Its sad how this is actually a more realistic depiction of how our world works. example: gas is 99& profit, aka 99% waste, just so some billionaire can buy some more super yachts.
@@RearAdmiralTootToot That's quite an inaccurate argument. For starters you misunderstand profit margins. Profit margins don't go to anyone who receives a salary from the company. Part of profit margins are spend pro-actively on the company. Buying new equipment or hiring new workers, maybe used for product research or stuff like that, and part of It is returned to investors proportionally to their share. Profit margins are the "scoop on top" of the production costs. Production costs include everything from the CEO's salary to taxes, from building and equipment maintenance to worker salaries, and from raw materials to distribution costs. It would be true that if CEOs weren't paid so much, the production cost would decrease, but the CEO's salary is not 99% of the production cost, or even close to it. Finally, profit margins on gasoline are roughly 12%. So basically for every 100 dollars in production costs, the investors who paid those costs get at most a 12% return. Economics isn't as simple as saying "Rich people bad". Whilst there are many rich people who earn their money in unscrupulous ways, there are also many who don't. To punish the former whilst encouraging and enabling the latter is one of the important tasks of government.
To be fair in the first one he was working at one restaurant while he obviously went to a different one to be served. (He would know that something has to be incredibly wrong with a person for them to be forced to eat alone.😅)
Oh, look! They've published Hamish's acting reel on the main channel! *Hamish Parkinson* Actor, Writer, Cleric of Tempest Domain Can Play: Scared, Bullied, Gaslit, Screaming, Breaking Down, Broken, Shattered, Beard Special Skills: Crying, Shouting, Getting Robbed (on command)
My favorite story about retail is a few customers questioned a manager about some items and he told them what they were looking for was at the front of the store. They looked at the manager confused but the manager assured them the items they were looking for were again near the front of the store. Upon arriving at the front of the store they were told the store was closing and if they weren't going to buy anything they needed to leave.
Moral of the story: If you see Rowan or Ben when you walk into a restaurant or retail store, turn and run like the hounds of Hades are hot on your heels😂😂😂
It feels like a guilty pleasure to enjoy watching Hamish suffer like this. His beard is glorious! Also, Hamish as the fruit merchant is some of my favorite content, especially when Rhi plays his wife.
I'm convinced Hamish is stuck in some weird retail purgatory. He is doomed to have to come into Techtown each day, no matter how awful his prior experiences have been.
The delayed order (3:10) is highly funny but really bizarre too. I do wonder what is Rowan's true motivation for just pretending to process Hamish's order? Is he unable to grasp what he needs to do? Or is he just trying to piss off Hamish off? Taking a $4,000+ full payment and then not even trying to process the order seems strange.
Watching this make me think that Hamish doesn't remember his experience with techtown.every time he get to this shop it's like he's there for the first time.
Sometimes it's hard to tell if Rowan is just incompetent, hates people for no reason, or actually thinks he's doing a good job with some kind of mental gymnastics Or all of the above; forgot that one
14:05 Manager Rowen really is horrible. Between cheating customers and stealing Adam's lottery ticket, I think he needs to get taken down. 19:01 And we can add gaslighting to the list.
25:40 I can't fault Rowan for that one. It sucks when a customer comes in last minute and skulks around while you're trying to close. Good to get a little payback on them.
Poor Hamish , he’s too nice , most people would’ve asked for a refund by now. Or I would’ve just grabbed the one off the floor LOL. Love VLDL , been watching for at least 5 years or more. Bored is my favorite skit they do. 👍👍👍✌️✌️✌️
This video had me in stitches! Absolutely hilarious exchanges, especially the part with the "Playtech special". The comedy is top-notch and the timing is perfect!
Those 2000 dollar plastic bags were just so Rowan could afford Ellie's wage.
True
Me if I were rowen
signing ellies termination papers saying your a girl your a girl your a girl

So basically, Hamish is the sole source of income of Techtown. And then Rowan finds hundreds of ways to cut paychecks. Techtown lore
they were still at Play Tech during these vids
The plot thickens....
They have families to feed
Hamish pays also for all the Ben's scams
Nope, only families to pay.
The way Hamish went "you are not using the keyboard correctly" in the delayed order skit just always get me. He is such an amazing actor lol.
I love his accent and his way of acting, he is such a brilliant addition to the team.
It's been 84 years ... and Hamish STILL hasn't received the PC he paid for lol
Poor hamish 😭😂
Yes, Byron really dropped the ball on that one. Even after Rowan did everything he could to get it delivered...
Which is why I never pre-pay for anything
at least he has a 2000 dollar bag.
I can definitely see Rowan turning up while Hamish is on his death bed with the PC
I'm starting to think this is a "Truman Show" type universe designed to torture Hamish
Most underrated comment.
(Edited for spelling)
Alternate name: Rowan vs Hamish
Alternate name #2: Hamish getting screwed for 30 minutes in a row
I would expect alternate name #2 on a different type of video site.
Hamish was born for getting screwed... Uh... Yep, I'm going with that.
Alternate name #3: Hamish singlehandedly funding playtech's success
Who erases hamish’s memory at the end of each transaction HAHAHA
Poor Hamish ... stuck in retail customer service hell AND he's stuck in a miserable marriage while no one will buy his fruit
Well Hamish doesn't sell fruit. Fred does.
@@TKFKU wait, you mean to tell me, Hamish is an actor playing a role??? Wow, no shit!
@@culmo80just that in every show but epic npc man he plays a character called Hamish.
Ben in the beginning: NO ONE EATS ALONE!!!!
Ben at the end: can I have a table for one😂
Underrated.
Holy shit I didn't even think of that.
To be fair in the first one he was working at one restaurant while he obviously went to a different one to be served.
(He would know that something has to be incredibly wrong with a person for them to be forced to eat alone.😅)
Oh, look! They've published Hamish's acting reel on the main channel!
*Hamish Parkinson*
Actor, Writer, Cleric of Tempest Domain
Can Play: Scared, Bullied, Gaslit, Screaming, Breaking Down, Broken, Shattered, Beard
Special Skills: Crying, Shouting, Getting Robbed (on command)
Wait... Beard is a role?
@@snyperwulffgaming9575it is when you wear a beard that well!
@@snyperwulffgaming9575 If you have to ask, you'll never understand.
Clearly the foremost Beard player.
Don’t forget Shmerlock the high sorcerer of Argyte
"Delayed Order" is my favorite sketch you guys have ever done
"Poor Merchant" for me! 😂 But they're all really funny!
My favorite story about retail is a few customers questioned a manager about some items and he told them what they were looking for was at the front of the store. They looked at the manager confused but the manager assured them the items they were looking for were again near the front of the store.

Shame on Hamish is not learning to shop at a different tech store.
The definition of insanity.
Hamish is the best customer you could have. Despite being treated like shit by Rowan, he keeps coming back and give them money. What a loyal customer!
Maybe he should start shopping at TechTown instead of Playtech.
Keeps shopping at the playtech, over and over again, expecting shite to change.
@@swapnilkumar9363 It's literally a skit
@@voomyno seems like someone isn't into gaming.
Hamish is a really good actor 😂
"Do you want us to shut down?"
Hamish: "Um, yes, but I'm too nice to say that"
I had forgotten that Zaza's signature "Hideous Laughter" joke went back to a classic Bored sketch.
It feels like a guilty pleasure to enjoy watching Hamish suffer like this.
His beard is glorious!
Also, Hamish as the fruit merchant is some of my favorite content, especially when Rhi plays his wife.

Hamish REALLY wanted that compiter
I bet Byron delivered it to the trash
@@DgardsGamingBrian?
@@arandomguardsmenNope Byron is his name
@@LoganT547 Don't know what you're talking about. It's definitely Brian.
@@Dolek135it’s not it’s bryon
Hamish getting those USBs is the one time he came close to winning
The delayed order (3:10) is highly funny but really bizarre too. I do wonder what is Rowan's true motivation for just pretending to process Hamish's order? Is he unable to grasp what he needs to do? Or is he just trying to piss off Hamish off? Taking a $4,000+ full payment and then not even trying to process the order seems strange.
He probably just forgot to actually order it and doesn't want to admit fault
Just to think that the delayed order scene was because Byron was taking the products to the trash lmao
This could also be called "30 minutes of Hamish abuse".
Hamish is never getting that laptop back he sent in for repairs.
Any scene involving Hamish is always hilarious.
The moral of these skits. Never hire Rowan and Ben if you're in the service industries.
Out-RAGE-ous
2:00 I mean legally speaking yes, he was informed about the price of the goods before the purchase, which make it perfectly legal sale😂😂
So basically, both in games and outside of them, the universe exists to hurt Hamish. 😂
Me: *staring dead in Rowen’s eyes while selecting NO TIP * 😐
"No one eats alone ! ... 😠" ...... i liked this one ! .... 😊👍
$20 for a 64gb usb drive? He’s getting ripped off even without the “special”
Even with conversion he’s still getting majorly ripped off 🤣
The Eating Alone sketch still hits me hard
It’s such an underrated skit. Cracks me up.
I can't believe that Hamish would still return to tech town after all this. What a loyal customer.
Watching this make me think that Hamish doesn't remember his experience with techtown.every time he get to this shop it's like he's there for the first time.
Omg why does Hamish keep buying at that store!? 😂😂
Hamish screaming for his delayed PC will never get old. Easily a top 5 skit of all time on the whole of youtube.
Alternative name for the video: Hamish gets abused 30 minutes straight.
Amazing how every case of mistreated customer involves Hamish.
Seeing Hamish without a beard is odd. I love these compilation videos.
"I've got staff to feed! I've got families to pay!" Has me on the floor. 😂😂
0:57 Hey, good for him, he had 2200 in the bank to cover it, lol.
It would be great if you could come up with a follow up episode to Hamish still looking for his computer.
tbh I'm really want to see "Lawyer reaction" on all these case XD
The UP and DOWN between Hamish and Ron was like a Bi-polar Suspense Thriller. Poor Hamish.. 😂
Hamish is the most loyal customer ever even if he gets abused everytime 😂😂😂
This is the video that introduced me to beardless hamish. I have no words
I'm sure with the inflation, the plastic bag, would cost 3000 dollars now. which is fair
The way Rowan goes, "I'm not going to take 100 hundred dollars" while Hamish freaks out, deserves snow award.
Some of the best content on TH-cam
You have to feel for Hamish, been mugged off so many times by Rowan and play tech. I hope when he starts using tech town he gets a few more wins.
Thanks for placing these in order that let us watch Hamish's beard grow.
Hamish is a 10/10 actor
Sometimes it's hard to tell if Rowan is just incompetent, hates people for no reason, or actually thinks he's doing a good job with some kind of mental gymnastics
Or all of the above; forgot that one
14:05 Manager Rowen really is horrible. Between cheating customers and stealing Adam's lottery ticket, I think he needs to get taken down.
19:01 And we can add gaslighting to the list.
Bit of foreshadow by having hamish still laugh in while Rowan stopped
Man if i had the experience Hamish had I woukd never go back😂.
12:59 Hamish without a beard isn’t real he can’t hurt you
I waited for this compilation forever!
Atp Hamish has to blame himself for continuing to go.
At least Ben knows how to rig the system as ling as the Tech guy isnt around.
13:04 Suddenly, beardless Hamish.
dropped food is one of my personal favourites 😂
25:40 I can't fault Rowan for that one. It sucks when a customer comes in last minute and skulks around while you're trying to close. Good to get a little payback on them.
This should basically be called: Hamish gets ripped off by Rowan
Hamish is my favourite lol
Hamish is the best! Especially when he loses his mind!
This feels more like a Hamish getting screwed compilation 💀
The bag didn't cross the liability line so Hamish should be okay
Poor Hamish , he’s too nice , most people would’ve asked for a refund by now. Or I would’ve just grabbed the one off the floor LOL.
Love VLDL , been watching for at least 5 years or more. Bored is my favorite skit they do.
👍👍👍✌️✌️✌️
Rowan is the reason I shop online.
I figured Hamish would have learned his lesson in coming back to shop at Play Tech, especially if Ronan is serving him
This video had me in stitches! Absolutely hilarious exchanges, especially the part with the "Playtech special". The comedy is top-notch and the timing is perfect!
No beard Hamish scares me…
It's a miracle that Hamish hasn't gone active shooter on playtech yet
30:30 that moment you realize you are actually dead.
Ben asked for a table for 1 at the end...he hates people that ask for a table for 1!!!
I caught that too. The level of thought they put into their work is fantastic to see.
"I've got staff to feed and families to pay" that's a new one
The real bargain joke is the keyboard for §200
Still need a life of Hamish series. Would be epic
Hamish is in need of some handy dandy shopper tips! Maybe even a shopper apprenticeship
Why does Hamish keep doing this to himself?!
Hamish is my hero. Absolutely does the best roles in VLD. 😅
the fact that rowan and ben are exclusively the bad guys is hilarious
3:11 as incredible as it may sound, this literally happened to me in real life. I still get angry when I remember.
Can i get a haaayaaa in Ben's skit got me😂
Legend says Hamish still hasnt received the pc
25:25 I literally died here 😂
this should be titled as 'Harrasment of Hamish XD'
Another notification that woke me up, for the GREATEST CHANNEL OF ALL TIME!
Rowan would be a great genie with how convoluted he is lol
Legends say Hamish is still waiting for his PC to this day.
poor hamish can never catch a break
This gave very California vibes. "Water is a human right!... That is directly payable to the state."
Hamish with out a beard is horrifying
The solo dining skits are severely underrated
This video could have been titled Hamish the tortured and the Ben the Outrageous.
Ben: NO ONE EATS ALONE
22:08 "I fkin hate you" lmao. They needed to put this at the end of the whole video, in summary.
That eating alone skit is pure comedy!
Quite notable how often it was Hamish getting the bad service 😆
Because it’s in the script 😅😂
The tip one is my favorite 😂
