What was the craziest day you ever had at work?

Last #Thanksgiving Eve, I was bartending at a local hotspot in the Boston area. (In case you didn't know... the night before Turkey Day is the BIGGEST drinking night of the year in the United States.)

We were short staffed and it was just myself and one other bartender ... BOY did we get rocked! We were so busy that a barback from a different restaurant next door came in to help us. In just 5 hours, we did more sales than we had the last two FULL DAYS combined!!!

I walked out of work at 5:15 AM that morning, feeling like I got trampled by a herd of wild animals. Nearly a year later and I still cringe when I hear someone order a "vodka, soda, splash of cran".... 🍸

Have you ever had a CRAZY day at work?? Share below!

Interesting question @Elyssa Duncan . I guess the most memorable day was when the company chose Ashley and me to fly over to Aurora, CO to reward this Jobcase Community member with a New Car.

Crazy Good Day!

The day when I was a server on Valentine's Day at a restaurant in downtown Providence, RI. The kitchen could NOT handle the rush and people were continuously walking out without paying and my manager (I kid you not) HID under her desk!!!

There was a Christmas Eve many years ago when we had 32 new patients to ship. I work in home infusion and we had a large organization. Came close a couple of times but never reached that level again.

That's easy for me, I was on my way home from the zoo grounds and met Christopher Reeve and his entourage.They all left and Mr Reeve was by himself so I stayed and made sure nobody bothered him. He liked that I was the shark feeder and I was a body guard for Superman for a short while.Ford
