Maybe you shouldn't work in the service industry if you're so judgemental. I know this kind of copypasta doesn't bother anyone else.

This is copypasta, but I'm confused as to why anyone would bother.

>Italian tourists. 3 children and their mother.
>She asks if there will be northern lights this evening. Regrettably inform her she won't see it due to the midnight sun making it too bright.
>Pulls out some sort of travelling brochure stating it says she'll see northern lights.
>Somehow this is my fault. Being a passionate Italian shes never heard of inside voice and is causing a scene.
>Trying my best to calm her down.
>"At least you'll be able to experience the midnight sun!"
>She calms down, asks me if she'll at least be able to capture both suns in one picture.

Tried to explain once again, but she wouldn't have any of it. I was now the sole destroyer of their vacation and that was that. Some people just can't be reasoned with.

Fuck.

It's copypasta in the sense that you have copied it regardless of whether you are the originator.

Yes, that was the story about the americans. I added that for flare.

All I really want is to load off some steam after a harsh day at work. I'm surprised anyone even remembers.

>I was working in this restaurant
>And these people of INSERT NATION OR ETHNICITY were being rude and uncivilized
>We all had a laugh when they left

Sometimes I believe my restaurant is too strict. We have to present the food we serve, but more often than not I ruin the punchline of what would've been an hilarious story. Sometimes we have guests that simply aren't familiar with fine dining and they obviously feel out of place.
