'I quit. The look on his face was pure horror': 17-year-old leaves a huge mess at work for the chef that's antagonizing them

This person wasn't intending to quit their job… until their insane boss pushed them into it. 

Working back-of-house at a restaurant is a job for the toughest among us. Chefs cook meals in intense heat, under tight time constraints, and there's a lot of shouting that goes on in these tight quarters. If you've watched a show like "The Bear," or worked in a kitchen yourself, you know exactly how the power dynamics work. Chefs are the bosses, and everyone else is expected to listen to them. It might not seem fair, but it's a nearly universal way of running a kitchen. As a young person, it can be a valuable learning experience. But for this person, u/c0uldashouldawoulda, it was a trying time in their life instead. 

This story is a great example of that old adage that people quit jobs because of bad bosses. They might love their role otherwise, but spending 40+ hours each week with a toxic boss is enough to make anyone update their resume and walk. At least this dude did it in an absolutely legendary way, which you can check out below. 

Up next, this woman's husband has a really strange idea: he wants to open a restaurant where magicians are the only clientele, and he won't listen to any naysayers.
