*Laughs in bald eagle*
!Rule 2 - NO MEMES ABOUT PROHIBITED TOPICS [SEE LIST]I’m American and have work tomorrow. It’s pizza delivery so it’s definitely going to be hell
Same here, can’t wait to boil alive in 100 degree heat with 70% humidity to bring drunk rednecks their pizza
We’ve had like 3 drivers call out for tomorrow so we are probably gonna be super understaffed too. I delivered at a different pizza place last 4th of July and it was the busiest shift I’d ever had.
I’m only scheduled for 4 hours, but I’d be surprised if I’m not held for 1-2 hours after my shift
I honestly won’t be surprised if I’m the only driver tomorrow
o7
Good luck brother. Stay cool out there and may we both live to see another day
While you're here, could I get 2 large pepperonis?
You got this
Gonna make that bag though. Good luck my man
I agree, good luck. I hope every drunk redneck you come across gives you a 20.
Or at least a couple of bottle rockets to set off.
I’ll report back with my milage driven and tips made. Even if its really good, sometimes you gotta wonder if the energy was really worth it
I feel that, but I used to at least get 20 for gas money each shift, which with my car was pretty good, especially back in 2010. Do places still give gas money for the shift? Or are you expected to cover that?
Maybe. Maybe not, I think people are getting pretty too fatigued with how it is ingrained in everything now.
Do you at least get a lot of tip on that day? or at least more than average?
I don’t even work at a pizza place but I’m scared I might get drafted.
Thank you for your service patriot !
Me: who works outside for 8.5 hours at an airport.
That's a great idea. Pizza sounds delicious.
Thank you for your service
Rest in pepperoni
In my experience I made bank on tips delivering on the fourth
Work in a restaurant on the beach. Parking will be soooo fun 🫠
I might have to work tomorrow.
But I get 8 hours of pay if I don’t.
And then I get 8 hours of OT on top of that if I do work it.
Damn. We don’t get overtime or holiday pay. This will be the second 4th of July I’m missing in a row. I didn’t have plans or anything this year, but I missed my family’s celebration last summer
Thank you for your pizza service.
You're the real MVP tho
Work in a truck stop deli, also working tomorrow. Not looking forward to the frantic back and forth from the fryer (shared with the restaurant) to the hot holds (across the entire fucking building) just to keep it stocked well enough
Ordering pizza for your 4th because your too fucking lazy to grill out would be illegal in my administration
I'm an AM for fast food, so I'll be there with you. Stay strong brother/sister!
I got work to bro, I'm right there with you. Just gotta remember it'll be over eventually, and work one step at a time. Good luck, I hope it goes quickly with as few bumps as possible!
Godspeed brother
I’m a manager/driver at mine. For some reason my boss gave me off. He has like 5 people total for the entire day tomorrow. I’m dropping my phone in a toilet tonight.
The Brit’s are lucky we never invaded them, otherwise they’d be speaking English now.
I lol'ed at that
Same
Lucky they didn’t have any oil!
Who said oil! We need to dig holes just to make sure. Maybe spread a lil democracy in our free time.
Amusingly, that’s also why the UK won’t ever agree to releasing Scotland.
The UK agreed to release Scotland in 2014 if they had a referendum and decided it leave. They decided to stay.
Because scotland would go broke.
There’s very little O&G left in Scotland, the people who live in scotland tend to be anti-oil as it goes anyway. Half of scotland is completely empty and like every other region in the UK (except London) Scotland is a net-drain on the british tax base. The only benefits they have are a bunch of fresh water and access to north sea wind farm positions. Would make life worse for the average scot and would either make trade extremely difficult between Scotland and England or would make such a small difference that it would not in practise be any different
Because scotland would go broke.
Which is why they wanted the union in 1707 in the first place.
This made me chuckle
Now, specifically? Listen here, son... most of America doesn't even speak English now.
You did.
One ship on a small fishing village, I believe. Just... World changing stuff.
We would be speaking a worse version of OUR own language
King Charles is a decrepit old fart. Nothing like our leaders in the USA 🇺🇸
Oh wait
But at least ours don't have the absolute and total unchecked powers of a king!
Oh fucking wait
Arguably, the president of the US fits that description better than the monarch of the UK. The king has very limited power these days and is subject to all the laws of the land, whereas the supreme court of the US has just ruled that the president is above the law...
FREEDOM!!! 🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸 Wait a second….
😭😭😭
Kings in the USA!
Our decrepit old fart is a tourist attraction, your decrepit old fart has access to nuclear launch codes
Sure but he can’t remember them
Best way to prevent a nuclear war is keep electing guys who can’t remember the codes. ☮️ ✌️
No one tell them that Joe is older then Charles
Joe Mama
:|
Charles isnt our leader, hes a rich bloke we have wave at people on special occasions
Nah, its not the same. Our Kings and Queens are basically above the la......nevermind.
Sorry we’ll be electing our centre-centre-left government on Thursday, but I know you guys are in the market for a Christian theocratic leader and we also have one of those who’s happy to come and take over whenever you need him.
The power of democracy 🎉
Sorry, we'll be too busy voting - have fun in November!
It's not so much the disaster in November as the one in January.
I have a feeling both are gonna be problematic this year
Yeah I'm not grabbing popcorn tbh
American working tomorrow. Please be kind to any retail workers you have interactions with.
Wait, I thought the secret cheat code to discounts and speedy services was being a shit bag to retail?
It is, and it fucking pisses me off. I’m raising my kids to do the right thing and so often I’ll be telling them the correct way to go about a situation and in the back of my mind I’m thinking, ‘Now it won’t accomplish shit and they’ll probably be assholes to you anyway but it’s the right thing to do.’ I hate it.
What's the point of having purchasing power and high American egoism if I can't bully some low class retail workers?
I want to deflect my inner stress onto other poor suckers to make myself feel "elite upper class wealthy".
(I always threw attitude back at customers when I worked in retail. There's a reason why I don't wear my nametag when the supervisors ain't watching).
Yeah..... 60% of the American work force still works tmw. Oilfield, customer service, and food industry just to name a few
60% is an underestimate. Holidays don’t exist as some time of national pride and celebration with loved ones.
The 1.5x or 2x hourly almost makes me cry less.
Yeah... I don't get those perks, those are for employees of a corporate job.
*laughs in 28 days paid leave/year*
List of countries in the world with zero mandatory paid leave for employees:
- Kiribati
- Marshall Islands
- Micronesia
- Nauru
- Palau
- United States of America
Other than them, the lowest is Taiwan, where employees who have been in their current job for less than a year only get 3 days.
Don't forget that you (and all other civilised countries) do not have sick days... you're just sick.
They are all off for an election. And most are getting ready or have already started their month long summer vacations.
Cries in Bald Eagle
Actually we don't get the day off :/
We don't unfortunately get the day off and no idea why you think we get a month long summer holiday?
Cries into tea cup
The only people with a month off are schoolchildren and politicians. I'll leave it to the reader to join the dots there...
Wait, British politicians only get a month off? How bland. Here in eagle land they take the entire year off doing anything important.
We do get mandatory 28 days a year off, some American states have zero paid leave
I get 5 days. To use as paid leave and for sick days and anything else for which they could be used. 5 days total. And they're not even granted at the start of the year. We earn it at 1.54 hours every 2 weeks. So uhhhh, yeah. ... BUT NO WORK ON July 4, yeeehaaaaaw!!! (No but really it sucks, I almost had to work it but someone else volunteered)
Interesting. My boss is in London and told me he had a holiday. Also he's gone all of August. Work in tech. No school children or politicians involved. I think he was saying there's something like 28 days of yearly leave and he can't be penalized for taking it all in one go. Not English myself, just assumed he was "average." Clearly not.
UK statutory leave is 20 days plus 8 bank holidays.
Most jobs probably get at least 25 days plus the bank hols. You'd need ~19 days for he whole of August as there's a summer bank holiday at the end.
Well an average person doesn't want to use all their vacation in one shot even if they have such a large amount. An average Joe probably want to spread that stuff out to recharge through the year, and maybe take one or two longer vacations.
No day off for the election here, mate.
The vacations are actually like 24 days spread through the year and more than 2 weeks off at a time needs managerial approval on most cases.
And our economy is in shambles because nobody plans more than 5 years ahead. So...that's fun.
Yeah, this is a TERRIBLE flex. Brits have way, way more days off.
No one gets election day off. We just go before or after work.
Yeah, stupid england what with their... kings... fuck
American here. Must be nice to have the 4th off. A lot of us don't. Treat your hospitality staff well and be kind to the guy at the gas station.
Be kind in general
We have far more days off
You've also given over 100 countries an independence holiday off
Just goes to show how generous we are!
Dont they get more PTO than us Americans?
I get seven weeks paid holiday a year. It’s great!
How do you sleep at night knowing you’re costing your CEO their second yacht??? smh
Literally every country on earth gets more PTO than Americans
wdym by this? I literally have work tomorrow(American).
Okay, but most Americans don't because it's a national holiday. Specifically, a national holiday celebrating our independence from Britain.
well I’m going to be celebrating my independence by hauling retail products off of a truck lol.
I'm going to go ahead and bet that most Americans do have work tomorrow.
How's that working out for you?
laughs in crumpets
NOT WELL LATELY, THANKS
If it makes you feel any better, we're not doing so great either... just the same sorta shit but with sexier accents...
God, I wish we were doing better. It seems like we're fighting against nationalists on both sides of the pond. We're both choosing between "Right-wing" or "Super-Right-wing" and I hate it. Things have gone to shit in the last 13 years, why the public thinks "EVEN FURTHER RIGHT-WING!" is the correct answer, I'll never know.
Tbh seeing how politics are going atm i'd rather be british.
hitler jr. or an old senile guy for president woo.
yea but my mom and brother work. they have to work pizza
Same most companies I’ve worked at or heard of makes you work on the 4th :(
I’m American and still have to work tomorrow
In my country there are two days of public holiday consecutively.
And universal healthcare.
Our Founding Father can beat up your Founding Father.
That'd be really cool because it'd be two zombies fighting
Have have that here it is called the presidential election.
i dont know, my moneys on Athelstan in a straight up fist fight, dude spent his life conquering the vikings in hand to hand battle.
Fun fact: I'm an American and a veteran. I work in a hospital. I requested tomorrow off and that was denied.
I checked and for some reason my manager scheduled every single other veteran to work tomorrow as well.
She's taking the day off.
Have fun, on fire, in November, America
This is funny to me because we get 25 days holiday annual as well as 8 annual public holidays. We also have statutory sick pay, some people have volunteer days and even some company have duvet days where you can literally say fuck it I can't work today. But good meme I guess?..I'll see myself out
Meanwhile the Brits are eyeing modern day America like "Well what the hell was the point of all that fuss, then?"
Made my day. But still love those guys across the pond.
Love you guys too! Have a fun independence day!
at least I can still drink my tea and eat crumpets
Imagine getting a Thursday off then having to work Friday
It amazing that Americans in UK will have more chances of getting the day off compared to Americans in USA, despite USA having it declared national holiday.
Walmart employees because Walmart gives no shits about holidays: Yeah, England!
This is a public service announcement to keep stealing from Walmart because that are the scum of the earth.
Yeah, so seeing as how we now have a King as well I feel like Britain is having the last laugh.
England laughing because project 2025 will make this the last 4th of July ever

You’re actually just electing the majority party. The prime minister is usually the leader of the party. Yes you know who that is, but theoretically nothing is stopping Sir Kier Starmer from being switched out for another Labour MP. It’s not akin to US citizens electing the president.
Sorry I was distracted when I typed that, ofc I mean general election
On the flip side of the coin, retail workers are going to face Living Hell tomorrow….
Lmao we get a legal minimum of 28 paid holidays a year 💀
I would defect to England for a European work-life balance.
Have fun on your one day off this year, Americans
Hello from Sweden to you all, I’m on day 3 of my yearly 35-day vacation.
laughs in crumbling country there ftfy. But hey at least theres bbq huh?
Courtesy of the last decade or so, there’s very little worth celebrating in the US. Even more so given what’s happened in the past week.
It’s just a random Thursday where I get to sleep in. Nothing more.
Why? We dont worship our politicians or riot when elections dont go how we want
Washington was literally the queens cousin. Second, all the world government leaders are garbage excuses for human beings, including america. And third to be free youd have to be free. But we have laws, rules, and regulations. That's not freedom. Freedom is almost chaos. That fact that we're forced to pay taxes numerous times a year, which means you're renting your property from the government. Youre forced to work 80 hrs a week just to get by then go buy your food wich has chemicals and poison in it. Constantly spending money on war overseas instead what the people want it spent on. You think you're free? Laughs in indigenous. Freedom was before 1491.
Washington was also a traitor. Just because he won, doesn't make him any less of a traitor.
🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅
(I comment as an American who works tomorrow)
Hah. Days off for holidays. That’s fuckin rich.
Meanwhile us Canadians two days ago: thanks for the independence! Have a good day at work eh!
I’m guessing more people will be at work tomorrow in the US than England.
Interesting
Which nation just made it's head of state above the law and immune to prosecution?
Which nation executed a head of state for trying to put himself above the law?
Sorry I can't hear you over the noise of all this free Healthcare, what was it you're complaining about?
Have fun having a dictatorship soon
Nobody cares outside the US
The only american Independence Day that matters has Will Smith
We are getting rid of the corrupt millionaire in charge today tell us when you succeed at that
Meanwhile UK employees on average enjoy twice the vacation/annual leave days of their US friends
I booked it off work using my abundance of annual leave which is enshrined in law :)
Enjoy it. It could be the last one.
Yeah SUCK IT tea bags
Ok, burnt beans.
Tea bags 😭
We can take it, we get more vacation anyway!
Laughs in red tail hawk Hollywood replaced eagle sounds with red tail hawks if I remember correctly.
Washington, Washington
Six foot eight, weighs a fucking ton
Opponents beware, opponents beware
He's coming, he's coming, he's coming
If it wasn’t for the French, you’d all be speaking English now….
Most Americans are working like any other day, so...
There is a 1776% chance I’m getting drunk tomorrow!
US is turning to fascism, but yeah, go set off a firework lol
Jokes on you, we have an election (this place is fucked)
i took 3 out of my 28 days legally given to me this week, enjoy your day off though americans :)
Bald eagles don’t actually make that eagle sound. Its the sound of a Red-tailed Hawk Squeeq
I work tomorrow, so fuck America ig lol
You laugh, but we're about to declare independence from the same rich scumbags you lot had a problem with all those years ago
Haha, jokes on you I’m unemployed.
Meanwhile in England: "High level government officials have started a second American revolution us underway and a strict travel advisory is in place. We advise against non essential travel to the U.S.A. indefinitely."
Don't you realize tomorrow is a day of celebration in the UK too?
Happy treason day! 🇺🇸
Canadian here. Enjoy your random day off in the middle of the week while I got a long weekend.
lol oh I wish I wasn’t American. You know they have better, meaningful and more holidays?
I'm so lucky everybody in the Us are gonna celebrate my birthday tomorrow fr fr
Given the state of our US government tomorrow feels more like a “celebration of life” we once had. In other words, it’s like a funeral.
🤦♂️ Jesus Fucking Christ. I'm American, and it took me longer than it should've for the joke to register. I've had a good run, but I guess it's time for be to be deported.
i’m american and i’m working my drive thru job tomorrow. please pray to whatever god you believe in for me. i’ll need it.
edit: this comment must have manifested my coworker asking for my shift for more hours omg. my paycheck is gonna be pennies but i’ll take it!!
Can't imagine living in a time when dudes wore those wigs and blush and you had to take them super seriously.
Its going to be difficult celebrating the 4th this year considering everything is going to shit
Are... are you acknowledging... the EXISTENCE OF ANOTHER COUNTRY?!!!
Mother fucker, we are kicking out tyrants today, it’s our general election.
Vote out the Tories
The saddest thing about this post is it illustrates how bad Americans are at taking the piss, and how much better the Brits are at it.
When the US tries to do it the comments are all, "We suck! The US sucks, OMG, my life as an American SUCKS!"
It's called taking the piss people, you play along for the joke. THEY know how to do it extremely well. Learn to have fun with it! (And avoid taking it all personally and getting petty and vicious with it.)
Being an American is its own curse that a hundred days off of work can't make up for.
Sincerely, an American.
actually it's election day so no work woooot!
Hahahaha like Americans aren’t working tomorrow and half don’t even had holiday pay.
Fun fact: that "SCREEEECH" sound everyone associates with the bald eagle is actually the call of a red-tailed hawk. Eagles chirp.
The majority of Americans have work tomorrow shit ass.
Meanwhile a good chunk of the US want to go back to the good old English ways of rule, by electing a moron rapist crook as their king.
I actually have the day off, I booked it with one of my 31 days annual leave each year (I also get 8 bank holidays off as well) so I don’t think we are loosing much sleep
Shit ton of Americans have to work tomorrow. Hell my gym is open tomorrow. I will also be working.
I'm not working today
