Completely stray from recipe while making food.

I am reminded of a Dilbert strip: http://dilbert.com/strip/1997-12-28

This story is the perfect metaphor for customer suckiness.

Receive a recipe from a friend.
Completely stray from recipe while making food.
Blame friend's recipe for the unholy concoction resulting from ignoring recipe.

At least the friend was able to correct the cook without getting in trouble.

Another "Corporate rewards an idiot" story...

This one actually has a happy ending!

Another story that really irks me - the "customer" for being a complete horse's ass and corporate for not taking a close look at the true situation to see what really happened but instead using it to punish innocent employees and protect their almighty bonus'!

Ohhh, yeah. This is a great story. Oh, yeah.

We are legion. We are hoopy.

This story irritated me for reasons I won't mention here, but the comments section seems to indicate I'm not alone.

Another "shoplifter gets away with it" story...

This one really ticks me off in that the OP's manager watched this happen and did absolutely NOTHING to stop it or help OP after the incident!

I was later told that the woman in question was ‘expecting a baby’ and therefore we should ‘expect a bit of irrational behavior.’

Oh. Hell. No.

Pregnancy is absolutely no reason to be abusive and violent towards anyone else. I wish I'd been there; that bitch would've gotten an earful from me.

Yes, I've been pregnant, and I've been irrational during that time. I wept at odd times, had nightmares, couldn't think straight some days. But I would never have even considered belittling and hitting someone like the bitch in the link did.

And yes, the manager should've stepped in. She would've had every right to throw Slappy McBitchface out of the pub. That's part of being a bar manager.

How can you be a manager at a game store and not know what the term "game launch" means?

I agree. That would have been a very good time to tell that mismanager that they if they think they're writing me up for following orders, they can kiss my books. (In other words, I'd quit on the spot.)

The perfect Catch-22 situation - employee follows established rules but is written up for customer complaint despite being told they followed procedure correctly.

I would have given manager the single-digit salute and walked out...

You know, I'm pretty sure I've heard this story before. Here. Over and over.
