I worked at a small manufacturing company where the boss was mentally unstable. One morning he stormed in, furious that the order entry department had made a mistake, and fired all five employees in the department.
Later that day he comes in yelling at the operation manager that no orders were being entered. When the operations manager reminded him that he fired everyone in the department, the boss seemed confused and asked what that had to do with anything.
Coworker 1: So how do you like your new car?
Coworker2: Its good, but I thought it was supposed to get better gas mileage. I just filled up the gas tank, and it cost the same amount of money as my old car did.
Me: “Welcome to [fast food chain name], may I take your order please?”
Customer: “I want a Cobb Salad, no Cobb!”
Me: “No what?”
Customer: “No Cobb! I don’t want no Cobb!”
Me: “Cobb was the chef who invented the salad, he is not an ingredient. We put eggs, tomato, bacon, chicken and blue cheese on our salad.”
Customer: “Blue cheese! That’s what I don’t want! No Cobb!”
Me: *giving up* “One Cobb salad, no blue cheese. That will be [price], thank you!”
(At the drive though window.)
Customer: “That don’t got no Cobb, right?”
Customer: So, do you work here?
Supervisor: No.
(customer walks away)
Supervisor to me: If she had asked if I were employed here, I would have said yes.
