ur perfectly on time! if you could do you think you might be able to do a tifu or 2 in 1 day? I love watching ur vids and it hurts having to wait so long
Limi V I agree that it was a nice gesture but it feels kind of wrong that he only did it just to get back at the cruise staff and not because he actually wanted to do a nice thing. I don’t know, it just seems like he was using them. I hope they managed to turn it into a good thing and had a good time anyway!
There's this short story by Ray Bradbury called There Will Come Soft Rains (written in 1918) and some of the futuristic technology he talks about actually exists today. Like the house having a voice would be an Alexa and the robotic mice would be a roomba. Not sure why this comment reminded me of the story but it's pretty good!
@@TheMuffinMansWife How about Isaac Asimov's "The Last Question"? Doesn't the small cube shaped "AC-contact" that accesses the "Galactic AC" through hyperspace sound an awful lot like a smartphone accessing the internet?
Imagine how happy those homeless people were on the cruise ship, they got to shower, have good food, relax and not have to worry about whem their next meal is. I wonder what they're doing now
I guarantee you they're absolutely back to being on the streets. There can be a lot of things making it hard to get out of poverty, but any man (and the vast majority of homeless are men) with two hands and two feet can find a job. Those that don't can absolutely find the help they need through charities, churches, jobs they *can* do, disability, etc. The reason most of these people are homeless are because of mental illness or disability that keeps them from interacting with the rest of the world like most of us.
@@spicytea735 Something that fucks vets for getting new jobs in many cases: Over and Under qualified; experience doesn't count; when applying for Gov position to do what was done while enlisted, what qualified to work in the military doesn't meet the requirements to be qualified as a civilian; not enough experience; not willing or able to accommodate that they may have developed a mental disorder; and after a while, no one will hire them because they are dirty due to not having a place to be able to get cleaned up (so then they get stuck being unemployed and homeless because they are unemployed and homeless).

@@arnekrug939 Homeless people are sometimes referred to as "bums", but "bummed" means to be disappointed or upset. So they sent bums on the cruise and they hope the cruise people were bummed out about it.

Someone tried to call the police on the bank for "Not giving me my money, and holding me hostage." Then the bank called the police saying "We have a robber stuck in the lobby, please come by and pick him up." Apparently the idiot got locked in and was failing miserably to open the door. He also ended up using all the bullets trying to open the door and trying to kill the people behind the desk. He had no bullets, no hostage ( no one was there but employees ), and no money. The cops just walked in cuffed him then walked out.

"Stock the shelves up, Don't leave the Counter, Don't you know that the others have their own work to do?". "So let me get this straight. You want me to stock the Shelves but I am not allowed to leave the Counter but I should ask others for help with this task but I cannot expect them to help me because they're too busy doing their own work?". "And it better be done by the time I get back". "Which Nuthouse did you say you escaped from again?".
The trick is, force the manager to get the stuff from the back. I love doing that. I especially love forgetting one or two items that they have to go back for.
The Database bro yes that’s really the moves, hit them with that “since the cook is to busy and I’m not allowed to leave the counter, could you please retrieve these items from stock, or watch the counter while I do”
This manager cannot make up her mind. If I was in that situation, I would quit, because I’m not gonna work for someone who gives me impossible tasks and then bitches me out if I don’t complete them.
As a checker I am pissed at the person that broke the ID. Even if my store thinks its fake we still scan it to make sure. If the ID is fake we call police immediately and hand the cops the ID for verification. Never break an ID even if you think its fake.
I used to program ATMs. ATMs have 2 functions they can perform after enough failed login attempts, "warm card" where it just gives back the card and the card doesnt work until the customer has a manager at their bank unlock it; and "hot card" where it actually keeps the card. We always told banks to NEVER do hot card, it gets the crap beaten out of your machine and lobby.
The AT&T one made me roll my eyes. This is entirely the fault of the higher ups and not the poor call centre peeps. I guarantee they're watched/monitored to make sure they stick to the script and not do any common sense thinking for themselves. The higher ups assume people won't ask about grace periods etc. Same as when you phone to cancel appointments and they say they'll have to charge you a massive cancellation fee (even if you've given 48 hours notice or whatever). Ask if it costs anything to reschedule - often it doesn't, so you can reschedule the appointment you want to cancel and then cancel it once it's on their books for 2 weeks' time or whatever. So frustrating.
And, it's very likely that the software the call center employee is given to work with will not allow her to add that in even if she wanted to. So even though she had to read the script she was chuckling at what OP was going to do.
You're so right. My best friend used to work for AT&T, and I heard many a horror story about idiot customers and even worse supervisors and managers. Some of their policies are beyond ridiculous!
This is just life in the 21st century. Systems are automated and the call ctr min wage clerk doesnt have a button for "add features to this account for free". Only buttons are "sign up new customer", "cancel new customer no fee", "signup with special of the month" and "cancel old customer with fee".
Thanks, I am fine & my family, but some of my friends are DYING of the boredom, some even break the rules & go to the beaches & stuff. I never thought that boredom can make you act like that, thanks rslash, it never hits me hard

I saw on a more recent video, that a guy in New York was able to break the lease on his home as military call-up was enshrined in (possibly just New York state) law. I was expecting the story to turn along the lines of "the military forced them to refund us." Shame.
The story with the ID: I had a store clerk try to pull something similar (refused to return my ID, but lucky for them they didn't try to destroy it) claiming that my military dependent ID was a fake... unfortunately for him, the person behind me in line was an off duty cop who informed him that he could return the ID or be charged with theft of federal property lol
the stock story. op should have said "how can i stock up when i can't move from the counter and the kitchen person is busy with their job and you said i cant leave the counter so how am i going to stock up? hey why don't you get the stock i need from the back since you the only one that's not busy."
Here’s my story! No malicious compliance, but still a food service story where you’re expected to do two things at once. So, I worked at a bakery and cafe. My manager was a sweetheart, but there were other folks who were tough cookies. There was one gal who worked on the food. She made the sandwiches and the salads etc. I was a cashier. I was expected to ring people up, and grab the baked goodies for people. If there was ever a busy day, and I needed to switch jobs (sometimes I had to put fresh bread into bags for people to buy) my manager and his assistant would always politely ask me to switch jobs. But the food gal was different. Whenever the line would get busy, I found myself yelling for someone to come and make food while tickets would be piling up. I later learned food gal would go off and clean something. When she was in super cleaning mode, nothing would stop her. She was the type of gal who could do two things at once. She later would pull me to the side and started teaching me how to make sandwiches and salads. But then people would come up to the register. I liked and respected food gal, but I realized she was expecting ME to do two things at once. This made my anxiety worse than it already is, and I started to become frustrated. It felt like she just wanted me to be a cashier and a cook at the same time so she could go off and clean something... it wasn’t what I signed up for at all and I found myself feeling frustrated and overwhelmed. Part of me feels bad for not wanting to do the food work, but another part of me knows I already had other stuff I needed to do. Be a cashier, but fresh bread and other goodies away, put stickers on boxes, clean tables, restock products, etc. Why would I want to do someone else’s job when I have a mile-long list of my own?
@@JamesterIsDivergent Oddly specific but him saying "our next post" at the start of each video helps the flow of binge watching, especially in the background just listening to it, cause it's like one long continuous video.
He records longer sessions that he uploads as podcasts. I've been listening on Spotify while out and about. He probably cuts those down into video-length clips.
Corporate is the worst thing on the planet, becausemajority of them never worked in the position they make the rules for. I worked for a place where we had someone from corporate come to our store to evaluate us. Dude is relatively friendly with everyone, a very likable person. He gets to evaluating me, he watches me work for awhile and we are conversing with one another, then a little later he says, well you're supposed to do it like this, this, and this. So I said, was my product not good in those areas? He said "they were, but that's not how the book says to do it." So, I extended my tools out to him and said, "here show me how to do it, so I can learn from you." Straight up deer in the headlights, he says "I don't know how to do this job, I just know you're doing it wrong." I respond, "Well, if it meets the requirements, I am not doing it wrong, and unless you can teach me the proper way do it, I can't change how I do it." He didn't speak or come near me for the rest of the 5 hours he was there. It was great.
Travis Rose I loved this story, I'm glad the guy just realised he was out of his depth and didn't try to get shitty with you. I hope he went a bright shade of red, (with embarrassment rather than anger)
Corporate Dope: [nitpicks me on how to "do my job right"] Me: Okay, then, with all due respect, would you like to demonstrate to me exactly "how" to do my job "correctly?" At least that's what I'd ask them...and maybe let them experience exactly *what* it feels like to do something like "push x amount of carts they recommend pushing" and see if that's unrealistic compared to how I've been doing it. They've got no right to hassle you for how you're doing your job, especially if how you do it gets it done legally.
Exactly, I work at a place that rhymes with Iffy Cube, and and they have all of these methods for doing things and getting cars in and out quickly that just DON'T work when you're right there doing it.
The Homeless people getting a nice cruise, lots of free food and a great experience is by far my favourite Malicious compliance ever! I bet they were really happy and had a great time ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I would absolutely be fired if I had a manager do to me like they did to that cashier about stocking. I can't handle that much stupidity and would have tore into them so hard.
Oh man I get that retail thing so much. I used to work at McDonalds on the drive thru order window. The number one thing I was told on day one of the job was if I had someone in front of me at the payment window, all of my attention had to be on them so I couldn't take orders or do anything else in that time. If things got busy, I was to press this bell on the wall and someone would come in and either take over the payment window or start taking orders. Nobody ever came when I pressed the bell. They were either too busy because it's rush hour or just didn't fucking care. The managers NEVER helped pick up the slack, which was supposed to be one of the things they were meant to do, instead they'd just hide in the office all day on the computer. So I'd have to take an order, tell the next car to wait a moment, take money and give change, next order, next car to wait, take money etc. I'd have cars going around the block on rush times and the manager would have the audacity to come in and either tell me to go faster (most of the time I couldn't because the queue couldn't move due to the delivery window being slow as fuck), or he'd berate me for not doing another job, like mop the floors, doing dive (basically washing a load of shit up because yeah that's Window Ones job as well) or putting the cleaning lobby workers' cloths into the washing machine. Yet if I left the window, he'd tell me off for leaving the window when there's cars. So I'd go back to the window, 5 minutes later he comes in to shout at me for not doing another job. He'd tell me to get some help in, I'd press the bell, no help would come. Then he'd come and have another go at me for not getting any help in. One day I was just done and told him before he could open his mouth if he wasn't coming to help me with the window then he should stay in his fucking office. He can see the cameras, he can SEE THE LINE OF CARS GOING AROUND THE BLOCK and thus knew exactly why I hadn't done XYZ job. I also started just leaning on the help bell as it would make a loud ringing noise which was the help signal. So I would lean on it until someone finally got fucked off enough to come and help. He got pissy with me afterwards, but I wasn't fired for it because he knew I was in the right and he was in the wrong. If the jobs needed doing so direly then he could've done them or taken my headset and served customers whilst I did them.
Wow, made me so mad. Judging by your terms used I'm guessing a UK McDonald's? I'm glad I left the shit hole I worked in for 12 years. Awful job. They literally make you feel worthless.
I love how the last story played out. There are two people out there now who had a beautiful time on a cruise that they probably never thought to dream of. May their memories keep them happy for a Long Long time.
I loved that story but hated the one at 5:15. They weren't criminals! They were trying to stop someone underage from buying drinks. I think the police should've arrested the underage guy trying to buy beer.
13:40 OP must have really long arms if they can grab things in the stock room without leaving the counter. (I turned 16 just before the corona virus outbreak so I haven't worked retail, but I can still picture just how confusing it is to ask someone to get something from a different room without leaving their current position)
Why did the clerk & manager think the thirty-year-old buying beer had a fake ID? No reason was given and I'm dying to know what made them so confident it was fake. It's driving me crazy because I can't think of any possible reason.
rslash things that tick me off: - changes words that he reads (edit: not the demonitization words, like grammar stuff or roles, subtle differences you notice when you read along) - doesn’t show pics from hyperlinks edit:
@Aamn no, the person who commented has a point. I've been wanting to point it out becuase in other stories, he has switch roles (idk if he got confused) so his po sometimes doesnt even match to what the OP was referring. They're not big deals but I've notice his errors are more consistent recently.
The time clock one in this video. OP says they live 5 minutes away from work. Rslash says they live 15 minutes from work. Actually makes a huge difference to that particular story. Sometimes it's just fixing something that's worded awkwardly. Sometimes it makes the story not make sense.
As someone who works for DISH that ATT&T employee kills me. In training we were told to do everything that we could to not close an account because that meant we wouldn't get commission!
I can relate to 10:55 so much. I work as part of an overnight team cleaning the store whilst we juggle orders [24hr fast food]. Because of this it's expected that we keep order times low [sub a minute ideally] whilst getting the place clean for morning handoff. It's a real kick in the balls when you work your ass off to get the entire place clean, whilst taking orders [friday/saturday night 3Am rushes can do one] to have the morning manager complain that you didn't do the extra little jobs you do on slow days out of consideration and convenience. For reference; Overnight staff jobs consist of cleaning levels, floor, rotating stock, checking stock dates, recording waste from that day, handling orders/food production [one person making food, one on the grills/fry vats] and because of our already low staff this workflow is split amongst maybe three staff members on a good day so we have a few high quality staff carrying everything themselves. Eventually after getting comfortable with how things work, picking up good habits from the best staff and trying to be comparable i got into a work flow and how to go about things. I was working more efficiently and got ahead of the old work routine, especially with another staff member who is fantastic at his job, consistently so. Both of us were storming through our work and worked hard to get the place spick and span for the morning, even doing some morning jobs in advance to save them time and make life easier for the morning manager. Absolutely no appreciation/recognition for the effort - not so much as a "thanks". Worse still, it then became expected that I'd meet [even with staff that actively slack and are known to slack] that standard every night. It's gone from a nicety on my behalf to an expectation on theirs and an unreasonable one at that - the night staff are expected to run the store with 5 staff on a good day, autonomously, to a highly clean standard, whilst relieving other people of their responsibilities and juggling orders as they come in and keeping the duration it takes to produce that food down.
8:55 This reminds me of the joke that we used to say at FMFI UK about how a mathematician and a physician cooked an instant soup (the one that comes as a powder in a satchel). Case 1: Everything is stowed at its place. Both take the pot out, put the water in it, put it on the stove, wait for the water to boil, then add the soup. Case 2: The water is already in the pot and boiling. The physician adds the soup. The mathematician quenches the fire, pours the boiling water down the drain and stows the pot away. This way he reduced the problem to case 1 which he already knows how to solve. :D In this AT&T case the customer reduced the problem of him having a fresh account without the perk into a case where he was not a customer so the AT&T clerks knew how to solve his problem :D Regarding the "boxes" this might be necessary as the "new" box had the access codes for the HBO and stuff while the "old" didn't. And being AT&T means they were "hundred years behind the monkeys" so they didn't know how to update a box remotely to match what the customer is supposed to receive.

That story about stocking actually happened to me. I was working at a restaurant and I was supposed to stock up before my shift ended. They would then yell at me for leaving the front counter. I yelled back saying you want the stock up done then you will let me stock up, not complain about how I do it. They never bothered me again. I quit after leaving at our busiest time and never looking back
Small Malicious Compliance story I thought I'd share that happened earlier today. It's short but hilarious at least to my family. My mom asked me to grab her some cheese sticks from the fridge, I was about to just guess how many she wanted and tear off two or three, then I decided to ask her. She responded with "surprise me" and because of all the time I've spent watching Rslash, I instantly did exactly what you think I did. I grabbed the cheese sticks out of the drawer with tearing any off or even counting before I went to give them to her. I think I gave her like 7 lol Can I ask you to say hi to Yugo for me Rslash? Your vids, especially the ones that Yugo features in, are like 72% of what's getting me through this quarantine.
One of my brother's friends went out for his 18th birthday, the bouncer thought it was "very convenient" that his ID said his 18th birthday was that day, and wouldn't let him in.
I went to the store to buy my dad some Wine he wanted to, something specific, I was with two bottles in my hands, he's a big drinker. This happened not shortly after I became 20, arrived at the cash register, the lady looks me in the face saying "aren't you too young for this?"; "oh, don't worry, they're for my dad, I don't drink much" I replied, then she goes "Oh sure you don't, let me see some I.D. kid" I proceeded to show her my Identification that I had on me, and she wouldn't even believed it, goes on saying "I don't believe you, it's for the camera anyway, so they see I asked for it in case anything happens" I walked out of the store feeling all beautiful because I looked way younger for my age
They're going high tech nowadays. In my town they have a machine the clerk puts your ID into. If it doesn't check out as legit the register won't allow the sale to be made. Of course that means even my 70 year old self needs a valid ID, but the fines for selling to underage are so massive it's the smart way for them to go.
I had a moment similar to that one where they were supposed to restock but not leave the counter except it was in a factory, I was a material handler and was told I couldn't use my storage area to store parts. I kept bringing them anyways. When the supervisor over that area started bitching at me I looked him square in the eye and said, "Well, why don't you just shit me a place to put all the incoming parts in then since you obviously think you have the power to make them magically have a place". He never bothered me about where I stored parts again. I think it must have been the first time someone had actually challenged one of his stupid commands and he simply had no answer for it.
I wish the the militar couple would have given the name of the cruise line. I hate it when vets are taken advantage of. But sending two homeless people in the cruise was brilliant. God bless, thank you so much for your service.
That first one seems really over-petty. From what I've seen, the 15 minute rounding is pretty normal at hourly positions, and while there is a potential for you to be off by 2.5 hours per week, the wide margins around timeblocks mean that will not happen unless you're actually late/early for every single clock in. If you are within a 15 minute window of the correct time, its marked correct. This almost always leads to employees accumulating extra hours on their time cards. OP also got rubbed the wrong way by being asked to clock out when leaving work to go home and let their kids in. Clocking out when leaving the site is standard procedure, and it's absolutely not abnormal for a manager to remind someone to do it, especially since OP has objectively demonstrated that they are the type of person to fudge clock in and clock out times for their own benefit. Pretty sure this is just a spoiled salary worker that's salty they have to live with hourly procedures now.
So true! Every job I've had has the 15 minute rounding. It's the company's fault that he doesn't understand it? Plus what company let's their employees clock-in 7 minutes late or early? This is why managers are also on punch in and out because some people want to abuse the situation. Most places don't even allow early punch-ins before 5 minutes. And some places count you as late even if by 1 minute. Every job has different procedures and things you like and don''t like. A lot of places can't afford or have the man power to have an employee just leave during their shift. I think they were really understanding about his situation but of course it's the company that doesn't care cuz they aren't paying him. Ugh met so many guys like him in the food industry
@@ciarangale4738 scammed how? The guy, who works hourly, tallied up his time on his own and wanted to leave based on numbers that nobody else had. "I'm going home early, I've done enough work this week. Says me."
That last one that could have backfired for the cruise line big time. Screwing over military people during war time that can really hurt a companies reputation real badly. It can be a real bad PR move

For the AT&T story I totally understand - stupid corporate policy plus employees who just want to do their jobs and go home will lead to these kinds of situations quite often.
"Go stock up in the back. But don't leave the counter!" What kind of mindfuck was that supervisor trying to pull? Surely not even the most clueless idiot of a boss would think that someone could be in two places at the same time.
My mom used to be a tram driver and wouldn't respect speed limits because the trams would speed up to quickly and you would very soon after have to hit the brakes which caused trams to overheat quickly and break. One day her company got a speeding ticket from the tram she was driving and her boss wasn't happy about it. He berated her about how she must respect the speed limitand how not respecting it was dangerous and expensive for the company because of the speeding tickets. She tries to explain to him that her respecting the speed limit would be more expensive for the company because of all the broken trams it would cause. Her boss didn't want to listen and said she would be fired if she didn't respect the speed limit. So she did. The boss gave up after the 5th broken tram.
When managers give you contradictory orders: just start discreetly recording on a phone asking them questions about how to preform the contradictory instructions.
That last story I feel actually happy about that because those homeless people got to clean up, have fun, and eat some good food so the malicious compliance did some good. 👍 😃
@@japanpanda2179 but they broke the law they broke his ID as the cops said a misdemeanor so really it's in the guys right to call the cops and have them arrested
Thats a goddam quiet day at the office for the cops. 4 squad cars and following through with a charge against a store owner on a non-emergency call. They had absolutely nothing better to do.
I had the ID thing done to me when I was 28. Until I hit 30, I looked like a teenager, and you should have seen the guys face when the ‘teenager’ pulled out her phone and called the police about stolen documents, as my husband and three kids arrived to find out what the hold up was.
