Today I was in a cafe and they had a food delivery. The company delivery man was just leaving and the cafe owner called him over and handed him a free soda. No notes.
I worked for a guy once who had that kind of energy (and was also a lot like the old guy further down). I learned a lot about management from him. I also learned his secret - it was all an act. When he got home every night, it took him an hour to wind down from the day, after that he was just another dedicated family man to his wife and kids.
But he was fun to work for, took care of his people, and was always full of energy and the high point of your day when you met with him.
At work we have a manager who just turned 20 (was promoted when another manager decided she wanted to finish her degree full time and not have to work instead of studying). Older customers just don't believe he IS a manager
My experience is that, even when you give managers the freedom to do it, the free soda thing is only used correctly by about 25% of managers, the rest either give them to everybody for every reason or nobody for any reason.
i’m neurodivergent, pretty weird and extremely straightforward. i have been in more bizarre situations than you could ever imagine. not just at work either. it turns out when you’re not happy to be shit on, people treat you very differently.
the most bizarre situation me have been with creepy parents and their awful booger eaters. i have had children throw money at a fountain and it landed in my food. i have had people allow their kid to crawl into my toilet stall and my dressing room MULTIPLE times. at one restaurant parents allowed their toddler to crawl into my fucking lap. when i reacted poorly, these people THREATENED me.

I defy any real person actually to say "union union union". Try it yourself! But it's good on paper.
Great comic. Like all the best ones, it's addictive. Read one and you have to go on till the end.
Thank you very much. I’m sure I will.
Really it's just a brilliant trigger phrase that brings corporate HR down to the district for 4 weeks.

Best Damn Boss I ever had in my entire life.
Those are my favorite kind of people.
Union!

"Hey sorry I took a 2 hour lunch! I got my nose ring stuck in my steering wheel."
Oh, god, I forgot about that. Yes, “Keaton”. If I had put that in the strip, it would’ve been too weird for anyone to laugh.

That’s pretty wild and yet I don’t hesitate to believe it. People are crazy.
Unions are organized crime. Thugs and goons.
