The second half of that sentence is "in matters of taste." What that phrase means is that you shouldn't tell the customer that the bedspread or tank top they want to buy is ugly.
@Murray Reaction Eh, to be fair, "The customer is always right" doesn't mean what customers THINK it means. You know how in reviews people'll be like "Why doesn't X store sell Y product?" That...that's where the phrase comes from: pay attention to what the customers want and pull strings to get the product on the shelf. Entitled people just twisted the phrase to stroke their VERY fragile egos throughout the years. >:3
This is why I like living in Britain, stores, cafes, restaurants etc. reserve the right to refuse service. It basically means you can ethier be polite or [expletive] off. And what's better, "I want to see your manager" doesn't mean he or she will give a [expletive] if they bother to indulge the Karen who uttered those words. Some American chains that operate in the U.K. have more American style service but the rest have staff who typically work for minimum wage and just don't care, as long as you aren't an ass they will help you, but otherwise prepare to receive the kind of service you would expect from someone who doesn't find the prospect of working for Burger King the highlight of life and getting fired wouldn't be the worst thing.
Yea the whole concept was yo help keep clientel by catering to wants and needs, but wanting things for free because you think it should be free is backwards from keeping clientel to keep the business booming, so that whole thing doesn't apply
That story with the parents boiled my blood. I utterly despise favoritism in any form, since I was in the maligned spot for a time. Those parents are awful, and they don't deserve to have children if they can't treat them all equally. I'm glad you got your revenge on them, OP.
Yeah, something my therapist once said to me about my shitty parents, "Why did they even have kids?" I think about that a lot. Why bring a life into the world if you can't even bother to care about it?
I hate favoritism too. I’ve had to go through it since 2016. My brother has been a jerk to me at every opportunity since 2016 and no matter how much I complained about it, and have of the things he has gotten away with are things that I would be sent to my room for without dinner at BEST if I did it to him. For example, he has refused to punish him when he took his sweet time in the bathroom when he knew I was supposed to see my eye doctor in less than a half hour and we needed to be out the door already (the appointment was at 2:30, we didn’t leave until 2:20 because of my brother’s stalling, we were late). I complained about it to my mom and she flat-out refused to punish him. He also has faced no consequences for insulting me or otherwise being rude to me, something I get scolded for, and he even stole my Pokémon Mew doll from me and my mom not only just let it happen, she sided with him when I complained (yes, I didn’t list it for months, but that didn’t make what he did OK, especially since he was 30 years old at the time and that’s too old to be excusing that kind of behavior), and she expected me to say yes when I caved and said he has to ask for permission from now on BEFORE taking my property! From her tone of voice used, it’s clear I will not be allowed to say no, and I ended up hiding the remainder of my Pokémon dolls that were still unlisted in my Mercari bin because I knew if my brother took them, I wouldn’t be able to rely on my mom to get them back and I would never see them again. He did the same thing again by taking a TV monitor I got for Christmas without my permission (he had taken it before). He had a legitimate reason that time, because his was acting up, but he still stole it because he didn’t ask first. Like, how hard is it to ask when you don’t know if I want to use it? I didn’t report him then because I knew nothing would happen to him although we did get a new a TV for me later that year since I needed a new one anyway. I have not reported my brother for being rude or doing anything bad to me since the Pokémon doll incident except for him giving me grief about my bags in the car and trying to tell me what I will or will not be bringing to work the next work day, but that was only because she asked when I asked her if I could switch to driving myself to work beginning after I get my license. She said she would talk to us face-to-face later and the face-to-face meeting never happened and she told me if he gave me trouble in the car again to tell her an she would talk to him, but as far as I’m concerned, she wasn’t really going to talk to him, she was just saying it to make herself look better so I wouldn’t be suspicious. Thinking about how unreasonably harsh my mom is on me and how lenient she is on my brother has made me realize my brother is the favorite child.
@@morgandouglas6014 It sounds like your brother steals things from you repeatedly. You could probably call the police on him, although that does risk more issues between you and the rest of your family. But it's awful that your brother and mother are treating you in such a way. Remember, you matter just as much as anyone else. You deserve good things, and people who have your back. I hope you get out of there soon. When you do leave, I recommend blocking them from your life, until they're willing to treat you with respect and decency. Of course, it's your life, so it's your choice. Take care of yourself.
Second Story: “my family dynamic was…interesting.” Abusive. The word your looking for is abusive. I hope OP is far away from them and is low to no contact
@@juneyshu6197 Yeah, I feel ya. The shocked faces kind of get boring after a while, so I also just fall back to a similar response. My parents weren't nearly as bad as the ones in that Story, but they also weren't really good parents
My parents' fave catchphrase for me if my sister and I fought. Like no, I'm 15, you're supposed to be the responsible one. They also liked pulling this as a jab towards my other siblings so it would cause even more division between us. It's just manipulation for shitty parents who don't want to do their job.
I mean, I basically have been, still am, since my brothers and I are on the autism spectrum. I'm higher-functioning, so I'd basically be the baby-sitter when mom/dad had to be somewhere. I guess I'm the exception, then, but at least it's only because I wasn't expected to do literally everything they could damn well do themselves like in OP's story. Love how the mom was like "I need you to do this thing for me because I have an appointment." Like, lady, YOU could do that YOURSELF if you PLAN better! You just choose NOT to! It's like I've been saying for years, "If you're in such a hurry to get things done that you're worried you're gonna be late, then you need to get better at time & task management." >.>
I was in a similar situation, my mom would always expect me to be always understanding. Like when I needed new shoes, or just about anything, she would constantly say that we don't have the budget this month, then when we do have the money she'll be like "oops I forgot it, next month we'll buy it" , until my shoes are literally crumbling while I walk. And it just didn't happen once or twice.I would only get new ones when my older sister's shoes are unusable to be passed down. The cherry on top is ,even if my older sis doesn't say what she needs or want, somehow my mom knows and she would get it without delay. Like favoritism is real. This treatment made me learn how to guilt trip my mom when she's being too unfair, manipulative true, effective yes, do I do it often ? No. After repeated instances of this type of display of favoritism, I just gave up expecting anything from her, like I would actually try to help my mom with chores so she wouldn't be so burdened , hoping she somehow would actually remember me, but no. I realized early on, lazy or not, if I misbehave or not, she wouldn't care for me as much as she cares for the oldest and younger ones. But hey, at least it made me realize early on how the real world works. There's just some people you can't impress no matter how kind and understanding you are to them. 💁
Nah, that was my psrents' excuse when they found out I had started sexting (I was severely depressed and still have a lot of issues, I'm working through them and I know it was dumb). They would threaten the worst kind of violence and make me inflict so many painful things (again, scared child) but my parents didn't wanna hear it lol
last story: a quote I heard my best friend use in college says it all (and I use frequently to this day)...."a lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on mine!"
Second story: That's a narc mother and a golden child (younger sister) if I have ever heard of one, and she somehow did the thing that almost every ADULT in a relationship with a Narc fails to do: Stand her ground against manipulation and threats of the Narc. Respect and I hope she gets the help she likely needs for her shitty childhood.
I certainly hope that OP is no longer in that household either. Good god, it sounded so toxic and I USED to be part of something like that. Granted, I was 2, and unable to do anything, but I still have lingering effects from that brief stint of my life.
I second that and agree with you 💯 I hope that Karma gets OP"s so-called family by having them get called out about their treatment of OP in front of others that they respect 😈
@@yukikursosaki200 I get the feeling she moved out as soon as she turned 18, at least that's what I hoped. The fact the the mom enslaved her by having her do her job was just horrific. Plus, the obvious favoritism (seriously? Being 5 minutes late in curfew does not equal being caught with drugs!)
Growing up in a dysfunctional household,I know how that feels for op and the car punishment. Most things our parents marketed to us as privileges and freedoms were really about us shouldering adult responsibilities for them.
Yep, I have a friend I've known since secondary (high) school. The day he was old enough (17) he got his driving licence, the next day he bought his first car with money he saved up for from his weekend job. Insurance, tax, fuel and servicing, all paid by him. His parents decided that he was now the siblings taxi driver. They didn't even pay for petrol (gasoline). Just "Your [brother's name] need to get to football practice, take him" or "[sister's name] wants to see her friends, take her" he did for about 3 months. Then they screwed up. He went to a camping trip with some of us for a weekend, Friday night to Sunday afternoon, he was completely uncontactable because we were in the arse end of the Welsh mountains were you be lucky to find a land line nevermind a mobile (cell) signal. He came home and his parents tore into him for not being available to drive his siblings, now, his parents knew about the trip, knew he was over a 150 miles away, and they were pissed, so they took "their" car from him. He was done. So he sold his car and used the money to buy an Xbox 360 and a bunch of games. His parents were furious with him, threatening to call the police for selling "their" car. He said (I'm paraphrasing) "Go ahead, but you seem to forget who bought it, I have bank records show I earned the money for that car and I was paying for everything for it". They tried buying him a car for his birthday a few months later. He told them he didn't want it and using the bus was cheaper. They are still pissed about that, and it's been 15 years.
@@chaosreaver3597 mine was similar but it was my grandparents instead of my parents. I was only give the opportunity to get a license because the condition was i had to help drive them to appointments. Most of the time I'd get home from school and have to help run errands like shopping and doctor appointments. I didnt mind for the most part as I love my grandparents, but one time I went to see my boyfriend who only lived a block away I was going for dinner and they knew I was going to have the car well when I got home I was told I couldn't use the car anymore because they had in fact needed it, didn't bother to call me or tell me because I would have come home earlier or just rescheduled the dinner. I still had to run errands but I was put on a time limit to be done with errands like only have and hour for shopping for groceries. This was almost impossible when we lived in the middle of nowhere and town was 35 min drive away.
@@BlackGhoulia a 70 minute round trip, assuming you don't hit traffic and 20 minutes to grocery shop... the amount of things that could cause a delay in the store, from something being out of stock to getting held up because the store was busy would make that 90 minute timeline impossible to achieve. You would have to speed and be a mega-Karen to hit that schedule. I would have "lost" my licence and keep "forgetting" to replace it in your shoes. Even with free access to the car it wouldn't be worth it.
Mine was a bit different but for me I had 0 interest in driving at all. I could walk or ride my bike to where I wanted to go. So I did. It annoyed my sister and parents because they decided that I needed to get a job. So I did. And I still didn't get my license. Around 17 the got tired of it and made me, paid for, driving lessons. In my state if you were under 18 at the time you needed to pass the driving lessons, take the written exam, and take the driving examine. Took 6 months but I got my license finally. And if I waited 6 more months I wouldn't have needed to take the class. Just pass the examines.
I felt that one about being the oldest, the most responsibilities, with the least amount of freedom. Finally an adult! And I still sneak around parents like a teen bc it’s simply easier.
Same thing for being the only girl too 🤦♀️ grew up with 2 older brothers with zero sense of responsibility (trust me when i say my parents tried and even grounded them and took away their fun stuff like gaming consoles and computer use outside of homework) and always took on responsibilities from pets to cleaning. Got them (brothers) to clean and learn responsibilities too with black mail. As the youngest you learn a lot about your older siblings that they DO NOT want parents to know 😈
It's not always the oldest. Out of my mom's 4 kids, I was the youngest. I have 1 older sister and I had 2 older brothers. Out of all of us, I paid the most in rent and I was the only one made to help out (do everything by myself) around the house. My oldest brother was pretty badly disabled but the other 2 were perfectly fine but for some reason, my mom never made them help out around the house. Also, I was paying hundreds of dollars more in rent than anyone else.
I'm sorry. That really sucks. Mine are 18 & 21 & they tell me about their dates & other crazy shenanigans all the time. The only thing I've ever asked of them (beyond basic respect & cleanliness of my space) is to not get any tickets when they're still on my insurance & not to drive if they've been partying at all. Their grandparents or I would happily pick them up sans lecture or purchase an Uber if they're stuck far away. I never understand what parents think they'll accomplish trying to be overly judgy & restrictive to full grown "kids".
I'm always amazed when cheapskates think businesses should be scared to lose their patronage. Restaurant probably wasn't even breaking even on their *daily* multi hour coffee visits
This campfire warms my cold dead heart. It's truly difficult to see a shitty situation while in it. For myself it isn't as bad, but certain behavioral patterns described on this channel concerning parents are very well known.
I seriously don't get men who think a woman can't help them, like she's working there and she's asking questions specific to your needs. If she didn't know anything then she wouldn't be working there. I swear if that ever happened to me I would seriously ask the guy "sir if I'm not qualified to help you, how did I get hired?"
The kid who was blatantly being abused by her parents should have never taken the car back, really stuck it to them. I hope she reported them for breaching child labour laws.
I dont see any downsides, you dont have to run arrends for the parents and golden child, you get way more freedom, and I'm pretty sure most people nowadays could use the exercise, especially after these past 2 years
14:35 Best thing about that is that if he'd just gone to a different place to do a quick test he could have the result in less than an hour. There are several places who do them and they don't have the same schedule.
Any person who comes into any shop and instantly starts disrespecting any of the employees deserves to be promptly ignored. Them criticizing an employee due to bias should be seen as criticizing the business as a whole, and whatever they could be buying is not worth the headache of dealing with their bigotry. Giving them a reason to not come back is always for the best, because they'd probably leave a bad review anyway.
I used to have a manager who always signed off on time off super late and denied them super later... and by late, I mean seconds before that shift starts or hours after that shift already started that you called off. Soon I just stopped coming in on those days that I called off. EVERYONE complained about him until he left. He also gave super weird schedules. I only ever got 3 days of 16 hours... he also had no idea how to make organized schedules... I could start work at 4pm or 7am. He loved to change schedules last minute sometimes... so I started to call off whenever he did that. He couldn't do anything as I had quite a bit of time off built up, and never denied them in time.
I've had experiences similar to the last story. Some patients order the wrong test and get snippy about _their_ mistake when we try and explain the difference. So we stopped trying if they complain and let them find out later. FYI, the sheer numbers and type of test we do means it can take hours or days before we can get back to them unless they pay $100 extra for a rush out of pocket (insurance doesn't cover that). And I've got a story about the regional manager forcing us to honor too many rushes that cost the company and him I won't post. It's too long for a comment.
Lol the first one was really good. manager: you dont like it quit op pal: okay i will quit on your most busiest day and you cant get any tip cause your the boss manager: *shocked Pikachu face*
@@strawberrysoulforever8336 That's exactly what it means. The difference being that the payout is the reason not to "kill" the goose. Because the goose could provide further payouts.
@@armas_ectos Yeah, Jacqueline Wilson's book "Diamond" used it to explain why the evil owner of the titular acrobat shouldn't be pushed so hard to practice and do so many tricks. One of the characters said he was killing the goose who would lay golden eggs. He'd bought this little girl who was only eight and looked younger and started training her as a circus performer. She hated it, especially as he'd beat her if she didn't perform to his liking.
I love story when the manager and owner step up to protect their employee cause these days not alot of them do that like that story on here where OP manager hate and treat everyone bad and when she need to help nobody want to help her so treat your employee nice
One of my favorite things when working at the customer service desk of a hardware store was answering the phone and having someone ask for customer service to be cheerfully informed that I was there and would be happy to help. The pause as they struggled inwardly with wanting to talk to a guy but realizing they couldn't ask that without being an ass was excellent.
When the child ends up being the one basically parenting the parents by teaching them not to bite the hand that does 90% of the things that the parents should be doing:
Sweet mother of any gods out there (I usually go for Hylia in this case...), that second story with the parents pissed me off. I really hope OP isn't living with them anymore and isn't being used like that anymore either. It SUCKS when things like this happen. :(
They mentioned that this happened in the early 2000s when she was 17. So assuming how well rounded, minus the abuse, she was, and being in her 30s now, I'm pretty optimistic she gtfo within a couple years after that story.
True. A fast food place near were I live screwed it's self over is a way not dissimilar. The manager wanted to save money so his genius plan, fire the cleaners and make to counter staff clean instead. That went as well as you can expect, 2 people quit on the spot when he told them they needed to sign new contracts to include cleaning duties, this had a domino effect because he now had 6 staff members to cover 8 people's shifts. The next brilliant move, unpaid overtime. 5 of the remaining 6 quit in a week, taking one of the cooks with them because he was one of the worker's brother. Now I don't know exactly what happened next, but the place shut down for a month, apparently because the kitchen staff quit one by one as they were told to pick up the slack because of all the resignations. The idiot manager lost a month's worth of income but he didn't want to pay minimum wage for 6 hours a night for a cleaner who mostly dealt with front of house cleaning and make sure the toilets were usable. He also got blasted on social media, the former employees gave warnings about what they could expect if the worked for him so he had a tough time hiring anyone worthwhile. Not so much a problem for counter staff, but he couldn't get cooks worth a damm. The quality went to hell, and the place was hemorrhaging money and customers. He had to sell.
Entitled Costumers: *act like they're the reason a place has stayed open so long* Manger: *reveals they're actually dirt cheap and the place can survive without them* Real Long-Time Costumers: *think that at their age those entitled costumers would have learned to respect the workers*
Thanks RSlash I just got titanium plates and 11 screws in my arm yesterday and you give me something I look forward to watching especially since I crumbled my bones and I don’t have a lot of anything else to do besides bounce between drs offices and the hospital 💜
@@AestheticWaif thanks I appreciate the well wishes this is the worst pain of my life and I’ve broken my tailbone twice lol at least I did it at work so workers comp covered it lol
Me: sees thumbnail Also me: *19 yr old woman, who works 8 hours as dishwasher in a very busy restaurant, which, according to the manager and the cooks and hosts, is pretty much the hardest job in a restaraunt. Was also told that out of everyone, dishwashers usually work the hardest* Me again: Smells like lies and stupidity. Edit: 4 months later, I forgot about this comment. Im now turning 20 in 3 weeks. It used to be 3 days a week, 7 -8 hours a day, for $13 an hour. Now its 6 days a week, 7, 8, 9 hours a week, for $14 an hour. I gonna buy a computer this year, and a cheap mini fridge.
¿Why is it that managers at some point will try to use their power on some things that are not work related? I’m not talking big things, they start getting comfortable and sometimes it’s kinda funny cause they forget how to do stuff.
That one post about the teen taking care of the family really struck a chord with me. I was making dinner for my family before I even hit 10 years old. I should mention that I have a sister 4 years older than me. When I was 12-15 when my mother would go camping, she left ME in charge, asking I essentially babysit my older sister... I took care of everyone in my home. Mother included. I distinctly remember one New year's Eve party she had and I was left taking care of 8 adults who got wasted. So much so that when I put some frozen ready to bake nibbles I put in the oven to help sober some of them up, I had to tell my mom to spit the frozen hors devours into my hand because it was raw pork. By the end of the night I was calling and procuring rides, helping the dipshits into cabs... Ugh
I can only imagine (during the whole word esencaly being shut down) how many doctors/nurses anyome who works in the medical field have been relieved from seeing absolute twit's of a patient (not the ones who ACTUALLY need help with something) who come in to the doctors to complain about not being able to breath to there nose when all they have is a common cold
Having worked in the hospital setting, on one hand it's always irritating getting someone who is a drama llama (i had a patient that faked seizures and passing out lol) but at the same time you gotta be empathetic and realize there's more going on in their lives that makes them a drama llama and it doesn't mean they're not ill. It was still a nice break from dealing with severe and serious cases so I'd much rather have a patient faking a seizure than a patient actually having one. Just had to keep reminding myself that I can judge later when I'm not on the job, cause I never want to be like the rude and nasty nurses I've personally had who dismissed my disability before I was officially diagnosed. I'd rather have my time wasted than assume everyone is lying.
At the beginning of the older sibling story I was thinking maybe they're entitled and just got treated a little harsh because as the first kid they usually make mistakes. But damn was I wrong. When a 17 year old literally Is running your home you know you are doing something very wrong. And when they mentioned she's been a smart ass since she's been 4 Is ridiculous. Not once did they ever reflect and think "maybe we're the cause of her being smart with us". Bad parenting.
If you tell a child that is following your orders to be the responsible one when they make your house run like an oiled machine, you have failed as a parent
Calculated & Carless: That was excellent! I'm glad he was able to show how important he was to the household. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if they had nothing to do with their parents after being independent. Let that bratty sister take care of you when you're old as dirt The Dad sucks btw
Ok so I did the math for the old man, he spent about 16 grand over the course of 20 years. (Without removing holidays or days the place might of been closed or reason for him not to be able to get to and from the restaurant.) so yeah. Not worth much.
My favorite moments Are when a customer tries to describe an item to you instead of telling you what is and you end up gabbing with them for about 10 minutes trying to figure out what the hell they want
Can't say I was the exact definition of golden goose but I for def identify with Op. I was made to do chores, make decent grades, constantly blamed for everything, and gaslight to hell and back while my siblings got the royal treatment. I always wondered what would happen if I wasn't around to be the obedient slave... well it burst their bubble when I left. It took two weeks for the cracks to form when they realized that their live in nanny and housekeeper was gone. By that time I was full-time at work and college and paying my own bills even if I was renting from them (which they tried to gaslight me with). I refused to help because I was no longer obligated to and the younger golden child refused because he was never taught too obey. None the less they got their comeuppance, lol.
My mom suffered from parentification. It made a great mom but a very entitled "golden child" and equally so grandmother. She doesn't hate them, but it's obvious who the real adult is among the three of them. That younger sister is gonna be a thorn in their side that can never be picked out; reap what you sow, the saying goes.
wow the one with the neglect hits so hard for me. I feel a lot of the same things op does and have the same reactions so… damn do i wish i did more malicious compliance lmaoo
While curfews are needed, it is counter-intuitive to have such a strict time. If you insist on only this one time for curfew, say 10pm not a minute later, kids will speed. Someone mentioned, on a different video with this story, a story where this strictness was fatal. The gist of the story I remember: A couple was out late and he was speeding to bring her home for her curfew. He ended up running a stop sign and they got hit. Both were killed instantly.
All my life I wsa taught that "The customer is always right!" I'm glad that in my lifetime we all are calling bullshit on that, and the Karens who treat that quote like its the bible!
"My family dynamic was ... interesting"-LMAO yes I lived through that double standard being the oldest and the very uneven treatment and punishment. I wears out quickly and I also applied malicious compliance. This is a standard dysfunctional family and you will notice that the parents do not seam to learn. I started out as the golden child and then became the missing child.
Never never NEVER use the kids to get back at your ex.... That's exactly what the last OP did. It's none of their business. What he did was worse than cheating.
I think the guy in the bike shop story is being treated too harshly here. Based on the post, he didn't actually say he thought she was incompetent. Maybe he was mistreated by a woman in the past and did not feel comfortable around them. Maybe he's just nervous around women. All he said was that he would like to be handled by someone else. In my mind, this does not justify accusing him of being sexist.
Hi rSlash. I haven't watched much from your channel lately, but I'd just like to say.. thank you. I showed a few of your videos to my mother last fall, and she would binge watch them all day. They gave her a lot of joy and she and I would talk about stories we listened to from here. Our family had been going under tough times due to 'family drama' and my brother being rebellious. Unfortunately she passed away last October, but I remember coming home from school and seeing her laughing her ass off while watching one of these videos. I'm glad we had something we could talk about other than school and family drama. Thank you, man.
The last one wasn't due to a lack of understanding. The father wanting the test REFUSED to understand. They told him multiple times what the test was and he was all, like, "I don't care! Just give it to him!", then gets mad when its brought up with the "revelation" from what the Soccer Camp said. Responsibility... what is it? You can't refuse warnings, self-inflict such a burn on yourself, then all of a sudden act like you were never warned. Oh well, the dad ought to listen next time instead of being hard-headed.
I worked at a retail pharmacy for four years, from January 2018-may 2022. The heart of the pandemic, I was working front and center lol. We did covid antibody tests, but we were the ONE store for my chain in town that did not do antiGEN tests. And even if we hadn't been, you are required to sign up ahead of time online to get your antigen test. The number of people I had to turn away (and quickly disinfect where they had been) was astounding. I preferred it when they called. I also had someone, whose test I personally was going to do, who mixed up which test he needed. He panicked when I explained this wouldn't be usable by the airlines and he had a flight the same day. Covid tests sent to a lab usually take a couple days to get the results back. I don't know what he ended up doing but since I hadn't done the test before realizing he wanted the wrong one, I was able to refund him and even pointed him to the one clinic in town that we knew could do rapid tests (if you're willing to pay 100 dollars out of pocket. Regular tests are free, not the rapid ones).
I will post this here same as a different video with the Linzava story: OP is not a Psychopath, they just get schadenfreude from the vengeance from getting back at her abusers.
The amount of time a man told that I’m to young to be working and should work because I’m a girl and I should just sit my useless but down and let them show me how it’s done because it’s a man’s job
I live to watch your videos. I absolutely love waking up and just jumping on TH-cam to watch your new video. The only time I missed a few videos was when I was in boot camp, when I got out though, watched them all in a day or two
"What happened to 'The customer is always right'?"
"We wised up."
The second half of that sentence is "in matters of taste." What that phrase means is that you shouldn't tell the customer that the bedspread or tank top they want to buy is ugly.
@Murray Reaction Eh, to be fair, "The customer is always right" doesn't mean what customers THINK it means. You know how in reviews people'll be like "Why doesn't X store sell Y product?" That...that's where the phrase comes from: pay attention to what the customers want and pull strings to get the product on the shelf. Entitled people just twisted the phrase to stroke their VERY fragile egos throughout the years. >:3
This is why I like living in Britain, stores, cafes, restaurants etc. reserve the right to refuse service.
It basically means you can ethier be polite or [expletive] off. And what's better, "I want to see your manager" doesn't mean he or she will give a [expletive] if they bother to indulge the Karen who uttered those words.

Yea the whole concept was yo help keep clientel by catering to wants and needs, but wanting things for free because you think it should be free is backwards from keeping clientel to keep the business booming, so that whole thing doesn't apply
@@ResidentMilf I searched it up. And no. In matter of taste is something someone put on it later on and not part of the original motto.
That story with the parents boiled my blood. I utterly despise favoritism in any form, since I was in the maligned spot for a time. Those parents are awful, and they don't deserve to have children if they can't treat them all equally. I'm glad you got your revenge on them, OP.
Yeah, something my therapist once said to me about my shitty parents, "Why did they even have kids?" I think about that a lot. Why bring a life into the world if you can't even bother to care about it?
I hate favoritism too. I’ve had to go through it since 2016. My brother has been a jerk to me at every opportunity since 2016 and no matter how much I complained about it, and have of the things he has gotten away with are things that I would be sent to my room for without dinner at BEST if I did it to him. For example, he has refused to punish him when he took his sweet time in the bathroom when he knew I was supposed to see my eye doctor in less than a half hour and we needed to be out the door already (the appointment was at 2:30, we didn’t leave until 2:20 because of my brother’s stalling, we were late). I complained about it to my mom and she flat-out refused to punish him. He also has faced no consequences for insulting me or otherwise being rude to me, something I get scolded for, and he even stole my Pokémon Mew doll from me and my mom not only just let it happen, she sided with him when I complained (yes, I didn’t list it for months, but that didn’t make what he did OK, especially since he was 30 years old at the time and that’s too old to be excusing that kind of behavior), and she expected me to say yes when I caved and said he has to ask for permission from now on BEFORE taking my property! From her tone of voice used, it’s clear I will not be allowed to say no, and I ended up hiding the remainder of my Pokémon dolls that were still unlisted in my Mercari bin because I knew if my brother took them, I wouldn’t be able to rely on my mom to get them back and I would never see them again. He did the same thing again by taking a TV monitor I got for Christmas without my permission (he had taken it before). He had a legitimate reason that time, because his was acting up, but he still stole it because he didn’t ask first. Like, how hard is it to ask when you don’t know if I want to use it? I didn’t report him then because I knew nothing would happen to him although we did get a new a TV for me later that year since I needed a new one anyway. I have not reported my brother for being rude or doing anything bad to me since the Pokémon doll incident except for him giving me grief about my bags in the car and trying to tell me what I will or will not be bringing to work the next work day, but that was only because she asked when I asked her if I could switch to driving myself to work beginning after I get my license. She said she would talk to us face-to-face later and the face-to-face meeting never happened and she told me if he gave me trouble in the car again to tell her an she would talk to him, but as far as I’m concerned, she wasn’t really going to talk to him, she was just saying it to make herself look better so I wouldn’t be suspicious.
Thinking about how unreasonably harsh my mom is on me and how lenient she is on my brother has made me realize my brother is the favorite child.
@@morgandouglas6014 I'm so sorry that you had to go through all that. I hope ur in a better situation now!
@@weirdlycurlyplantstem8231 still working on saving up to move out but thank you.
@@morgandouglas6014 It sounds like your brother steals things from you repeatedly. You could probably call the police on him, although that does risk more issues between you and the rest of your family.
But it's awful that your brother and mother are treating you in such a way. Remember, you matter just as much as anyone else. You deserve good things, and people who have your back. I hope you get out of there soon.
When you do leave, I recommend blocking them from your life, until they're willing to treat you with respect and decency. Of course, it's your life, so it's your choice.
Take care of yourself.
Second Story: “my family dynamic was…interesting.”

"Actually, can I stay grounded? I like walking better."
All kids deserve parents, but not all parents deserve kids, and 👏😐 boi does it shows in this post
You can't tell your child "You're supposed to be the responsible one!" and still expect them to take you seriously.
My parents' fave catchphrase for me if my sister and I fought. Like no, I'm 15, you're supposed to be the responsible one. They also liked pulling this as a jab towards my other siblings so it would cause even more division between us. It's just manipulation for shitty parents who don't want to do their job.
I mean, I basically have been, still am, since my brothers and I are on the autism spectrum. I'm higher-functioning, so I'd basically be the baby-sitter when mom/dad had to be somewhere. I guess I'm the exception, then, but at least it's only because I wasn't expected to do literally everything they could damn well do themselves like in OP's story. Love how the mom was like "I need you to do this thing for me because I have an appointment." Like, lady, YOU could do that YOURSELF if you PLAN better! You just choose NOT to! It's like I've been saying for years, "If you're in such a hurry to get things done that you're worried you're gonna be late, then you need to get better at time & task management." >.>
I was in a similar situation, my mom would always expect me to be always understanding. Like when I needed new shoes, or just about anything, she would constantly say that we don't have the budget this month, then when we do have the money she'll be like "oops I forgot it, next month we'll buy it" , until my shoes are literally crumbling while I walk. And it just didn't happen once or twice.I would only get new ones when my older sister's shoes are unusable to be passed down. The cherry on top is ,even if my older sis doesn't say what she needs or want, somehow my mom knows and she would get it without delay. Like favoritism is real. This treatment made me learn how to guilt trip my mom when she's being too unfair, manipulative true, effective yes, do I do it often ? No. After repeated instances of this type of display of favoritism, I just gave up expecting anything from her, like I would actually try to help my mom with chores so she wouldn't be so burdened , hoping she somehow would actually remember me, but no. I realized early on, lazy or not, if I misbehave or not, she wouldn't care for me as much as she cares for the oldest and younger ones. But hey, at least it made me realize early on how the real world works. There's just some people you can't impress no matter how kind and understanding you are to them. 💁
Nah, that was my psrents' excuse when they found out I had started sexting (I was severely depressed and still have a lot of issues, I'm working through them and I know it was dumb). They would threaten the worst kind of violence and make me inflict so many painful things (again, scared child) but my parents didn't wanna hear it lol

I agree, that OP was fantastic.
I certainly hope that OP is no longer in that household either. Good god, it sounded so toxic and I USED to be part of something like that. Granted, I was 2, and unable to do anything, but I still have lingering effects from that brief stint of my life.
I second that and agree with you 💯 I hope that Karma gets OP"s so-called family by having them get called out about their treatment of OP in front of others that they respect 😈
I agree.
@@yukikursosaki200 I get the feeling she moved out as soon as she turned 18, at least that's what I hoped. The fact the the mom enslaved her by having her do her job was just horrific. Plus, the obvious favoritism (seriously? Being 5 minutes late in curfew does not equal being caught with drugs!)
Growing up in a dysfunctional household,I know how that feels for op and the car punishment. Most things our parents marketed to us as privileges and freedoms were really about us shouldering adult responsibilities for them.
Yep, I have a friend I've known since secondary (high) school. The day he was old enough (17) he got his driving licence, the next day he bought his first car with money he saved up for from his weekend job.
Insurance, tax, fuel and servicing, all paid by him. His parents decided that he was now the siblings taxi driver. They didn't even pay for petrol (gasoline). Just "Your [brother's name] need to get to football practice, take him" or "[sister's name] wants to see her friends, take her" he did for about 3 months.
Then they screwed up. He went to a camping trip with some of us for a weekend, Friday night to Sunday afternoon, he was completely uncontactable because we were in the arse end of the Welsh mountains were you be lucky to find a land line nevermind a mobile (cell) signal.
He came home and his parents tore into him for not being available to drive his siblings, now, his parents knew about the trip, knew he was over a 150 miles away, and they were pissed, so they took "their" car from him.
He was done. So he sold his car and used the money to buy an Xbox 360 and a bunch of games. His parents were furious with him, threatening to call the police for selling "their" car. He said (I'm paraphrasing) "Go ahead, but you seem to forget who bought it, I have bank records show I earned the money for that car and I was paying for everything for it".
They tried buying him a car for his birthday a few months later. He told them he didn't want it and using the bus was cheaper. They are still pissed about that, and it's been 15 years.
@@chaosreaver3597 mine was similar but it was my grandparents instead of my parents. I was only give the opportunity to get a license because the condition was i had to help drive them to appointments. Most of the time I'd get home from school and have to help run errands like shopping and doctor appointments. I didnt mind for the most part as I love my grandparents, but one time I went to see my boyfriend who only lived a block away I was going for dinner and they knew I was going to have the car well when I got home I was told I couldn't use the car anymore because they had in fact needed it, didn't bother to call me or tell me because I would have come home earlier or just rescheduled the dinner. I still had to run errands but I was put on a time limit to be done with errands like only have and hour for shopping for groceries. This was almost impossible when we lived in the middle of nowhere and town was 35 min drive away.
@@BlackGhoulia a 70 minute round trip, assuming you don't hit traffic and 20 minutes to grocery shop... the amount of things that could cause a delay in the store, from something being out of stock to getting held up because the store was busy would make that 90 minute timeline impossible to achieve.
You would have to speed and be a mega-Karen to hit that schedule. I would have "lost" my licence and keep "forgetting" to replace it in your shoes. Even with free access to the car it wouldn't be worth it.
Mine was a bit different but for me I had 0 interest in driving at all. I could walk or ride my bike to where I wanted to go. So I did. It annoyed my sister and parents because they decided that I needed to get a job.
So I did. And I still didn't get my license. Around 17 the got tired of it and made me, paid for, driving lessons. In my state if you were under 18 at the time you needed to pass the driving lessons, take the written exam, and take the driving examine. Took 6 months but I got my license finally.
And if I waited 6 more months I wouldn't have needed to take the class. Just pass the examines.
I felt that one about being the oldest, the most responsibilities, with the least amount of freedom. Finally an adult! And I still sneak around parents like a teen bc it’s simply easier.
Same thing for being the only girl too 🤦♀️ grew up with 2 older brothers with zero sense of responsibility (trust me when i say my parents tried and even grounded them and took away their fun stuff like gaming consoles and computer use outside of homework) and always took on responsibilities from pets to cleaning. Got them (brothers) to clean and learn responsibilities too with black mail. As the youngest you learn a lot about your older siblings that they DO NOT want parents to know 😈
It's not always the oldest. Out of my mom's 4 kids, I was the youngest. I have 1 older sister and I had 2 older brothers. Out of all of us, I paid the most in rent and I was the only one made to help out (do everything by myself) around the house. My oldest brother was pretty badly disabled but the other 2 were perfectly fine but for some reason, my mom never made them help out around the house. Also, I was paying hundreds of dollars more in rent than anyone else.
I'm sorry. That really sucks. Mine are 18 & 21 & they tell me about their dates & other crazy shenanigans all the time. The only thing I've ever asked of them (beyond basic respect & cleanliness of my space) is to not get any tickets when they're still on my insurance & not to drive if they've been partying at all. Their grandparents or I would happily pick them up sans lecture or purchase an Uber if they're stuck far away.
I never understand what parents think they'll accomplish trying to be overly judgy & restrictive to full grown "kids".

This campfire warms my cold dead heart. It's truly difficult to see a shitty situation while in it. For myself it isn't as bad, but certain behavioral patterns described on this channel concerning parents are very well known.
I seriously don't get men who think a woman can't help them, like she's working there and she's asking questions specific to your needs. If she didn't know anything then she wouldn't be working there. I swear if that ever happened to me I would seriously ask the guy "sir if I'm not qualified to help you, how did I get hired?"

Manager: "If you don't like it, then quit!"
Alex the Joker: "Very poor choice of words."
I relate to that OP in the car story. It's hard when your parents treat you like that. Really is.

14:35 Best thing about that is that if he'd just gone to a different place to do a quick test he could have the result in less than an hour. There are several places who do them and they don't have the same schedule.
Manager: if you don't like it then leave!
The 2 workers: *adios*
Manager: *cries* why does EVERYONE GET 500 DOLLARS IN 6 HOURS?!?
Any person who comes into any shop and instantly starts disrespecting any of the employees deserves to be promptly ignored. Them criticizing an employee due to bias should be seen as criticizing the business as a whole, and whatever they could be buying is not worth the headache of dealing with their bigotry. Giving them a reason to not come back is always for the best, because they'd probably leave a bad review anyway.
Not just ignored, promptly kicked out and told they are no longer welcome.
I used to have a manager who always signed off on time off super late and denied them super later... and by late, I mean seconds before that shift starts or hours after that shift already started that you called off. Soon I just stopped coming in on those days that I called off. EVERYONE complained about him until he left. He also gave super weird schedules. I only ever got 3 days of 16 hours... he also had no idea how to make organized schedules... I could start work at 4pm or 7am. He loved to change schedules last minute sometimes... so I started to call off whenever he did that. He couldn't do anything as I had quite a bit of time off built up, and never denied them in time.
@Not RickRoll 👇... hmmmm
I've had experiences similar to the last story. Some patients order the wrong test and get snippy about _their_ mistake when we try and explain the difference. So we stopped trying if they complain and let them find out later. FYI, the sheer numbers and type of test we do means it can take hours or days before we can get back to them unless they pay $100 extra for a rush out of pocket (insurance doesn't cover that). And I've got a story about the regional manager forcing us to honor too many rushes that cost the company and him I won't post. It's too long for a comment.

@@strawberrysoulforever8336 That's exactly what it means. The difference being that the payout is the reason not to "kill" the goose. Because the goose could provide further payouts.
@@armas_ectos Yeah, Jacqueline Wilson's book "Diamond" used it to explain why the evil owner of the titular acrobat shouldn't be pushed so hard to practice and do so many tricks.

She hated it, especially as he'd beat her if she didn't perform to his liking.
I love story when the manager and owner step up to protect their employee cause these days not alot of them do that like that story on here where OP manager hate and treat everyone bad and when she need to help nobody want to help her so treat your employee nice
Man some of these stories are absolutely WILD, I hope your staying safe out there everyone!
The bike shop story was beautifully done. Hi-5 to the employees and manager. :-)
One of my favorite things when working at the customer service desk of a hardware store was answering the phone and having someone ask for customer service to be cheerfully informed that I was there and would be happy to help. The pause as they struggled inwardly with wanting to talk to a guy but realizing they couldn't ask that without being an ass was excellent.
When the child ends up being the one basically parenting the parents by teaching them not to bite the hand that does 90% of the things that the parents should be doing:
Sweet mother of any gods out there (I usually go for Hylia in this case...), that second story with the parents pissed me off. I really hope OP isn't living with them anymore and isn't being used like that anymore either. It SUCKS when things like this happen. :(
They mentioned that this happened in the early 2000s when she was 17. So assuming how well rounded, minus the abuse, she was, and being in her 30s now, I'm pretty optimistic she gtfo within a couple years after that story.
The first one is why you don’t mess with your workers. They can quite easily mess you up.
True. A fast food place near were I live screwed it's self over is a way not dissimilar. The manager wanted to save money so his genius plan, fire the cleaners and make to counter staff clean instead.
That went as well as you can expect, 2 people quit on the spot when he told them they needed to sign new contracts to include cleaning duties, this had a domino effect because he now had 6 staff members to cover 8 people's shifts.
The next brilliant move, unpaid overtime. 5 of the remaining 6 quit in a week, taking one of the cooks with them because he was one of the worker's brother.
Now I don't know exactly what happened next, but the place shut down for a month, apparently because the kitchen staff quit one by one as they were told to pick up the slack because of all the resignations.
The idiot manager lost a month's worth of income but he didn't want to pay minimum wage for 6 hours a night for a cleaner who mostly dealt with front of house cleaning and make sure the toilets were usable.
He also got blasted on social media, the former employees gave warnings about what they could expect if the worked for him so he had a tough time hiring anyone worthwhile. Not so much a problem for counter staff, but he couldn't get cooks worth a damm.
The quality went to hell, and the place was hemorrhaging money and customers. He had to sell.

That car MC was almost on prorevenge level for me. SO SATISFYING.
¿Why is it that managers at some point will try to use their power on some things that are not work related? I’m not talking big things, they start getting comfortable and sometimes it’s kinda funny cause they forget how to do stuff.
As a teenager i failed my driver's test on purpose 3 times so i don't end up being free taxi and delivery service for the family.
I feel so sad about the girl proud of her tiny achievements in shifting the parents’ abuse.
That one post about the teen taking care of the family really struck a chord with me. I was making dinner for my family before I even hit 10 years old. I should mention that I have a sister 4 years older than me. When I was 12-15 when my mother would go camping, she left ME in charge, asking I essentially babysit my older sister... I took care of everyone in my home. Mother included. I distinctly remember one New year's Eve party she had and I was left taking care of 8 adults who got wasted. So much so that when I put some frozen ready to bake nibbles I put in the oven to help sober some of them up, I had to tell my mom to spit the frozen hors devours into my hand because it was raw pork. By the end of the night I was calling and procuring rides, helping the dipshits into cabs... Ugh
I can only imagine (during the whole word esencaly being shut down) how many doctors/nurses anyome who works in the medical field have been relieved from seeing absolute twit's of a patient (not the ones who ACTUALLY need help with something) who come in to the doctors to complain about not being able to breath to there nose when all they have is a common cold
Having worked in the hospital setting, on one hand it's always irritating getting someone who is a drama llama (i had a patient that faked seizures and passing out lol) but at the same time you gotta be empathetic and realize there's more going on in their lives that makes them a drama llama and it doesn't mean they're not ill. It was still a nice break from dealing with severe and serious cases so I'd much rather have a patient faking a seizure than a patient actually having one. Just had to keep reminding myself that I can judge later when I'm not on the job, cause I never want to be like the rude and nasty nurses I've personally had who dismissed my disability before I was officially diagnosed. I'd rather have my time wasted than assume everyone is lying.
@@McSnezzly fair enough
@@McSnezzly that's beautiful. Thank you
At the beginning of the older sibling story I was thinking maybe they're entitled and just got treated a little harsh because as the first kid they usually make mistakes. But damn was I wrong. When a 17 year old literally Is running your home you know you are doing something very wrong. And when they mentioned she's been a smart ass since she's been 4 Is ridiculous. Not once did they ever reflect and think "maybe we're the cause of her being smart with us". Bad parenting.
OP in the second story, that really felt structured like that episode of Daria
If you tell a child that is following your orders to be the responsible one when they make your house run like an oiled machine, you have failed as a parent
Calculated & Carless: That was excellent! I'm glad he was able to show how important he was to the household. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if they had nothing to do with their parents after being independent. Let that bratty sister take care of you when you're old as dirt
The Dad sucks btw
Wow, I wish that conversation went:
"OP, we believe you have learned your lesson and-"
"But have YOU learned your lesson?"
that new owner sounds like a great person with how they handeld that customer even when it was someone regular.
Never tolerate disrespect, especially from an old boomer. Put them in their place.
Ok so I did the math for the old man, he spent about 16 grand over the course of 20 years. (Without removing holidays or days the place might of been closed or reason for him not to be able to get to and from the restaurant.) so yeah. Not worth much.
For that restaurant story the manager should have said "Either you leave or i could have the police drag you out in handcuffs"
When you ground your child that ACTIVELY DRIVES from driving.
The child: *Signature look of superiority*
I wish my manager was as ballsy as some of these managers/owners when it comes to belligerent customers 🙄
I love it when guys get all sexists and demand to see a manager and emphasize MANager only to get laughed out 🤣
Parents who turn their kids into adults early should be put through exactly what OP went through. They couldn’t even handle adulting for 3 weeks.
My favorite moments Are when a customer tries to describe an item to you instead of telling you what is and you end up gabbing with them for about 10 minutes trying to figure out what the hell they want
"gambit" = stratagem
"gamut" = a complete range.
After that first story I thought I was watching one of the revenge subreddits 😌
Can't say I was the exact definition of golden goose but I for def identify with Op. I was made to do chores, make decent grades, constantly blamed for everything, and gaslight to hell and back while my siblings got the royal treatment. I always wondered what would happen if I wasn't around to be the obedient slave... well it burst their bubble when I left. It took two weeks for the cracks to form when they realized that their live in nanny and housekeeper was gone. By that time I was full-time at work and college and paying my own bills even if I was renting from them (which they tried to gaslight me with). I refused to help because I was no longer obligated to and the younger golden child refused because he was never taught too obey. None the less they got their comeuppance, lol.
Sometimes i really love seeing the auto generated captions. "Im here for a kobe test" and "my manager who has zero tollerance for carrots" lol
My mom suffered from parentification. It made a great mom but a very entitled "golden child" and equally so grandmother. She doesn't hate them, but it's obvious who the real adult is among the three of them.
That younger sister is gonna be a thorn in their side that can never be picked out; reap what you sow, the saying goes.
wow the one with the neglect hits so hard for me. I feel a lot of the same things op does and have the same reactions so… damn do i wish i did more malicious compliance lmaoo
While curfews are needed, it is counter-intuitive to have such a strict time. If you insist on only this one time for curfew, say 10pm not a minute later, kids will speed. Someone mentioned, on a different video with this story, a story where this strictness was fatal.
The gist of the story I remember: A couple was out late and he was speeding to bring her home for her curfew. He ended up running a stop sign and they got hit. Both were killed instantly.
In the thumbnail for this video the old man looks like he's hollering, "I like chocolate milk!" 🤣
All my life I wsa taught that "The customer is always right!" I'm glad that in my lifetime we all are calling bullshit on that, and the Karens who treat that quote like its the bible!
"My family dynamic was ... interesting"-LMAO yes I lived through that double standard being the oldest and the very uneven treatment and punishment. I wears out quickly and I also applied malicious compliance. This is a standard dysfunctional family and you will notice that the parents do not seam to learn. I started out as the golden child and then became the missing child.
you know it is a real story when the OP says they are "smart" or a "genies"
Op: I just like bikes!
Same op same.
"I had a few months of a great childhood" Oh that is rough. I believe they were almost 18 too.
9:25 hahahahhaa you said careless!!!!! Busted!!!!!
love your channel, keep up the good work.
I watch one of these while getting ready/eating a meal/ Honestly one of my fav parts of the day.
On the last story, they should have let that jerk go all the way to the camp and try to check in with his wrong test results!
Wow that 17 year old has such a massive chip on their shoulder. They’re literally venting out all their feelings in this story.
Not allowing your child to date as a teenager isn't going to stop them from dating, it's just going to stop them from telling you about it
This is my favorite subreddit by far
i want to comment about the golden goose of house management that they are *SAVAGE* i loved this story tbh
Never never NEVER use the kids to get back at your ex.... That's exactly what the last OP did. It's none of their business. What he did was worse than cheating.
PLEASE DO MORE LETS NOT MEET!!! I listened to all of them yesterday and it blew my mind! Thanks for helping me sleep
Sometimes when I'm home alone I go to the backyard garden get naked cover myself with dirt and crawl around in the dirt and pretend I'm an earthworm 😏
I beg your fucking pardon
The hell are you smoking?
Wdym "sometimes"? Why would you ever not?
I think the guy in the bike shop story is being treated too harshly here. Based on the post, he didn't actually say he thought she was incompetent.
Maybe he was mistreated by a woman in the past and did not feel comfortable around them. Maybe he's just nervous around women.
All he said was that he would like to be handled by someone else. In my mind, this does not justify accusing him of being sexist.
2:60 for coffee and toast amazing
The punishment of no driving being a double edged sword is so funny to me, punishments are 2 way streets I suppose
My neighbor is currently cutting down some of my trees :) might have a tree law story incoming as my Mom loses her absolute shit rn
Lmfao "I don't need your bus fare..."
No patience for Karens, but all Karens for patients. Poetry
rSlash: *finishes episode*
Me: where puppybloopers
Hi rSlash. I haven't watched much from your channel lately, but I'd just like to say.. thank you. I showed a few of your videos to my mother last fall, and she would binge watch them all day. They gave her a lot of joy and she and I would talk about stories we listened to from here. Our family had been going under tough times due to 'family drama' and my brother being rebellious. Unfortunately she passed away last October, but I remember coming home from school and seeing her laughing her ass off while watching one of these videos. I'm glad we had something we could talk about other than school and family drama.
Thank you, man.
The last one wasn't due to a lack of understanding. The father wanting the test REFUSED to understand. They told him multiple times what the test was and he was all, like, "I don't care! Just give it to him!", then gets mad when its brought up with the "revelation" from what the Soccer Camp said. Responsibility... what is it? You can't refuse warnings, self-inflict such a burn on yourself, then all of a sudden act like you were never warned. Oh well, the dad ought to listen next time instead of being hard-headed.
I worked at a retail pharmacy for four years, from January 2018-may 2022. The heart of the pandemic, I was working front and center lol. We did covid antibody tests, but we were the ONE store for my chain in town that did not do antiGEN tests. And even if we hadn't been, you are required to sign up ahead of time online to get your antigen test. The number of people I had to turn away (and quickly disinfect where they had been) was astounding. I preferred it when they called.
I also had someone, whose test I personally was going to do, who mixed up which test he needed. He panicked when I explained this wouldn't be usable by the airlines and he had a flight the same day. Covid tests sent to a lab usually take a couple days to get the results back. I don't know what he ended up doing but since I hadn't done the test before realizing he wanted the wrong one, I was able to refund him and even pointed him to the one clinic in town that we knew could do rapid tests (if you're willing to pay 100 dollars out of pocket. Regular tests are free, not the rapid ones).
I will post this here same as a different video with the Linzava story: OP is not a Psychopath, they just get schadenfreude from the vengeance from getting back at her abusers.

Schadenfreude
The amount of time a man told that I’m to young to be working and should work because I’m a girl and I should just sit my useless but down and let them show me how it’s done because it’s a man’s job
I live to watch your videos. I absolutely love waking up and just jumping on TH-cam to watch your new video. The only time I missed a few videos was when I was in boot camp, when I got out though, watched them all in a day or two
