Had a landlord once try to not give our deposit back. She said that she had to send someone to clean the mess we left which was BS. I spent a whole week cleaning both the new place and the old place that we were renting from her. Needless to say, she gave me my deposit back when I told her that I had pictures of what that place looked like when we 1st moved in and I would not hesitate to take them to the magistrates office. She even tried to take credit for any upgrades that we made to the house until I told her I still had receipts for when WE purchased them. After that, we found our forever home and left and never looked back. THANK YOU for all you do on this channel. Me and my 10yr old are thoroughly addicted!😂
Sometimes there are lots of workers and few jobs. THIS is the situation the socialists always believe is the case and that is why the socialists need to ride to our rescue. BUT just as often there are lots of jobs and few workers.
@太郎山田 or a fellow server who routinely tips 50% or more... It's not about me...its about making the world around me just a little bit better...a little bit HAPPIER It's like I always say "Find a little miracle each and every day...and if you cant, MAKE ONE"
In Canada we don't have a server's wage so a tip is a bonus minimum wage in Canada is $15 an hour and a waitress working in a high-end restaurant would be making probably $18 an hour minimum.
Honestly, no one tips 30% unless you're hosting a very large get together (e.g. wedding rehearsal dinner) or are feeling overly generous and want to do a good deed for the day. 18% auto gratuity is pretty much the norm these days for parties, although some servers get their panties in a bunch if you tip less than 20%, so you can add anywhere from 2 to 5% on top of the auto.
As an ex chef/server/waitress... i was lucky to get a job that paid hourly (i always did $1 over minimum wage so like $12/hour at the time is what I made) plus tips. I never cared about tips tbh as I was making like $1000 every 2 weeks. Tips were my fun money as I was the server that went above and beyond and always took home $300 + a week in tips. I miss those days ... not the karens and customer service but definitely those days of $2000 plus the $1200 or more in tips... i wish i saved more and invested but i was an idiot
The "You can be replaced" boss reminds me of a lady I worked with. She worked for a Doctor for years until he decided to fire her and hire a younger woman at a much lower pay rate. She came to work at our store just to make some money until she figured out what to do next. About a month later she lets us know she's leaving. Turns out the Doctor called her and BEGGED for her to come back. The new lady had screwed everything up (lost patient files, sent the wrong info to insurance companies, etc) and he wanted her back. She went back..... after he gave her a raise and assurance that she'd still get the same hours as before. He said yes.
I did once, and it was the day I decided to go back to the Army. this was c~2006 and a table of 20 came, this was midday on a Sunday, they total ticket was somewhere in the vicinity of $1200. Ok, I thought, I will be working hard but it will be worth it... the entire time I had to wait on them hand and food, break everything down big bird/barny style, ran over to them at their every beck and call, they were so needy it took attention off my other tables, but hey this tip will be the difference between deciding groceries and rent or getting both on the same paycheck. when the dust settled I got a tip of "John 3:16, Jesus saves, even Jew's like you". I tore off my smock, walked out, confronted them, letting them know that them doing that costs me money (our system deducted "'expected tip" (%10)) from our check and that now I could not get food or rent in and they can take the tip, roll it up and shove it up their self righteous, sanctimonious, and smug asses. They, like all Karens ever went to talk to the manager, when I got the call I knew was coming I had the Army career counselor answer the phone letting my manager know I was going to MEPS in the AM and to take it as if I had quit. Going back to war as a combat arms MOS was less stressful than dealing with church folk. I will also say bless the civil service relief act, I was able to break lease without any issues, and I now work in a very good, well paying job making ends meet very easily.
"cringey" is, I think, the word you were looking for. I'm so glad that my country doesn't have "tipping." Instead, our employers pay a living wage. Guess what? The staff still generally do a great job. It's almost as though if you pay someone what they're worth, they'll give you their worth in return.
That second story really got my goat. What's customary is you tip what you want, when you want and no waiter/ waitress is intitled to a tip. Now I say this as a person whose mother was a waitress my whole life and she would agree with me 100%. Tips are earned.
“Sorry hun, if you can’t afford to be eating out, then you shouldn’t be doing so!” Sorry hun, if you’re so well off, why are you asking people to tip more?
I don't eat out often, but I d have a favorite place that is family run. Dad takes all tips off table and daughters never see it. ( small town, everyone knows) Patrons , me included, have made a game out of slipping tips dirrectly into daughters hands without dad seeing. Bet he thinks we are a bunch of cheap sobs. Lol
Here lately I have been giving tips directly to servers ( and giving it to my grandkids to give to the servers so they learn to do that as well) because if you leave it on the table other people come along and steal it before the server sees it. When paying by card I don't tip on the card, I give the server cash and tell the person at the register I already tipped. I do that so the boss can't steal the tip meant for the server.
I don't understand the American tipping culture at all, it's just screwed up all round...do you tip at McDonald's?? Or at foodtrucks too?? It's just confusing...and don't even get me started on how weird the seperate sales tax thingie is- is that included in the tip??!
After the Entitled Waitress complained about the Tips and stated the minimum acceptable tips were 20%, I'd have gone into the Restaurant the next day and calmly spoken to the Manager and mentioned her typical level of Service was unacceptable (and listed how and why it was unacceptable) and what she told me and that because of her Entitlement and poor Service, I and my 12-18 friends would not be returning to the Restaurant...
I know. One time I went to the self car wash. A lady was parked in front of the open bay, I guess waiting for her son to come wash her car. So I drove around the other side & started using the bay. 3 min. tops. She starts giving me shit about it, with the wand in my hand. So tempting...
Had to laugh out loud when you said "Oh Joy!". Sister Mary Martin, who I used to work with and loved so much used to say that a lot. We always knew it was her way of saying something else and was so endearing.
I recall something my Father told me once about when he went in person to the council offices in order to pay the bi-annual rates, (something he purposely did in person to avoid any kind of shenanigans), and on this occasion the amount came to 5 pence short of a full pound, (i.e. xxx.95p), which he paid to the nearest pound. Having handed the money over, he waited for the 5 pence change to be proffered, to which the cashier rudely stated that it was, 'only 5 pence.' My father immediately retorted that if the amount owed was xxx.05p, and he only paid to the nearest pound, would they accept the same statement of, 'it's only 5 pence', from him? They begrudgingly gave the 5p, and instead of pocketing it, he threw it back and told them to stick it in a charity box.
Wow what an asshole. I’m glad it’s never happened to me. Lol, before I moved area and changed doctor surgeries I used to buy an over the counter medication pretty regularly. The change was always 2 to 6 pence and each time I’d ask them to put it in the charity pot. Eventually all the staff knew me and instead of giving me the paltry change they’d pause over the charity pot with a questioning look at me. I’d smile and nod and in went the change. But no matter how many times I went there, they all sought my consent before dropping the change into the charity pot.
I once went to the court building to pay a speeding ticket (U.S.). I totally deserved it, was driving like an a-hole; and, am now a much safer driver. Because I was wearing a KISS shirt, the clerk assumed I was there to fight the ticket. Anyway, while paying, she has me show proof of insurance, stating the fine was much higher without it. I show it. After paying, I ask how much would it have been without it? She calculates & tells me. Less than I was paying for insurance! Anyway, you're an idiot to drive without insurance. That's why they made it a law!
16:36 "all my employees are expendables" reminds of that one seen from "Big fish" "There comes a time when a reasonable man will swallow his pride and, admit that he's made a terrible mistake. The truth is, I was never a reasonable man"
It is to the point where even if I am watching something I have been looking forward to, and I see your notification, I immediately go to your update. Thank you for all you do.
Canadians never tip in the States. I was always under the impression that tips weren't expected in Canada because they actually pay their wait staff more than $2.50 per hour. I think she was scamming that group.
@@cobaltsable1800 maybe it's just folks from B.C.? Grew up near the border and the Canadians were sort of notorious in restaurants I worked at. Also when I spent time in Vancouver, even people I met who lived up there often didn't tip at bars and such saying it wasn't their responsibility to pay the servers extra for doing the job they were being paid for, or some such like that.
@@islandbrowncoat To be fair, they're completely correct. The instant a tip is no longer voluntary but expected, it's no longer a tip. It's a bribe, extortion or a ransom, depending on your point of view. While I'd still tip if I were in the USA (because otherwise the server doesn't get a fair wage), I still think that it's immoral and should be illegal to expect it. Employers should pay a living wage. Period.
Story 1: Since the management office violated the contract OP should have told them that the "fine" for doing so is...wait for it...exactly $60.01. Be ungovernable. ( cheek fillers can cost you anywhere from $600-$1200 per syringe...some people need several syringes ) Story 3: "Baldy Mcbylaw Caller" Bahahahahaha!!!
I used to frequent a bar near my house. He had one bartender to was great at the job, but not always punctual. She opened the bar in the afternoons - usually just about the time I would get home from work, and closed it down when the bar closed. On Saturday, they would open about noon-ish, and she would be there for the evening shift. There was one time the owner of the bar was talking about firing her and hiring someone else. That was when his regular customers let him know that if she wasn't there, they would not be there, including me. He did the smart thing and kept her on. After all, you don't want to fire the person all the customers are coming in to see. He did try hiring some other people to try out, but none that had her level of service. Now, she wouldn't take any nonsense from anyone. Always willing to flirt, so long as you kept it polite, but troublemakers would be kicked out, sometimes for the rest of the night, and sometimes banned, depending on whether she thought it was the drink talking, or they were habitual offenders, or had committed a crime, such as stealing from other customers. There was one time, I had enough to drink to start seeing double. I said to her One J (initial of her first name) is great, and 2 J's are better, but since there are not 2 J's here, I think I better go home. She agreed that would be the wise thing to do. There was another time when the owner of the bar was bartending and one of the customers started arguing with him about being cut off. He said something like "Some friend you are!" and I approached and said "He is being your friend. He's not banning you, and he is legally responsible if you overdo. Go home and sleep it off, come back tomorrow." I don't know how I got through to him, but he did leave. I had seen him there before, and after that as he was one of the regulars. The owner thanked me for stepping in and defusing the situation. Just my little story of not shooting yourself in the foot when it comes to running a business.
Here's the thing about places that add a "mandatory " tip to the bill: you do not have to pay it if it says "tip" if service is bad, you can cross it out and put whatever you want even zero. Now, if it's listed as a "service charge " then yes, you have to pay it.
I lived in a totally crap apartment for a year. It was pure garbage. I did not have to pay a security deposit when I moved in, that kind of tells you how bad it was. When I mercifully moved out, I got a letter demanding $200 'security deposit" because I didn't clean out the tub. I actually never cleaned anything before I left, and it was still better than when I moved in. I did, however, clean the tub. So I sent them back a picture of me laughing. Never heard from them again.
I had to sue someone in small claims court once. It was for a car. I was buying a car from a couple and they made the mistake of giving me the payment book that you use to make the car payments with. The boyfriend claimed they never intended to sell me the car only to let me "rent" it. Then I pulled out the book and said "Why did you give me this then?" The judge looked at it for a second and said Pay the claimant back his money and hit the gavel. The BF face was priceless at that reveal.
When a boss says 'you can be replace' that's a 2 way street, ie the employer can be replaced. Statistically, it takes at least a year for an employee to become fully competent at a job -learning all the in's & out's, expectations, equipment intricacies, and to mesh with other employees. Training for even the simplest jobs can be expensive. Figure an employer will spend about 3 months of new employees wages as non-productive training expense plus downtime of personnel doing the training. In other words, it's a stupid threat.
A CFO of a medium sized software company once told me, they calculate it costs them about $200k to replace a developer on average. Amazing what kind of people you meet at a supercharger...
Very glad power-washing guy is not my neighbor. I lived on the 2nd floor of a house and the folks on the 1st floor and the woman in the basement were having constant TV-volume wars and being the innocent bystander in that SUCKED. This guy honestly sounds unpleasant, doesn't give a crap about all the other neighbors who DIDN'T call him in, and the mornings he's ruining.
My sister was a waitress, and was super attentive, checking on guests, asking how their meals were, keeping water/sodas full the whole nine yards, at times she would take over for someone who either went to break or their shift ended, and some snooty people tipped my sister nothing as if that her service was not up to their standards, though she went above and beyond.
Employer: "Quit if you like. Staff are replaceable." Staff: "We quit. We're not putting up with minimum wage, no benefits and over-work." Employer: "But I can't replace you! Waaah! Nobody wants to work any more!"
I used to be a waitress and tips where few and far in between but when they did come in it was always grand and just wonderful. I would never dream of complaining about how much tips I got on an average day.
What country does OP live in that an HOA representative can just take a handful of receipts and go put them in 0P’s letter box? Certainly not the United States. That’s a federal crime. Even opening someone else’s mailbox is a federal crime.
Get it in writing, save your receipts. If they're not present already, put your serial numbers on the receipts. Take pics of your receipts, and email them to yourselves. Words to live by.
Asking that question could (and I expect would) be interpreted as inciting violence, if it were mentioned in a court of law. But you'd probably need video evidence in order to show the manner in which it was said, otherwise the person could pretend that they said it anxiously rather than aggressively.
First Story: Why not ask the managers to swap assigned spaces with the neighbor, that way they would have the width of the walkway to use when they put the kids in the car? Was the landlord an old sod?
I do not understand about this 'tipping' thing in the USA and Canada. Here in Europe (in my case the UK) people get paid at least the minimum wage, so when I go into a cafe I pay the cost of the meal, eat and then leave. In a restaurant I will probably tip, but that is not expected. Waitresses are paid by their employees, which comes out of the cost of the food. The customers are not expected to pay the wages of the waitresses via tips.
It’s more expensive to have a high turn over. People have to be trained and have a chance to get up to speed and the company loses money during those times
When we move we ALWAYS do a final walkthrough with the manager before surrendering the keys. That way we get written confirmation of getting the deposit back, or we agree on if something needs to be fixed on our end (has yet to happen, as it's always normal ware from a few years of use).
Pressure wash story: I hope OP is recording his grumpy neighbor who is trespassing and responding with "gonna hit me" nonsense. He just may need the evidence that he didn't and that grumpy WAS trespassing. Should be some kind of by law enforcement for that.
Since the neighbours had called the law on her while she was being considerate by starting her work at 11am on a Sunday (which is apparently not allowed), she then decided to get her revenge by using her noisy pressure washer at the very earliest time on weekdays. That’s 7:30am instead of 11am. She’s basically doing malicious compliance by starting really early, practically guaranteeing to wake and disturb the neighbours who reported her even though she’d been considerate. So instead of waiting for the weekend or days she’s off to start at 11am so she wouldn’t disturb anyone’s sleep, she starts doing it the minute it’s legal at 7:30am several days in a row to deliberately wake them up but now they can’t complain because it’s legal. I have to admit that the neighbours were very stupid. I’m sure if they’d just come to her and been polite they could have worked something out. Instead they ratted her out. Such sweet payback. I wonder how hard it is for some people to learn that being polite, reasonable and courteous gets a much better chance of getting what you want than being an ass.
Tips: In Germany tips are between 5-10 %, I don`t know if that is because waiters/waiteresses are better paid here, or because the taxes are included from the start, or.... I don`t really know...
I got into a discussion in 1990 with a former waiter, he said that a minimum 20% tip should be given! I asked him, even if the service is bad and he said yes! I think not!
11 AM is a fine time to work on stuff the neighbors need to deal with it, I have someone who does woodworking behind me and wakes me up but they’re doing it at a decent time
First story reminded me of this. A couple years ago my family and a family friend and her kids went to say the Nutcracker dance and some asshole took like 5 almost 6 parking spots!
Restaurant story: I would have mentioned this to a manager or supervisor, especially since there was already an 18% gratuity added t the bill. What she was doing was soliciting tips. (I don't mean go crazy Karen just a simple few words to management)
Security deposits became such a scam in Ontario that the landlords are no longer allowed to ask for them. All they can ask for is first and last months rent to make sure renters do not skip out without notice. With respect to the power equipment once again you have entitled people on both sides.
In Texas it's almost a given that you lose your security deposit, ALL, of your deposit no matter if you left it better than you found it. Also, chaching, if something breaks (like a window or something) the landlord considers they've hit the jackpot. Rather than just deduct the expense of the repairs, they take the whole security deposit.
As a Canadian expat, when I grew up tipping was something you only did when service was really good, because servers are paid at least minimum wage by law and aren't expected to get their basic pay with tips. Now depending on the province minimum wage might really suck and not be a living wage, so tips become more important, but theoretically it's not like in the USA where servers can legally get paid less than minimum wage because tips.
As an american….. servers are paid a base lower than minimum, yes. Though by law, if the amount in tips doesnt meet the minimum wage, the establishment pays the difference. And working as one of the higher paid kitchen staff…. A good server made BANK above us. (Your basis is incorrect)
@@touchedouche8806 dude, I don't understand your reason for comment. I'm just saying that in Canada servers aren't required to bend over backwards for a-holes in hopes that they might actually tip so that they can survive. Do some actually do well on tips in the US? Sure, but I guarantee it's inconsistent and there are just as many, if not more that are going hungry because of jerks. In Canada, we do tip for good service, but it's a bonus on a proper wage, not meant to make up for subpar wage. And I've heard of so many stories where employers who don't make up for no tips, because young people don't know better.
@@touchedouche8806 how? I was speaking to the tip culture in Canada, and how we only tip for good service because servers already make at least minimum wage (unlike in the US). There isn't the expectation in Canada to tip a specific percentage. The story about it was where a server was taking advantage of people who didn't know better. Also, based on the many horror stories I've read on reddit from US servers, about how they were abused not just by customers, but also financially by employers, my assessment seems accurate. Tips are meant to make up for shit pay in the US.
@@SassyGirl822006 you stated in your original comment "not like in the USA where servers can legally get paid less than minimum wage because tips." "Legally" is incorrect. I dont care about your anecdotal evidence of people cheating people. The LAW in the US is as i stated in my original comment. Your premise is flawed.
I would have mentioned something about the tipping if I knew he was unfamiliar with the practice, just for the sake of him eating at other restaurants. Looking out for my fellow servers, but she definitely took it into rude territory.
Said this on a different video, if wait staff/delivery people ask for a tip or bigger tip, they go without one. You earn the tip don't ask for it, it's like asking your boss for your payslip instead of working for it
I mean, the server isn’t wrong about the tip amount, but she didn’t have to be a shit about it. Times have changed-20% is the standard. I’ll leave 30+% if the service is great. That said, being bad at your job and shitty on top of it, she should be happy with what she gets
That story about tipping reminds me of this choosing beggar thing that keeps popping up. It says “anything I give you beyond this bill is the tip.” Even places that automatically add gratuity, you can usually change it or refuse. They can’t force you to pay anything beyond services rendered, and asking for more gratuity is both nonsensical and entitled.
When it comes to tipping... if I had customers who came in multiple times a week I didn't mind if they tipped less bc they were regulars and by the end of the week I made more from that one table then I made from a single table who tipped 20%
I'm from a non tipping country. I do tip when things are exceptional. But this notion that you are responsible for paying someone else's staff is baffling. Mind you. We have a fairly sensible legal minimum wage here so it's less necessary.
I've always tipped 20% and sometimes a bit more if the server was attentive or if they seemed like they were having a hard day and usually about 15% tip for take out orders. Is 30% now the standard and nobody told me?!? Also, what are you supposed to tip for take out orders?!? This makes me question if I'm tipping enough when I go out or was that server just demanding? If I can't afford to tip 20% I don't go out but am I tipping too low and everyone is just too polite to tell me?
In my state, 15% is the official standard but my family and I usually tip 20%. I have never personally heard of a 30% tip being anywhere near standard, at least on my side of the country… I think that server was just demanding because it was a larger group of people from a non-tipping country that she thought she could intimidate. I should note that I’m not from Canada, but I don’t think it’s too much different up there
@@MercuryCat Thank you, Im in Michigan and I wasn't sure if maybe times have changed and I don't want to be the cheap tipper. I haven't worked in a restaurant since I was a teenager but I remember how hard it was and how little I was paid so I always tried to make it a point not to be cheap but I can't afford to be a really big tipper either. So I do my best. What do people usually tip for carry out orders in your state? I use to only do like a dollar or 2 until covid hit and then started tipping 20% when restaurants were only doing take out orders and then after they opened back up I settled on 15%.
I have come to see 20% as the minimum for acceptable restaurant service, but I think the etiquette is 15-20% depending on who you ask. I honestly don't think it's demanding to mention that 20% is pretty standard, but 30% is possibly being greedy. It sounds like they continued to sit in her section and didn't voice any complaints - I would probably assume they felt my service was acceptable in her shoes, to be fair. I'm not sure for takeout orders; I usually use the default tip in the app and never paid much attention to what the percentage was.
Yes, there was actually a study done on that. Researchers developed a board game they presented to kids in U.S. & Mexico. Each of 2 players had a piece on the board, and 4 moves to get it to the edge. If you won, you got 2 toys. If you both tied, you each got 1 toy. The U.S. kids were greedy, and nobody got to the edge in 4 moves & got a toy. The Mexican kids worked together, each getting a toy; and, marveling at how stupidly easy this game was!
I'm a notorious over tipper to the point where I had to stop eating out with some people because they would take advantage of my relative generosity, to stiff the server. However, if a server gave me a line like that, their tip is $0.05.
Tipping Story: i hate when people say " Don't go out if you can afford it"... I can afford to pay for what i ordered. NOT ro make sure you can pay a bill or put gas in ur car. Should we tip for good service, YES, but that is not always the case. And demanding a tip when your job has barely been done is just 🤯
I remember growing up, tipping was seen as mandatory only for good service. Do you job, get paid. You want tips? Earn them by being a good member of the waitstaff. Don't slack off, complain, drag your feet getting my ketchup, then complain that I didn't tip good. Oh, my tips pay your rent? Then act like it. Do your dang job. Now it's basically mandatory that you tip no matter how poor of a job they do, or how little you actually require of them. But I've always seen tipping as silent consent for the employer to underpay their employees. But there's also a system for tipping. Table is meant for waitstaff, plate is meant for cook, cup is meant for whoever busses the table when you leave. In theory. I've only ever seen a couple of waitstaff follow that.
When I worked retail, I was the hardest worker, best sales associate (I was the only one with regular customers. They only wanted me because everyone else acted like they didn’t want to help them) and the most knowledgeable. When I left, I heard that they were scrambling because almost none of my coworkers (except 1, and she’s the first to admit that she should’ve paid more attention than what she did) had paid attention to what I knew and did. I still am hearing that, 3 years later, a manager asks my 1 coworker that had learned something from me about something and she tells him that there’s 1 person that would’ve known the answer. She said that he always looks like he’s about to cry because he knows the answer. Well, they should’ve treated me better than they did. I was treated like crud while the lazy ones were treated with the utmost respect.
30%? For rubbish service? Oh boy did she burn her bridges fast!! Loved the power washer story! Brilliant!
Had a landlord once try to not give our deposit back. She said that she had to send someone to clean the mess we left which was BS. I spent a whole week cleaning both the new place and the old place that we were renting from her. Needless to say, she gave me my deposit back when I told her that I had pictures of what that place looked like when we 1st moved in and I would not hesitate to take them to the magistrates office. She even tried to take credit for any upgrades that we made to the house until I told her I still had receipts for when WE purchased them. After that, we found our forever home and left and never looked back. THANK YOU for all you do on this channel. Me and my 10yr old are thoroughly addicted!😂

Same with customers

I live in Canada and work at a restaurant. 15-20% is the usual expected amount, 10% being an okay tip. 30% is pretty fucking insane

In Canada we don't have a server's wage so a tip is a bonus minimum wage in Canada is $15 an hour and a waitress working in a high-end restaurant would be making probably $18 an hour minimum.
@@arcticcanoe I live in British Columbia, I am aware
Honestly, no one tips 30% unless you're hosting a very large get together (e.g. wedding rehearsal dinner) or are feeling overly generous and want to do a good deed for the day. 18% auto gratuity is pretty much the norm these days for parties, although some servers get their panties in a bunch if you tip less than 20%, so you can add anywhere from 2 to 5% on top of the auto.
I have done 30%+ tips on a few occasions for those that go above and beyond what is normally expected.
As an ex chef/server/waitress... i was lucky to get a job that paid hourly (i always did $1 over minimum wage so like $12/hour at the time is what I made) plus tips. I never cared about tips tbh as I was making like $1000 every 2 weeks. Tips were my fun money as I was the server that went above and beyond and always took home $300 + a week in tips. I miss those days ... not the karens and customer service but definitely those days of $2000 plus the $1200 or more in tips... i wish i saved more and invested but i was an idiot
And if they had great service if they basically said “go get your own drinks from the back” service maybe a 10%
In my experience any waitress that says they need to be tipped more usually doesn't.
@@MichaelS537 and you're the reason why they don't make minimum wage. Thanks
The "You can be replaced" boss reminds me of a lady I worked with. She worked for a Doctor for years until he decided to fire her and hire a younger woman at a much lower pay rate. She came to work at our store just to make some money until she figured out what to do next. About a month later she lets us know she's leaving. Turns out the Doctor called her and BEGGED for her to come back. The new lady had screwed everything up (lost patient files, sent the wrong info to insurance companies, etc) and he wanted her back. She went back..... after he gave her a raise and assurance that she'd still get the same hours as before. He said yes.
Bosses tend to either forget or ignore the two-word phrase: "False Economy."
aka "you get what you pay for" aka "if you pay peanuts, you get monkeys."
Malicious compliance be like:
"You dare use my own spell against me potter"
Not really, that implies it not working
"Or what are you going to hit me?"
I could hit you... with a police call for trespassing.
Especially after being told to leave the property.
Or with a charge for inciting violence. That's what that question is. Easier to sustain that argument if it's caught on camera, though.
I worked as a waitress almost my entire life and it is never crossed my mind to tell a customer how much leaving a tip or not that’s just just
I did once, and it was the day I decided to go back to the Army. this was c~2006 and a table of 20 came, this was midday on a Sunday, they total ticket was somewhere in the vicinity of $1200. Ok, I thought, I will be working hard but it will be worth it... the entire time I had to wait on them hand and food, break everything down big bird/barny style, ran over to them at their every beck and call, they were so needy it took attention off my other tables, but hey this tip will be the difference between deciding groceries and rent or getting both on the same paycheck. when the dust settled I got a tip of "John 3:16, Jesus saves, even Jew's like you".
I tore off my smock, walked out, confronted them, letting them know that them doing that costs me money (our system deducted "'expected tip" (%10)) from our check and that now I could not get food or rent in and they can take the tip, roll it up and shove it up their self righteous, sanctimonious, and smug asses. They, like all Karens ever went to talk to the manager, when I got the call I knew was coming I had the Army career counselor answer the phone letting my manager know I was going to MEPS in the AM and to take it as if I had quit. Going back to war as a combat arms MOS was less stressful than dealing with church folk. I will also say bless the civil service relief act, I was able to break lease without any issues, and I now work in a very good, well paying job making ends meet very easily.
"cringey" is, I think, the word you were looking for.
I'm so glad that my country doesn't have "tipping." Instead, our employers pay a living wage. Guess what? The staff still generally do a great job. It's almost as though if you pay someone what they're worth, they'll give you their worth in return.
It’s always funny because a lot of these fall under “ play stupid games, win stupid prizes”
That second story really got my goat. What's customary is you tip what you want, when you want and no waiter/ waitress is intitled to a tip. Now I say this as a person whose mother was a waitress my whole life and she would agree with me 100%. Tips are earned.
But in the U.S. tips are 'expected.' That's why servers only get paid $2.35/hr.
“Sorry hun, if you can’t afford to be eating out, then you shouldn’t be doing so!”
Sorry hun, if you’re so well off, why are you asking people to tip more?
Story 1. Great landlord gettin’ it story!
Story 2. Baldy McBylaw goading OP into a fist fight!! LOL!
I don't eat out often, but I d have a favorite place that is family run. Dad takes all tips off table and daughters never see it. ( small town, everyone knows) Patrons , me included, have made a game out of slipping tips dirrectly into daughters hands without dad seeing. Bet he thinks we are a bunch of cheap sobs. Lol
Here lately I have been giving tips directly to servers ( and giving it to my grandkids to give to the servers so they learn to do that as well) because if you leave it on the table other people come along and steal it before the server sees it. When paying by card I don't tip on the card, I give the server cash and tell the person at the register I already tipped. I do that so the boss can't steal the tip meant for the server.
@@SenryLHKiser I tip in cash so they aren't boned by "shared" tipping
My friends and I do that, too.
I don't understand the American tipping culture at all, it's just screwed up all round...do you tip at McDonald's?? Or at foodtrucks too?? It's just confusing...and don't even get me started on how weird the seperate sales tax thingie is- is that included in the tip??!
@@twiceshy9773 Its a made up BS system so restaurants don't even have to pay their employees minimum wage.
In the power-washing story, I can imagine that the officer knew _exactly_ what OP was planning.
After the Entitled Waitress complained about the Tips and stated the minimum acceptable tips were 20%, I'd have gone into the Restaurant the next day and calmly spoken to the Manager and mentioned her typical level of Service was unacceptable (and listed how and why it was unacceptable) and what she told me and that because of her Entitlement and poor Service, I and my 12-18 friends would not be returning to the Restaurant...
To the whining old geezer: "Well, you'd better step off my property before I find something else to pressure wash."
I know. One time I went to the self car wash. A lady was parked in front of the open bay, I guess waiting for her son to come wash her car. So I drove around the other side & started using the bay. 3 min. tops. She starts giving me shit about it, with the wand in my hand. So tempting...
Had to laugh out loud when you said "Oh Joy!". Sister Mary Martin, who I used to work with and loved so much used to say that a lot. We always knew it was her way of saying something else and was so endearing.
I recall something my Father told me once about when he went in person to the council offices in order to pay the bi-annual rates, (something he purposely did in person to avoid any kind of shenanigans), and on this occasion the amount came to 5 pence short of a full pound, (i.e. xxx.95p), which he paid to the nearest pound. Having handed the money over, he waited for the 5 pence change to be proffered, to which the cashier rudely stated that it was, 'only 5 pence.' My father immediately retorted that if the amount owed was xxx.05p, and he only paid to the nearest pound, would they accept the same statement of, 'it's only 5 pence', from him? They begrudgingly gave the 5p, and instead of pocketing it, he threw it back and told them to stick it in a charity box.
Wow what an asshole. I’m glad it’s never happened to me. Lol, before I moved area and changed doctor surgeries I used to buy an over the counter medication pretty regularly. The change was always 2 to 6 pence and each time I’d ask them to put it in the charity pot.
Eventually all the staff knew me and instead of giving me the paltry change they’d pause over the charity pot with a questioning look at me. I’d smile and nod and in went the change.
But no matter how many times I went there, they all sought my consent before dropping the change into the charity pot.
I once went to the court building to pay a speeding ticket (U.S.). I totally deserved it, was driving like an a-hole; and, am now a much safer driver. Because I was wearing a KISS shirt, the clerk assumed I was there to fight the ticket. Anyway, while paying, she has me show proof of insurance, stating the fine was much higher without it. I show it. After paying, I ask how much would it have been without it? She calculates & tells me. Less than I was paying for insurance! Anyway, you're an idiot to drive without insurance. That's why they made it a law!
30% tipping?! Ugh, I'd be finding a new restaurant.
16:36 "all my employees are expendables" reminds of that one seen from "Big fish"
"There comes a time when a reasonable man will swallow his pride and, admit that he's made a terrible mistake. The truth is, I was never a reasonable man"
It is to the point where even if I am watching something I have been looking forward to, and I see your notification, I immediately go to your update. Thank you for all you do.
I actually did that just now😄
Always! This is a comment many of us can relate to.

I think there’s a fluff addiction
Canadians never tip in the States. I was always under the impression that tips weren't expected in Canada because they actually pay their wait staff more than $2.50 per hour. I think she was scamming that group.
???? I Iive in Canada. I always tip at it down restaurants and vary tips based on service. Heck, I was taught to tip the person bagging my groceries
@@cobaltsable1800 maybe it's just folks from B.C.? Grew up near the border and the Canadians were sort of notorious in restaurants I worked at. Also when I spent time in Vancouver, even people I met who lived up there often didn't tip at bars and such saying it wasn't their responsibility to pay the servers extra for doing the job they were being paid for, or some such like that.
@@islandbrowncoat Never been to Vancouver, or BC as a whole. Maybe eastern Canada is just different.
@@islandbrowncoat To be fair, they're completely correct. The instant a tip is no longer voluntary but expected, it's no longer a tip. It's a bribe, extortion or a ransom, depending on your point of view.
While I'd still tip if I were in the USA (because otherwise the server doesn't get a fair wage), I still think that it's immoral and should be illegal to expect it. Employers should pay a living wage. Period.
Story 1: Since the management office violated the contract OP should have told them that the "fine" for doing so is...wait for it...exactly $60.01. Be ungovernable.
( cheek fillers can cost you anywhere from $600-$1200 per syringe...some people need several syringes )
Story 3: "Baldy Mcbylaw Caller" Bahahahahaha!!!
I used to frequent a bar near my house. He had one bartender to was great at the job, but not always punctual. She opened the bar in the afternoons - usually just about the time I would get home from work, and closed it down when the bar closed. On Saturday, they would open about noon-ish, and she would be there for the evening shift. There was one time the owner of the bar was talking about firing her and hiring someone else. That was when his regular customers let him know that if she wasn't there, they would not be there, including me. He did the smart thing and kept her on. After all, you don't want to fire the person all the customers are coming in to see. He did try hiring some other people to try out, but none that had her level of service. Now, she wouldn't take any nonsense from anyone. Always willing to flirt, so long as you kept it polite, but troublemakers would be kicked out, sometimes for the rest of the night, and sometimes banned, depending on whether she thought it was the drink talking, or they were habitual offenders, or had committed a crime, such as stealing from other customers.
There was one time, I had enough to drink to start seeing double. I said to her One J (initial of her first name) is great, and 2 J's are better, but since there are not 2 J's here, I think I better go home. She agreed that would be the wise thing to do.
There was another time when the owner of the bar was bartending and one of the customers started arguing with him about being cut off. He said something like "Some friend you are!" and I approached and said "He is being your friend. He's not banning you, and he is legally responsible if you overdo. Go home and sleep it off, come back tomorrow." I don't know how I got through to him, but he did leave. I had seen him there before, and after that as he was one of the regulars. The owner thanked me for stepping in and defusing the situation.
Just my little story of not shooting yourself in the foot when it comes to running a business.
Here's the thing about places that add a "mandatory " tip to the bill: you do not have to pay it if it says "tip" if service is bad, you can cross it out and put whatever you want even zero.
Now, if it's listed as a "service charge " then yes, you have to pay it.
I lived in a totally crap apartment for a year. It was pure garbage. I did not have to pay a security deposit when I moved in, that kind of tells you how bad it was. When I mercifully moved out, I got a letter demanding $200 'security deposit" because I didn't clean out the tub. I actually never cleaned anything before I left, and it was still better than when I moved in. I did, however, clean the tub. So I sent them back a picture of me laughing. Never heard from them again.
I had to sue someone in small claims court once. It was for a car. I was buying a car from a couple and they made the mistake of giving me the payment book that you use to make the car payments with. The boyfriend claimed they never intended to sell me the car only to let me "rent" it. Then I pulled out the book and said "Why did you give me this then?" The judge looked at it for a second and said Pay the claimant back his money and hit the gavel. The BF face was priceless at that reveal.
When a boss says 'you can be replace' that's a 2 way street, ie the employer can be replaced. Statistically, it takes at least a year for an employee to become fully competent at a job -learning all the in's & out's, expectations, equipment intricacies, and to mesh with other employees. Training for even the simplest jobs can be expensive. Figure an employer will spend about 3 months of new employees wages as non-productive training expense plus downtime of personnel doing the training. In other words, it's a stupid threat.
sadly it works a lot, though
not to mention the expenses involved in advertising and interviewing for a role
A CFO of a medium sized software company once told me, they calculate it costs them about $200k to replace a developer on average.
Amazing what kind of people you meet at a supercharger...
@@realulli damn lol, amazing indeed

But what if I complain that I'm working on Sunday?
7:14 don't bite the hand that feeds you, or in this case don't demand more money from people who already tip you, like some hypocritical pastor
My sister was a waitress, and was super attentive, checking on guests, asking how their meals were, keeping water/sodas full the whole nine yards, at times she would take over for someone who either went to break or their shift ended, and some snooty people tipped my sister nothing as if that her service was not up to their standards, though she went above and beyond.
Employer: "Quit if you like. Staff are replaceable."
Staff: "We quit. We're not putting up with minimum wage, no benefits and over-work."
Employer: "But I can't replace you! Waaah! Nobody wants to work any more!"
I used to be a waitress and tips where few and far in between but when they did come in it was always grand and just wonderful. I would never dream of complaining about how much tips I got on an average day.
What country does OP live in that an HOA representative can just take a handful of receipts and go put them in 0P’s letter box?
Certainly not the United States. That’s a federal crime. Even opening someone else’s mailbox is a federal crime.
Yep! The legally would have to put a stamp on it and mail it.
Get it in writing, save your receipts. If they're not present already, put your serial numbers on the receipts. Take pics of your receipts, and email them to yourselves. Words to live by.
It's about time employers realize their employees are the reason their businesses remain open or not.
Old guy: you're going hit me?
OP: your move, molasses
Asking that question could (and I expect would) be interpreted as inciting violence, if it were mentioned in a court of law. But you'd probably need video evidence in order to show the manner in which it was said, otherwise the person could pretend that they said it anxiously rather than aggressively.
Story 2: What?! NO! 15% is the minimum gratuity, 20% for exceptional service. At least within the US. That's what I've always been taught.
First Story: Why not ask the managers to swap assigned spaces with the neighbor, that way they would have the width of the walkway to use when they put the kids in the car? Was the landlord an old sod?
I do not understand about this 'tipping' thing in the USA and Canada. Here in Europe (in my case the UK) people get paid at least the minimum wage, so when I go into a cafe I pay the cost of the meal, eat and then leave. In a restaurant I will probably tip, but that is not expected. Waitresses are paid by their employees, which comes out of the cost of the food. The customers are not expected to pay the wages of the waitresses via tips.
It’s more expensive to have a high turn over. People have to be trained and have a chance to get up to speed and the company loses money during those times
For the first story OP should’ve said as the walked out: “If you don’t sign, the payment I shall decline!”
When we move we ALWAYS do a final walkthrough with the manager before surrendering the keys. That way we get written confirmation of getting the deposit back, or we agree on if something needs to be fixed on our end (has yet to happen, as it's always normal ware from a few years of use).
Pressure wash story: I hope OP is recording his grumpy neighbor who is trespassing and responding with "gonna hit me" nonsense. He just may need the evidence that he didn't and that grumpy WAS trespassing. Should be some kind of by law enforcement for that.
Scratch the by- there. No bylaws needed, throwing after being told is a crime so it's the police's job to deal with it.
What happened with the pressure washing no ending
Since the neighbours had called the law on her while she was being considerate by starting her work at 11am on a Sunday (which is apparently not allowed), she then decided to get her revenge by using her noisy pressure washer at the very earliest time on weekdays.
That’s 7:30am instead of 11am. She’s basically doing malicious compliance by starting really early, practically guaranteeing to wake and disturb the neighbours who reported her even though she’d been considerate.
So instead of waiting for the weekend or days she’s off to start at 11am so she wouldn’t disturb anyone’s sleep, she starts doing it the minute it’s legal at 7:30am several days in a row to deliberately wake them up but now they can’t complain because it’s legal.
I have to admit that the neighbours were very stupid. I’m sure if they’d just come to her and been polite they could have worked something out. Instead they ratted her out.
Such sweet payback. I wonder how hard it is for some people to learn that being polite, reasonable and courteous gets a much better chance of getting what you want than being an ass.
You know what a court would call an aggressive "you gonna hit me" question? Incitement to violence. Yes, it's illegal.
Tips:
In Germany tips are between 5-10 %, I don`t know if that is because waiters/waiteresses are better paid here, or because the taxes are included from the start, or....
I don`t really know...
The restaurant tip story: Here's your solution, you go in groups of 5 or fewer and tip a nice fat 0% if she wants to be like that.
"what are you going to do hit me?"
*Raises pressure washer waist level and sprays his crotch*
very loudly "Oh no you pee'd yourself!"
Look everybody Billy peed his pants
I got into a discussion in 1990 with a former waiter, he said that a minimum 20% tip should be given! I asked him, even if the service is bad and he said yes! I think not!
Wow Steveo for the win on the third story! Good save!
Proof that Stevo is alive and well! Well, alive anyway. Good catch, Stevo!
I would just turn the pressure washer on Baldy McBylaw when he asks "or what".
Story 4 is the essence of malicious compliance
11 AM is a fine time to work on stuff the neighbors need to deal with it, I have someone who does woodworking behind me and wakes me up but they’re doing it at a decent time
First story reminded me of this. A couple years ago my family and a family friend and her kids went to say the Nutcracker dance and some asshole took like 5 almost 6 parking spots!
Also, when you give someone stupid instructions, like parking wherever they want, DON'T GIVE SAID INSTRUCTIONS IN WRITING.
Restaurant story: I would have mentioned this to a manager or supervisor, especially since there was already an 18% gratuity added t the bill. What she was doing was soliciting tips. (I don't mean go crazy Karen just a simple few words to management)
Another standing ovation DARK FLUFF. Thanks for the upbeat morning!
Security deposits became such a scam in Ontario that the landlords are no longer allowed to ask for them. All they can ask for is first and last months rent to make sure renters do not skip out without notice. With respect to the power equipment once again you have entitled people on both sides.
More than 20 percent tip means the service was 5 star and you could afford it.
In Texas it's almost a given that you lose your security deposit, ALL, of your deposit no matter if you left it better than you found it. Also, chaching, if something breaks (like a window or something) the landlord considers they've hit the jackpot. Rather than just deduct the expense of the repairs, they take the whole security deposit.
Thank you so much, DarkFluff, for these stories. I need them in my life!
Love listening to darkfluff, maliciouscompliance is my favorite
As a Canadian expat, when I grew up tipping was something you only did when service was really good, because servers are paid at least minimum wage by law and aren't expected to get their basic pay with tips. Now depending on the province minimum wage might really suck and not be a living wage, so tips become more important, but theoretically it's not like in the USA where servers can legally get paid less than minimum wage because tips.
As an american….. servers are paid a base lower than minimum, yes. Though by law, if the amount in tips doesnt meet the minimum wage, the establishment pays the difference. And working as one of the higher paid kitchen staff…. A good server made BANK above us. (Your basis is incorrect)
@@touchedouche8806 dude, I don't understand your reason for comment. I'm just saying that in Canada servers aren't required to bend over backwards for a-holes in hopes that they might actually tip so that they can survive. Do some actually do well on tips in the US? Sure, but I guarantee it's inconsistent and there are just as many, if not more that are going hungry because of jerks. In Canada, we do tip for good service, but it's a bonus on a proper wage, not meant to make up for subpar wage. And I've heard of so many stories where employers who don't make up for no tips, because young people don't know better.
@@SassyGirl822006 you dont understand. I thought i explained it. Your premise was wrong.
@@touchedouche8806 how? I was speaking to the tip culture in Canada, and how we only tip for good service because servers already make at least minimum wage (unlike in the US). There isn't the expectation in Canada to tip a specific percentage. The story about it was where a server was taking advantage of people who didn't know better.
Also, based on the many horror stories I've read on reddit from US servers, about how they were abused not just by customers, but also financially by employers, my assessment seems accurate. Tips are meant to make up for shit pay in the US.
@@SassyGirl822006 you stated in your original comment "not like in the USA where servers can legally get paid less than minimum wage because tips." "Legally" is incorrect. I dont care about your anecdotal evidence of people cheating people. The LAW in the US is as i stated in my original comment. Your premise is flawed.
I would have mentioned something about the tipping if I knew he was unfamiliar with the practice, just for the sake of him eating at other restaurants. Looking out for my fellow servers, but she definitely took it into rude territory.
Hello all. Thanks for the stories
Said this on a different video, if wait staff/delivery people ask for a tip or bigger tip, they go without one.
You earn the tip don't ask for it, it's like asking your boss for your payslip instead of working for it
The second story’s ending was priceless ❤️🤣
Thank you i really needed to be reminded that i have a friend today
You have us here at Fluffy. Hope all smoothes out a bit for you.
💛💛💛💛💛💛
Sending hugs 🥰
I mean, the server isn’t wrong about the tip amount, but she didn’t have to be a shit about it. Times have changed-20% is the standard. I’ll leave 30+% if the service is great.
That said, being bad at your job and shitty on top of it, she should be happy with what she gets
That story about tipping reminds me of this choosing beggar thing that keeps popping up. It says “anything I give you beyond this bill is the tip.” Even places that automatically add gratuity, you can usually change it or refuse. They can’t force you to pay anything beyond services rendered, and asking for more gratuity is both nonsensical and entitled.
When it comes to tipping... if I had customers who came in multiple times a week I didn't mind if they tipped less bc they were regulars and by the end of the week I made more from that one table then I made from a single table who tipped 20%
A lot of malicious compliance stories are always about loud neighbours, this time OP is the neighbour!
Ah, yes. The caffeine is strong with this one today.
Yey thanks for the happy birthday!!!!
"I am so excited, I literally drank so much coffee" -DF
DangerouslyFunny: Is this one of my people?
I'm from a non tipping country. I do tip when things are exceptional. But this notion that you are responsible for paying someone else's staff is baffling.
Mind you. We have a fairly sensible legal minimum wage here so it's less necessary.
I've always tipped 20% and sometimes a bit more if the server was attentive or if they seemed like they were having a hard day and usually about 15% tip for take out orders. Is 30% now the standard and nobody told me?!? Also, what are you supposed to tip for take out orders?!? This makes me question if I'm tipping enough when I go out or was that server just demanding?
If I can't afford to tip 20% I don't go out but am I tipping too low and everyone is just too polite to tell me?
In my state, 15% is the official standard but my family and I usually tip 20%. I have never personally heard of a 30% tip being anywhere near standard, at least on my side of the country… I think that server was just demanding because it was a larger group of people from a non-tipping country that she thought she could intimidate. I should note that I’m not from Canada, but I don’t think it’s too much different up there
@@MercuryCat Thank you, Im in Michigan and I wasn't sure if maybe times have changed and I don't want to be the cheap tipper. I haven't worked in a restaurant since I was a teenager but I remember how hard it was and how little I was paid so I always tried to make it a point not to be cheap but I can't afford to be a really big tipper either. So I do my best.
What do people usually tip for carry out orders in your state? I use to only do like a dollar or 2 until covid hit and then started tipping 20% when restaurants were only doing take out orders and then after they opened back up I settled on 15%.
Yeah, living wages is alot better than tipping culture.
I have come to see 20% as the minimum for acceptable restaurant service, but I think the etiquette is 15-20% depending on who you ask. I honestly don't think it's demanding to mention that 20% is pretty standard, but 30% is possibly being greedy. It sounds like they continued to sit in her section and didn't voice any complaints - I would probably assume they felt my service was acceptable in her shoes, to be fair. I'm not sure for takeout orders; I usually use the default tip in the app and never paid much attention to what the percentage was.
@@TheOfficialTarynTots not sure what the takeout tip standard is since I'm not usually the one ordering it lol sorry

He who wants everything will lose everything... serves that waitress right.
Yes, there was actually a study done on that. Researchers developed a board game they presented to kids in U.S. & Mexico. Each of 2 players had a piece on the board, and 4 moves to get it to the edge. If you won, you got 2 toys. If you both tied, you each got 1 toy. The U.S. kids were greedy, and nobody got to the edge in 4 moves & got a toy. The Mexican kids worked together, each getting a toy; and, marveling at how stupidly easy this game was!
5:30 - just remember the origin of the word 'tip' - "To Insure Promptness" - looks like she wasn't deserving of one.
Yes. She the grunt a new lawn on you? LOL 😂 Nope! Good on you guys.
I'm a notorious over tipper to the point where I had to stop eating out with some people because they would take advantage of my relative generosity, to stiff the server. However, if a server gave me a line like that, their tip is $0.05.
The last top story that I heard about the same story is it was $50 instead of $60
Tipping Story: i hate when people say " Don't go out if you can afford it"... I can afford to pay for what i ordered. NOT ro make sure you can pay a bill or put gas in ur car. Should we tip for good service, YES, but that is not always the case. And demanding a tip when your job has barely been done is just 🤯
I would be interested to know the exact wording of the "parking outside of designated spot" like... literally EVERYTHING is outside your spot..
Damn...... notification came up and I went to hit it and then the wadda-call-it came down. Soon realized it was Dark Fluff.
I remember growing up, tipping was seen as mandatory only for good service. Do you job, get paid. You want tips? Earn them by being a good member of the waitstaff. Don't slack off, complain, drag your feet getting my ketchup, then complain that I didn't tip good. Oh, my tips pay your rent? Then act like it. Do your dang job.
Now it's basically mandatory that you tip no matter how poor of a job they do, or how little you actually require of them. But I've always seen tipping as silent consent for the employer to underpay their employees.
But there's also a system for tipping. Table is meant for waitstaff, plate is meant for cook, cup is meant for whoever busses the table when you leave. In theory. I've only ever seen a couple of waitstaff follow that.
In the US, tipping is how waiters and waitresses survive since they make below minimum wage.
When I worked retail, I was the hardest worker, best sales associate (I was the only one with regular customers. They only wanted me because everyone else acted like they didn’t want to help them) and the most knowledgeable. When I left, I heard that they were scrambling because almost none of my coworkers (except 1, and she’s the first to admit that she should’ve paid more attention than what she did) had paid attention to what I knew and did. I still am hearing that, 3 years later, a manager asks my 1 coworker that had learned something from me about something and she tells him that there’s 1 person that would’ve known the answer. She said that he always looks like he’s about to cry because he knows the answer. Well, they should’ve treated me better than they did. I was treated like crud while the lazy ones were treated with the utmost respect.
