r/Maliciouscompliance I Embarrassed a Millionaire & Ruined His Business! 

You make a good point about the "white shirt" policy. What I also don't get is that usually restaurant workers 15 and under are usually given the dirty cleaning jobs, wouldn't their uniforms get stained more easily? I'd think you'd want to give them navy or black shirts instead.

My late grandma started having issues with her router. The company kept trying to sell her a new router like 4 times within 6months. She would politely argue with them until they agreed to not charge her for the new box. I was outside (i was living with her at that point) one time when one of the workers came out and mentioned starting up a new feature she didn't ask for and I was like ur not charging her for that are u? They were of course. So I went and got her. She was in the house. It was a beautiful thing watching the exchange happen irl. She never raised her voice. She didn't curse. But she had this ability to talk and talk and talk. It was a running joke in the family that when u spoke to her on the phone she would restart the conversation like 3-4 times. In the end she didn't have to pay for the new feature. I miss that lady.

as someone who worked in the service industry as a teenager, i can definitively say that no, r/slash, it doesn't matter how old a girl is. if her work shirt "happens" to be see-thru, it just attracts more creepy old guys and customers are customers, sex offender or not.

Story 3: I know a school in The Netherlands ( Sint-Janslyceum ) that had see-through T-shirts for all their students during PE-classes. Simple complains by the girls did not make the school change it. A Dutch youtube channel called "Boos" (translated: Angry) needed to visit TWICE and complain before the shirts were replaced.

As someone who was once a 15 year old girl- There's a lot that I ignored and didn't speak up about until years later because talking about it just got you treated worse. My full-grown adult married male boss who had a daughter my age telling me I had the perfect mouth for blowjobs? I avoided responding and he cut my shifts. We also weren't allowed to dye our hair. And we had to have it in a ponytail. (Being fair we dealt with food, but if we had hair short enough that it didn't touch the collar of our shirts, we didn't even have to wear a hairnet which was what was most confusing.) He took us to a club for our work Christmas. When the youngest employees were 14 years old. I got hit on by customers all the time. I've also worked at a place where you were only allowed to wear neutral colours and the company provided shirt for your first shift (Since it took place at the same time as you completed the final interview so they prepared one in case you were wearing too many colours) Was fully see-through. So I spent my first paycheque from that company on an undershirt. And that was when I was 21. So. As a 15 year old girl? A see-through shirt? I would have gotten a proper undershirt and moved on, because by 15 I already knew that they could do whatever they wanted to me. Not only because I was 15 but because I was a girl.

I want to hear that first story from the producer’s side. I’m sure that “executive producer “ gave them so much ammo for hilarious malicious compliance.

Story: i did not take the $100 rSlash: i pocketed the easy $100 Narrator: it was after this moment that rSlash realized he heeded glasses. And a break.

Rslash: “…pocketing an easy hundred bucks” Op: “I didn’t take the hundred dollars” Edit: I pointed this out because I noticed it as a mistake. I did not take this as being intentional. Yes he said something completely different from the original sentence HOWEVER what likely happened is he read the original sentence as “I did take the $100” and changed that sentence that he misread so that it would flow better and sound cooler. He made a mistake. We all make mistakes. We are human. Stop the name calling and the tearing down of his character.

At 15, the 1st time either of my parents saw me wearing a see-through work shirt? You can bet my very angry parents would be yelling horrendous things at my manager about using minors for illegal purposes.

First story: I don't think the producer wanted to use the analog machine at all. I'm guessing, since it "looks" cooler and is what everyone sees in videos the executive producer insisted on it. He wanted the image, not the actual quality. The producer had probably warned him, hence the "I told you" but let the EP have his way.

The shirt rule actually makes a ton of sense to me as there are often legal restrictions on what employees under 16 can do and having a quick visual reference could prevent them from getting into serious trouble and major fines (by having a fifteen year old working with knives when they need someone to do something in a pinch for example). But having such shitty shirts doesn't make sense.

The different colored shirts actually make total sense, it's just that white was a very poor choice. I assume it's meant as a constant reminder so the managers are crystal clear on who is under 16, so they keep labor laws in mind. I believe that in most places it's 16 when you are a little more flexible on the hours you're allowed to work and such.

When it comes to a 14 year old girl "making the policy change with a see through shirt", let me remind you that girls dress codes in school aren't because of the boys their age, but the teachers. I can assure you that it was likely a very intentional rule at the company.

The sad thing about clothing that's made for female presenting people is our shirts are already paper thin and see through, so we're used to bs like that already.

6:59 Why did RSlash say OP took the money when OP said he didn't? 🤨 I hope he just read it wrong and didn't realise it while editing ...

I know some elderly people that are happy to spend hours playing up their lack of knowledge because they enjoy the conversation, have all the time in the world and as a bonus are happy to get those lower rates or otherwise. I bet OPs grandma has cottoned on to the plot for lower prices but is happy to go along with it to benefit OP and for the reasons above.

16:20 honestly, it probably did happen. A young girl probably did bring up that problem. Problem is, nobody listens to teenage girls, especially not in the workplace. I'm a trans man, 20 now. But I got my first job at 14, presenting as a girl. I'd had surgery on my SPINE 3 months before starting work. The full recovery time was 1 year. I asked to have 1 weekend day off to rest; no school, no work, just homework and recovery time. Working after school 4 days a week AND 8hrs both weekend days was causing me pain, mental breakdowns, and making my school performance drop drastically; which I brought up to the manager. I also brought up how I got horrible period cramps that give me cold sweats, shaky hands, a headache, make me unable to focus, nauseous, and caused horrible hip pains. I asked for more bathroom breaks and a stool to sit on behind the register- both for my spine and hips. For 1 week a month. I was told "Absolutely not, we're too short staffed, you'll have to deal with it." I was basically forced to quit a few weeks later. My body and mind literally could not handle that job. Management sucked.

First guy didn't "pocket the easy 100 bucks" he clearly stated he didn't take any of the money

BestBuy guy is a hero for the little people. Us peasants appreciate your uno reverse on our behalf I'm a little concerned why everyone had ok shirts but minors under 16 have to be in white see through shirts!?? Sus

Manager: "It's company policy to follow the shirt rules." Yes.. there's absolutely no choice. It's says so in The Rules and god forbid if you dare to question them, you're in trouble. Long live bureaucracy!

Good on OP in the internet story for getting one over on Spectrum. They deserve it.

I honestly don’t get how people can be so entitled

thumbnail: "all my money is gone" me: don't do it don't do it my mind: "all my love is gone~"

the executive producer tried to put out the album without the band’s consent, he thought that he held the rights because they recorded on his label but he didn’t: it was held by the band and producer, not executive producer he probably tried to put out a song recorded by someone else using a song written by one of the bands on the label and got hit hard from it

> almost see-through shirts for anyone under 15 i physically cringed

Why use 10 minute every time a company wants your email when you could just make a junk email account? Set it up with a free service and turn off all notifications and it's the same thing except you only need to do it once.

That isp story annoyed me. I was with the same cellphone provider for nearly 10 years, and I decided to switch to another plan (same company) I ask SPECIFICALLY over the phone whether 1)I'd get the introduction rate (it was only a 30 dollar difference over the entire year, so not huge) and 2) Whether they had my credit card details and that it'd switch over immediately. Day of the switch comes, I had to give up a week if paid credit due to the introductory offer expiry date and lo and behold, they switched my plan, but it was unpaid due to them NOT having my cc details. I couldn't even call them because my phone service had been cut. I had to make a special trip to their store and pay there, and they told me I wouldn't get the intro rate. I switched another service at the next opportunity. My only regret is that I didn't cancel the plan then and there, and that I gave their customer service a good rating because I thought they had handled it. So there you go, a nearly 10 year customer gone over 30 bucks, and a lying sales rep. F you Optus

Why did you say the guy "pocketed the $100" when it's clearly written he didn't take the $?

Day 352 of telling him he's making everyone day better

Something not mentioned in the first story by OP is the fact that working with analog gear also requires summing - literally re-recording all of your tracks with the edits on them into a separate file. You have to wait the entire duration of the song (or however much time you want those edits to take up) every time you mix. Source: studying to be an audio engineer!

OP: “I didn’t take the $100.” Rslash: “Pocketing an easy $100.”

dude that guy with the email ABSOLUTE legend

I dare you to eat a entire wheel of cheese Because someone did a challenge, spawning 200 cheese in Skyrim, per 1/? of cheese,was just watching that. They didn’t eat the whole thing, just like over 50% of 1/4

“Though he was planning checkers” no my friend, the Executive Producer thought he was going to play Tic-tac-toe.

I worked in customer care at a telecom company. Any time a customer would ask about doing something that would technically go against our policy, but couldn't really be enforced, I would just say "well, I can't say you can or can't do that, but if you did, we wouldn't be able to stop you". I'd say it in a voice that would basically sound like I'm winking. I'd then laugh.

About the see through shirt story. As a person assigned female at birth, this is a common experience. Most white shirts given to me for uniforms in the past were completely see through after a few washes. One job I had in a grocery store deli had white button up shirts, but they became see through everytime they got a little wet. If we had to wash the equipment in the back, we weren't given water proof aprons, so our shirts would just be see through. Most women just wear tank tops underneath most uniform shirts because they tend to be cheaply made and revealing. I've never considered this guy's response, and now I really wish I had.

If I have an issue providers or anything like that I call my 60 year old veteran dad. His motto is: if you annoy them enough they will eventually listen 😂. It’s truly amazing what this man do!

Hope everyone's having a good Monday!

I have a question if this lizard liable for rent this tiny lizard has been showing up randomly each week he just pops up and runs away I swear this guy has to be paying rent if he acts like he owns the place

OP: I started working for a particular clown who owns a fast food restaurant. My brain: Krusty Burgers!!!

For that last story rslash,it sounds almost like my workplace except the age restriction shirts. We had thin blue ones for girls and red ones for guys no matter the age. Eventually they decided to have all red shirts for gender equality lol. However, these days the management has turned extremely stupid for unknown reasons. And they wonder why people are quitting

I dont think its fair of everyone to get on R/Slash for reading one sentence wrong out of a lengthy reddit post! I've seen dozens of comments on it. He makes these videos every day, probably prerecords a few, and is human! It's okay to slip up on a sentence, it did not make me view OP in a different light, nor R/Slash. Keep doing what you're doing! I love listening to these on my morning commute :)

for the internet speed story, yes, the reps are absolutely monitored on call times and volume, the longer you tie them up the more likely it is they will just do whatever they can to make you happy and end the call. i hated being an RST.

7:01 Come on RSlash, he literally said he didn't take the $100! It wouldn't be a big deal if you changed "I didn't take the $100" to "I did take the $100 dollars" But then it was fully embellished by changing it to "Pocketing an easy 100 bucks"

“I’m pretty sure it’s because they would get in more trouble for a 3 hour call than for reducing the price.” As someone who worked for a local cable / ISP, I can confirm that this is 100% accurate. 😂

With the service provider story, I used to work at one. We literally could not change the price and always told the customer that if they are willing to cancel to reconnect, that isn't the process and makes us look bad in the eyes of the law as it's unethical. Which is true. And yes if a call went longer than say 20 mins, it would be a concern but we can't just alter prices because somebody is petty. It would lead them nowhere but a hang up.

As a 15 year old I would never have not worn something underneath a practically see through shirt, I am pretty sure I am not alone in this.

You literally could make a literal drinking game out of literally how many literal times they said 'literally'. Most annoying habit people have when speaking.

That Producer in the first story is my hero!

6:55 it clearly says he DIDN’T take the $100, but ok.

I need that tequila shirt. It's much more amusing than it really should be. "One tequila! Two tequila! Three tequila! floor"

At 10:00 I was just typing about 10 minute mail 😂😂 right before you said it!! I love that site!!

Is there anything more satisfying than seeing a scumbags web of lies fall apart all around him?

About that last story as creepy as it is just imagine if a girl was wearing those white shirts the amount of tips she would get from the more creepy clientele would be insane.

That 10 minute mail site works amazing!!!

Love the first story. The sound guy got more business because he unknowingly became the producer's ally against a pain in the ass

Text: "I didn't take the $100" rSlash: "Pocketing an easy 100 bucks".

8:45 actually apparently the Producer was just MCing, Exec Producer wanted the mixes done on the analog console probably because he thought it would be too pedestrian/unprofessional to have the mixes done on a computer. He probably was all “Why mix it on a computer? I could do that at home!”

I used to work at a donut/coffee place that had cheap button up shirts. I am not flat chested or very slim and those shirts never fit comfortably or stayed buttoned. I can't tell you how many times customers in the drive through would either be staring, or mention that the buttons over my chest were undone and sure enough, look down and there's my bra and breast poking out to see what's going on. Tried an undershirt a few times but those button ups were stiff and didn't breath. It was nice when they finally switched to a looser, decent polo.

Happy late birthday by the way!! Love you and wish you and family a lovely holidays!!

I've been using corporate emails at any store that requires an email for a couple of year snow. it's great not getting any spam from them.

Wow, Thank you for telling us the 10 minute mail website!! I'm gonna use this a lot

I don’t think you could deny a worker a day of pay because she’s wearing a see through shirt that you ordered her to wear, more likely you’d just have to bust the red shirt back out!

HOW DIDN'T A 15 WOMAN WALK IN WITH JUST A BRA UNDER THAT SEE THRU SHIRT!? Seriously that'd be a huge issue, I don't like wearing just a bra in front of my mom and I'm 24

I am a live sound engineer (39yr, 15 yrs in the buizz) and I had many "producers" come up to me saying "make it sound like the record". To which I only can reply: "Then make them sound like they did on the record". I can amplify their sound, not make it better. You get what the band sounds like, just louder. I can make small changes and adjust volumes, but if the guitar is louder than the rest of the band, then you will hear guitar with a little bit of band. I can not change the laws of physics...

The Producer played EVERYONE there

First OP knows their stuff. Certified audio engineer who does their own mixing and mastering here and yeah, usually they’re separate unless you talk specifically about mastering.

So, my husband (who also works for best buy) says the BBY story is BS. Plus we just bought a fire stick and the cashier never asked us for an email. My mom also bought one for my uncle, she was never asked either.

hearing the shirt thing I absolutely thought the same thing. Then I thought "the girl probably will be too ashamed to mention it, and those who do notice will either be worried that they'll be accused of looking, or... they are too busy looking and enjoying it. also unless I'm wrong, he only solved it for him, the kids still have to wear those

I love these videos! I got my mother's 20 year death anniversary tomorrow and these videos cheer me up!

that producer one....it wasnt a guy playing chess against a guy playing checkers....he was playing chess against a guy who thought they were playing go fish. They were so far off the same page, they weren't even in the same league

For that ISP story, I thought that was normal? Whenever I move, I always check if any of my roommates can get the new customer discount before we decide who’s taking care of internet.

That's their secret rSlash, they've never hired a 15 year old girl.

10:54 - 12:30 There is a magic question that you can ask to get better deals. "How much notice do you need to disconnect the service?"

That last story: Who's to say the idea of a 15 year old girl in that kind of shirt wasn't EXACTLY what the rule-maker (owner, manager, whatever) had in mind? No doubt he reads, "How to be a disgusting perv and make money doing it". The lady manager was just following the rules so she doesn't get in trouble.

I swear people in these comments are always so extreme. Maybe it was a mistake, maybe it wasn’t but either way I don’t think it’s enough for all of us start making these broad sweeping accusations of character. There could be any number of reasons why it happened and yet everyone insists upon picking the worst and then extrapolating even further into the worst conclusion.

Thank you for the quality morning content

10 minute mail just got a huge shout out and they're not even today's sponsor 🤣

Is it sad that when the OP said “Firesticks”, the first thing I thought of was matches? Lol

I love waking up and watching these videos

Wait, wait, wait. They're giving 14 year olds see through shirts? Nobody else sees a problem with this?

For the email issue here is an alternative that will actually hurt them worse than the 10-minute mail thing. Create a google account for the spam and only use that for your customer. Go into the email and report everything as spam. I worked as a marketing solution specialist for a while and learned that any marketing team getting their server marked as spam hurts them so much more because it is so hard to recover from that.

There a "temp mail" website where it generates an email, you can access everything it has like a regular email, and then it deletes itself WHENEVER you want, so if you need one for a day then you can keep it for a day. 2 minutes? It'll last 2 minutes

10 min mail finna come in clutch in the future. This video is an absolute gem.

LMFAO!! First story. I was down in Florida at Kingsnake Records and this goofball know it all starts berating us for “putting the amp in the stupidest places” and “we were just playing games to spend more of his clients money”. When the dude actually heard the difference between the sound of the guitar amp that was sitting on the floor in the studio vs. having it pointing up into the stairwell and hitting some sound foam, he turns to the idiot that was supposedly the “Executive Producer” and says, “If you want any EP credit on this project, you better come up with a whole lotta money. You don’t know sh*t about sound production and I’m NOT buying you a reputation that says you do.” That was awesome!!! 🤣🤣🤣

When it comes to the shirts “squeaky wheel gets the grease” The girls wearing the white shirts probably never complained because they would have gotten great tips. The managers wouldn’t notice if no one complained because they don’t care about anything past their paycheque

Last Story: Even better, he should have gone to work in bondage ropes and seen how fast the cops showed up to arrest his boss. 🤣

BestBuy, firestick wifi, spam emails, corporate policy, YOU HAD ME AT HELLO (thank you Tom Cruise ♥️)

Good morning, RSlash! Thanks for the video!

Regarding broadband. I used to work with broadband companies, and the "I'm going to leave" is the most tiresome thing to hear, usually it only works now if the company is doing a huge push to get up sales. But from observations, the best way to get a good deal is to call up and ask, politely, for information on how to leave the company, how much notice etc. They have to give you this and then they HAVE to ask you why you are leaving. Simply say " oh, I spoke to such and such company in one of their popups, and they explained to me that I can't renew and get a good deal and they offered me such and such a deal." It always goes the same way, a moment of silence and then the rep will get annoyed and defensive of the product. Threatening to leave makes them annoyed at you, saying this line, makes them annoyed at their rivals. Now you just need to wait for them to find a good deal and offer you some extras. Works EVERY time.

Actually for the McD shirt story, if it actually IS company policy the manager should have arranged for a 15 year old girl to wear the not so good shits. Any lawsuit would then be directed at the corporate overlords and take them down a small peg.

8:30 also pretty sure the analog machine just sounded more "high end" to the executive. like you know, anyone can click buttons on a computer, it's not music enough if it wasn't the big machine we always see in the movies, you know? just like your fiberoptics become more HiFi if the plugs are painted gold, trust me bro :P

The clown doesn't primarily run a restaurant business, he runs a real estate business that happens to serve food. You should look into it, it could be an eye-opener.

Thank you!!!! For the 10 minute mail tip

16:24 The girls would wear an undershirt because they realise it's see-through. It's not a general rule, but that's how most girls would act.

rSlash, the only person on earth that has a patreon that's used for SFW purposes

9:40 thank you for the heads up u/thehotshotpilot, I will write down a BS email when I pick one up lol

You know who else helps me keep cheap internet? MY MOM! WHOOOOOO!

16:07 My first thought was the same, the first time they hire someone who had a sized chest, with or without a bra, the manager is gonna freak out. What about people who wear binders? People who have scars that are noticable enough to be seen through the shirt?

In the last story OP could have worn a regular white T-shirt under his white seathroom shirt and there would have been no problem. OP was being ADI CK. A 15 year old female in the same situation would have borne a tank top or a tube topper some kind of white undershirt and there would have been no issue.
