r/Prorevenge Steal My Food? Lose Your Business! 

Jane: “Screw you! I’m retiring!” Sandy: “Okay, happy retirement. Here’s your final paycheck and your personal belongings.” Jane: “(Shocked Pikachu Face)”

Loved loved loved that last story. There are RU-vid channels where the creator plays along with these scams, then end up doing various things to the scammers such as locking them out, wiping their computer, etc. So satisfying to watch as the scammer has a meltdown.

On the fast food scam, I got an employee at a gas station fired for the same thing. Idiot didn't give change on a $1.59 drink when I gave him $2. He didn't ring the sale into the register. I was a compliance auditor for corporate

Story 3: It's pretty satisfying when you give a scammer what they deserve for being scammers

The first time they got a virus, it should've been the warning that "hey, this is an IT person. Maybe I shouldn't mess with them!"

Story 3 reminds me of when I used to work in a movie theatre in 2017. An employee was fired because of something exactly like this. She was in charge of ticket sales. Instead of giving the entire ticket to the customer, she’d rip off one half of the ticket (what’s usually ripped off when you’re admitted into the theatre) and would then sell that same half to another customer, pocketing the money. Not sure how long she got away with it but eventually the loss in revenue was noticed and all it took was looking at the handy cameras that pointed RIGHT AT THE EMPLOYEE to figure out what was causing the problem.

When I worked delivering pizzas, it was back when you had to have the customer sign the receipt if they paid by credit card. It was incredibly common that if the customer left the tip space blank, some drivers would write in their own tip. The smart (though unethical) ones would only add a few dollars and different amounts each time. The less bright ones would write in $10 or $20 every time and get caught really quickly. If you’re ever signing a credit/debit card receipt, and you’re not leaving a tip using the card, make sure to write in $0.00 or “cash” and fill in the total line so that if you tip with cash, the server, barista, driver, or their manager can’t double-dip and steal from you.

fast food story: reminds me when I worked at a donut shop. no outright stealing money but the husband of the owner was "special". one time when someone took donuts for a customer from the front instead of the back, the entire tray of donuts fell to the floor. the owner's husband put all the donuts in the trash on top of fresh coffee grinds, took the trash to the back room, then took the donuts out of the trash and back on a new tray to be put back out on display to sell. (this was in the mid 90's, and the display had the tray's at an angle to show off the product, if you took donuts from the front it would cause things to slide right down and onto the floor)

Two weeks ago I got a phone call similar to the last story. As with the OP, I too do not have any Apple products. I was short tempered that day and just said, " You're a f***ing scammer. Go the the very hot place" and hung up.

Story 1: Don't say things you don't actually mean. I bet the Karen didn't think that through

So Jane neither asked permission nor begged forgiveness. Don’t make empty threats against someone who can make you stand by your written word 😂

God I've had someone take a picture of my debit card in a drive thru. I know it happened there because right after handing him the card I see him look at his co worker and say watch this. He disappear for 10 seconds then come back handing me my card fast, basically throwing the food to me, telling me have a good day then closing the window. I had a 4 hour drive to my house, it was my first Christmas in that house. I woke up Christmas day and checked my bank account. $-250, I had close to $1000 in total but it was all wiped dry. My mind instantly made the connection since that was the only place I used that card at the previous day and remembered how suspicious the guy was acting

I remember hearing audio of a guy screwing over a scammer, it might have even been on this channel. Apparently launching a script of some kind that just started deleting things from the scammers system, until the scammer disconnected lol.

Props to the first OP for setting up Jane in a position where she wouldn't be able to pull the lawsuit nonsense

R/Slash is a rebel! Side note: I do menu costs as part of my job, and your shouldn’t feel guilty about that 4th tomato slice as it’s probably under $.05 (even now with rising costs.)

Trolling scammers seem like fun thing to do

With all the times we hear things like "My shopping here pays your salary", "this place would fall apart without me", "this store needs my money", or anything like that, it makes me think that Karens are so self important that they actually believe they are needed by others, and if they leave/stop spending money/quit/etc, it would cause the place to fall apart. And the more stories I hear, the more I think the Karen mindset should be seen as a mental health risk.

I love listening to your podcasts on Spotify while I'm working (they let me listen to music with one earbud) and it makes me feel better hearing how many people deal with jerks and how they get rid of them

In college I worked at a local sub shop chain that told me to do the same thing as the tomatoes, but with the cheese. I would always put the correct amount but if the manager came by and saw me do that he'd take one slice off.

The last story reminded me of a while ago when some random guy with an Indian accent kept calling my home and asking for me directly. I kept telling him I wasn't interested in what he was selling but he kept calling, and on the fourth time calling, I "threatened" to call the cops in his area if he ever called back, since I knew where he was located from a google search of his phone number and found out where the area code was from (New York). He hung up and they never called again!

Dude, that's wild. I worked at a fast food restaurant where the managers got busted for fudging numbers. We were listed at 17th in the nation at the time.

I had a coworker while working at the college food court who stole like $400 by not ringing people up when they gave exact change. He got caught when someone wanted a refund and asked for a manager because they weren't given a receipt. Same employee also threatened to fight me because I told him off for not being at his station. He was watching a basketball game in the student lounge while his coworker was struggling and I had to man his and my register.

When I was working a fast food place in the 90s, they had ancient registers. There was an unlabeled 20% discount button that a guy in the drive thru used to grab over $1,000 in a month. Unfortunately for him, all all discounts were listed on the check out tape.

These always make me feel better both ways. Revenge, and not being the sucker to get said revenge. Tastes so good!

I was refreshing my RU-vid looking for this vid lmao

And the opposite to the employees in the 2nd story is that one Mcdonald employee who gave out 11 mcnuggets for each 10 piece he served

(This is when I was working at a grocery store) One of the most unethical things a boss told me was that if a customer orders anything organic, but we're out of that item, to get the regular equivalent, but charge them the organic price

I love r/prorevenge. It makes me feel better living out my revenge fantasies through other people.

Story 1: LOL Jane really thought she was going to steal all those clients!

This pro revenge in story 4 needs to be a service. I would gladly pay for my calls to be routed to someone who was good at f**king with these people.

Sandy's petty additions to her revenge are HILARIOUS. She made sure Jane couldn't hide her retirement LOL

Did you hear about the guy whose entire left side was cut of? He's all right now.

Fast food story = Karen does good for a change

3rd story: 25 years back, when I started to work, there was something similar we caught on totally on accident: collaborators of the store were entitled to vouchers they could redeem for 2 drinks and 1 meal per day and, surprise surprise, peoples who were not entitled to those vouchers were using them, so we got to secretly videotape what was happening on all the cash registers of the food court... we got our evidences about the vouchers abuses... we also got other evidences: 1 cashier was cashing in without computing some of the meals and of course, wasn't giving receipt for those. (She was in fact computing in but annulling the transaction right after she got the total). Then, a few times a day, she was counting her cash register to retrieve just the right amount of "surplus" money before turning the cash fund at the end of her shift... once we caught on her, we did check for a full month the full extend of her skimming... trust me, watching videotapes while double checking the receipt roll was a chore and an half... in the end, we could prove that in 1 month, or 22 worked days on her part, she did skim the equivalent of 28000$ (it wasn't in the US)... for some reasons, after her being fired for causes (duh...), the registered income substantially increased in the food court... more recently, the manager of one of the restaurant did the same... in the end, when everything was calculated (computers hold way more footprints than the old paper receipt rolls), they were sued for over 2M$ (same, not in the US) and the court acknowledged about 1,5M$ restaurants are probably the most scammed (scammable) businesses by their employees... until someone start to pay attention

That drive through story i had a semi similar situation. For my graduation gift i got a $200 gift card to Dairy Queen and i still had $50 left on it. The drive through employee kept the card from me saying it was empty. And they refused to give me a recipet. I kept demanding for it back till they gave it back. I ended up paying with my debt card. I was so pissed off i wanted to call up dairy queen to complain but i had no recipet so i had no way to know who was working at what time.

Many years ago (mid 70's) I worked in a bakery in a mall. Someone who was a friend of the boss was in, and say one of my co workers make a sale at one end of the counter for, say, $5.00. The customer gave her the money and left. The co worker waqlked over to the register, rang in a $2.00 sale and put the extra money in her pocket. The friend told my boss, who then had her watched for several weeks, when she was arrested for theft. This co worker had worked at this bakery for years, and they discovered she'd stolen THOUSANDS! Her only reply? "It was so easy to do".

the fast food, money stealing story: I live in Europe, and a funny practice here (I live in Poland now) is that they overcharge my card - the moment they overcharge a card, they can claim it as a mistake and return cash to the customer, but if we do not look at the amount they charge us and we do not pick up the receipt, we cannot claim it later, so that money is just pocketed at the end of the day, when they compare the total sold, vs the money received by card and cash, and they pocket the difference...if iregularity appears between the card records and cash records, they claim they overcharged by mistake on cst card and they returned by cash... if cst pays by cash, the product may cost 5.98 but we pay 6 and in big shops, that amount easily gets nice enough to have your meal that day

My boy out here uno reversing scammers. A hero, an icon, they are the moment ✨👌

Last story. I had been receiving regular calls from my 'isp', saying that my router had reported issues with my computer. Now while I am not a tech, I am not comp illiterate. So after the first few calls, where I would ask bogus 'tech' questions about the problem, I finally just resorted to asking "What's my name?". I would usually get a 'what?'. "Well, if you have my account open, you must know what my name is". Took about 6 or 7 weeks of this to finally make them realise they should stop. Reported the calls to my genuine isp, but obviously no follow up.

That last story, that has to be the dumbest scammer I've ever heard of, and he kept coming back for more!

Last story is a good deal. I've done things like that before. The longer they spend trying and failing to scam me the less time they have to scam Grandma.

There are SO many ways an entire fast food restaurant could make a few extra bucks off the mega corporation they're slaving away for, especially if the manager has in on it. And they chose to steal money out of people's pockets? Childish.

Second and third story: If I worked there, to avoid problems I won't do what they tell me, take evidence in case and report them, if I get fired as retaliation also sue for illegal termination.

Oh god i used to be a subway employee but instead of the tomatoes our store owner was adamant about "only 6 olives per footlong"... like what!?

That last one, that's called doing public service! Taking a scammer down for any amount of time is helpful to everybody!!!

In relation to your story about Subway, the most unethical thing I experienced at a location was a tin of turkey being dropped on the floor and the manager screaming at me to put it back and continue serving it 🤢

Story 2: Similar thing happened to my Grandma. Receipt said one price, screen said the same price, guy at the window made her pay 2 bucks more

As someone who is from BC, Canada it was fun to hear a story where I understood all the small details. 😂

As a Security+ certified SysAdmin of nearly 15 years, I must strongly caution against the last story. Yes, certainly, the scammer deserved to have their equipment mucked with for scamming people regularly. Scamming is a real asshole thing to do and I'm all for the justice this scammer got. However, that said... if you're gonna go down the path of intentionally damaging files and hardware not belonging to you using viruses of different types, then by lawful definition, that's felony territory. Cyber-related crimes are under the jurisdiction of the FBI because issues can quickly cross international borders with other countries and be open to interpretation by those governing bodies. Damaging someone else's computer (or both their computer & network, depending on the virus's payload) quickly takes the situation out of your hands, out of your local police's hands, and right to the FBI to figure out how severe the case is and the damage you've done before most likely passing it back to your local police to file charges against you. And people fail to realize that cyber-related crimes rack-n-stack, unlike most other regular crimes. What I mean is... If you rob a homeowner or a bank, that's a singular charge of burglary. Gaining access to someone's computer when you shouldn't have it and changing files can actually be MANY misdemeanors and/or felonies, depending on what happens. For example, merely attempting to log in and gaining access to a computer you don't own and shouldn't be on is a misdemeanor level charge. Manipulating files on that computer is another misdemeanor charge. Accessing multiple external accounts logged into that PC when you shouldn't is a separate misdemeanor charge for EACH account you access. The very second you view data in those other accounts, that's unauthorized access to private and/or protected information, yet another misdemeanor charge. If you change any data or send any message on those accounts, it's a misdemeanor for each situation for unauthorized manipulation of network data related to that specific account. And finally, we get to the usage of viruses and whatnot to cause havoc or damage. That's not misdemeanor level, that's felony territory. The law states that those computer actions that require planning and execution to wrongfully manipulate or damage a computer and/or network are felony territory because of the nefarious level of planning and execution required. Committing cyber-related felonies can royally screw your life up and prevent you from accessing any business or government computer or network again. Would any employer want to hire someone who has multiple misdemeanors and felonies for inappropriate computer use?

I love that Dabney’s rebellion is just insisting on being nice to people lol

The girl who complained for being shorted did a great thing for introverts all around. Some people are too scared to mention a problem.

The second story, I worked a Tim-Hortons for 6 years. We had a team leader who trained many different cashiers and such, and she had a legal way to scan the customers. She would purposely give out as much small change as possible so that the customer would most likely leave it (as a tip) because he/she didn’t want that many coins. Fun fact, employees at Tim-Hortons are not supposed to get any tips at all. The customer is allowed to leave their dime if they don’t want it, but the employees are actually not allowed to keep it. Our bosses let us as long as there wasn’t a problem, but it still is illegal.

My uncle used to do the same thing when he was a manager at Wendy's. He raised the price of every meal by 10 cents for the drive-through. You order 3 items. He just pockets 30 cents. He'd walk out with a picket full of cash every morning and deposit it into his bank account when he was doing the drop for the night before. He got fired for scaming something like 80 grand and Wendy's prices at that location jumped.

One (of many) tells of a scammer: they are always pushy and derogatory. They don’t want you to think about it.

The line of Joe Pesci in lethal weapon 2 “ THEY FUCK YOU AT THE DRIVE THRU “ring even louder now .

That second story is absolutely commonplace in the industry I'm an area director for a well-known fast food franchise however the part that I don't believe much of is that the higher up manager told the customer all of the consequences and repercussions that came after the fact that's highly unprofessional and borderline illegal to discuss termination records and you know just wrong to discuss the fallout of disciplinary proceedings

Lieface Vacation Retirement: I love the way the Jane story was handled. It was beautiful! Boomeranged on her! Karma: You're welcome!

Way back when I was young and dumb I pocketed some money from my fast food job. But it was never at the expense of the customer. We had a broken screen that would allow me to clear the order before it was finished. So if they paid in exact change I’d clear the order after the kitchen made it and cancel it after the customer gave me the money. I never got caught and I never had a customer complain about an order, just lucky I guess.

That last story: now I want all of us to have a spare computer with the same type of setup....imagine how quickly we could end scammers all together.

I think the only thing I've ever done at my job that's considered a No-No would be the fact that I gave out birthday Awards to customers who were a day late because the app doesn't allow for it. I mean not everybody is available on their birthday I feel like that reward should roll over a couple of days right? So whenever I can I make my customers day by giving them their birthday reward if they're just shy a day

Thanks for the stories rslash. I guess people will try anything to get a little extra money. Have a good morning

(giggles) The scammer put through the ringer...! Got one, forget what they said, but within a few words, I most certainly KNEW it was a scam. "SCAM!" I declared loudly, and disconnected. (pouting) No one ever called ME back multiple times...!

throwing viruses onto computer scammers is truly pro revenge.

Man, that last story reads like the scammer met a master software engineer, and I loved to hear every bit of it. Playing the same game against deplorable people like them is nothing less than they deserve.

I messed with a scammer's head by, of all things, pretending to be a *morgue.*

jim browning and scammer payback would be proud of that last one

Speaking of pro revenge on scammers, the channel scammer payback does just that, and he knows where these dirtbags are located. Right down to the building floor.

I know how to stop dishonest people from ripping off people at fast food places...make it an up front policy that even ONE time of that happening intentionally would be grounds for immediate dismissal and termination of employment, no exceptions.

My favourite phone scam is when they say that someone bought X amount of money on gift cards using my credit card, and they want to know if I want to dispute it. I don't have a credit card. When I say so, they hang up on me.

I work at Subway, there is no set amount of tomatoes to put on, it just needs to be end to end so I don't understand why Rslash’s boss would say not to put on 4 tomatoes unless they were like... Huge tomatoes and he was drowning the sandwich in tomato

All of these stories are extremely satisfying, and the narration "Dabney style ", is so entertaining! The 3rd story about revenge on scammers is awesome, especially the part about the fake credit card site!

TBH in the first story I'd be more on the side of Jane. It looks like a very toxic work environment where you don't get paid time off and unpaid time off gets rejected often enough she had to resort requesting time off in "secret". It also shouldn't matter why an employee takes time off. Whether they go to Vegas, they take care or relatives, or just want to stay home for a few days... Also, if you accept the resignation of an employee, you also need to send a notice back to them rather than ambushing them when they come to work.

I totally love how proud you sounded, because you put in 1 extra slice of tomato. 😂

Story 3: I love messing with scammers. Especially when they're duct cleaners.

Last time I got a scam call telling me I'd bought an iPhone 13 from Amazon I told them that yes I had. And I was very happy that Amazon was taking the time to ensure I was happy with the purchase. The guy tried to get me to "confirm the purchase" by downloading an app to my phone. I just said that I had Amazon open on my laptop and it looked all good to me, why were you asking? He started shouting when I wouldn't download anything and I acted all meek and was like "why are you shouting at me? 🥺🥺" It was very fun

The drive thru one reminds me of something that happened the last time I went on vacation. Before we left we went to the Arby's in town that my brother worked at to eat before a long drive. It possibly sounds like a Karen moment I'm not sure. My stepsister & her husband's order was taking a while & we found out the guy trashed her order & receipt(maybe just just the receipt & didn't do the order, I don't remember if I fully heard) so they couldn't do anything about their order & was being an ass about it. The MIL/grandma of the family that was going on vacation with us went to the counter & scolded the guy for his attitude & actions, my sister & her husband got their order with a little dessert as an apology. Probably made worse when one guy came over to apologize then tell me he'd be coming over to my mom's place to help with the water heater(we were having issues with it at the time). It was probably awkward to explain to the MIL that scolded someone that he was my brother's friend & then learn the person that didn't get their order some how was his friend's stepsister especially since my dad has come to say hi to my brother at work sometimes.

Before the pandemic happened, I used to update company records (electronically) in an office downtown. (I work from home these days) ^_^ On the way to said office, I used to pick up a footlong sandwich at a Subway that was a couple of blocks away on the way to work. When a new branch opened up across the street from the workplace, I decided to give it a try. Unlike the other branch, this new one was *super skimpy* with their toppings. >_< Needless to say, I only went there twice - the second time was to drop off an angry letter to the manager about the terrible service that I'd received. I don't know if that bad branch is still open these days but, if not, I hope that the employees and manager learned their lesson. Never screw a customer when it comes to their food.

1st story: I wonder if the old boss of the business knows the story, seriously, that person deserves to know as well!.

Your last story... There are a few YT channels that these guys hack into the Scammers computer & do exactly what this lady did. Most of the time these scammers are scoping out the elderly. Theres even one guy who has the ability to see who these scammers have tricked & had money taken from their bank accounts. He helps these people by canceling those bank draws & goes to bat for them with their banks.

You wanna talk about terrible managers? I had a thought come to me abut one of the managers I had at the last job I had ((you'l see why she was so terrible....)). Situation 1: I was working in the back, cutting up apples with the apple cutter, to put with meals, right? I don't know/remember how exactly it happened, but SOMEHOW my thumb got caught in the blades ((yeah, you can see where this is going, right?)) and I cut the ever loving daylights out of it. I ran---well, speed walked---over to my manager and the conversation goes as follows: Me: *slightly panicking, holding bleeding thumb* Um...Manager? I was cutting the apples as you asked and I'm, uh, *bleeding* . Her: *glances up at me, then at my thumb* Go wash it off in the sink, wrap it with a bandage, and get back to work ((Okay, I get she was trying to keep the thing going, but lady....your employee is *BLEEDING* ....show a little more emotion, honey...)).". Had to go to the hospital and get it skin glued back together. Situation 2: Same boss, different month. You know that spray decoration that you put up on a window for Christmas? We got complaints that somebody had drawn... *ahem* ... male parts....on the window instead of snowflakes, trees, and whatnot. Of COURSE, when I come out from doing my work in the back, who do they immidiately blame? You guessed it. *ME* . I got irritated and snapped ((not my best look, I admit)) that how could I have possibly done it, when I was in the back and in the *walk in freezer* at the time of said body parts being put on the window. They then discovered that, uh-oh! Black sheep is standing up for herself! NOW what do we do?!!?. They then tried to blame it on me, AGAIN, and I stood firm with the whole, you know, "It wasn't ME, that did it, stop being a butthole and admit you did it!!". They never admitted to it, obviously. 🤦 BUT, this story has a happy ending, though. My mom was with her trainer and was complaining about the second situation to him, when another member of the gym, she was at, overheard the conversation. He wanted to know everything that my boss did/said/wrongfully blamed me for and my mom asked him why. Turns out, he was my boss's boss. Take a wild guess what happened next. *FIRED* !!!

I had issues with a local Mcdonald's and found out what company owned this particular franchise location and went to their office in the next state over and got everything resolved.

Scammer: **Scams OP** OP: *"YOU DARE OPPOSE ME, MORTAL?!"*

To the guy who scammed the scammers: PLEASE get in contact with kitboga and see if yall can collab to destroy some other scammers lmfao

Scamming the scammers is so fun😂 in germany we have a guy aka "CallcenterFun" And he f'd up so many fake- companies, the have ALL heard about him. On the Phone he mostly answer with "hello, my name is Carl Centa-Fuhn" And mostly they hang up bc they already know that he is about to rip them up 😂😂

You can always fuck with scammers. It's always morally correct. Wasting their time, sending them viruses, any thing to piss them off and make sure they have less time to scam other people is always a good deed.

With that last one a better thing to do is put a spyware virus in the file. You can send the spyware info to one of the groups that work internationally with police to disrupt these operations.

I worked at a pizza place once during college. There was this one guy that right before closing he would take orders for pizzas but not enter them into the system and pocket the money. Sometimes ppl would place massive orders right before we closed so you do the math. He also stole bags of frozen chicken wings that he would sneak out the back door in a trash can and hide behind the dumpster until he was off. After work he would swing around and grab them. Said wings he would proceed to sell to ppl in his neighborhood. Very creative guy and never caught 10/10.

but its 6 slices of tomato for a footlong... lol honestly the one that always got me was that it was only 6 olives for a footlong, people would look at me crazy and id follow up with a handful on there.

Jim Browning would be proud of the guy in the last story

That last one is pretty common. It's called scambaiting, and there are RU-vid channels and forums you can find if you want to see more stories like this or even join the fun for yourself. I recommend Jim Browning's YT channel in particular.

I managed a Subway in the early 90's Tampa FL area..A young worker also worked at the nearby same plaza Winn Dixie which had a coupon that was printed on the store receipt for $1.00 off a Foot long sub..well that guy STOLe a whole roll of register tape from the Winn Dixie, cut out the $1.00 off coupons and every sub he rang up he did the buck off and pocked the dollar!! I knew something was up as the coupons had no printing on the back of them!! I figured it out and caught him!!! Several other employees were in on it!! One night a worker who told me I was going to hell for being gay he was black and called me a white devil but that's a whole different story..anyway this clown called me at 11pm said he was robbed and went home..did not call the Police just went home..I arrived and looked at the video tapes and he and his friends came behind the counter made subs took all the cash and locked up then left! I called police we had to go to court and the thug only had to pay restitution no jail! Darn legal system!

That last one is doing justice to the Kitboga Jim browning gods

Story 3: I hate ordering at drive thu windows since my order always gets messed up. Easier to just order on the app for whatever food place I’m going to and stops any shenanigans like this.

No Rslash your not a rebel, your a honest guy, a good husband and a great father.

I always answer scam calls with "(random town) police department. How may I direct your call?" Works every time

Story 3: What's funny is that the next video RU-vid is recommending to me is Kiboga; if you want more of this delicious scammer revenge, definitely check out his channel!

Funny story.. I worked for a company that the fruit brand partnered with to do technical troubleshooting. I was a level 2 rep. I got the same call about my account getting hacked. I told them that we would never contact a customer unless they setup a call from us. I also explained that I worked for them. I got hung up on real quick.

Which one of these stories was the "Steal My Food, Lose Your Business" story? Because the first one was about Jane, the second one was about $2 at the drive-through, and the last one was about a scammer.

I don't throw around the word hero often but the last dude helped a lot of people

anyone else think stopping Jane from claiming unemployed benefits is a step too far? At that point she's out of your life, why make her life worse out of spite?
