Being a former bartender, I loved that last story! I have had to deal with so much stupidity from people. AND BEGGING FOR FREE DRINKS!!!! My way of handling beggars was telling them I was going to make them a special freebie. I'd get them distracted and empty the drip mat into a shot glass. A drip mat is where the drinks are mixed. Everything spills into them, beer, liquor and mixers. It's nasty. But that would be free! They would take the shot, look pained, and never ask for anything for free again!
@@addisonwelsh I pulled that one back in 1960 . . . in a college library. The guy was complaining about noise in an enclosed room but he made more noise than our "disturbance". It got quiet when he was gone.
Back then, £6.80 was a lot to be taken out of your pay. I don’t know what employment laws you have where you live, but it’s a massive no no with a lot of legal repercussions to take anything away from pay unless it’s for taxes here in the UK
@@flowingcrimson there weren’t any because they agreed to OPs terms eventually after they tried to call his bluff. If they still didn’t accept the terms, then I believe OP would have taken it way further than he did
Story 4. Even with bouncers present, it takes quite some balls to do what OP did. There's no guarantee the drunks would wait to be fully outside, or that they wouldn't just bash him in the back of the head while going outside. Still, clever ruse.
Most bouncers are all bluff. Mumble years ago, a friend of mine worked as a bouncer on Saturday evenings to supplement his other income. He was somewhere north of six foot seven, and wide in the shoulder to match. He told me that all he ever had to do was to stand close to someone, and they got the message. His great fear, he said, was that someone would call his bluff. "I've never actually been in a fight - I wouldn't know what to do."
I don't know why OP was so entitled. Nige NEEDED that $9 for his new Porsche, after all. Seriously, how does a business owner ruin his own business (and reputation) over such an insignificant amount?
"Seriously, how does a business owner ruin his own business (and reputation) over such an insignificant amount?" Three words: "greed", "tyranny", and "ego"
@@Eric1SanDiego1 it's not that simple. ego is definitely involved, but greed... it's 9 dollars. it's not about the money, it's about dominating other people. guy thinks that because people work for him that they're his bitch and this dude showed that, no, you might be the leader but that don't make you superior
My dad got in a "lets take this out side" situation once, the guy walked out in front and when he got to the bottom of the steps right out the door he stopped and turned... my dad jumped onto him and pinned him down with a hobnail boot to the neck...... at least he didn't kick the guy in the face.
I was at an outdoor show in San Diego. Lady was sitting in the middle of the last three open seats. I asked if she could move to one end or the other so my wife and I can sit together. Lady refused. Wife started getting worked up, and I said "Don't worry about it, Wife. She's probably just from New York or something." A minute or two later, the lady leaves. :-)
@@yozarahirvi4750 New Yorkers have a reputation of often being rude. This generalization is not truly accurate, but some of the rudest people I have met were from New York, also some of the nicest people I met are from New York.
Back in high school, my best friend and I went to a movie, matinee but still a popular movie that ushers were used and counting entries to make sure they had enough seats and to find seats if need be. Same sitch, 3 seats but a nasty old hag in the middle who wanted her elbow-room. Usher *put* us there so the hag couldn't really say anything, she refused to slide over to let us sit together, so there we were, one on either side, having a great (and loud) conversation right across her as the movie hadn't started yet, even passing things back'n'forth right across her. The hag's breaking point was when he got a big tub of popcorn and kept handing it to me right across her so I could grab another and another handful. Finally she cracked and said "Fine! Take your f'ing seats together!", and got up to slide over. Perfect timing, as like 30sec later the lights dimmed for the movie to start. Best part is that neither of us ever got overpriced popcorn or anything from the concessions stand, and this was his first, no doubt *JUST* to piss her off. We still had a laff as to what a hag like that was doing there for an action/scifi/whatever flick (only movies we ever went to see).
Something like that sorta happened to me at a public library. This was years ago, when internet wasn't as widespread as it is now. If you wanted to use the net, you signed a list and you got 1/2 an hour. Sometimes the next person doesn't show up or is late and you get a little extra time. So I'm printing up some stuff when my time is up, I look around and see a guy standing a few feet away and I ask him if he's next up to use the PC, he doesn't answer. I ask again, figuring he didn't hear me, he still doesn't answer. I figure that I got some bonus time. About 5 minutes later, he taps me on the shoulder saying that I'm using up his time, I asked him why he didn't answer me as I got my stuff together. He says, "You must be from New York..." Mind you, we're in the main branch of the NYPL. I reply, "Yeah, that's how I learned how to answer simple yes or no questions." I left before he could say anything.
18:19 this MC was great, because bosses and owners almost always get away with wage theft, and it's only getting brought up resently especially at the high of "the big quit" I first witnessed this when a waiter was tiped over $500 and everyone including the manager wanted a peice of it, and they threatened to fire him if he didn't.
Stolen Bleacher Story: If I were OP, after about 25 minutes of the torment, I'd have leaned forward and whispered in Karen's ear: "Karma's a Bitch isn't it...Just like you"... 😄😁😆😅😂🤣
Story 3 - absolutely, here in the UK it is very naughty to deduct without proper cause - I can see how the bosses would have a leg to stand on, as the team did leave before close of business, assuming their regular Friday early finishes were verbal and not in their contracts. However to deduct them an hour's pay is illegal as they only left 10 minutes early! And 15 years ago there's no way £6-ish would be 10 minutes of a dev team's salary, not even today unless it's the head-head-honcho!
Lol the "let's take this outside" trick is a known gem for bouncers to calmly get people out of premises without incident. I did the same, however in my case I just said "it's too loud in here I can't hear what you are saying (I could of course) let's pop out the back door so I can hear you better." Then slammed the door and radioed to the doormen at the front describing the guy they had to stop if he tried to come back in. The confusion on their face is priceless.
I love how I was preparing a bath for my dog and thought 'Huh. Maybe I should Play some music or even better a Darkfluff video' then I unlocked my phone and BOOM!
@@incorrect339 Of course I did! He's all shiny clean! I even gave him a milk bone for being such a good boy and extra butt scratches. He's such a good boy and he deserves the best of the very best. 😇🥰😇
@@damienknapman2308 Yeah, and even if it was on a tab they take a credit card upfront, just in case people do a runner ... or get outsmarted into leaving like those upstanding gorillas!
Actually an uncivilized barbarian is better behaved because the barbarian knows any insult will have immediate and swift retribution. It's civilized people that introduced the idea insults or harm has to go through a court to be punished, lol.
I'm glad I currently work at a place where my boss (the owner) will go above and beyond to help their employees. Our warehouse got broken into late night and the thieves made out with a bunch of tools. It doesn't seem like much but we make a living with them and many weren't cheap. The owner told everyone to make a list of what was taken and he replaced them all. Some of us cried. Our boss kicks himself if forgets a deal or promise made. People don't leave bad companies, they leave bad bosses.
Agreed, most people I know would be happy being paid less (within reason) if it came with a great work environment. And the irony is people working in a great environment with great bosses tend to earn more anyway; They stay there longer and work more productively.
in story 2 i would've had the kids dump POPCORN ALL OVER THEM and when Karen said CONTROL YOUR KIDS i would've said YOU shouldn't have taken OUR SEATS and the purse would've been COVERED IN MUD KETCHUP MUSTARD AND POPCORN! yeah, we've seen that done before
To all father's that celebrates father's Day tomorrow I hope you have a great day and remember to wear those funny neckties your kids will most likely get you
I don't like spicy stuff at all but my BF does, so he usually just adds hot sauce to chili, Mac N Cheese, etc. He also gets artisan hot sauces for holidays. Check out Wizard of Odd sauces if you're interested. Once I made two batches of stove-top chili instead of one crock-pot. His had jalapenos, spicy beans, and a touch of sriracha. He was a happy guy that night.
This is what happens when the bosses think that they're making this money and keep the company afloat rather than the people at the bottom who are actually doing all the work that generates the profit.
In the story about the web developers I'm very confused how everyone was obsessed over the deduction for 10 minutes but we're apparently working hours of overtime for free??? Nobody cared about that?
Add sugar and it to the dish that's too hot with spice and the sugar will neutralize the heat and you'll never know it's there and you'll still benefit from all the natural nutrients from that hot spice no side effects the sugar neutralizes the heat in the spice
I am not one for eating spicy foods, my stomach can't handle it very well. My neighbour friend makes an absolutely amazing chilli that is so mild it is practically dormant. Other neighbour is the 'not spicy enough' type, sooo she obliges by doing what that young lady did. Asbestos gloves handling the plate hot. Yeah no more complaints (She doesn't offer to cook for him any more either, his loss)
I do not like hot chili but he's right she asked for it hot and that's what she got this is a case of caution be careful what you wish for you just may get it
Someone calls my spouse a name, and makes a death threat to me they will not be welcomed in my house. In fact, they're getting asked to leave, and they will be reported to the cops. I don't take any crap from anyone.
The "ruined their business for $9" story reminds me of some drama between employees of mine. No, I did not dock their pay. We have a tip jar. Because the employee counting up the jar sucked at math, they made an error on the tip distribution. Because she didn't follow the posted instructions, she couldn't retrace her steps and find the error. The employee who had been shorted told her go ahead, leave the error, it was only four bucks he lost. Good man, right? Not so much. What he _actually_ thought was four dollars was a perfectly good reason to hate someone so viciously and relentlessly that it was a big contributor to him being fired a short time later. It's not hard to find a place like mine to work at, so the dude didn't ruin his career or anything like that. But he was willing to spend all day, every day stewing in rage, gossiping to anyone who would listen what a stupid bitch that other person was, he couldn't believe how she screwed him over, she didn't even try to find the mistake, the owners don't even care that a supervisor was stealing tips, and on and on and on, rendering himself and his workplace toxic for weeks -- over _four dollars._ People do not operate on reason. That's just a comforting lie we tell ourselves. EDIT: I hit Post and RU-vid came back with some warning that my comment might be "disrespectful" or "harmful." So it's not outright censorship, YET, but they're sniffing around its doorstep. Anyone else seeing these?
@@Felishamois Yeah I was a sweet summer child when I posted this. The number of comments that don't get shown has been ramping up steadily. It's almost impossible to talk about many serious subjects now. They're smart. They knew if they dropped the full censorship nuke all at once, people would leave the site. But crank it up a little at a time and people will accept almost anything.
@@Maladjester China is incredibly inspiring when it comes to this. Not the censorship laws, but the creative ways people get around them by adopting new euphemisms. I'm sur if you wrote "botch" it would have gone through perfectly. Botch is a perfectly fine word, so is batch, beech or beach. Gotta love our corporate overlords who don't give a shot about democracy or user experience beyond not making people leave. Blade Runner might not be that far off. Edit: AI interpretation of hostile intent in a text is just around the corner, ain't that fun and sunshine
@@Felishamois We're already living in a world where every word is spreadsheeted, parsed, flagged, analyzed, and """"if necessary"""" (four quotes because that's how sarcastically I'm saying it) deleted. Having the spreadsheet dial 911 on us was just the next logical step. I trust the screaming homeless man in the town square before I trust a megacorp to tell me what's acceptable. I sense a day, not too far off now, when I will have to abandon the very concept of articulating my thoughts.
🤦♀️I need this video I swear.. am still angry and upset with this dam MEGA KAREN AND HER KIDS.. never know how I didn't Explode... 😮💨😒.. I blame the manager for this stress.. 🥰thank you for being my hero ❤️❤️❤️❤️
That chili story reminds me. I used to work in the student pub back when I was in uni. The pub served drinks and some basic food, and one of the dishes was a nacho plate. One guys from another class that was known for being loud and a bit obnoxious while drunk ordered a nacho plate, ate the whole thing and then complained it wasn't spicy enough. He quickly proceed to order another one, and he literally said "make it so spicy I can't eat it", well, cue 2 whole bottles of tabasco and a full jar of sambal oelek. He came back a few minutes later with the plate complaining he couldn't eat it. We just stared at him for a few seconds until it dawned on him.....
Lives in mother in laws house but complains about having to cook for her. The spicy aspect, fine, seems like momma being petty, but get your own house.
Hey, I put Sriracha in my chili. Also, chili powder, habeneros, maybe a Scotch Bonnet, along with chunks of sirloin. My husband makes the chili, and I season it. We've won chili contests with our recipe.
You're at a football game - you're *supposed* to jump up and down, scream and yell when your team scores! The mom actually said she usually keeps her kids from doing that? Spoil sport!
My son-in-law has always bragged about liking spicy food and having a high tolerance for it. I prefer just enough spice to taste, but not to burn the taste buds. Well, I got tired of it and finally got the opportunity to shut him up. When I was buying plants for my garden I found some ghost pepper plants. I bought them and grew the peppers, then my wife made a salsa with them. He decided he had lost a but of his tolerance for hot and spicy. I won!
Small businesses becoming worse to work at as they get bigger seems to be an all too common issue. Worse still when a small studios get sold to a bigger company that's more demanding and the whole work environment changes or the staff are thinned out or occasionally they just get shut down entirely (Rest in Peace, Rooster Teeth).
Damn a tablespoon of carolina reaper ??? Ouch that is hot. Yup, I love spicy too, but for my californian reaper sauce I use a pipette to make sure I have a stomach left after eating my food. (For those who don't know, it is in the upper section of the Scsoville scale, the only scale that measure heat (spicyness) of peppers. It scores no less as 2.2 million SHU. For comparison, Japeno scores no higher as 8.000 SHU and Cayenne maxes out at 50.000 SHU.).)
Story 2 the parents got 2 wins that day. One over Karen and the other was the kids energy was spent having a blast at game so that normally means a nice quiet evening lol
