Today, my boss told me that there is no point in making me cut onions anymore because every time I do, I look like I've "been beaten", and can't be seen by the customers for at least half an hour. FML

Check with your doctor, OP. You might be having an allergic reaction.

Chewing gum always works for me, but is it bad that you don't have to cut onions anymore?

Hey look on the bright side, no more cutting onions!

Just dab a little lemon juice underneath your eyes. It should help... unless you have sensitive skin like me, then a cheap pair of swimming goggles should do the trick. :)

Or OP could listen to the boss and not cut the onions.

Know what really get's me irritated? When people use apostrophe's inappropriately, especially to denote plural's. Drive's me ******* nut's. It should be "customers", OP.

Don't be embarrassed. I have the same reaction to them. I don't even like them. Well at least you got out of something unpleasant. Maybe though there are some tricks if you want to try them like putting bread in your mouth when you are cutting them. Good luck.

Chew gum? I hear that helps. Cut the onion tips off. Then in half. Put the cut edges onto the plate ASAP!

when i was a manager at Quizno's Subs, we had a pair of goggles for people to wear when slicing onions. but try putting a cup of water nearby. the acid is attracted to the water in your eyes and placing water will nearby will attract most of it.

How did this get through moderation? *customers

I see this as a victory for you, OP. Cutting onions suck ass and should be passed on to the new hires.
