Employees Who Have Definitely Earned A Raise
While some people float through their lives during the bare minimum, simply making it through their daily lives at work, there are others who like to go that extra mile.
Maybe due to an abundance of time, or simply because they want to make someone's day, some people really step up their game at work. As a result, anyone who encounters them gets to have a next-level experience too.
Let The Battle Begin
"In the special requests box, I asked for a drawing of 'a dolphin wearing a king's crown engaged in a sword fight with an alligator wearing a bowler cap.'"
Who would even think of asking for something like this?
Cross Country Turtle Trek
While building a railway in Japan, workers realized that it was going to be in the way of a common turtle trail, so they built a tunnel underneath the railway for the turtle. Everyone is happy!
Must've Been A Slow Day At Work
All it takes is one customer searching for the perfect carrot or an unblemished head of broccoli to ruin all your hard work, so enjoy this display before the store opens its doors.
Tetris Truck
We struggle to fit all of our food in the fridge after a big grocery haul, whereas this Amazon driver is out there perfectly filling her delivery truck like it's a game of Tetris.
Someone Had Too Much Free Time
This is one of those displays that would've taken hours to make, and while it's beautiful, it's going to topple like a game of Jenga the second a child wants a DVD that's on the bottom rack.
Breakfast Is Served
Staying at a cheap hotel means you go into your experience with certain expectations (or lack thereof, really), but this discount hotel knew how to deliver a memorable breakfast on a budget, including all the utilities you'd need.
That Adds Up
Even if your students still don't understand how you got from point A to point B, they know you're wishing them a merry X-mas, and they can learn about the actual math part after the holidays.
The Expert Facer
Talk about a satisfying day's work! And since you work in a place that the public frequents, you know that someone will mess it up, so you can do it all again tomorrow!
There Are Still Good People In The World
If you need your faith in humanity restored, this delivery driver who taped up someone's open window to prevent their car from getting soaked is just the story you need to hear.
Almost Too Good To Eat
You can barely handle picking out the right pie to buy at the grocery store to bring to your in-laws for Thanksgiving dinner, and then there's this baker who's turning pies into art.
Your Time Is Coming To An End
At the end of every school year, before students go away for the summer, this librarian dresses up as the grim reaper to collect all of the overdue library books students have been hoarding.
Dedicated To His Students
"This Iranian boy has cancer, yet his teacher comes to him every day in the hospital to fill him in on what he has missed at school."
This is the kind of teacher everyone hopes their kids will have.
Everything In Its Place
Not only is this cable closet organized, this closet is arguably perfect. Actually, you can't even really argue it. One look at it and anyone would agree that this is some impressive cable organization.
Keeping The Owner Updated
While housesitting for his boss and taking care of his dog, this employee decided to have a little photoshoot so his boss would see just what a great time they were having.
It's Occupied!!
You thought that those towel animals the housekeepers leave in your rooms were only meant to be on your bed, but someone apparently didn't give that message to whoever made this guy.
Why Doesn't Anyone Do This For Us?
All we want in life is to find someone who cares about us as much as this hotel cares about a guest who loves Dr Pepper and Snickers, but that's just a fantasy.
Spicing Up The Aisle
If you're ever bored while working at a grocery store, there's guaranteed to be a messy aisle somewhere that you dedicate hours of your life to rearranging, but very few employees ever actually make that commitment.
Hello, 911? We Have An Emergency Too
"After a woman was taken to the hospital with hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), two paramedics stayed behind to prepare dinner for the five kids who were still in the house. Afterwards, they also did the dishes."
Can they make a call to our house?
The Full-Service Barber
Typically, when we go to the barber, we'd expect the barber to take care of the hair on our head, and maybe some facial hair. Our barber never offers to take care of our chest hair too...
What Living Set Do The Light Sabers Come With?
IKEA employees already know how to go above and beyond when it comes to their impressive displays, but this employee decided to take it even further by adding a theme to their room display.
As If We Didn't Already Know Firefighters Were Good People
In between saving peoples' lives during the Australian bushfires, this firefighter (and many others) also went to the effort to make sure that all the animals they rescued were getting enough water.
Putting Chick-Fil-A To Shame
People say that Chick-fil-A employees are dedicated to their customers, but this McDonald's employee who helped an older gentleman eat his meal is setting the real example for customer service.
Let's Hope You Tipped Well
Half the time when you write instructions on a takeout order, they're not actually followed, but this person followed it even better than this customer could've dreamed of. They were expecting a poorly drawn stick figure-esque dragon at best.
Nobody Is Allowed To Take Any Vegetables
This vegetable display took who knows how long for some minimum-wage employee to create on a Saturday morning, and it could all come tumbling down thanks to one clumsy kid.
Get You A Real Man
It took you over a month to convince your husband to finally trim the hedges in the backyard and he did the bare minimum, whereas this man created a locomotive out of a regular ol' hedge.
Sharing The Love
You know when you say "I love you" at the end of a phone call by accident and the person makes it awkward? This delivery man would never make it awkward for you.
We Don't Have The Patience For This
When they said they wanted a unique door, the customer thought they might get a couple of extra carvings or a unique window on the door. No one was expecting this.
The Gang's All Here
So, not only does that man have a habit of adopting stray dogs, but he went as far as to build a train with spots for all of them so they can come to work with him.
No Waffling About His Talents Here
While we're sitting here trying to figure out how to build an ice cream cone without cracking our waffle cone in half, this man is out here creating perfect cones without giving it a second thought.
Committed To The Cause
Someone was truly committed to serving their food in the best way possible. One chef decided he simply had to serve his french onion soup in a literal onion, because it's the principle of the matter.
