Is Surviving the Next 3 Months Too Much to Ask?

Lately, I feel like my job is slowly turning me into a zombie. I work at a busy restaurant, and every day feels like a new episode of "How Absurd Can Customers Get?" Someone actually asked me if our chicken had chicken in it. Another wanted to know if the pork was halal. I just stared and answered, but inside, I was buffering like a broken Wi-Fi connection. 😵 I’m exhausted, stressed, and honestly, a little lost. I need the money because I’m moving soon, but these shifts are draining every ounce of energy I have. I’ve worked crazy hours before, but this feels different—maybe it’s the constant barrage of nonsense or maybe I’m just burnt out. Do you ever feel like you’re just barely hanging on? Because right now, I’m not sure how I’ll make it through the next three months. 😩 #burnout #workstruggles #customerstories #JobCareer

When Customers Ghost on Their Food Orders

So, tonight at the bakery, we prepped a big $60 order—extra dips, utensils, the whole nine yards, just like the caller wanted. She even had us tweak a few things, which we happily did. Fast forward to pickup time: she walks in, glances at the total, and just... walks out. No explanation, no payment, just gone. Now we’re stuck with a pile of untouched food and a side of confusion. Is this just part of the food biz now? Do you eat the loss, or is there a way to prevent this? Anyone else dealing with these drive-by diners? Would love to hear how others handle these situations, especially when you’ve already put in the extra effort. Honestly, it stings a bit. All that work, wasted. Any advice on turning this around or at least making sure it doesn’t happen again? #foodservice #smallbusiness #relatable #kitchenlife #customerstories #Food #Foodie
