It means the game is gonna be interesting. Either you're gonna fuck up majorly, or you're gonna somehow roll high enough to beat the odds and do something legendary. Just make sure to not press on if there is no way for it to be badass, since those are the moments that success isn't gonna be worth the high probability of failure. If you're going to mess with someone who appears helpless it's going to be a shitshow, but if you ask to do an unconventional attack, then it'll be great. We've had both in my campaign. One dude thought it'd be a great idea to try and catch a meteor, it was a tense moment of teamwork to try to save him, but also very funny and satisfying to hear how they insisted and ended as a pancake. Another dude tried to parry a metalgear to save a party member, rolled high enough and managed to luck out.
Sometimes, above anything else you can know about strategy and the game itself, reading the DM and the other players is the most important thing of all
You can pretty much take that phrase ‘designed by sentient suits and ties incapable of holding a spatula’ and it explains any dumb policy/practices for pretty much every workplace.
Essentially, yeah. I still recall one dumbass acting like I, a clerk assigned to collect carts and bring them to the indoor corral or the outdoor equivalent next to the front entrance, should be pushing triple the number of carts I was currently pushing. The funny thing is, I corrected him on the number of carts I was actually pushing at the time (it was about 6-7 that time), and besides I wasn't going to put my back out trying to push 20 at a time much less two rows at once.

Yeah, I had a huge grin and a little chuckle at that. I found that to be a wholesome story that filled me with a lil bit of pride instead of being disappointed. Hope they went on to kick ass and pass.
For the college professor story, I was honestly expecting the kid to ask if he could bring in an actual person as a source, like as in if their parent was actually a professional on the subject, or they knew someone who had already taken the class, or something and they were just going to bring them in as an information source to tell them all the answers.
What did that story take place though? Maybe different in America but we haven’t had answer sheets since the 1990s and even still it was only in high schools. Not even online. Because the teachers and professors actually have to know what they’re talking about if they want to grade our work.
@@limiv5272 DM: Dungeon Master (person who runs the game) OOC: Out Of Character. Used to refer to when players or the DM discuss the game without playing their roles (ex. A player asks the DM if a certain action might be possible and the DM gives them the information they need to decide).
The “assembler” or more specifically termed as the expediter, is literally the most critical position in a busy restaurant. These folks are VERY hard to find as the right person for that job. I used to go to other restaurants and swipe/steal the most hard core efficient waiter or waitress I could find that worked there and hire them to train specifically for that position. The perfect expediter took ALL the crap from the kitchen, wait staff, and management and it would roll right off their back while they made the entire place move like a well oiled machine. NEVER mess with the expediter/assembler EVER if you have selected the right person for that position!! The perfect expediter is like the sound mixing person at a live show. They can either make you like a hero with a perfect sound mix, or if you are a butthole to them, they can absolutely ruin your night, lol. ALWAYS pay your expediter at least 30-50% above your standard tipped wage paid and ALWAYS make sure they are tipped out at the end of the evening according to their ACTUAL performance. Creating an expediter position and putting in the right person can be an incredible boost to the restaurants bottom line. 😎
Yeah, I’ve never heard that position called an “assembler” before. I worked as an expo for several years and I felt like half of my job was stopping fights between the kitchen staff and waitstaff. The cooks saw me as one of them, but the waitstaff saw me as one of them, so the goal was when each had a problem to have them come to me instead of taking it up with the cooks/waitstaff personally. And I think because I’m a woman (in my experience, most expos are men), they were more likely to approach me more calmly or more like they were venting whereas with the guys they went off and took out their anger on them. I felt more like a mediator or counselor at times than kitchen staff. The worst was when we had several waiters that were taking steroids and you could see them getting angrier and angrier day by day. Eventually instead of coming to me with issues they would march past me and just start trying to physically fight the cooks. And I would have to help physically restrain them until more help got back there. And management never fired these roided out fuck heads. Never found out why not. We lost cooks over these assholes, but they still kept them around. It drove me especially crazy because such a huge part of my job was to prevent confrontation between waitstaff and cooks, yet these roid rage pricks would go to the line and start throwing punches.
Im a dishwasher at a restaurant. Rvery perosn in the back is an important part of the kitchen machine. Unless youve worked in a kitchen you shouldn't talk about what would be more efficient. This manager was an idiot
Mom: “I would like a raise.” Boss: “No.” Mom: “Okay, I quit. You have to pay me for all my PTO.” Boss: “So…let’s talk about that raise, shall we?” Mom: “Nope. Sorry, you had your chance.”
I've played far too much Dungeons and Dragons to the point where, if someone asks me if I'm SURE I want to do something, i back off right away because ive been conditioned to know that if someone aays that, its a REALLY BAD IDEA.
@@mattybrunolucaszeneresalas9072 When the designer op asked Mr. Promoter if he was SURE he wanted op to say why he stopped accepting checks in front of Mr. Promoter’s boss. Then Rslash give a little spiel about how if someone asks “are you SURE you wanna do that?” It should be taken as a warning and you should probably back down immediately. Same as “Can I get that in writing?”
I don't like reddit story poetry. OPs tend to lay it on too thick, to the point where it's like "do you want some fries with your ketchup?" Just tell the story, it'll be good or it won't.
Totally. 15 year chef, and most of the time problems happen with a rush, it's front of the houses fault. Stuff like this happens all the time because of some pompous FOTH management or under qualified wait staff taking food to the wrong table.
“WhY aRe YoU dOiNg AlL tHiS tO mE” Pay. Your. Staff. It ain’t that hard, chief, just pay your staff. The only person “doing all this” is yourself, because you’re a cheapskate trying to bully staff into working for free, likely hoping they’ll give up so you don’t have to pay them at all. I’ve worked with folk like this, I outright refused to hand over any of my photographs until I was paid, this went on for 5 weeks until she gave up. She sent me a snotty email claiming I’d “harassed” staff, I pointed out nobody had been harassed, and if she felt “harassed” by someone asking for their payment, then maybe she should take a long, hard look at her behaviour, and realise she’s the problem. She told me to go “take a long walk off a pier”. Lovely woman.
@@IAmTheSkinThief yup this was in person, so I just walked away from her. She was truly a vile woman and I’m just glad I actually got my money from her. I spoke to others and she just didn’t pay them and they were too scared of her to chase up their lost wages, whereas I just don’t care and don’t GAF so was determined to get my wages or take her to small claims court. She thankfully tanked her own business, a year and a half later she was out of business. Couldn’t have happened to a better person.
I'm a nurse and the hair color thing, I was told that I couldn't have "unnatural" hair color because it made me look untrustworthy. I was told that earlier in my career but now, years later, I make patients smile with my new teal blue and purple hair.
When I taught high school, the rules were no unnatural hair colors, no facial piercings, no visible tattoos. I obeyed perfectly. One day a few of my students saw me at the marina fishing with my brother, and I had no shirt on. My upper body is covered in ink, but you'd never know if I have on a tshirt. It blew them away that the art teacher was totally metal, with tattoos, pierced nipple and tongue, a wallet chain, and blazing red contact lenses.
In regards to the red lobster story, i think the manager was just looking to find a scape goat in OP more then anything, someone to shift the blame to so he can tell the customers that it was not actually him that fucked things up.
People who don't what they're doing will always micromanage. Employees who are too lazy to do their job will always yell at you and micromanage you when your busy doing your job on top of their job. Employees don't leave good managers, good co-workers, and good places of employment, they leave bad ones.
The only exception is when it's a dead-end job, and you're looking for higher pay. But yeah, one of my jobs I had, I had to leave because the customers were atrocious.
@@AmEv7fam but even then, that can still qualify as a bad job. If the pay was better, the employee would never leave. That's a fault of the company, sure, but still on the company end. There's plenty of "Dead ends" that pay enough to be sustainable. There's even more that are legitimate dead ends because the corporate ladder cut the crew to a skeleton of it's intended specifications, and then cut the pay with it to 'Save on costs'.
"Are you sure you want me to answer that?" comes under the same heading as "Will you please put that in writing for me?" Both are major red flags that someone is doing something stupid.
It's like *hey, you wanted it done this way so that's what you got. And Mr. Promoter maybe idk pay me within a reasonable time. Even showed an easier way to do it and you turned it down saying you wanted to keep doing things your way by the book so really shouldn't complain.* lol. One reaps what they sow
My mum has a similar (albeit less triumphant) story to the first one: She worked for the DWP (for non UK they're the ones who deal with pensions, occupational health etc) and they were fucking awful to her the whole time she worked there. The standard story of always undervaluing her at the yearly assessments and denying bonuses, yet always giving her new people to train, expecting her to take on supervisors role whenever they went off sick, reprimanding her if she ever spoke out etc (the DWP also chronically underpays their employees) Feb 2017 my gran passed away suddenly so my mum took time off for grief and then extra time to look after my grandda who had a mental breakdown. He was then diagnosed with terminal cancer (passed away March 2018, it was a rough 13 months). During this time they harassed her, trying to pressure her to come back to work, claiming the department needed her, that it was selfish to leave work for other people. The usual. This made her genuinely unwell but she was smart and documented it all. The day she was set to return she put in her 1 month's notice and took early retirement. Because of the documented mistreatment she was able to secure full backpayment for missed wages (the DWP are notorious for not giving it), she received a formal apology from her boss's boss and is just generally far more content with life now she doesn't have to work for them anymore!
I was hired at a convention center, when I was hired I had purple hair, on the third day I was told I have to dye my hair a natural hair color. I didn't what I did was get a wig and wore it to work but as soon as I clocked out I would take the wig off and walk out the door. I did the for the entire year that I worked there.
The types of fools to answer yes to "are you sure you want me to answer that" are the types of idiots to get put into a situation where they need to be asked that in the first place
The key question reminds me of a test a university lecturer set us once. He said "this is an open book, open laptop test and I am happy for you to work together". So we split up the test the night before on a Facebook group. Each of us who wanted to be involved took two questions each. When we started the test everyone took their questions and reported to the group. The lecturers visible confusion, realisation , horror and then pride was quite wonderful. The next lecture he chided the people who refused to be involved for not working smart. This was about ten years ago. Laptops were not yet a standard item that you brought to class and the average phone would chug so it was probably the first time he had seen that kind of scale come into play
7:20 rSlash, I think the answer to your question lies in the fact that those people who fall into that trap, have a tendency to lie to people all the time, so they assume that others are doing the same as they always do, and so they just don't believe things people tell them because they are constantly telling lies themselves. It certainly fits every situation that I have heard with someone falling into that trap, otherwise how else did that trap even come to exist, except that they lied to the someone who you want it in-writing for.
For the Payment Method story all I can say is this. Apparently the promoter guy had never played D&D before because if he had he would know that "Are you sure you want to do that" 99.9% of the time means you're about to screw yourself.
I used to work for a lawyer , after several times he asked me to do a task and he yelled at me that this is not what he asked for, and I started asking him to write down my tasks so I could do them the way he wanted, and he flatly refused every time ... so I did not stay there for a long time
It is bizarre to me how OP in the second story is not allowed to have colored hair at work and not in college. Here in the Philippines, it's the reverse. Colleges here (especially those owned by Christian congregations) are strict about uniform, hair colors, etc. I literally got violations and got my ID card confiscated because I forgot my belt and my skirt is "too short" even if there are students with shorter skirts (yeah, a lot of security guards in my former university love to power trip, especially the lady guards).
Some colleges are more lax in these things. As for the shop where he was working, it was retail. In other words you deal with customers. And obviously shop owner does not want to detract any customers away just because of your looks. Especialy older generations feel a bit anxiety when dealing with someone who has their hairs entirely in unnatural color. Same thing if that guy had tattos covering his face or excesive ammount of piercing. There is good chance that they would rather go somewhere else next time. So obviously shop owner will make rules about what appearance is and is not allowed. Fact that he was ok with streaks and did not react to those colored pin-ups shows that he was not asshole. On other side the employe was acting as a brat. Intentionaly leaving his front hair colored and intentionaly missing the point of his manager (either that or he was really dumb) and then arguing on technicalities while ignoring the point... yeah that was a butthole move.
I went to school in Mindanao, and the school staff nearly got 100% replaced because a student was a victim of abuse of power. I think it was a skirt thing. She came from a particularly rich family, so they did everything they can to show that other girls with shorter skirts were getting away with it just to piss them. They sued but I got me thinking how many high places that family knows.
@@iglidor except he WAS an a//hole! The employee was NOT a brat! He followed the rules! Less than a quarter of his hair was blue. He was an a//hole for still being pissy about it! And hardly anyone gets anxious over “unnatural hair colour” Yeah he intentionally left his hair colour in because I believe freedom of expression still exists????? And the rules said he could? The only one making a Butthole move about technicalities was his boss no one else period and final
@@iglidor you obviously have never worked retail almost every retail job I've had no one cares what color our hair is i work retail mines purple my boss doesn't care
Last time i heard someone say "can I have that in writing" was my dad saying how he was told to lift a 12.5 tonne part worth £100k..... With a 5 tonne fork lift..... Safe to say he told them to shove it when they asked why and said no Some managers are just ignorant
In the supermarket I go too (and worked for 10 years ago) there is a cashier who has had the rainbow of colors in her hair. I've pretty much seen all the colors. It's blue currently. She has been doing this for as long as I know her. (Around 12 years). Nobody truly gives a fuck about it. I love it!
As a restaurant worker, that last story got me! Btw, the walk-in is generally for crying, screaming, or helping a panic attack. I have a manager like Bob. It sucks but the kitchen never stops for micromanage bull crap.
The college story reminds me of this one story I read in a book of urban legends where a law professor allows students to use anything that they can carry into the classroom for their final. The punchline ends up being that one of the students carries in a person with a doctorate in law.
For the hair color post I had the same experience. when I applied for a job, I had blue green hair and They told me before they would hire a me. I had to go natural but I was just a truck driver. I came back the next day and they told me they gave my position to someone else. Companies can be very rude and hair color does not affect the way you work.
The student asked for answer key? OP must have been beaming with pride. The syllabus did say you can ask any resource and receive it. The answer key is *definitely* a resource. The Red Lobster way? As written by corporate types who wouldn't know which end of a spatula to grab except most spatulas have some wood or or something that looks like wood in their handles. I found out very quickly these corporate policies are good starting places. But not always good ending places. They're meant to be guidelines, not hard and fast rules.
Something I always wonders is what happens if someone had red or orange hair as there natural colours, would schools yell at them thinking it’s hair dye?
It happened in another Rslash video where a student had a medical condition that made their hair go white in certain patches. They got sent to the office and had to dye it a "natural" color and then got their parents called when the natural hair grew back in.
Restaurant manager: I worked in this tiny place once, with kind of a tough boss. I mean, I was the ONLY server. Early on, during slow times, I took the initiative to organize my area in the most efficient way for me, since I was the primary user. For a while, my boss would try to put things away where she wanted, but I would move them when I had time. I implemented faster and easier ways to do things, I made sure stock was properly rotated, I communicated when I was low on something. Slowly, she began to see I was improving the way things ran, and her wallet was benefitting. Finally, FINALLY, one day, she put some new stock down on a back counter and said with a smile, "I'd put this away, but I know you're just going to move it. Should I just leave it here until you get time to put it away?" I nodded and winked, and knew I had gained her respect. BEST job I ever had, and I stayed until her Dad got sick, and she had to sell.
Speaking of dumb policies, an old waitressing job of mine wouldn't let us call the cleaning rags "rags" (the ones you use to wipe down the tables and counters). Instead we were supposed to call them towels and would get yelled at if we didn't. The reason they gave? Rag is a euphemism for menstrual products. It is an old and RARELY used term where I am (I had never heard of the word having that meaning prior to this policy, and have only heard of it used that way once in my life since then.)
A saying I haven't heard for a long time. When people came to work grumpy or annoyed or got extra pissed off during the day it would be "watch out, Joe's on the rags." Used pretty much exclusively for male workers.
For the first time, timezones are to my benefit.. I love that you post during night time for me so I basically get a bedtime story with these- Keep up the good work
I worked as an assembler/alley coordinator for Red Lobster in my early 20's. Got to be there to see Endless Crab Legs and Endless Shrimp (both of which almost sank the franchise). The worst part was pushing hot food while servers screamed in my face to forget the entrees and make them house salads. I was expected to do both perfectly and simultaneously for $8.25 an hour. I do not miss that, or the mandatory split shifts, coming in at 6am and leaving at 2am with a 2 hour break in between.
Ok but I want to know who that teacher is. Teachers like that end up being the best teachers because students can like and trust them. I wish more teachers were like that
I feel that no unnatural hair color rule. Our store manager won't let us have any unnatural colored hair. Now, my hair is brown, but the issue arose when I wore WIG for Halloween, St. Patrick's Day, or any other Holiday we were allowed to dress up for. My green wig for St. Patrick's Day wig was green, naturally, and I got told (after a year and a half of doing this) that I can't. 🙄
12:45 I think it needs to be mentioned here that blocking a person's only exit during a confrontation is literally a form of physical abuse. Anything that can be perceived as threatening, aggressive, or intimidating (such as keeping a person contained in the room during a confrontation) is physical abuse. Don't stand for it.
In D&D, the things that the DM says to make you question everything are "are you sure?" and "where exactly are you standing?" In fact, if the DM asks for clarification at all, you should probably reconsider what you're doing. This is your last chance to prevent the dumb.
I had purple hair for years working in a supermarket and had purple hair for years, but I did wear a hat so no-one complained but after about 6 months my grandma asked if I knew if my hair was purple?
I mean, if a manager tells you your hair is violating the dress code, you have to comply or risk getting fired. It's called At-Will employment meaning they can pretty much fire you for anything they deem reasonable to be fired over and you sign a contract accepting that when you start employment
As a former fast food employee, one tip to anyone still working at one: if your boss asks too " talk in the cooler/walk in, DON'T! It is a common tactic poor managers use to isolate 1 person without witness so that they can drum up any excuse to shift blame on said isolated employee. Thankfully, because of smartphones being so common, this practice is falling out of favor. ALWAYS COVER YOUR BACKSIDE!!
That answer key one reminds me of a story one of my professors told me. I was in his office getting out of class feedback on an assignment when I noticed a clay tablet, then another, then a few more. So I asked him what they were about: He had a tradition in one particular class (not the subject I was in) where for a major assignment he said if a student wrote their essay on a clay tablet they get an instant A. He claimed that he might get one every other year or so, but one year, in a class of about 25-30 students, he got ELEVEN tablets. And that was when he decided it was time to end the tradition on a high note.
In regards to story 1: The reason why your ability to serve others is affected by bright, eye catching and eventually eye soring colors is because it isn't a natural look. Businesses want you to be a robot no matter what and consistency is best in that regard. The fact that people don't understand this still baffles me.
I've had colored hair for years now and no one's really said anything. I get compliments on it sometimes. I think it mostly depends on your boss. I did die it a natural color for an interview a few months back and when I went to work there I asked about they said as long as your clothes aren't revealing we don't care about your hair. It was great. I think it depends more on the bosses mentality than anything
I had someone in my work who had pink hair the manager was OK whit into a couple of customers complained about to the high office the next day the manager told everyone we cant have guide her because of customer complaints it not looking professional
@@velvetdarksoul8741 They might be one of THOSE bosses. The one that needs everyone to look almost the same. I don't know many places around where I live that you can't have different hair color. I saw a girl with purple and green a day ago, looked like Mardi Gras. It was awesome. It's the customers that are the problem. Nothing about my looks has to do with how well I ignore your idiocy.
I'm pretty sure even most boomers at this point don't care about hair color. I guess It depends on were you live. I live in the south east and see random hair colors at retail stores/ restaurants/ what ever on the daily and no one Karens out about it. And these companies wonder why no one wants to work for them. They have all these deranged rules.
In bobs defense, the red lobster way is the most sanitary way. Empty plates just chilling waiting for food to be placed on them leaves them and the food open to contamination (whether that be from an accident or food that shouldn't touch touching), or something getting knocked over/broken.
The boss with the hair thing it's just the fun police I always make a joke of my work you can't have fun here because fun is illegal any amount of fun will get you terminated
PTO: My Dad was injured on the job. His boss was bitching at him about when he'd be back, for a week straight, despite doctor's orders for at least a month. Dad told her he had enough accrued sick time to stay off work until he retired, so leave him to recover in peace or never see him again.
I think for the hospital story some counters exist, I know my dad had taken a lot more off days one year because he had extra, and the extra ones would go away at the end of the year, so sometimes he’d just take a Friday off. So I think some jobs have a built in counter to this. (Not sure if extra off days were also carried over days which is why I’m not sure)
I once worked at grocery store that has a kitchen where we make pizza for orders and for warmer. I live in town that farmers and the town population and even people ftom different towns miles coming in and they like their food a certain way. I would make pizza with etra cheese and toppings on it etc. One of which was cheese pizza that farmers and often requested. I put cheddar cheese on it which wasn't suppose to but i did the way the customer wanted it. The district manager told to make it by the book. I told the district manager that it would end badly because I do it the way the customers wants it. The district manager told me to do it the company has it the books. 2 weeks later the district manager told me to go back to way I was doing it. I gave the district manager a big fat I told you so. Customers got mad at the fact that by the books meant barley any topping or cheese on the pizza. I guess they complained about not getting the way they want. Do not piss off farmers
7:19 I've said it before and I'll say it again: They. Are. Arrogant. They will *never* doubt themselves. The only reason that you would is because you have humility and integrity.
I work voluntarely at a home (light and heavy dementia) and i can wear hats, beanies heavy metal shirts. litteraly, no one cares, not even the elderly (i even get some compliments because they like the drawings on it (Like Skalmold for example) =)
So at work we've got this guy who likes to dye his hair proper bright colours but usually non of management say anything, well one time he got the wrong dye and it was like this atomic/neon purple/pink colour and he got told off for that, so he dyed it our work colours (bright orange and a navy blue), one of the managers gave him a cap and saw the funny side.
7:20 or so. I mean, personally, having stuff in writing (physical or email) is the best thing ever. Especially as a student. I always want everything in writing so if stuff goes south for whatever reason, my butt is covered. (Plus with my massive amount of anxiety, plan for the worst, hope for the best, and cover your butt at all costs)
Fun fact! Having colored hair does NOT affect one's ability to serve customers! Or do anything but look cool :3 - Sincerely, someone with purple hair who works in a gas station.
Some of these remind me of a place I worked at: I used to work at a two story, 24/7 50's style diner back in 2017. During training they expected us to memorize the menu, but changed it about twice a week so half of us barely passed. Once we started further training and work, the managers were nagging and rude. If the back of house screed up, then they blamed the entire waitstaff which, btw were all girls. Back of house were all men. About a month in, one of the cooks threw a plate at me and it missed me. I ended up throwing it back. There were tons of other issues, like the managers hiring their niece and daughter and when the niece dropped almost everything she carried during the soft opening, or the others didn't take care of their tables: I either covered for them, or got the blame. In the end, they fired me because I had to take pressure off my leg because of an old injury that didn't heal right (which, they knew about since before they hired me) and told me: *"We can't use you anymore." "You're not worth keeping."* so, I left and spoke to the senator of my state *he's a friend of my great grandmother* and he gave me the numbers for OSHA and DEHEC. The diner had had health code violations, and a lot of other stuff happen. They ended up getting shut down exactly three months to the day they fired me.
The story about the professor was so wholesome. I'm glad that creativity and ingenuity won the day there even if it meant an easy test and wasted lessons.
The one thing that D&D taught me: when the DM says “are you sure?” that means you’re about to screw up royally

Nah, it doesn't mean anything at all, don't be so paranoid :) Also ignore these dice I just randomly roll for no reason :)

Yeah, I had a huge grin and a little chuckle at that. I found that to be a wholesome story that filled me with a lil bit of pride instead of being disappointed. Hope they went on to kick ass and pass.
For sure! It’s nice that OP was just happy the student was using some clever reasoning :D
For the college professor story, I was honestly expecting the kid to ask if he could bring in an actual person as a source, like as in if their parent was actually a professional on the subject, or they knew someone who had already taken the class, or something and they were just going to bring them in as an information source to tell them all the answers.
Lmao I was honestly waiting for the student to ask to use the professor as their resource for the test.
I was actually expecting them to ask for the answer key. I thought of that when he said they could use ANY resource.
@@bumblebeefan24 I thought the same but was suprised for them asking for the answer key. that was a big brain move.
I totally expected asking for the answer key but, hoped they asked to use the professor as their resource. It'd have been hilarious.
What did that story take place though? Maybe different in America but we haven’t had answer sheets since the 1990s and even still it was only in high schools. Not even online.
Because the teachers and professors actually have to know what they’re talking about if they want to grade our work.
There's a reason why DND players fear the sentence "Are you sure ?" when it's the DM OOC saying it
“I want to attack that mysterious old man to get whatever is in his pockets!”
“Are you sure?”
“… you know what? I think I got enough loot.”
@@animeotaku307 and then you have the people that still attack the stranger and the DM pulls out a dusty old Char sheet of a lvl 20 fighter

The “assembler” or more specifically termed as the expediter, is literally the most critical position in a busy restaurant. These folks are VERY hard to find as the right person for that job. I used to go to other restaurants and swipe/steal the most hard core efficient waiter or waitress I could find that worked there and hire them to train specifically for that position. The perfect expediter took ALL the crap from the kitchen, wait staff, and management and it would roll right off their back while they made the entire place move like a well oiled machine. NEVER mess with the expediter/assembler EVER if you have selected the right person for that position!! The perfect expediter is like the sound mixing person at a live show. They can either make you like a hero with a perfect sound mix, or if you are a butthole to them, they can absolutely ruin your night, lol. ALWAYS pay your expediter at least 30-50% above your standard tipped wage paid and ALWAYS make sure they are tipped out at the end of the evening according to their ACTUAL performance. Creating an expediter position and putting in the right person can be an incredible boost to the restaurants bottom line. 😎
Yeah, I’ve never heard that position called an “assembler” before.
I worked as an expo for several years and I felt like half of my job was stopping fights between the kitchen staff and waitstaff.
The cooks saw me as one of them, but the waitstaff saw me as one of them, so the goal was when each had a problem to have them come to me instead of taking it up with the cooks/waitstaff personally.
And I think because I’m a woman (in my experience, most expos are men), they were more likely to approach me more calmly or more like they were venting whereas with the guys they went off and took out their anger on them.
I felt more like a mediator or counselor at times than kitchen staff.
The worst was when we had several waiters that were taking steroids and you could see them getting angrier and angrier day by day.
Eventually instead of coming to me with issues they would march past me and just start trying to physically fight the cooks.
And I would have to help physically restrain them until more help got back there.
And management never fired these roided out fuck heads. Never found out why not. We lost cooks over these assholes, but they still kept them around.
It drove me especially crazy because such a huge part of my job was to prevent confrontation between waitstaff and cooks, yet these roid rage pricks would go to the line and start throwing punches.

It ain’t that hard, chief, just pay your staff. The only person “doing all this” is yourself, because you’re a cheapskate trying to bully staff into working for free, likely hoping they’ll give up so you don’t have to pay them at all. I’ve worked with folk like this, I outright refused to hand over any of my photographs until I was paid, this went on for 5 weeks until she gave up. She sent me a snotty email claiming I’d “harassed” staff, I pointed out nobody had been harassed, and if she felt “harassed” by someone asking for their payment, then maybe she should take a long, hard look at her behaviour, and realise she’s the problem.

@@sabersky1134
Young women have been doing this for years already, and not because it's an FU to a rule at work.
When I taught high school, the rules were no unnatural hair colors, no facial piercings, no visible tattoos. I obeyed perfectly. One day a few of my students saw me at the marina fishing with my brother, and I had no shirt on. My upper body is covered in ink, but you'd never know if I have on a tshirt. It blew them away that the art teacher was totally metal, with tattoos, pierced nipple and tongue, a wallet chain, and blazing red contact lenses.
"Some bunk-ass seafood restaurant" is exactly what I'll call red lobster from now on, that was gold 💀
In regards to the red lobster story, i think the manager was just looking to find a scape goat in OP more then anything, someone to shift the blame to so he can tell the customers that it was not actually him that fucked things up.
People who don't what they're doing will always micromanage. Employees who are too lazy to do their job will always yell at you and micromanage you when your busy doing your job on top of their job. Employees don't leave good managers, good co-workers, and good places of employment, they leave bad ones.
The only exception is when it's a dead-end job, and you're looking for higher pay. But yeah, one of my jobs I had, I had to leave because the customers were atrocious.
Who don't what?
Who don't what!?
@@AmEv7fam but even then, that can still qualify as a bad job. If the pay was better, the employee would never leave. That's a fault of the company, sure, but still on the company end.
There's plenty of "Dead ends" that pay enough to be sustainable. There's even more that are legitimate dead ends because the corporate ladder cut the crew to a skeleton of it's intended specifications, and then cut the pay with it to 'Save on costs'.

My mum has a similar (albeit less triumphant) story to the first one: She worked for the DWP (for non UK they're the ones who deal with pensions, occupational health etc) and they were fucking awful to her the whole time she worked there. The standard story of always undervaluing her at the yearly assessments and denying bonuses, yet always giving her new people to train, expecting her to take on supervisors role whenever they went off sick, reprimanding her if she ever spoke out etc (the DWP also chronically underpays their employees)
Feb 2017 my gran passed away suddenly so my mum took time off for grief and then extra time to look after my grandda who had a mental breakdown. He was then diagnosed with terminal cancer (passed away March 2018, it was a rough 13 months). During this time they harassed her, trying to pressure her to come back to work, claiming the department needed her, that it was selfish to leave work for other people. The usual.
This made her genuinely unwell but she was smart and documented it all. The day she was set to return she put in her 1 month's notice and took early retirement. Because of the documented mistreatment she was able to secure full backpayment for missed wages (the DWP are notorious for not giving it), she received a formal apology from her boss's boss and is just generally far more content with life now she doesn't have to work for them anymore!

The key question reminds me of a test a university lecturer set us once. He said "this is an open book, open laptop test and I am happy for you to work together".
So we split up the test the night before on a Facebook group. Each of us who wanted to be involved took two questions each. When we started the test everyone took their questions and reported to the group. The lecturers visible confusion, realisation , horror and then pride was quite wonderful. The next lecture he chided the people who refused to be involved for not working smart.
This was about ten years ago. Laptops were not yet a standard item that you brought to class and the average phone would chug so it was probably the first time he had seen that kind of scale come into play

7:20 rSlash, I think the answer to your question lies in the fact that those people who fall into that trap, have a tendency to lie to people all the time, so they assume that others are doing the same as they always do, and so they just don't believe things people tell them because they are constantly telling lies themselves.
It certainly fits every situation that I have heard with someone falling into that trap, otherwise how else did that trap even come to exist, except that they lied to the someone who you want it in-writing for.
For the Payment Method story all I can say is this. Apparently the promoter guy had never played D&D before because if he had he would know that "Are you sure you want to do that" 99.9% of the time means you're about to screw yourself.

It is bizarre to me how OP in the second story is not allowed to have colored hair at work and not in college. Here in the Philippines, it's the reverse. Colleges here (especially those owned by Christian congregations) are strict about uniform, hair colors, etc.
I literally got violations and got my ID card confiscated because I forgot my belt and my skirt is "too short" even if there are students with shorter skirts (yeah, a lot of security guards in my former university love to power trip, especially the lady guards).
Some colleges are more lax in these things. As for the shop where he was working, it was retail. In other words you deal with customers. And obviously shop owner does not want to detract any customers away just because of your looks. Especialy older generations feel a bit anxiety when dealing with someone who has their hairs entirely in unnatural color. Same thing if that guy had tattos covering his face or excesive ammount of piercing. There is good chance that they would rather go somewhere else next time.
So obviously shop owner will make rules about what appearance is and is not allowed. Fact that he was ok with streaks and did not react to those colored pin-ups shows that he was not asshole. On other side the employe was acting as a brat. Intentionaly leaving his front hair colored and intentionaly missing the point of his manager (either that or he was really dumb) and then arguing on technicalities while ignoring the point... yeah that was a butthole move.
I went to school in Mindanao, and the school staff nearly got 100% replaced because a student was a victim of abuse of power. I think it was a skirt thing.
She came from a particularly rich family, so they did everything they can to show that other girls with shorter skirts were getting away with it just to piss them.
They sued but I got me thinking how many high places that family knows.
@@iglidor except he WAS an a//hole! The employee was NOT a brat! He followed the rules! Less than a quarter of his hair was blue.

In the supermarket I go too (and worked for 10 years ago) there is a cashier who has had the rainbow of colors in her hair. I've pretty much seen all the colors. It's blue currently. She has been doing this for as long as I know her. (Around 12 years). Nobody truly gives a fuck about it. I love it!
You know, most people I heard doing micromanaging are people who didn't know what they are actually doing.
As a restaurant worker, that last story got me! Btw, the walk-in is generally for crying, screaming, or helping a panic attack. I have a manager like Bob. It sucks but the kitchen never stops for micromanage bull crap.
The college story reminds me of this one story I read in a book of urban legends where a law professor allows students to use anything that they can carry into the classroom for their final. The punchline ends up being that one of the students carries in a person with a doctorate in law.
The "Are you sure...?" and "Can I get this written...?" are just another way of asking "Do you want to absolutely screw yourself ten times over?"
For the hair color post I had the same experience. when I applied for a job, I had blue green hair and They told me before they would hire a me. I had to go natural but I was just a truck driver. I came back the next day and they told me they gave my position to someone else. Companies can be very rude and hair color does not affect the way you work.
The student asked for answer key? OP must have been beaming with pride. The syllabus did say you can ask any resource and receive it. The answer key is *definitely* a resource.
The Red Lobster way? As written by corporate types who wouldn't know which end of a spatula to grab except most spatulas have some wood or or something that looks like wood in their handles. I found out very quickly these corporate policies are good starting places. But not always good ending places. They're meant to be guidelines, not hard and fast rules.
Something I always wonders is what happens if someone had red or orange hair as there natural colours, would schools yell at them thinking it’s hair dye?
It happened in another Rslash video where a student had a medical condition that made their hair go white in certain patches. They got sent to the office and had to dye it a "natural" color and then got their parents called when the natural hair grew back in.
Restaurant manager: I worked in this tiny place once, with kind of a tough boss. I mean, I was the ONLY server. Early on, during slow times, I took the initiative to organize my area in the most efficient way for me, since I was the primary user. For a while, my boss would try to put things away where she wanted, but I would move them when I had time. I implemented faster and easier ways to do things, I made sure stock was properly rotated, I communicated when I was low on something. Slowly, she began to see I was improving the way things ran, and her wallet was benefitting. Finally, FINALLY, one day, she put some new stock down on a back counter and said with a smile, "I'd put this away, but I know you're just going to move it. Should I just leave it here until you get time to put it away?" I nodded and winked, and knew I had gained her respect. BEST job I ever had, and I stayed until her Dad got sick, and she had to sell.
I worked at a Red Lobster for 2 years and have never once heard anything about a “Red Lobster way.”
I LOVE the writing in the Red Lobster story's OP. They write like I do!
Speaking of dumb policies, an old waitressing job of mine wouldn't let us call the cleaning rags "rags" (the ones you use to wipe down the tables and counters). Instead we were supposed to call them towels and would get yelled at if we didn't. The reason they gave? Rag is a euphemism for menstrual products. It is an old and RARELY used term where I am (I had never heard of the word having that meaning prior to this policy, and have only heard of it used that way once in my life since then.)
A saying I haven't heard for a long time. When people came to work grumpy or annoyed or got extra pissed off during the day it would be "watch out, Joe's on the rags." Used pretty much exclusively for male workers.

I worked as an assembler/alley coordinator for Red Lobster in my early 20's. Got to be there to see Endless Crab Legs and Endless Shrimp (both of which almost sank the franchise). The worst part was pushing hot food while servers screamed in my face to forget the entrees and make them house salads. I was expected to do both perfectly and simultaneously for $8.25 an hour. I do not miss that, or the mandatory split shifts, coming in at 6am and leaving at 2am with a 2 hour break in between.
Ok but I want to know who that teacher is. Teachers like that end up being the best teachers because students can like and trust them. I wish more teachers were like that
I feel that no unnatural hair color rule. Our store manager won't let us have any unnatural colored hair. Now, my hair is brown, but the issue arose when I wore WIG for Halloween, St. Patrick's Day, or any other Holiday we were allowed to dress up for. My green wig for St. Patrick's Day wig was green, naturally, and I got told (after a year and a half of doing this) that I can't. 🙄
That teacher story was gold. You just know after that student left with the answer key that he just laughed to himself.
12:45 I think it needs to be mentioned here that blocking a person's only exit during a confrontation is literally a form of physical abuse. Anything that can be perceived as threatening, aggressive, or intimidating (such as keeping a person contained in the room during a confrontation) is physical abuse. Don't stand for it.
Depending on the location, it can be seen as kidnapping

In D&D, the things that the DM says to make you question everything are "are you sure?" and "where exactly are you standing?" In fact, if the DM asks for clarification at all, you should probably reconsider what you're doing. This is your last chance to prevent the dumb.

As a former fast food employee, one tip to anyone still working at one: if your boss asks too " talk in the cooler/walk in, DON'T!
It is a common tactic poor managers use to isolate 1 person without witness so that they can drum up any excuse to shift blame on said isolated employee. Thankfully, because of smartphones being so common, this practice is falling out of favor. ALWAYS COVER YOUR BACKSIDE!!
That answer key one reminds me of a story one of my professors told me.
I was in his office getting out of class feedback on an assignment when I noticed a clay tablet, then another, then a few more. So I asked him what they were about:
He had a tradition in one particular class (not the subject I was in) where for a major assignment he said if a student wrote their essay on a clay tablet they get an instant A.
He claimed that he might get one every other year or so, but one year, in a class of about 25-30 students, he got ELEVEN tablets. And that was when he decided it was time to end the tradition on a high note.

In regards to story 1:
The reason why your ability to serve others is affected by bright, eye catching and eventually eye soring colors is because it isn't a natural look. Businesses want you to be a robot no matter what and consistency is best in that regard. The fact that people don't understand this still baffles me.
I've had colored hair for years now and no one's really said anything. I get compliments on it sometimes. I think it mostly depends on your boss. I did die it a natural color for an interview a few months back and when I went to work there I asked about they said as long as your clothes aren't revealing we don't care about your hair. It was great. I think it depends more on the bosses mentality than anything

@@velvetdarksoul8741 They might be one of THOSE bosses. The one that needs everyone to look almost the same. I don't know many places around where I live that you can't have different hair color.

I'm pretty sure even most boomers at this point don't care about hair color. I guess It depends on were you live. I live in the south east and see random hair colors at retail stores/ restaurants/ what ever on the daily and no one Karens out about it. And these companies wonder why no one wants to work for them. They have all these deranged rules.

PTO: My Dad was injured on the job. His boss was bitching at him about when he'd be back, for a week straight, despite doctor's orders for at least a month. Dad told her he had enough accrued sick time to stay off work until he retired, so leave him to recover in peace or never see him again.
I think for the hospital story some counters exist, I know my dad had taken a lot more off days one year because he had extra, and the extra ones would go away at the end of the year, so sometimes he’d just take a Friday off. So I think some jobs have a built in counter to this. (Not sure if extra off days were also carried over days which is why I’m not sure)
That sentence about “the rules were made by big men in suits who have never held a spatula” is so effing true
The manager of a restaurant should be in the office doing paperwork. The sous chef should be overseeing the assembler.
I once worked at grocery store that has a kitchen where we make pizza for orders and for warmer. I live in town that farmers and the town population and even people ftom different towns miles coming in and they like their food a certain way. I would make pizza with etra cheese and toppings on it etc. One of which was cheese pizza that farmers and often requested. I put cheddar cheese on it which wasn't suppose to but i did the way the customer wanted it. The district manager told to make it by the book. I told the district manager that it would end badly because I do it the way the customers wants it. The district manager told me to do it the company has it the books. 2 weeks later the district manager told me to go back to way I was doing it. I gave the district manager a big fat I told you so. Customers got mad at the fact that by the books meant barley any topping or cheese on the pizza. I guess they complained about not getting the way they want. Do not piss off farmers
7:19 I've said it before and I'll say it again: They. Are. Arrogant.
They will *never* doubt themselves. The only reason that you would is because you have humility and integrity.
I work voluntarely at a home (light and heavy dementia) and i can wear hats, beanies heavy metal shirts. litteraly, no one cares, not even the elderly (i even get some compliments because they like the drawings on it (Like Skalmold for example) =)
holy crap I'm on time!
So at work we've got this guy who likes to dye his hair proper bright colours but usually non of management say anything, well one time he got the wrong dye and it was like this atomic/neon purple/pink colour and he got told off for that, so he dyed it our work colours (bright orange and a navy blue), one of the managers gave him a cap and saw the funny side.
The thumbnail made my throat itch. I just got over a nasty cold and it was not at all welcome. Good job, very accurate feeling to those stories.
7:20 or so.
I mean, personally, having stuff in writing (physical or email) is the best thing ever. Especially as a student. I always want everything in writing so if stuff goes south for whatever reason, my butt is covered. (Plus with my massive amount of anxiety, plan for the worst, hope for the best, and cover your butt at all costs)
Fun fact! Having colored hair does NOT affect one's ability to serve customers! Or do anything but look cool :3
- Sincerely, someone with purple hair who works in a gas station.
If anything, I think more customers would come to that employee for questions
@@Roslynguy Everyone loves our colored hair. Young and old, I've only ever gotten compliments. So... yes. XD

Story 5 is amazing, I am actually surprised that OP let the kid have the answer sheet.
Some of these remind me of a place I worked at:
I used to work at a two story, 24/7 50's style diner back in 2017. During training they expected us to memorize the menu, but changed it about twice a week so half of us barely passed. Once we started further training and work, the managers were nagging and rude. If the back of house screed up, then they blamed the entire waitstaff which, btw were all girls. Back of house were all men. About a month in, one of the cooks threw a plate at me and it missed me. I ended up throwing it back. There were tons of other issues, like the managers hiring their niece and daughter and when the niece dropped almost everything she carried during the soft opening, or the others didn't take care of their tables: I either covered for them, or got the blame. In the end, they fired me because I had to take pressure off my leg because of an old injury that didn't heal right (which, they knew about since before they hired me) and told me: *"We can't use you anymore." "You're not worth keeping."* so, I left and spoke to the senator of my state *he's a friend of my great grandmother* and he gave me the numbers for OSHA and DEHEC. The diner had had health code violations, and a lot of other stuff happen. They ended up getting shut down exactly three months to the day they fired me.
That thumbnails gonna keep me up all day- why does it look like that old "y no" meme
The story about the professor was so wholesome. I'm glad that creativity and ingenuity won the day there even if it meant an easy test and wasted lessons.
I had an Assistant Manager with rainbow hair. I'm glad my work in retail doesn't care about colour. I'm going Pink the end of the month.
