Coffee Shop Customer Doesn't Understand That Employees Don't Work At Every Franchise

In a world filled with franchised restaurants, coffee shops, supermarkets, and more, you'd think that most everyone would understand that inevitably someone who works at one chain coffee shop location could quite possibly wind up visiting another one as a customer when they're off work and free to enjoy the world as they see fit. Some people — namely, the Karens who walk among us — get confused when this happens, but rather than admit to making a mistake, they just double down.

Redditor u/flamealee posted to the popular subreddit r/IDontWorkHereLady to share a story from their days working at a popular Canadian coffee shop franchise as a teenager. When OP said they once visited a different franchise location while waiting for their grandfather at a doctor's appointment, a customer who recognized OP from the actual coffee shop location they work at entered and attempted to get OP's attention, figuring they must also work there, too. Things got intense as the wicked customer apparently slapped OP's drink out of their hand and yelled at them to help her, only for the store's actual employees to tell her off.

A few days later, OP says they were working at their actual job when this very same customer showed up. This time, OP's manager was there to tell the customer off — Karen walked out empty-handed that day.

"You Had One Job" Moments That Didn't Get Things Quite Right

Most of us identify ourselves by our occupations. "What do you do for a living" is the first question most of us think of while making terrible small talk with a friend-of-a-friend as your mutual actual friend goes to the bathroom. In like a separate room. If it was right in front of you, then you would actually have something interesting to talk about.

Anyway, for most intents and purposes, you are your occupation until you reveal some kind of major personality defect that supersedes your job title. You stop being "Jim the electrician" and start being "Jim the guy who I saw eat a coaster thinking it was a cookie and who also says he's an electrician."

Even if we don't respect someone on personal grounds, we still assume that they're doing their job correctly. And based on images like these, it turns out that's too strong of an assumption to make.

Here are some "not my job" moments of unprofessional absurdity.

Funny, Random and Brilliant Tumblr Gems

The internet is a terrific collection of some of the most creative and weird people out there. And when you get a few of them in one place, all really jacked on vibes and frothing at the mouth to share their opinions on dumb science, vampires or extremely specific dungeons and dragons rules, you've got a good time on your hands. The people of Tumblr will go down with the ship on the dumbest of arguments, extoll the virtues of paying too much attention to movies from the 90s, and tell long, weird stories about the most crushingly embarrassing times in their lives. It's a mixed bag, but someone's gotta stick their mind hand in, so give it a good shake before you jam your brain mitts in there like you're stuffing a turkey with ball bearings and live bees.

Here are some more ridiculous, random, and stupendous tumblr gems.

Girl Gets Clever and Calculated Revenge On the World's Worst Roommate

Terrible roommates… Can't live with 'em and can't live with 'em. Am I right?

There's no shortage of terrible roommates in this world. But that 'terrible' scale can range from "doesn't contribute to household goods" to "Holy god. This person is letting strange people into our house who have no business being here." We all know which one we're taking in that scenario… The stranger gatherer for sure, cause at least they know how to party. 

A post we made about this classic Reddit thread is still seeing traffic six years later, so we thought it might be revisiting. "Loony Lucy" is an absolute gem that any of us would be lucky to have as a roommate. Redditor u/talesofakat's revenge against her is one that we're keeping in our record books for the sheer amount of reach that it has received. 

Scroll on for this doozy of a post and hell-raiser of a roommate. 

30+ Stories About Marriages That Were Doomed From the Wedding

Some things just weren't meant to be. Sometimes this is blindingly obvious to everyone except the individuals involved. 

This classic Askreddit thread saw all sorts of soothsayers gathering to share the moments that they bore witness to that made them certain that these unions would be doomed.

Of course, as you always do with these sorts of threads, you have the expected quota of serial cheaters and family brawlers. You also have persons entirely unmoved by their partner's specific needs. I mean, can you imagine booking a "honeymoon" for yourself shortly after saying "I do." to someone with a severe sun allergy? That reads like something drafted in a writer's room for the next Hollywood blockbuster starring The Rock in a green or tan shirt.

Peruse through this lengthy collection of stories and tales of others' misfortune. Maybe it's best to steer clear of this thread if you're on the eve of your own wedding.

Husband Caught in a Bit of a Pickle When His Lies Are Uncovered

When you've been married to or dating someone for years it's easy to get complacent and think that you know everything there is to know about them. It can be surprising then when they then throw something at you completely out of left field. It's in those moments that you're then reminded just how deep different facets of ourselves can be buried. 

This combined with the fact that who we are is constantly shifting, growing, and changing can hopefully keep things interesting enough in a long-term relationship. That begs the question, is it ever possible to truly know someone in their entirety? 

If someone can hide such a vital part of their personality for as long as this husband did then we would be led to think that the answer to that question would be a resounding no. After all, pickle preference is an important aspect of a relationship. 

As commenters have pointed out, pickle preference is a bit like "The Olive Theory" from How I Met Your Mother.
