I used to work at a childrens indoor soft playcentre and i have so many delightful stories form that place lol Seriously the parents in those places are awful. But i have this one story that is forever burned into my mind above all of the kids pooing in the frames and vomiting in the ball pools.I was working the reception with two hours left of my shift when a dad came over to me, looking quite upset and told me his daughter had been bitten in the frame. Not an unusual thing. The kids were forever doing things like that to each other. Leaving another girl on reception, i walked over to his table with him expecting to see a little kid with a mark on their arm or something. However the little girl was about nine and was in floods of tears which i found odd over a bite. Her dad then lifted her shirt up to show me her back and i could only describe the bite as looking like she'd been attacked by a dog. It was bright purple and red from the bruising with blood running down it and i could see just about every tooth mark. I was so shocked i didn't know what to say. After a moment i ran back to reception and put a call out for a first aider before going back to the family and asking the father if he could join me in the frames to find the child that had done it as obviously i'd need to talk to the parents. He agreed but on my way there i got stopped by another kid, maybe about ten with a bite mark on his arm, though no where near as severe, who was crying because him and his two year old sister had been bitten. I left the dad for a minute and went with the ten year old and found that his sister had a mark on her shoulder like what the other girl had. It genuinely looked like someone had tried to rip her shoulder off. Her mum was just as upset so i told the boy to run over to reception to get the first aider for his sister before i went into the frames.Straight away it was a lot quieter than it should be in there and i looked around for this child that was biting people. We had three huge frames then so it wasn't easy. Eventually i found this kid surrounded by angry adults. He had to be about five and was swearing at the adults who practically had him cornered. I stepped in to diffuse the situation but i heart rate was through the roof. I genuinely thought they were going to attack him, they looked so angry. I told them to go back to their children and that i'd take this boy over to his parents. I took his hand to lead him away but he was swearing at me and trying to scratch me. I'd just got him out of the frame and turned to him to ask him where his mum was as i needed to talk to her when someone came running over at me, screaming and shoved me before grabbing the kid. Then his mum got right up in my face yelling and threatening me. I can be very calm even in situations like this so i tried to explain what had happened but i knew i was sweating and shaking. There were no other staff members around and we were hidden from all other areas of the center where staff would be except for the bar area (but they were too busy slacking off to keep an eye on things even though i tried to get their attention). So just when i thought this woman was going to thump me, the other parents who i'd managed to disperse, came running back over and got between me and the mother and started yelling at her which resulted in her starting to attack them. At this point i ran to the bar and screamed for another member of staff to get me more help, get a manager and call security. It was absolutely insane.Eventually security came and hauled the kid, his mother and mother's friend from the centre but they were swearing and trying to attack them. I was totally shook up from it all. It had been terrifying even though it was just for a few minutes. The other parents were great about the whole thing and understood, as a centre, there was nothing else we could have done. Though i had to get statements from them all to send to the police. In all i think ten to fifteen children had been bitten in various stages from what i was initially expecting to what had happened to the nine year old and two year old.It was by far the worst day i had working there and i worked through a lot of things that would have likely made other people quit. Those few moments when it was just me and the mother were legitimately scary as there was no one else there to help me.
I worked at a mcdonalds for about two years. The usual rude customer and drama was a daily thing. But there have been quite a few events that really stand out.There was a three month period of the sewage pipes in the building blocking up and over flowing, so all three bathrooms would be flooded and unusable. But what was worst was, somehow with how the pipes worked, it also flooded the kitchen. How the owner let it go on that long that our kitchen was being flooded with 1-3 inches of poop water, I'll never know. There was this one customer in particular that would get very very upset if his order was wrong. One of the first big events was, his order was wrong, he got angry. He then left the store and shot out an employee's car window.He was banned from the dinning area for that. Of course they still let him go through the drive-thru for some unknown reason. Which leads to my personal nightmare. He comes through drive-thru, I'm working the second window, I had him his food, and of course, something is wrong. He immediately freaks out and throws the sandwich back in my face and is screaming. It took everything in me to just stay calm, walk away and get a manager. He was finally completely banned after that.Theres also all the schedule drama too, that's always fun. So one manager in particular would change the schedule after everyone already got their hours for the week, with out telling anyone. So many people got in trouble for that, and that's part of the reason I got fired. How am I supposed to show up for work when my own schedule is being changed behind my back? Same manager was also scheduling people for 5 hour and 45-55 minute shifts so they wouldn't have to give anyone breaks.I'm so glad to not be there anymore.
