When I was first starting as a server at this one restaurant, I swear every other phrase out of my coworkers' mouths when they saw me during the entire first 2 weeks was, "you having fun yet?". And everytime, I'd give a half-assed smirk and say "oh you know it". So dumb. That phrase still irritates the shit out of me to this day.
When I worked in retail, I had this wanker of a middle manager who would ask how I was getting on, and when I said fine, he'd always say "It's not rocket science, is it?"
He was mid twenties and only a few years older than me. He used to call female employees "babe".
One time I watched him get a withering telling off from a customer. The customer wasn't in the right, but it felt like a little bit of retribution for all us "babes".
