Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
Rather than "we're short staffed tonight," maybe try "Hey, want to pick up a shift tonight?" The passive aggressive tone kills me lol
Nothing wrong with asking someone if they want to work, but you've gotta be ok if they say no when they're not scheduled
The reason the manager didn’t do that is because this is a screenshot of a fake conversation.
Oh no, what happened to Buster?
He got blown up a few times, among other things. I don't think the original survived Mythbusters
He became a druggie unfortunately
I have had similar conversations with managers in the past, this may be staged but it's all too real.
i thought that was obvious. I mean the contact name is "manager"... isn't the point that people wish they would respond like this?
Youre a manager. manage to get your ass in there
✏️ downvoted by a manager apparently
You know what's going to be asked next, so here's the response:
"Sorry homie, I've been drinking"
Actually used this once, and it wasn't a lie or stretching the truth
Good call, never lie to your boss. Crack open a cold one as soon as the first text comes in
After. Just been drinking after.
"If you need extra hire, a friend is looking for a job, I could get you in touch"
In my restaurant there's a four drink minimum before you can start cooking or serving customers.
I got the least serious bollocking of my life from the manager of the bar I worked in when the exec team of the bar I worked in bought me 12 jagerbombs in a single shift
How much coke was involved?
for us plebs sadly none
12 jagerbombs and no coke is a war crime.
And no maximum?
Most people find their own maximum.
Some find it and just leave it faaaar behind them
Remember this scene in Ratatouille where Colette talks about the sordid pasts of the kitchen staff? Now consider that that was bowdlerized for a kids' movie, compared to reality.
TIL "bowdlerize" https://www.englishgrammar.org/bowdlerize-means-sanitize-book/
what a prude, that Thomas Bowdler. Shakespeare was too spicy for him!
Shakespeare's work has a lot of dirty jokes, they're just made with terminology modern English speakers don't know or don't realize was dirty back then.
"My grandma died.."
At work, I don’t appreciate implications. It leads to mistakes and misunderstandings. Bad for business.
implications
Or you could just not reply.
That’s what I’ve always done, wait until the shift is nearly over and be like “just saw this, hope it all worked out!”
Yesss, “sorry I just woke up! Did you manage to find someone?”
The … always gets me
Yep, the text is great, but that's the punchline.
That is the sign of incoming disaster.
It really bugs me that they spell good luck as a single word.
Twice
It's because they've been drinking
