Oh. My. God.

Glory hounding. Trying to do the right thing for the sake of appearances whether it kills anyone or not

the final sentence killed me :-)

I would use that even if my father didn't die... you got served and I wasn't rude to you... smiling is nice, but you can't expect someone to be smiling the whole day

They get paid $7 an hour why would they want to smile for that? People are so entitled

"You bought a coffee, not my facial expression. That cost extra."

This is also an indictment of the workplace for making the employee come in when she was freshly grieving.

is it so hard to be nice to people serving you???

Knowing how hard my wife works (in retail), and knowing what they have to put up with, I would never judge someone for not smiling in any job role!

The customers who tell you to smile are usually the ones you don't want to smile at.

Sometimes it's just not about you.

I guess it's a cultural difference thing, but this fake costume smile gives me the creeps. I often find that when when I'm being polite throughout the interaction and thank with a smile I get an honest smile back.

omg.....that is so sad :(

I have been told to “smile” so many times. One time someone I loved had just died. I started crying and ran into the bathroom. For some reason I got in trouble with the boss.

You need to put yourself in their place, don't judge just appreciate them

I don't mention not smiling, because my face is naturally ...sad resting face lol. But if I heard that, I would give the barista at least a $20 tip. yo, f**k a smile. And why would they put them on a shift dealing with people? They showed up to work, cool, but at least put them on the duties that don't require too much customer interaction.

I think some people expect too much from service workers. I am selling you coffee, not endless joy. If you want endless joy watch a Disney movie.

No one working in the service industry OWES you a smile! What a douchebag!

I thought smiling is earned. You smile first and be nice. Its easy to earn a smile.

Damn, I feel real sorry for the barista!!!

Remember that everyone has something difficult going on in life. Be kind.

Why oh why would you be working the day after your dad died. And please spare me the whole "maybe she needs money thing" I get that I do. I even get maybe getting fired if you miss a day, but here's the thing, if / when my dad dies I will NOT be at work the next day and if you fire me for it, well I'll be job hunting with a smile knowing you will be burning in hell for that one day. Family is ALWAYS first. Oh and to anyone saying "maybe she wasn't that close to her dad" well if she wasn't then I doubt she would've started crying then and there. And regardless of the situation..... stay home if your parentals pass away my lord.

This is absolutely infuriating

Can someone explain this please ?

At least he's honest.

Brain exe has stopped working

Imagine being so small-minded that you have a meltdown over what fried potatoes are called.

I get it... the mind is a stupid thing and will often do something like this

Stories that end too soon...

Ohhhh I've been there. I really have. There is genetic variation within every race... You can't say "you're not caucasian, because your nose is too big". I don't appreciate idiots who think they know your race better than you

This is hilarious, I can't stop laughing.

I'd say that lady is definitely going to miss her flight once the "grade-school educated" security person is through with her.

They tried to steal your work. Charge them double.

It's so sad... Even if you don't like lgbt, you could at least be civil enough. Surely there is some area between best buddies and worst enemies. I know this because I met people who believe i am going to hell, but they're still my friends :)

Aren't you allergic?

Wow, crazy people

Ah yes, money is overrated

I wonder why he is no longer in business

Thieves trying to look innocent

At least they apologized.

you can't be THAT dumb!

As A German I find that very disturbing

I think they just felt awkward

F*****g racist c**t.

Nothing will stand out there
