r/Maliciouscompliance Yell At Fast Food Workers? You'll Regret It!

welcome to our slash malicious compliance where you have to be careful what you wish for our next reddit post is from wraith i was a shy quiet 15 year old when i first started working at a certain fast food restaurant in my small town then i encountered the general public many of the morning rush customers were super kind regulars who i got to know and liked but then there was penny guy penny guy was not a regular he placed his order with no initial sign of anything out of the ordinary his change came to 29 cents no pennies he said gruffly you don't want your penny sir i confirmed this wasn't unusual we had a charity donation box right by the cash register where customers often left unwanted change or had us deposit it don't give me any damn pennies the guy was glowing at me now of course sir i handed him his quarter i dropped the pennies in the charity box and then he exploded what the f is this effing quarter i want 30 cents how effing hard is it to round the hell up i was caught off guard i'm sorry sir but i can't give back extra change we donate what customers don't want and it all goes to charity i apologize for the confusion my drawer had to be correct at the end of the day so this was absolutely true well that was not alright he went on a very loud tirade about how cheap our restaurant was and how ridiculous it was to round down he called me a cheap b-word then he demanded his pennies back you won't rip me off like this give me my 29 effing cents at this point i could have given him a nickel from the drawer and replaced it from my own pocket if he had spoken to me like i was a person and not a corporate punching bag i would gladly have done so but that's not what he was asking me to do i put on my sweetest smile only the store manager has the keys to the donation box give me just a minute and i'll go get her at this point one of the regulars behind penny guy speaks up don't make her do that here's your pennies he offers penny guys some pennies from his own pockets penny guy's face flushes and he mumbled about it being the principal of the thing my co-worker was managing the line so i decided that this man was going to get his pennies it took a minute to explain what was happening to the manager she laughed and said she'd be there in a second it took her a suspiciously long minute to retrieve the key and get to the front meanwhile penny guy mumbled and glowered and for some reason stuck around for those four pennies it was principal apparently and it meant he waited a good 10 minutes while his to-go bag cooled on a counter every now and then when a new customer came to the till i'd look over at penny guy and assure him don't worry sir the manager will be here shortly to return your four pennies from the donation box this earned him a few looks while he waited when my manager finally came to the front we opened the donation box while the busy store watched we counted out four pennies and handed them back over to the now very red-faced and much quieter man i'm so sorry for the confusion i told him here's the rest of your change he took the pennies and left still mumbling about what a rip-off the whole thing was on the brighter side a larger than normal percentage of customers decided to donate their change to the charity after watching his tirade i took some pleasure in the thought that even at minimum wage my time was worth more than 24 cents an hour down in the comments i'm going to read this post from ccpoc when he tried to round it up you should have said i'm sorry sir but you're not making any sense our next reddit post is from shagriel the cinema i worked at had a rule that prohibited outside food and drinks in the theater this was to boost sales of the food and drinks sold in the cinema we the workers would usually let people in any way if they bought snacks and whatnot as the snacks and drinks inside were ridiculously priced and the manager was cool as well the only time this rule was actually strictly enforced was when the general manager made his rounds fortnightly in this case there was a storeroom where we would keep the customer stuff and give it back when they left this one time a guy around his late teens comes in with his kid brother and a two liter bottle of coke in his hand the general manager was unfortunately there that day and was staring right at me so i had to ask the guys to leave it behind they said okay cue malicious compliance the rules stated that outside food and drinks couldn't be taken into the theater where the movie played but it didn't say anything about the facility itself the dude comes out with his brother in 15 minutes and asks for the drink i take it out they each take a sip i give it back and they go back inside they did this every 10 to 15 minutes and disturbed the other patrons and interrupted my work i was happy to comply and after they did this about four to five times the gm told me to just give him the bottle when they came out next and i did honestly one of my favorite moments from working there our next reddit post is from a string of numbers as a designer i try to educate my clients on design and why something has to be done a certain way my agency is not cheap so we make it quite clear that they're paying for our knowledge and experience not some photoshop monkey most of the time my clients are appreciative and enjoy the extra guidance and professional advice occasionally we get fun jobs the sales pitch went well enough and the business owner bob seemed like a decent guy and happy to trust our professional expertise however shortly after signing the deal he brought on a new manager karen who was put in charge of marketing including the new website we were just contracted to do it quickly became clear that karen thought of herself as a multi-disciplinary genius and despises us because she thinks she can do better than a professional design agency karen loves sending over incomprehensible design instructions and feedback in the form of design mock-ups that she creates in powerpoint they're as ugly as the devil's butthole after a strong curry but we try our best to translate the abomination she birthed into good looking professional design proposals that best reflects the intent of her ideas karen didn't like that one bit karen was rude uncooperative and removed bob from the email threads when we tried to reach out to him to get his opinion when we sent over a design she would have complained about how it wasn't exactly what she wanted and scream over the phone while our team patiently explained why we couldn't design exactly what she wanted mainly it would be super ugly and nobody would want to do business with them with a website like that the last time karen complained about how we were stupid morons for not doing what she wanted we got her on the phone with bob she was screaming incomprehensibly and nobody got a word in finally bob took her aside and said karen is extremely experienced and knows what she's doing i want your team to follow every instruction exactly as she asks no problem once again karen sent over a ridiculous 70 megabyte powerpoint if we followed it exactly it would look like a website from the 90s with the worst user experience ever we went through every little pixel of her powerpoint asking her so you want us to copy this exactly to which she would reply with a smug yes so we documented her instructions down to the letter to cover our butts and once again we asked bob are you sure yes please hurry up and make those changes exactly as she asked okie dokie we copied every ugly font choice every terrible gradient every hideous element into the design we even went the extra mile to export the ugly lopsided shape she drew as png graphics so it would all be exactly as she wanted then we sent the design over here's a design we had done everything exactly as instructed karen once again replied taking bob out of the loop perfect now it wasn't so hard to do things exactly as i asked was it winky face we waited bob exploded demanding a meeting the very next day to explain why we were delivering such shoddy work we go to the meeting and karen starts demanding that we propose a completely new design we presented all the past designs the document in which karen confirmed that she wanted all the changes the countless emails in which we painstakingly explained to her why her ideas suck and finally the last email in which she praised us you see bob after our last call with you we had followed karen's instructions to the letter exactly as she asked she seemed very happy with it i'm confused why the quick change of hearts i then pull out the contract and calmly point out the portion which stated the number of design proposals we would create karen had used up all of it i had reminded her that she was limited to x number of proposals but she clearly didn't remember any of it because she didn't bother reading our emails and would keep talking or yelling over us when she spoke on the phone i looked bob in the eye and told him he could either pay extra for each additional new proposal karen once or choose from the existing designs done they ask for some time to discuss privately we break for coffee well karen is extremely experienced in this field we'll go with the last design since it's exactly as she wanted even my intern couldn't hold back his surprise as we drive back to the office he asks is karen sleeping with bob or something why does she have him buy the balls like that i shrug it's his business and we're getting paid anyway and he clearly doesn't appreciate our design expertise after all the last time we spent arguing with them the more time we could use to focus on my appreciative good clients we make bob and karen sign off on the design and finish up their project quickly karen still tries to be difficult but we stick to the contracted terms and she couldn't do anything two months after the project ended i get a call from bob he began with some small talk about innocuous project related business but i realized it wasn't the purpose of the call karen had been fired after making more serious mistakes causing major losses to his company he sounded contrite but didn't offer any real apology that's terrible bob i'm so shocked i thought karen was extremely experienced and knew what she was doing if you ask me i think the intern hit the nail on the head either bob was a complete and total idiot or he was having an affair with karen no wonder she got that promotion our next reddit post is from hooked on phone when i was in high school i had the typical minimum wage cashier shop it was store policy to ask for a legal government id when a customer purchased cigarettes or alcohol we had to id every customer who looked like they could be under 35 if you didn't and they turned out to be underage you could be fired or arrested if you were caught by a regulatory agency there was no way in hell that 16 year old me was going gonna risk getting fired or arrested for a sucky minimum wage job so i id'd everybody now 99 of the time the person reacted amicably handed over the id and went on their way but on occasion i would end up with some karen or chad who had left their id in the car and wanted me to proceed without the id check one particularly karenie karen who looked to be in her late 40s would come in to buy cigarettes and never had id so i refused to sell her cigarettes she'd pitch a fit and storm out after doing this three or four times i guess she had enough and complained to my manager i had to go on a break at that point so i didn't have a chance to actually look at her id that time either the following week karen returned and once again tried to buy her cigarettes without id as usual i requested a driver's license and the usual circus ensued the manager asked me afterwards why i still asked for an id after he had completed her purchase himself the last time i pointed out that i had yet to actually see the id myself therefore as per company policy i couldn't assume that he had done his job and confirmed her id i had to keep asking until i confirmed her age myself she continued to come to the store and throw the same tantrum for a few months before i moved away i never saw her id and i refused to sell her cigarettes for a solid six months our next reddit post is from spooha i used to work at a very fancy club think of a two-story ballroom nightclub my job was to be the door girl where i stood next to security and decided if people could come in or not whereas the security takes care of checking ids and if the person is too drunk a guy came up in line and security checked their ids and such and the guy passed one of my rules was that i had to send away any guy not wearing a collared shirt and this guy was wearing a normal t-shirt i told him so and he left with his mates the next minute he's back in line with two napkins from a club across the road tucked into the neck of his shirt to look like a collar i couldn't turn away a guy with a collar and as damn brilliant as that so i have a semi-related story back in the early days of my youtube career i was kind of online friends with this other youtuber i attended a gaming convention and i found out that my youtube buddy was there except that he had been invited to an exclusive invite-only creator party so to get an invite to the party you had to be like a youtuber or a twitch streamer or something like that i didn't have an invite but my buddy told me where the party was so i showed up and the door lady was like you're not on the list i was like yeah i know that i'm not on the list but i'm a youtuber here look and she was a little skeptical but after looking through my channel she was like okay yeah i'll let you through in that moment that was the coolest i'd ever felt in my entire life i showed up to a party where i didn't have an invite and i basically pulled the um excuse me do you know who i am lion and the lady let me in our next reddit post is from pastel parrot during my freshman year of high school i had a world geography class with a couple of friends and therefore i was pretty vocal maybe more than i should have i admit it was about halfway through the school year when my teacher got on my case about talking too much and told me that if i said another word that i would be sent to the principal's office now i was in a class with all of my friends and some girls i like so naturally i wanted to show off so i didn't say a single word for the rest of the class after the class everyone thought it was somewhat funny so i didn't say anything the next class then i got the idea that i wouldn't say a word in that class for the rest of the year this teacher was brand new with his first year teaching so he didn't know how to handle such a thing every day he would call attendance messing with me because i didn't say anything or he would call on me for questions but i didn't say a word the teacher was a cool guy and never really got mad but he never told anyone to not say another word i had a notebook that i would write questions in and my grades never suffered looking back i was being really immature but it makes me laugh every time i think about it that was our slash malicious compliance
