Everyone knows that the service industry is not for the faint of heart. Dealing with people day after day can seriously test your patience, from rude encounters to outright angry ones. But sometimes, it’s not even the customers who end up being the most frustrating part of the job.

This Redditor used to work at a coffee shop and often picked up overtime to help her coworkers survive the busiest rushes. Her manager, however, decided she was doing too much and banned her from taking any extra hours. So the very next day, she followed that rule to the letter, clocked out right on time, and left the manager to deal with the inevitable chaos.
