I worked at a cafe in a big shopping centre for a few months between jobs I actually liked. The manager was a nut and liked to throw her weight around.
Every evening she’d tell me to clean the coffee machine and get ready to close up. Every evening once I was done, she’d ask me to make her a coffee ‘for the road.’ I’d have to make it and then clean everything again.
I offered to make it for her before I cleaned the machine but she complained that it wouldn’t be hot enough.
I received a better job offer and was looking forward to one more week before leaving. However, the next night she wanted her coffee after we’d already had to stay back and I definitely wasn’t getting paid overtime. Everyone had left 30 minutes before. I had had enough.
I took care to spill coffee grounds everywhere, use as many utensils and jugs as I could and just make a huge mess. As I handed her the coffee I told her ‘I quit.’ The look on her face was priceless as she realised she’d be the one cleaning up.
Worth being poor for a week!
