Man, anyone who has ever worked a customer service job will appreciate the fact that you never know what kind of craziness you're bound to encounter on a shift. It could be juggling customers' mythologically strong coffee orders, or it could be having to work with someone who is the pure example of chaotic good. Always something new in the life of a barista.

Sparkling water is a decisive topic. Some appreciate a light alternative to juice and soda, and everyone else demands to know where the flavor is. It's hard for many of us to spend money on a product whose selling point is that there's almost nothing in it, and that generates some pretty hilarious complaints. For more twitter stuff, here are funny tweets to give that day a boost.

Sometimes school staff doesn't exactly have a consistent policy, like the time staff made a student patiently wait to report a fire. After some absolute BS rule nitpicking by the staff, this person decided to read up on the rules and dress with extreme panache. Sometimes students get the best of their teachers, like this student who made a mockery of a robotics competition with a dry ice loophole.

Man oh man, these entitled human beings and their unyielding series of demands just keep on coming out of the woodwork. It seems as if it'll never end. We'll always have the next person ready to ruin an otherwise reasonable and peaceful series of negotiations with nothing short of pure delusional entitlement. In this case, we have an influencer who expects free accommodations in exchange for offering the hotel some exposure. Let's just say she was not nearly established enough for that to even be within the realm of consideration.
Check out some more absurd demands of entitled people over here.

Every now and again the wonderful beings of the Tumblr world deliver a quick, impactful, wholesome story that hits us right in the feels-plex. In this case, we hear about a barista who worked in a rough part of town, but ended up being helped out by some kids that went full "chaotic good" mode. Seriously, picking a lock to help take the trash out is about as chaotic good as it comes.

Man, this manager sounds like a slimy, lying piece of work. They totally led their employee on with the whole commission structure, but their employee had the nerve to call them out when it all came down to it. Being able to turn that letter of resignation in right when everything came to a head must've been immensely satisfying.

It's people like Fran that give the assistant managers of the world a bad rap. In this case, we see Fran express no level of sympathy and understanding for her absolutely exhausted employee who was fresh off an overnight shift. But alas, as will happen, the employee hit their breaking point, and decided to put into play some delightful malicious compliance. Fortunately, that malicious compliance ends up serving as the catalyst for getting Fran out of the business.
Check out some more juicy malicious compliance content with this lying Karen who used her old employer as a reference, and then it backfired terribly.
