Imagine being off-duty but someone expects you to work anyway just because they associate you with your job.

This is what happened to this woman while she was working on her thesis in a restaurant where she worked at night.

What would you do in this situation?

Let’s see what happened.

“but i want coffee”

I used to work in a restaurant pretty close to my place a couple nights a week while finishing up my thesis.

One day I decided to bring my computer with me so I’d have lunch and work on my research project as it’s a pretty chill place in the afternoon with calm music and overall a good vibe.

Regulars recognized her.

People came up to me and said hi all afternoon and were genuinely happy to see me as a client so it was a fun experience.

But then a lady came in, sat down next to me and told me she wanted coffee.

me: I don’t work today
her: but you’re right here
me: yes but I’m working on my research project right now

She sounded almost offended that she wasn’t working that day.

her: but you do work here
me: yes but not today
her: but I want coffee
me: there’s my coworker xy, you can ask him
her: can’t you just make it for me?

Things turned sour really fast.

me: sorry I can’t I don’t work today
her: but it only takes like a minute or so
me: I literally am not allowed to make your coffee today but I can tell my coworkers if you want
her: why can’t you just make it for me, how lazy are you??

She left without getting one and never came back as far as I can remember.

Is she okay??

Let’s see how Reddit reacted to this.

Yup!

Hehehe.

Someone shares a similar story.

How scandalous!

Interesting take.

I bet that she was shocked when she learned that her teachers had lives outside of school, too.
