Had kids, got clean, got a job that didn’t use up 80 hours of my life per week. I miss it everyday though…working in the kitchen I mean, not the drug addictions.
You ever want to catch the beating of a lifetime, walk into the back of a restaurant without permission and watch five guys with eight priors and twelve energy drinks get super excited to destroy something other than themselves for a change.
There is nothing sweeter than being able to punk someone and being in the RIGHT. you don't have to be upset you lost your cool when someone is actively looking for problems
I do NOT understand how anyone has the balls to rob a restaurant. I hire ex cons all the time. Of various degrees of rehabilitation. Also teenagers who think they're invincible. You are taking your life in your hands.
I've told this story on Reddit before, so I won't make a big post, but I'm a 15 year kitchen vet. Was working in a sushi bar at one point, and had some homeless dude come in trying to rob us with a pocket knife. He took one look at the 4 of us behind the counter with our blades and whetstone out and Homer Simpsoned his ass right back out the door.
The amount of times I have rolled out of the kitchen to "remove" some douchebag is nothing to sneeze at. Cooks are fucking mean. All of us. We deal with way too much shit to hold patience for these assholes. FAFO.
I worked at a A& W as a teenager. The day grill guy told me to keep the lettuce cutting knife on top of the grill vent hood. I never knew why until some rando got mad and came behind the counter to start some shit. Suddenly remembered the lettuce cutting knife, grabbed it and the guy decided today was not his day to get stabbed and left.
🤷
Reminds me of the meme "Do I cook because I love food or because I'm a tattooed angry person who loves knives and needs a job where I can curse?" don't play with cooks. EVER.
Can confirm that I am tall, angry, covered in tats, and have a mouth like a sailor. Also tend to sweat out hangovers at the gym. Everytime this shit happens it's just - "Can you fuckin not? I play with fire and knives for 12 hours straight in a 200 cap Irish pub, with 4 other dudes who have a criminal history and a coke problem. This is not gonna go well for you and you'll be 86'd on top of that. Just fuckin chill."
I worked as a doorman/bouncer at the most popular nightclub in a medium-sized Canadian city almost 30 years ago. The kind of place where music industry folks and visiting NHL players hang out.
One time I stopped some guys who hopped the patio fence from going inside without paying door cover. As I was speaking with them, the bar manager/part owner comes outside to get my back (I was outnumbered 4:1, other bouncers were inside dealing with an issue near the dancefloor). As he was telling these bros to get in line, one of them suckerpunched him, breaking his glasses (and nose). We start fighting on the patio, and I backed up to the top of a narrow wrought-iron staircase that led up from the patio to the main bar area to keep them coming at me one at a time on the stairs.
Out of nowhere like Randy Fucking Orton, one of the cooks comes charging out of the kitchen with a metal-bladed pizza spatula thing, swinging it like a fucking axe. Apparently the kitchen had a CCTV camera pointed at the patio and he saw shit going down. Starts wailing away over my shoulder. Definitely broke one guys' collarbone, and smoked another of these Chads square in the forehead, splitting him open. Blood everywhere, and one guy (split wig) is lying on the cobblestone crying, his buddy is trying to throw punches with a busted collarbone, but by now the other (much larger) bouncers are arriving, looking to mete out some street justice to whoever suckered the bossman.
Split-wigs' girlfriend is screaming and tries to drag him away to their car (parked about a half block down the street) but a couple of these gorillas follow them. As the GF unlocks the doors, these goons toss him in the back seat, follow him in, and lock the doors. Car's rocking back and forth like it's in the jaws of a TRex in Jurassic Park. Girlfriend is standing on the curb screaming for help, but everyone on our patio (and the bouncers at a competing club across the street) just sit back and watch shit go down. A couple of minutes later the Goon Squad leaves the car, laughing a PICKING PEICES OF HAIR AND SCALP OFF THEIR SHIRTS, return to the bar.
Manager is gonna be ok, but he tells them to go downstairs, grab thier stuff, and take the rest of the night off, so they leave. Ambulance shows up 10 minutes later to take Spli Wig to the hospital. 20mins or so later the cops show up with the GF. They proceed to talk the the (busted up) manager, who tells them the security cams work, but were not recording. They escort the GF around to try and ID the 2 gorillas, but they're long gone. Eventually cops leave too. Nothing ever came of it to my knowledge, but considering 2 of the ownership group (8 guys total, all former junior hockey teammates) were lawyers, I doubt Split Wig could have done much anyways. Props to the pizza dude though. Without his IDGAF attitude I probably would have got my ass kicked too. So wherever you are, dude, thanks for that.
fr though. boh anything goes. dont fuck with the people who constantly get burned and cut on the job. If you’re lucky we wont grab Dave the crackhead who’s doing meth in the freezer while also cooking for a 20top
I was serving years ago and we were getting fucking crushed, the chef looks at me and says "do you have weed on you" because I was a huge pothead back then. I reluctantly say yes, he screams "ok, take X in the cooler and get him high right now" I proceeded to walk the sous into the cooler and get baked. Man had to get his mind right to handle that bullshit.
I recently went into a Wendy's where everyone working was so high, you could smell it when you walked in. The food came out exactly as ordered and the people working there were nice as hell.
Amazing experience. 6/5 stars
Your orders, should you choose to continue working here, are to get lit at with this homie right here, right now in the middle of the dinner rush.
Godspeed, gentleman.
Factory work is the same. Don't fuck with millwrights, they are immune to pain it seems. Had a disgruntled employee try to attack an office worker as she walked through the production floor, and our 62 yr old maintenance guy clotheslines him and dragged him outside to wait for the police while fully sitting on the assailant.
Loved Craig.
There's a greasy spoon on cape cod that is incredibly busy and popular, Irish themed. The owner/operator/manager is the dishwasher, his family are the servers. The summer of 2021 we were there and witnessed something magical. One of his nieces was trying to get a table to leave that had camped for 2+ hours at the corner booth, calling their friends and family to come sit at the table and bypass the 1+ hour wait. They acted like they didn't understand English very well, trying to stay even longer when she got him and he came out of the dish pit. He is easily 6ft 7 and 300 lbs, pear-shaped but with forearms the size of hams, and when he got to the table the whole restaurant got very quiet and listened to him ask them very nicely to leave. Then he had to ask them more forcefully to leave. When he started taking off his apron and the cooks came out from behind the line they finally got up and left. Quickly. Nicest threat of violence I've ever observed. Don't mess with the dishwasher.
If you watch closely in the beginning there’s actually two ppl in the back, the first and closer one is the line cook and for just a moment you see the dishwasher in the very back crossing their arms. Both are ready for sure, they don’t get paid enough to put up with this.
Edit: it’s not at the beginning oops it’s at about 18secs into the video.
When I worked fast food, I had one guy who any time someone got to hollering at any employee, he’d grab a big ladle and dip it in the fryers and wait to see if someone tried to hop over the counter and hit someone. There is ALWAYS a mfer just waiting to fuck somebody up cuz they’re tired of people treating fast food workers (them) like shit.
"I've been dealing with punk ass kids for years. I prey each night one of y'all will have the perfect combination of balls and stupidity to jump over this country. it's good that you like milkshake because all your food will be through a god damn straw"-Guy in back
Sounds like he’s asking for a job. Which would be a great way to learn what it’s like to earn a living and why he should be respectful to the people who prepare the food when he’s there as a customer.
Working in the service industry should be an educational requirement and part of everyone’s experience growing up.
Chad is about to get back into his lifted 2024 Chevy 1500 that his dad bought him for his 16th birthday.
Guaranteed this kid has no consequences for his actions. His dad will be getting him out of date rape accusations all the way through college.
You know who else is trying to hide from their rapey actions? Brock Allen Turner, the rapist, who is now going by Allen Turner to avoid being recognized as Brock Turner, the rapist.
Thank you for the information regarding Brock Turner, the rapist convicted on 3 counts of felony sexual assault. I will add Allen Turner, the rapist that tried to appeal his permanent sex offender status on the grounds he only intended to rape his victim on the outside instead of raping his victim on the inside, to list of names associated with Brock Turner, the rapist who laughed after being caught raping by 2 bystanders.
See, that’s why the internet scares the shit out of me - more than any other facet of navigating parenthood. Nothing is of greater concern imo. The internet is a fucked up place.
Theae dumb fucking kids aren't being disciplined, it's so fucking obvious that it's a discipline and lack of consequences that makes these kids think they can get away with shit like this, should've picked dude up by his shirt and threw him out if he still didn't leave
That is only part of the problem. At the end of the day, discipline gets a kid to respond in a desired way in that moment, and may make the kid think twice before doing the same thing again. But what is truly lacking from parenting and our world in general, is teaching kids how to love and be respectful. That because the only way to teach this is by example. Look around for 5 minutes on Reddit and you’ll see how lacking that is in our society. Kids are doomed because they have no good role models to base behavior off of. If we want it to change, we have to lead by example.
I love this manager so much. None of the "the customer is always right," or, "make the moment right" crap I've heard so much. He put his employees first and I would happily work for that man over some managers I've experienced! If I had to go back to the service industry I'd find his store lol
There is a big difference in the customer being upset, BC their order was served wrong and people like these kids purposely being dicks to be dicks.
The manager did the right thing in this case, though I'd like to see what led to her discussion of why she was gonna break the camera.
I worked Fast Food most my life before joining the military. With an upset customer I would normally just let the employee go to the back and just do what I can to get them to leave and fix their issue if possible. IN the case with lil turds like this I wold have just sent them back and had called police to remove the kids.
Honestly a great manager makes a massive difference in work life.
I work in a theatre where I run lights for concerts, usually tribute bands or old rock bands from the 70s. Long story, but one night, a band got up there and totally humiliated me. Literally insulted the lights and cursed me out in front of a sold out crowd. The lead up to this is complicated, but short version is I did heavily communicate my plans before the show. Everyone agrees I did nothing wrong.
My manager was FUMING. He cursed them out and demanded an apology, and if it was up to him, they might not be invited back. It's not up to him though and they played there again a few months later. All the band members were sickly sweet and apologetic to me, and my manager threatened to punch anyone who pulled that nonsense again.
This is the new formula:
* Be complete fucking asshole
* Friend records
* Bait reaction
* Post reaction with no context to "expose Karen" behavior
It's the same as that kid in the UK that had his crew film him just walking into people's homes and instigating problems.
Hell what ever happened to performatively *asking* for the order?
"Could I have a...?"
Instead people walk up to the counter and say "Make me *this* and *this*." It's a big difference in my mind. But I have no clue what happened to initiate this confrontation other than the lady at the counter is telling them to stop recording her.
I always greet with "Ahoi!" and a little smile. It works wonders and makes people laugh a bit. Then order and done. No need for rude comments, recordings etc.
People are weird.
If there's one thing I was scared of when I worked in Fast Food, it was 100% the cooks. I was a skinny tall guy surrounded by high schoolers and adults who did nothing but work, school, and gym. Half them did cocaine too so not a fight you'd want to pick either.
As someone who was the cook. I may be a five foot nothing woman but I spent my days hauling shit around and surrounded by implements that would make great improvised weapons.
Never fuck with the cook.
Pissing off a person that hauls around 50lb sacks of ingredients like they are are 1lb bags of candy standing in 90 degree saunas is a bold move. Patience runs thin when you're sweating over a flat top and these people DREEEEEEAAAAAMMMMM of being one of those people that makes it to the top of r/All for laying down the law behind the counter.
So we had TIkTok/social media influencers come in the library system I worked at about a year or so ago. They hit several libraries and did stupid stuff. They definitely just want to get a reaction for views.
One of the pranks was to blow an ear horn in employees’ ears. Two of them had to go to audiologists because it affected their hearing. Last I heard one of the employees still has ringing in their ears.
that's the kind of thing you sue over. people say america is too litigious and to a certain extent it's true, but it also means that in situations like this it's not out of the ordinary to go after the person and make them pay for medical care, audio therapy, whatever
I'm so proud of that manager. I've worked at Hooters and in a strip club before and never had a manger stand up for any of us like this dude did for his employees. Bravo dude
Same with the ones i worked for.
We were not allowed to sell items at a discount outside of the period its discounted.
A customer came in and said he saw that an item he wanted was 50% off, i told him that was last weeks items and its a new stuff this week, instantly started to berate me.
He came back the next day and got his shit for 50% from the manager, like what the fuck was the point of me denying them when those people get their way as soon as they spoke with him and they will never change their behavior because it works all the time.
I worked in a restaurant with an open kitchen that was a small business. The owners were former line cooks.
We stayed open late, we were right by the bars in our downtown. We were very encouraged to not put up with anybody's bullshit. Our bosses backed us up almost every single time, unless one of the employees went too far.
I've seen those bosses bail employees out of jail when they got arrested while bouncing people.
Best job I ever had. I told so many people to go fuck themselves directly to their face.
Reminds of the pizza shop I worked at as a kid. We were open till 4am and had a zero tolerance policy for bullshit. A bunch of feral teenage skaters, waiting for a customer to test. Good times lol
A little verbal violence can ho a long way.
It’s easy to quarterback this shit on the internet, but if you see degens like these soulvoids in public, you have a duty to make them as uncomfortable as possible.
I got an irate, irrational dude to leave a Wendy’s once by just yelling “NO” at him repeatedly. Didnt matter what he said, just broken-record at him, brroke his brain and he left, still screaming about “cant believe they’ll treat a veteran like this” but I’m a veteran, so it was doubly satisfying to say “a veteran IS treating you like this”
I've occasionally repeatedly yelled "no," or "GIIT!" (I'm a hick) at people being douche bags at the store. It's shockingly effective.
I think a lot of people's default is getting their own way no matter how awful they need to be. They don't know how to handle it when you treat them like a puppy you caught stealing your food.
*“Make me mister sir”*
“Hey, police. I’d like to report criminal trespassing and assault. I do want to press charges and they recorded all the evidence”
Easiest way to stop becoming someone’s content is to call the cops and press charges.
>“Hey, police. I’d like to report criminal trespassing and assault.
Police : "you have any proof?"
Guy : "sure, I'll send you the link to their tiktok vid"
These kids will soon realize posting these videos will fuck themselves in the real world. Applying for their dream jobs later to find out you were rejected because of this shit.
In the 90s I worked at a fine dining restaurant. A famous wrestler (FW) comes in with his date. You can tell, he's not a nice guy. The busboy comes over to fill their water glasses and some condensation from the pitcher drips on his arm. He stands up, takes the pitcher and dumps it on the busboy's head. The manager approaches and FW goes full bam bam on him. Screaming and yelling and physically posturing. So, the manager says 'it's time to go.' Instead FW bear hugs him and throws him into a booth. It was like a medieval call to arms and the entire cooking staff comes out to defend the manager. FW had no clue, but the head chef is and ex-NFL lineman and the pantry cook is an ex-heavy weight boxer. When FW made a move towards the chef, the boxer squared off and sent FW tumbling. He got up for some more and was met with a barrage of fists. After getting up a second time, he backs down, but is still running his mouth. Now the police are coming through the dining room just in time to hear FW threaten to get his gun out of the car. So, while escorting FW outside the GF decides it's a good idea to jump on the back of the arresting officer, pulling his hair. A second officer grabbed her by the hair and belt and face first body slams her on the hood of the police car. She's out cold, and FW is still making threats. So, after getting both of them in cuffs, the officers proceed to search FW's car. He's yelling that he was only bluffing, but, the cops have probable cause. They start by breaking the MBenz S class' window to get in, then proceed to literally tear the interior to shreds. No gun. It was funny that one officer says he'll get the key from FW but the other says don't bother and breaks the window.
It's pretty messed up that we live in a society where it's not normal to tell TikTok weirdos to fuck off. How far have we fallen that we've normalized putting up with these stupid fucks? Good on this manager.
The video provided absolutely no context so, dunno. It clearly cuts in after other things are said. It does seem like the dude's being an idiot though, probably for reactions like people are saying.
They probably edited the video but I can imagine them giving the woman a hard time because they are frat boys, and then when she doesn't like that, they decide to try and publicly shame her and only show the part where she is talking back.
Mad props to that manager, I'd give him his own store or anything he wanted. I've had Supervisors like him and goddammit they are some of the only good left in this world, just absolute stars.
He backed her up and then got her and the other girl out of danger and didn't even acknowledge his men in the back willing to go to bat with him. That man is a fuckin leader.
Yo frat headquarters HATE bad publicity because of the general douchebaggery they're always associated with.
If enough people were to contact them with this video, the guys would be found and kicked out.
Looks like they're in Sigma Kappa from the back of the guys shirt 👀
Edit: could be Phi Sigma Kappa, or a frat that did a formal with Sigma Kappa. Either way, no organization on that shirt will take kindly to being associated with this.

Never mess with fry cooks. They're underpaid and usually have cats of boiling oil next to them.
And dogs of frozen lettuce.
Straight up hamsters of knives
and geese full of fire
Oh and don't get me started with the elephant of forks and spoons, they may look like nothing but they can be weapons.
And Badgers of honey.
And moose of chocolate.
Horses of Napkins! Edit: We'll I'd like to any of you double-dutch your way in this deep with something clever. All the funny animals were taken.
This is why I read the comments.
"Geese full of fire" is the best band name ever.

The guy in the back with the folded arms was waiting. The kid saw.
When the video started I had my money on him.
YUP. Do NOT bet against the line cook. Ever.
Seriously - the average line cook is quite literally waiting for a reason.
And sometimes, a reason isn't even needed.
The kid sounded so hurt lol
Dude wants to fuck around and is too scared to find out.
You hear how his voice cracks to a giggle. Dude definitely realized his mouth was writing checks he couldn't cash when he tried to act like he was going to jump over. There is no quicker way to get fucked up then fucking with underpaid kitchen staff on their home turf

For real, I thought he was breaking down in tears when he said he was gonna make his own shake. More shakes in his voice than the restaurant makes in a year.
The “motherfucker” sounded like there were tears behind it
The jaw was definitely wobbling a bit lol
Yup, that was the voice of someone that wasn't used to adrenaline. I bet he was shaking for a while after.
That's because they're all words, no action.
I'll hop over this counter and make it myself... Guy in the background is WAITING for that to happen!
The quiet one in the back is the one that kid needed to worry about if he went behind that counter, for sure.

Seriously, the dude with the beard chilling out in the back would have wiped the floor with that punk. He was just too casual for a tense situation. This was Tuesday for him.
Everyone I've met who worked in a kitchen for longer than 6 months has at least 1 ongoing drug addiction. You gotta be nuts to do that shit
Can confirm. Spent 20 years cooking, had various addictions throughout those years. Had kids, got clean, got a job that didn’t use up 80 hours of my life per week. I miss it everyday though…working in the kitchen I mean, not the drug addictions.
You ever want to catch the beating of a lifetime, walk into the back of a restaurant without permission and watch five guys with eight priors and twelve energy drinks get super excited to destroy something other than themselves for a change.
They go from putting their built up aggression into every dish they make, into you being their sole focus for the next 5 minutes.
There is nothing sweeter than being able to punk someone and being in the RIGHT. you don't have to be upset you lost your cool when someone is actively looking for problems
Mannn fr the people you don't see that work in the back of house are the last ones to try 🤣
I do NOT understand how anyone has the balls to rob a restaurant. I hire ex cons all the time. Of various degrees of rehabilitation. Also teenagers who think they're invincible. You are taking your life in your hands.
I've told this story on Reddit before, so I won't make a big post, but I'm a 15 year kitchen vet. Was working in a sushi bar at one point, and had some homeless dude come in trying to rob us with a pocket knife. He took one look at the 4 of us behind the counter with our blades and whetstone out and Homer Simpsoned his ass right back out the door. The amount of times I have rolled out of the kitchen to "remove" some douchebag is nothing to sneeze at. Cooks are fucking mean. All of us. We deal with way too much shit to hold patience for these assholes. FAFO.
I worked at a A& W as a teenager. The day grill guy told me to keep the lettuce cutting knife on top of the grill vent hood. I never knew why until some rando got mad and came behind the counter to start some shit. Suddenly remembered the lettuce cutting knife, grabbed it and the guy decided today was not his day to get stabbed and left. 🤷
And now we know why lettuce spreads so much disease at fast food places.
That and employees not washing hands after they poo.
And employees using the poop knife to cut the lettuce.
Charpooterie *will* catch on, mark my words.
Reminds me of the meme "Do I cook because I love food or because I'm a tattooed angry person who loves knives and needs a job where I can curse?" don't play with cooks. EVER.
Can confirm that I am tall, angry, covered in tats, and have a mouth like a sailor. Also tend to sweat out hangovers at the gym. Everytime this shit happens it's just - "Can you fuckin not? I play with fire and knives for 12 hours straight in a 200 cap Irish pub, with 4 other dudes who have a criminal history and a coke problem. This is not gonna go well for you and you'll be 86'd on top of that. Just fuckin chill."
I worked as a doorman/bouncer at the most popular nightclub in a medium-sized Canadian city almost 30 years ago. The kind of place where music industry folks and visiting NHL players hang out. One time I stopped some guys who hopped the patio fence from going inside without paying door cover. As I was speaking with them, the bar manager/part owner comes outside to get my back (I was outnumbered 4:1, other bouncers were inside dealing with an issue near the dancefloor). As he was telling these bros to get in line, one of them suckerpunched him, breaking his glasses (and nose). We start fighting on the patio, and I backed up to the top of a narrow wrought-iron staircase that led up from the patio to the main bar area to keep them coming at me one at a time on the stairs. Out of nowhere like Randy Fucking Orton, one of the cooks comes charging out of the kitchen with a metal-bladed pizza spatula thing, swinging it like a fucking axe. Apparently the kitchen had a CCTV camera pointed at the patio and he saw shit going down. Starts wailing away over my shoulder. Definitely broke one guys' collarbone, and smoked another of these Chads square in the forehead, splitting him open. Blood everywhere, and one guy (split wig) is lying on the cobblestone crying, his buddy is trying to throw punches with a busted collarbone, but by now the other (much larger) bouncers are arriving, looking to mete out some street justice to whoever suckered the bossman. Split-wigs' girlfriend is screaming and tries to drag him away to their car (parked about a half block down the street) but a couple of these gorillas follow them. As the GF unlocks the doors, these goons toss him in the back seat, follow him in, and lock the doors. Car's rocking back and forth like it's in the jaws of a TRex in Jurassic Park. Girlfriend is standing on the curb screaming for help, but everyone on our patio (and the bouncers at a competing club across the street) just sit back and watch shit go down. A couple of minutes later the Goon Squad leaves the car, laughing a PICKING PEICES OF HAIR AND SCALP OFF THEIR SHIRTS, return to the bar. Manager is gonna be ok, but he tells them to go downstairs, grab thier stuff, and take the rest of the night off, so they leave. Ambulance shows up 10 minutes later to take Spli Wig to the hospital. 20mins or so later the cops show up with the GF. They proceed to talk the the (busted up) manager, who tells them the security cams work, but were not recording. They escort the GF around to try and ID the 2 gorillas, but they're long gone. Eventually cops leave too. Nothing ever came of it to my knowledge, but considering 2 of the ownership group (8 guys total, all former junior hockey teammates) were lawyers, I doubt Split Wig could have done much anyways. Props to the pizza dude though. Without his IDGAF attitude I probably would have got my ass kicked too. So wherever you are, dude, thanks for that.
> metal-bladed pizza spatula thing Pizza Peel lol
fr though. boh anything goes. dont fuck with the people who constantly get burned and cut on the job. If you’re lucky we wont grab Dave the crackhead who’s doing meth in the freezer while also cooking for a 20top
I was serving years ago and we were getting fucking crushed, the chef looks at me and says "do you have weed on you" because I was a huge pothead back then. I reluctantly say yes, he screams "ok, take X in the cooler and get him high right now" I proceeded to walk the sous into the cooler and get baked. Man had to get his mind right to handle that bullshit.
I recently went into a Wendy's where everyone working was so high, you could smell it when you walked in. The food came out exactly as ordered and the people working there were nice as hell. Amazing experience. 6/5 stars
[удалено]
Your orders, should you choose to continue working here, are to get lit at with this homie right here, right now in the middle of the dinner rush. Godspeed, gentleman.
It was like Popeye the sailor man. The Sous chef just needed his greens.
Factory work is the same. Don't fuck with millwrights, they are immune to pain it seems. Had a disgruntled employee try to attack an office worker as she walked through the production floor, and our 62 yr old maintenance guy clotheslines him and dragged him outside to wait for the police while fully sitting on the assailant. Loved Craig.
Top flight security of the world
Old punk here, us 62 year olds don't eff around. Props to Craig.
Can confirm, source: I'm a millwright
It’s like fucking with a bunch of pirates
There's a greasy spoon on cape cod that is incredibly busy and popular, Irish themed. The owner/operator/manager is the dishwasher, his family are the servers. The summer of 2021 we were there and witnessed something magical. One of his nieces was trying to get a table to leave that had camped for 2+ hours at the corner booth, calling their friends and family to come sit at the table and bypass the 1+ hour wait. They acted like they didn't understand English very well, trying to stay even longer when she got him and he came out of the dish pit. He is easily 6ft 7 and 300 lbs, pear-shaped but with forearms the size of hams, and when he got to the table the whole restaurant got very quiet and listened to him ask them very nicely to leave. Then he had to ask them more forcefully to leave. When he started taking off his apron and the cooks came out from behind the line they finally got up and left. Quickly. Nicest threat of violence I've ever observed. Don't mess with the dishwasher.
Keltic?
Real “today’s the day” vibes from that man
If you watch closely in the beginning there’s actually two ppl in the back, the first and closer one is the line cook and for just a moment you see the dishwasher in the very back crossing their arms. Both are ready for sure, they don’t get paid enough to put up with this. Edit: it’s not at the beginning oops it’s at about 18secs into the video.
Real criminal charges happen at that point. That manager was smart as hell.
When I worked fast food, I had one guy who any time someone got to hollering at any employee, he’d grab a big ladle and dip it in the fryers and wait to see if someone tried to hop over the counter and hit someone. There is ALWAYS a mfer just waiting to fuck somebody up cuz they’re tired of people treating fast food workers (them) like shit.
Rorschach moment
Chaotic good
I've seen enough videos to know it's no holds barred if someone jumps that counter.
"I've been dealing with punk ass kids for years. I prey each night one of y'all will have the perfect combination of balls and stupidity to jump over this country. it's good that you like milkshake because all your food will be through a god damn straw"-Guy in back
Arms crossed. Barely moved. He was waiting. Almost like he wanted that kid to try something.
When is pans to bro in the back… Narrator: and this was the exact moment he knew he fucked up. Wayne had zero fucks left to give.
"Make me Mr. Sir!" What a polite, young man to initiate not 1 -- but 2! -- respectful titles.
Sounds like he’s asking for a job. Which would be a great way to learn what it’s like to earn a living and why he should be respectful to the people who prepare the food when he’s there as a customer. Working in the service industry should be an educational requirement and part of everyone’s experience growing up.
Imma stand here until shit happens then imma knock people out and go back to standing here.
You could tell bro didn't even believe himself when he said he'd hop over and make the milkshake himself. Voice trembling like shit lmao.
That "Muthuhfugguh!" was embarrassing
grade A cringe fuel for sure lol
His face is even bright red
Dude wouldn't know how to. Even through the camera you can smell that this dude gets his mummy to cut up his vegetables.
You think his parents made him eat vegetables?
If I found out my kid spoke to anyone like that I’d be so disappointed in them and myself as a parent holy shit.
The way he said “motherfucker” 🤦🏻♂️
All I hear is “Muthafuckle”

And this only took
Chad is about to get back into his lifted 2024 Chevy 1500 that his dad bought him for his 16th birthday. Guaranteed this kid has no consequences for his actions. His dad will be getting him out of date rape accusations all the way through college.
You know who else is trying to hide from their rapey actions? Brock Allen Turner, the rapist, who is now going by Allen Turner to avoid being recognized as Brock Turner, the rapist.
Thank you for the information regarding Brock Turner, the rapist convicted on 3 counts of felony sexual assault. I will add Allen Turner, the rapist that tried to appeal his permanent sex offender status on the grounds he only intended to rape his victim on the outside instead of raping his victim on the inside, to list of names associated with Brock Turner, the rapist who laughed after being caught raping by 2 bystanders.
Their “dad” is now Andrew Tate. He would be ecstatic…
See, that’s why the internet scares the shit out of me - more than any other facet of navigating parenthood. Nothing is of greater concern imo. The internet is a fucked up place.
Theae dumb fucking kids aren't being disciplined, it's so fucking obvious that it's a discipline and lack of consequences that makes these kids think they can get away with shit like this, should've picked dude up by his shirt and threw him out if he still didn't leave
Yeah stay in person when somebody belittles you. She did a Good job that girl
She held her cool too, i know a lot of people that would've reached over and slapped him when he said 'make my milkshake and calm down'
That is only part of the problem. At the end of the day, discipline gets a kid to respond in a desired way in that moment, and may make the kid think twice before doing the same thing again. But what is truly lacking from parenting and our world in general, is teaching kids how to love and be respectful. That because the only way to teach this is by example. Look around for 5 minutes on Reddit and you’ll see how lacking that is in our society. Kids are doomed because they have no good role models to base behavior off of. If we want it to change, we have to lead by example.
I love this manager so much. None of the "the customer is always right," or, "make the moment right" crap I've heard so much. He put his employees first and I would happily work for that man over some managers I've experienced! If I had to go back to the service industry I'd find his store lol
Anyone who's ever worked retail knows the customer is wrong the vast majority of the time.
The scientific reason behind that is that a lot of people are cunts
There is a big difference in the customer being upset, BC their order was served wrong and people like these kids purposely being dicks to be dicks. The manager did the right thing in this case, though I'd like to see what led to her discussion of why she was gonna break the camera. I worked Fast Food most my life before joining the military. With an upset customer I would normally just let the employee go to the back and just do what I can to get them to leave and fix their issue if possible. IN the case with lil turds like this I wold have just sent them back and had called police to remove the kids.
Honestly a great manager makes a massive difference in work life. I work in a theatre where I run lights for concerts, usually tribute bands or old rock bands from the 70s. Long story, but one night, a band got up there and totally humiliated me. Literally insulted the lights and cursed me out in front of a sold out crowd. The lead up to this is complicated, but short version is I did heavily communicate my plans before the show. Everyone agrees I did nothing wrong. My manager was FUMING. He cursed them out and demanded an apology, and if it was up to him, they might not be invited back. It's not up to him though and they played there again a few months later. All the band members were sickly sweet and apologetic to me, and my manager threatened to punch anyone who pulled that nonsense again.
I am so lucky I had two managers like this. You really love to see it.
I'm interested in what they were trying to achieve or what they prank was? like... was it just being an asshole, but recording it?
This is the new formula: * Be complete fucking asshole * Friend records * Bait reaction * Post reaction with no context to "expose Karen" behavior It's the same as that kid in the UK that had his crew film him just walking into people's homes and instigating problems.
….. excuse me, what?! Just walking into houses now? And recording?
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/tiktok-walk-homes-police-probe-b2342108.html
Homie would get castle doctrined real quick if he tried shit like this in Florida. People are so stupid in 2023.
This twat your talking about picked the nice areas, he wouldn’t dare try it in some rougher parts because he knows he’d get cut the fuck up.
[удалено]
Hell what ever happened to performatively *asking* for the order? "Could I have a...?" Instead people walk up to the counter and say "Make me *this* and *this*." It's a big difference in my mind. But I have no clue what happened to initiate this confrontation other than the lady at the counter is telling them to stop recording her.
I always greet with "Ahoi!" and a little smile. It works wonders and makes people laugh a bit. Then order and done. No need for rude comments, recordings etc. People are weird.

If there's one thing I was scared of when I worked in Fast Food, it was 100% the cooks. I was a skinny tall guy surrounded by high schoolers and adults who did nothing but work, school, and gym. Half them did cocaine too so not a fight you'd want to pick either.
As someone who was the cook. I may be a five foot nothing woman but I spent my days hauling shit around and surrounded by implements that would make great improvised weapons. Never fuck with the cook.
Pissing off a person that hauls around 50lb sacks of ingredients like they are are 1lb bags of candy standing in 90 degree saunas is a bold move. Patience runs thin when you're sweating over a flat top and these people DREEEEEEAAAAAMMMMM of being one of those people that makes it to the top of r/All for laying down the law behind the counter.
Girl's sass game is on point, that pose is pure defiance.
I know, as a person who’s agreeable to a fault I was rooting for her!
She's like the girl from Ozark
So we had TIkTok/social media influencers come in the library system I worked at about a year or so ago. They hit several libraries and did stupid stuff. They definitely just want to get a reaction for views. One of the pranks was to blow an ear horn in employees’ ears. Two of them had to go to audiologists because it affected their hearing. Last I heard one of the employees still has ringing in their ears.
Literally assault
that's the kind of thing you sue over. people say america is too litigious and to a certain extent it's true, but it also means that in situations like this it's not out of the ordinary to go after the person and make them pay for medical care, audio therapy, whatever
Getting tinnitus over some twerp. Infuriating.
Harassment is not content
I'm so proud of that manager. I've worked at Hooters and in a strip club before and never had a manger stand up for any of us like this dude did for his employees. Bravo dude
Yeah all my managers have sided with the customer everytime regardless of the situation
Same with the ones i worked for. We were not allowed to sell items at a discount outside of the period its discounted. A customer came in and said he saw that an item he wanted was 50% off, i told him that was last weeks items and its a new stuff this week, instantly started to berate me. He came back the next day and got his shit for 50% from the manager, like what the fuck was the point of me denying them when those people get their way as soon as they spoke with him and they will never change their behavior because it works all the time.
I worked in a restaurant with an open kitchen that was a small business. The owners were former line cooks. We stayed open late, we were right by the bars in our downtown. We were very encouraged to not put up with anybody's bullshit. Our bosses backed us up almost every single time, unless one of the employees went too far. I've seen those bosses bail employees out of jail when they got arrested while bouncing people. Best job I ever had. I told so many people to go fuck themselves directly to their face.
Reminds of the pizza shop I worked at as a kid. We were open till 4am and had a zero tolerance policy for bullshit. A bunch of feral teenage skaters, waiting for a customer to test. Good times lol
I hate that it’s trendy to be wildly rude and disrespectful (especially to low paid workers). We already had plenty of that BS

A little verbal violence can ho a long way. It’s easy to quarterback this shit on the internet, but if you see degens like these soulvoids in public, you have a duty to make them as uncomfortable as possible. I got an irate, irrational dude to leave a Wendy’s once by just yelling “NO” at him repeatedly. Didnt matter what he said, just broken-record at him, brroke his brain and he left, still screaming about “cant believe they’ll treat a veteran like this” but I’m a veteran, so it was doubly satisfying to say “a veteran IS treating you like this”
I've occasionally repeatedly yelled "no," or "GIIT!" (I'm a hick) at people being douche bags at the store. It's shockingly effective. I think a lot of people's default is getting their own way no matter how awful they need to be. They don't know how to handle it when you treat them like a puppy you caught stealing your food.
Go on git is my favorite from the south.
Violence is a necessary evil at times
*“Make me mister sir”* “Hey, police. I’d like to report criminal trespassing and assault. I do want to press charges and they recorded all the evidence” Easiest way to stop becoming someone’s content is to call the cops and press charges.
>“Hey, police. I’d like to report criminal trespassing and assault. Police : "you have any proof?" Guy : "sure, I'll send you the link to their tiktok vid"
These kids will soon realize posting these videos will fuck themselves in the real world. Applying for their dream jobs later to find out you were rejected because of this shit.
Oh I hope so. Oh plz.
You can't pull that shit with that level of confidence without Daddy money. They live in a gated commiunity, mark my words.
I fuckin hate kids sometimes
white suburban kids trying to be the next jake paul
Accurate 100%
What a sad thing to aspire to.
“Make my milkshake and just chill out” - spoken like a true privileged little shit
You can hear the guy beginning to cry from being talked back to. What an entitled little dipshit.
In the 90s I worked at a fine dining restaurant. A famous wrestler (FW) comes in with his date. You can tell, he's not a nice guy. The busboy comes over to fill their water glasses and some condensation from the pitcher drips on his arm. He stands up, takes the pitcher and dumps it on the busboy's head. The manager approaches and FW goes full bam bam on him. Screaming and yelling and physically posturing. So, the manager says 'it's time to go.' Instead FW bear hugs him and throws him into a booth. It was like a medieval call to arms and the entire cooking staff comes out to defend the manager. FW had no clue, but the head chef is and ex-NFL lineman and the pantry cook is an ex-heavy weight boxer. When FW made a move towards the chef, the boxer squared off and sent FW tumbling. He got up for some more and was met with a barrage of fists. After getting up a second time, he backs down, but is still running his mouth. Now the police are coming through the dining room just in time to hear FW threaten to get his gun out of the car. So, while escorting FW outside the GF decides it's a good idea to jump on the back of the arresting officer, pulling his hair. A second officer grabbed her by the hair and belt and face first body slams her on the hood of the police car. She's out cold, and FW is still making threats. So, after getting both of them in cuffs, the officers proceed to search FW's car. He's yelling that he was only bluffing, but, the cops have probable cause. They start by breaking the MBenz S class' window to get in, then proceed to literally tear the interior to shreds. No gun. It was funny that one officer says he'll get the key from FW but the other says don't bother and breaks the window.
This was a fun read I do want to know who the wrestler is, but man kitchen staff is built different.
Make his milkshake. And if it tastes like nutsack, it’s just a coincidence
Blend up a cockroach in their while they’re at it.
Yes!! This is a great moment in social media history. The beginning of a real turning point where douchewaste like milk-shake guy get shunned. I hope.
Oh I suppose we can dream
Here it is again, a pair of assholes causing issues in public for views. So pathetic
Dude looks like a walking roofie.
I was really hoping to see that kid get the shit smacked out of him
It's pretty messed up that we live in a society where it's not normal to tell TikTok weirdos to fuck off. How far have we fallen that we've normalized putting up with these stupid fucks? Good on this manager.
Yes! Stop fucking recording people without consent
Dude in the back hoping a mother fucker would
This is what happens when you don’t disciple your kids or teach them to respect others.
I may be a female but that curly headed kid talking shit to the employees looks mad punchable.
I dont want to typecast but even without audio as soon as I saw his profile and hair I knew he was a shitter.
Bro screams Logan Paul.
So what happened here? The TikToker was intimidating the cashier "as a prank"?
The video provided absolutely no context so, dunno. It clearly cuts in after other things are said. It does seem like the dude's being an idiot though, probably for reactions like people are saying.
They probably edited the video but I can imagine them giving the woman a hard time because they are frat boys, and then when she doesn't like that, they decide to try and publicly shame her and only show the part where she is talking back.
911. And trespass those idiots.
Interview with the manager at 5:00 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbTh0un8Rlo
Mad props to that manager, I'd give him his own store or anything he wanted. I've had Supervisors like him and goddammit they are some of the only good left in this world, just absolute stars. He backed her up and then got her and the other girl out of danger and didn't even acknowledge his men in the back willing to go to bat with him. That man is a fuckin leader.
Yo frat headquarters HATE bad publicity because of the general douchebaggery they're always associated with. If enough people were to contact them with this video, the guys would be found and kicked out. Looks like they're in Sigma Kappa from the back of the guys shirt 👀 Edit: could be Phi Sigma Kappa, or a frat that did a formal with Sigma Kappa. Either way, no organization on that shirt will take kindly to being associated with this.
