And if you don’t say anything to your friend, you’re a dick too!

And, your view of the world gets really warped. It's not really shocking that he would behave like a diva, is it? Maybe being a demanding child is all he knows of life. And, that is very sad way to be in the world. It is very hard to be a public figure when you are exhausted, pissy or depressed; you are expected to be on all the time for the public.

Long time ago, 10 years maybe. They had our Ops Manager running all day and night and were very, very diva-ish in terms of expecting everything.

I feel as though if this site was less female oriented though some guys would probably get all precious over it. I agree with what you're saying though. Everyone deals with crap in the service industry, so that's why I try not getting too stirred up about it. @Running: Haha, just playing.

They had an exceptional 5 part harmony acapella. JC Chasez in particular has an amazing voice. ^Hey, just because Justin Timberlake is a douche doesn’t mean you have to put down NSYNC!

Ha! Awesome! I like it 'cause it can also just mean irritating or thorny (note that "horny is contained therein, lol) And wow, it sounds like you should be running the whole restaurant CHAIN. I had many years in food service and it really can bring out the worst in people. Unfortunately, it's the same way in every sector, it just gets hidden better.

This guy serves as a great example of what happens when you allow fame to get to your head. I'm a college student, so I work at a fast food joint, which I know isn't a "real" restaurant nor does it seem as glamorous as serving celebrities, but this behavior is disturbingly common. I'm glad that most of the time I work behind the scenes preparing food and am not a service person because even though I'm generally very friendly and polite, I suck at hiding my emotions when I'm upset. I don't have a thick enough skin for that position. Sometimes our machines break down and I've witnessed many tantrums by customers, taking it out on the cashiers and runners as though they're the ones responsible for technical difficulties. Sometimes our computer systems crash and our managers have no choice but to calculate totals manually and relay their orders to the cooking staff, so they cop an attitude that it may take a minute or two longer in the middle of the night. Sometimes fast food employees get a bad rap for being unintelligent and/or slackers, but this isn't the case. We have some employees who *do* suck at their jobs and do nothing but take smoke breaks and socialize all day so they get nothing done, but I feel so sorry for all of the staff who get chewed out for difficulties that are beyond their control. It's one thing to be frustrated at the situation, but it's not *their* fault the Frappe machine broke down. It's not *their* fault if the system crashes. There have been times my overnight manager had to shut down the restaurant momentarily because of technical difficulties and while I'm closing the dining room, I can hear angry customers cursing out the nearest employee, including myself. Sometimes I get screamed at because the dining room closes at eleven PM, despite the huge signs outside the windows informing customers that we do so. I have gotten yelled at for some accidents made by service persons while I wasn't even on the clock. People just bitch at the nearest employee even if they weren't involved with the problem. More importantly, though, why can't people just politely address the mistake for employees to correct them? You don't have to scream at anyone for making a minor mistake.
