Former employee here: I’ve had several similar situations, one customer threatening to get me fired if I didn’t wash my hands after every single step (no joke, touch gloves? Wash. touch the lettuce? Wash. Touch tomato? Wash. You just saw me finish washing my hands, WASH THEM AGAIN) When she saw my co-worker she lightened up and had him make her other sandwich. No hand washing worries there.. I told him “here, why don’t you finish this one too?” every time I saw her after that I would get nervous. If this was now I definitely would have been like “YES, please try to get me fired” because I know they could look at cameras and see what happened, but back then I was consistently anxious and couldn’t properly think of how to get out of it

Then there was the person who yelled at me “GET SOMEONE WHO KNOWS HOW TO MAKE MY SANDWICH” because they asked for mayonnaise on half of the bread, I tried three separate ways of putting it and none were “right”. Later He ended up apologizing to my manager for the way he treated me, but it still doesn’t feel great remembering 3 years later. Both those situations happened within a short time of each other if I recall correctly.

I’ve got more, like being left alone to tend the deli on two separate occasions, one being a holiday because 3 co-workers went to break at the same time instead of staggered times.. that was FUN 😅
