Some employees just try to stay positive and focus on the good days. They remind themselves that it's just a job and not let the bad experiences get to them. Others talk to their co - workers. Since they're all in the same situation, sharing horror stories can actually be a way of relieving stress.
There was an incident where a new employee was trying to learn the drive - thru orders. A customer asked for a large Coke with no ice.

Well, a lot of people have horror stories about the cleaning. There can be some really disgusting messes to clean up in the dining area and the kitchen. Food gets spilled everywhere, and it's a nightmare to scrub it all off. Also, there are often issues with understaffing. You end up doing the work of two or three people, which is exhausting. And there are some managers who are just not very understanding and put a lot of pressure on the workers.
In the world of American Horror Story, workaholics may cope with the horror around them in different ways. Firstly, they could be so engrossed in their work that they are in a state of denial about the horror. They might consider the strange and terrifying events as distractions from their important work. Secondly, they may attempt to apply their work - related skills to deal with the horror. For example, a workaholic detective might try to solve the mystery behind the horror using their investigative skills. However, more often than not, their workaholic nature blinds them to the true nature of the horror until it's too late.
Well, in terms of career, employees might develop a fear of taking risks or trying new things. If they have had a manager who punished them severely for making small mistakes, they will be more likely to play it safe in future jobs. This can limit their growth and innovation. Socially, they may also find it difficult to trust coworkers or superiors in new jobs, always expecting the worst. And on a personal level, their self - esteem can be so damaged that it affects their relationships outside of work as well, as they carry the negative feelings from work with them.
I just laugh it off. I figure that these things happen and getting angry won't change anything.

Some workers might just grin and bear it. They know they need the job, so they put up with the unpleasantness. For example, if a customer is being rude, they will still serve them with a fake smile, hoping the situation doesn't escalate.
Survivors often cope through therapy. They talk about their experiences in a safe and controlled environment. For example, some survivors of the Miracle on the Hudson plane crash had to deal with post - traumatic stress. Therapy helped them process the suddenness of the event and the fear they felt during the crash.

Many cocktail waitresses learn self - defense techniques to protect themselves in case of harassment or danger. They also have to be very good at reading people.
