"My boss threw a bowl at my head and called me an idiot."
"At the same store, about a week prior to that incident, I had had the worst period ever and bled through my clothes, and repeatedly begged my manager to go to the bathroom. I was then told that I'd have to tell her exactly why I needed to go to the bathroom, and what KIND of emergency I was having. I ended up having to use my lunch break to drive to Wal-Mart to buy pants and underwear. Nightmare nightmare nightmare nightmare!"
"It took a while to let that sink in, but once it did, I went back and told him I quit and handed in my badge. He said, 'If you just walk out with no notice, they'll never hire you back!' I just laughed and told him that was fine by me."
"Boss man freaked the fuck out on me and said that I have no idea how to run a coffee business and to never tell him what to do. This was on the floor, in front of the full house. I said nothing, just turned to get my coat, and left. He went out of business very shortly after."
"I had the sense to know that either I walk out of here right now and I'm out of a job, or I brain this douchenozzle with the tire bar, and then I'm out of a job AND I go to jail. I pushed him off of me and dropped the tire bar, walked up front, and handed my manager my fob for the time clock and my tool pouch. Gave the old dude a 'Go fuck yourself,' on my way out the door."
"I got several odd looks and questions about what I was doing or where I was going (it was a very busy office without much time for just getting up and taking off in the middle of the day). I simply said, 'So long and good luck.' I never heard a word from those people again. My last check was deposited in full and on time."
