Story 4: OP was willing to sacrifice some of their productivity so other employees could have a fair shot a bonus, and the new boss decided to shut that down. Sure, he was under pressure from his boss, but still. Good thing that OP showed how it would hurt the team
I'm always reminded of the movie big, with the scene about not making others look bad by getting too much done. It's kinda true in that if you go all out 100%, employers think that's your basic 50-60% effort.
Honestly, I got serious 'that guy' vibes from this post. Massively inflated sense of self worth, basically a delusional narcissist. Every workplace has one and they're all insufferable.
The crypto market is highly profitable with an expert broker just like Mrs Linda Marie Boney, I got recommended to her and since then my financial life has been a success
Same here, I earn $55,000 in 2weeks. GOD bless Linda Marie Boney , she has been a blessing to my family
@Paul Silver THANKS A LOT I HAVE CONTACTED HER NOW AND SHE RESPONDED.
Story 1: I really hate the "you know what [Person]" line that people say because no, we don't. If she wanted boneless wings in the calzone, *she could've just mentioned that she wanted the wings to be boneless,* not just say that she wants wings in the calzone and expect the chef to take the bones out
We're not psychics, be as specific as possible
I dunno, I find it somewhat criminally negligent to include the bones even if that was what she requested.
I've never worked food/retail because of bs customers like this..
I say do u c what I mean? That way there is lil 2 no issues
Kept reading psychics as physics and don't know why
OP clearly knew what the customer wanted, OP refused to confirm whether they wanted bones and specifically said "are you sure you want *wings*" OP intentionally set them up.
Thats not malicious compliance, thats just malicious
Story 1: I hate it when some places have a spineless manager who doesn’t stick up for their staff (when they’re in the right) against rude customers. It’s why some people never learn to be polite to retail/hospitality staff. There’s always one place that will STILL give them a refund/make them new food/apologise/let them have their own way 🙄
I had too many encounters with that! The stories I could tell!
And it's that one business that will set the standard for _all_ others with these stuck-up grunts who were never told no during their entire childhoods. It's become an epidemic across all work industries, not just for retail and restaurants but also even communal services like schools, hospitals and emergency response. The less these people get punished for their entitlement, the more they will continue doing what they do until they cross someone who's egotistic enough to respond to their behavior with violence.
As modern civilizations, we've failed to enforce baseline parental disciplining required to be deemed progressive and empathic, and now we not only suffer the consequences through entitlement and illogical hypocrisy but also revert to extremist conservative values. It's so bad that people can't tell right from wrong anymore, lacks respect and rationality, and even casually brush off serious issues as hoaxes or jokes/pranks.
This behavior is what breeds karens and managers that do this should not be expected to be competent enough to delegate a team 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃
"GET ME WHAT I ORDERED!"
"But...."
"DID I STUTTER!?"
"Here's your order."
"HOW DARE YOU GIVE ME EXACTLY WHAT I ORDERED! YOU SHOULD HAVE KNOWN WHAT I ACTUALLY MEANT!"
Yeah like I went out to eat and ordered a salad. When my food arrived what did they give me a salad! When I said salad I meant steak! How could they not know!?
He wanted it 🅱️ oneless
YA'LL PUT BONES IN THEIR STUFF xD
Princess wanted OP to de-bone it for her instead of doing it herself
This has the same energy as the trashy women who says how they want something, gets upset about when their BF's buy it for them, then goes on social media to rant about it for all their friends to see. That's some despicably manipulative and gaslighting behavior. Such widespread and weaponized entitlement should be criminally punishable, and the way it isn't already says a lot about our governance. It's no wonder that racism, sexism and victim blaming is still such a common issue - we're basically regressing on a social level.
Man, imagine your entire family refusing to let you forget that time you badmouthed your cousin to get more brownie points even though it’s been twelve years.
It’s karma for doing it, not admitting fault, and not apologizing
@@lorilancaster5917 Oh, absolutely! That’s what made that MC so sweet; it’s completely on the cousin.
@@animeotaku307 plus I don’t she wants to admit because she’ll be admitting to being ableist. Either way hope the MC continues for at least another 12 years
You mean, "... refusing to let you forget *BECAUSE YOU HAVE NOT APOLOGIZED.* "
Honestly, that story cracked me up. I absolutely LOVED it. The younger cousin got caught lying. She deserves what is happening to her.
Story 1: crazy that OP got fired tbh, they complied with the customer and confirmed with them what they wanted
Ikr fire the Manager.
Management be stupid
And I bet the manager comp the meal
Managers shouldn't BE managers if they can't grow backbones against customers like this.
Maybe OP had several incidents before this, but could also just be one of those spineless managers too
On the Cyprus story, I was wondering why they were still punishing for something she did when she was 14... and then that ending where she refuses to admit what she did wrong or apologize. Yeah, keep puling on those dishes.
it would all be over if she just swallows her pride. and that's why its one of the 7 deadly sins.
Yeah not one of the seven deadly sins are bad, until you can’t let go of them. Pride will kill you if you can’t let go of it and learn to be humble
@@dustypaladin9216 Each sin can be used as motivation, it's when you let them consume you that there's a problem, there are plenty of people who've made change in the world or made their lives better out of spite or just to be lazy.
To be honest, when it first said boneless pizza, I thought it meant pizza without the crust. Whenever my family got pizza, sometimes they would give the crust to the dogs, and they called the crust “the bones”.
We call the crust the pizza bone in my family too 😂
My brother's kids called the crust pizza bones, too! I thought that was funny. Kinda neat your family did the same!
We've always called the crust "the bones" of a pizza. As in, "Dang! You must've been hungry. You ate that pizza, bones and all!"
My tribe! We feed the dogs the pizza bones too 🤣
Story 3: Malicious Compliance becoming Eternal Punishment? Loved it.
A punishment of their own making at that! LOL
The entire family are all in on it now XD
and the best part, is to end the punishment all the cousin needs to do is apologize! its a punishment of their own making!
With the first story, if it was me as the customer, and my daughter (If I had one) ordered something like that, I'd be "oh, sorry, guess we should've been more specific" and re-ordered it or something and then move on.
Employees comply with what is ordered, plain and simple, and it isn't like you can expect people to cater to your _intent_ like they can read your mind. Their job is not to pamper you, but to go with what everyone is ordering and keep up the pace.
Also, there was _ANOTHER_ malicious compliance story, involving pizza as well, where a much more low-key place _tried to_ comply with the "spirit over the law" of what the customer was ordering, a well done pizza, but ignored his specification of "5 minutes over" because that would burn it, and when he arrived and picked up his good pizza, he got angry and _made_ them do it "the way that I ordered", even though that DID burn it.
There's no winning with some people, so I go on the side of the employees in cases like this.
As much as I’m happy for op’s bank revenge saying you cost Bank of America $8000 is like saying you cost a multi millionaire $10
It’s true but anytime you can pull one over on a big corporation like them, it’s a win for us little guys. Lol
considering that they're still penny pinchers though, OP will have them at least feel sour about it for a day or so. that in and of itself is also a little bit of deserved karma :)
@@phoenix402 I agree was just saying how it’s a shame that it wasn’t more
yes this is true. but it is also true that most millionaires would have raged over the loss of those $10. also isn't some of that $8000 coming from OP? so OP saved some money by screwing over a greed bank!
It's like that story I've heard of a cruise ship corporation that dumps all their garbage into the ocean, and the fines they get are actually cheaper than disposing of their garbage the legal way. All that's done is enabling their environmental pollution so they could make an even greater profit. Ideally they should be forced to pay the legal disposing cost _on top of_ the fine, so that way they have no choice but to do things the right way in order to stay afloat (pun intended).
the worst thing about the pizza story is because of the "the customer is always right" food service policy OP literally couldn't say no to the absolutely stupid order without basically getting fired anyway
Classic "Damned if you do, damned if you don't" scenario. Might as well had quit on the spot and saved themselves the headache if they'd known that the outcome would be the same. Would've made a nice r/Antiwork post and sent a rough message to the business at the same time.
In addition to "never mess with IT" and "don't cut down other people's trees" the third rule is "new managers should leave things the way they are until they are totally familiar with how everything works and why."
Story 1: Tbh, I'll be laughing WITH OP if I were the manager. I mean, she did say she wants chicken wings, not chicken MEAT. Manager is a butthole for firing OP for confirming what they said though. Stand up for your employees dude, jeez!
Meat from the chicken wings. She probably wanted it de-boned
@@RedK5 Well, they asked for chicken wings on it, not chicken wing meat. Honestly, the manager is just a spineless coward, who cannot even get the courage to tell the customer that they got what they asked for, and it was confirmed by an employee that they wanted chicken wing, not just the meat.
@@natureboy2711 I was just clarifying that she meant chicken wing meat. That person said chicken meat. It's actually different
What I'm bafflewed with is that he was just the server, the cooks were in on it too! Did THEY get fired??
Spineless employers will always exist as long as they're not pressured by unions and/or religiously operate by the outdated policy "the customer is always right". That's why big brands like Amazon and Starbucks should be boycotted on a definite scale due to their horrible working conditions and mistreatment of employees, coupled with how harshly they respond to any attempts at being unionized. If they don't value the people working for them, they don't deserve to be in business.
Story1: that boss must have been a hard ass, total polar opposite of my friends boss who delt with a karen who attempted to get their new waiter to put none boneless wings in her calzone to get a free meal n get the waiter in trouble, the manager purposely put boneless in and when she went to complain after eating half he opened it showing a half eaten wing and she freaked out thinking she ate the bones n ran to her car n called 911, the manager showed the cops that the chicken was boneless and she was banned from the store
😅😆. Awesome 👌🏻 👏🏻
Boneless Pizza Brings me back to the olden days.
Facts
with 2 liters of coke
@@spectrum_gg 2 Liter machine broke, we got 1L though
boneless mango
I like bananas, because they have no bones.
My wife and I were at a restaurant in France, and on the menu was a dish that translated literally as “duck leg pIzza”. We just had to try it and, indeed, it was exactly as described. We had quite a laugh!
Story 1: OP probably only got fired because they could've choked or gotten hurt with the bones. Yeah it was funny but those Itty bitty bones could've really caused a lawsuit
Pretty sure they would have been fine, the waiter confirmed twice that was what they ordered in a restaurant full of witnesses. It’s the family’s fault for being stupid enough to order chicken wings in a freakin’ calzone 🤦🏻♀️
OP said they didn't have boneless wings back then, so they should have known that it would have bones. That's why OP kept trying to confirm their order.
The cousin gave her the gift that keeps giving.😂 A free pass to forgo chores. Beautiful.
Imagine getting fired for giving a customer exactly what they asked for, especially when they aren't even the one who made the food. What a stupid boss.
Agreed. 💯
One thing I hate is when a parent denies their kids a chance to learn a language of their family. I learned that most of my family that live in Louisiana can speak creole. My grandparents, who moved to Texas, also spoke it but refused to teach the kids. So now I would have to do self study to learn the language.
Story 2: Am I the only one who was worried that a huge gust of wind would ruin the pile? Lol
Nah I just kept thinking about how they did exactly what was asked of them and it's not the W they thought it was lmao
@@sentientcardboarddumpster7900 not only was it not the W they thought but also there is no way that average sized leaf pile took a truck multiple trips. It's no where near the 15' long 12' tall wall of leaves he described in the post. Man tried to comply maliciously, just complied instead, and then lied about it, but sent receipts to show he lied lol
Also, I believe it was her son who took that picture and she said he’s like 6 foot or something like that
So yeah. Big pile
Story 1: I'm confliced between pointing out that a Buffalo Chicken calzone is far from uncommon, and pointing out that the customer never ordered a Buffalo Chicken calzone, they just ordered chicken wings in the calzone. I also gotta doc points from the manager, because despite the common addage, the customer is NOT always right.
Story 3: So basically, it's a continuous Malicious Compliance.
Story 5: I used to like BoA. But that was over 8 years ago, and I never got involved with loans.
Hearing about the malicious compliance against Bank of America made my day! I closed my account with them 20 years ago because of their poor servicing and how fee happy they had become.
The first story: OP got fired over that crap? Talk about wrongful termination. It sounds like OP didn't really care that they were terminated, but just did what the guest asked for! The customer is always right, right? They're not, but that's what a lot of managers and bosses live by.
the father probably threatened a lawsuit if he didn't get fired (the daughter could of choked on a small chicken bone) and many managers usually consider terminating someones employment cheaper than handling legal action even if its wrongful or has no chance of winning
*Douchécanoe:* "We would like a calzone, filed with whole, unboned chicken wings, s'il vous plaît."
(For clarification, *"unboned"* as a verb means the simple past tense and past participle of *unbone:* Not having had the bones removed. To bone something, in this specific context, is to *_remove_* its bones.)
*OP:* "You want the wings, specifically, the boneiest part of the chicken, the part with the absolute least meat on it; baked inside a calzone, a dish traditionally served without bones?"
*Douchécanoe:* "I am speaking perfect English, why can't you understand me!"
*OP:* (Thinking) Preeetty sure 's'il vous plaît' is not English, but Okay. "Just to confirm, you don't just want a _chicken calzone?_ Because chicken calzones are an actual item on the menu, there's a big exaggerated picture of one right there, there's no ambiguation about what you're getting... outside of the usual misleading proportion size/camera trickery."
*Douchécanoe:* "I've said all I'll say, and I won't even take this confusion about it as a context clue that maybe, _just maybe_ further clarification is needed. Bring me the order as specified, or I'll have your job!"
*Tara Strong:* "No one could have predicted what happened next..."
*Douchécanoe:* As his daughter finds a bone in her whole, unboned three-handled, chicken wing filed calzone: *Pikachu Face*
That 2nd story was epic! I love the family collusion.
Story 5: I get that they're trying to inconvenience the bank, but I feel bad for the poor teller and manager that had to deal with the transaction (for the first branch).
They get payed the same whether or not they're counting quarters.🤷♂️
@@theskyisteal8346 I have a lot of former bank tellers in my family. It just makes things go so much more slowly throughout their entire day. That bulk of counting and then having to deal with the aftermath. It's just a lot for someone who didn't cause the problem in the first place. It's kind of like calling a call center and screaming at the first person who picks up.
First story: Honestly its stories like this that finally got me to acknowledge that both "at will employment" and "contract employment" each have pros and cons. Sure, you boss may legally be able to force you to work under contract employment, but at least they cant fire you for no reason either. And what's worse is there is no legal action that can be done against the manager, despite the employee breaking no rules, no laws, no regulations, and the company didnt even a back up hire ready.
*Sees the 2 words that bring back both traumatizing and soothing memories* I THOUGHT WE WERE OVER THE BONELESS PIZZA MEME
I occasionally say the meme but no one says a word about it they just laugh
Nope. We also now have Bread Bank *2*
I was very confused how it was 2007 again
Personally I never get tired of boneless pizza XD
First Story: When I think of boneless pizza I think of Sethical lmao. They got exactly what they asked for so why are they complaining? Wooow, why did OP get fired?!
Second Story: Wait, OP paid their neighbor for leaves? Anyway, wow that is a big ass pile of leaves lmao
Third Story: Lmaoooo that is hilarious. That is why u shouldn’t talk about someone in another language without knowing if that person can’t understand them. Grandma said it perfectly
Fourth Story: OP's boss shouldn’t have messed up something that worked. All he did was screw the team over just by doing what the boss said
Fifth Story: Well this is something new for me. I bank with Bank of America. I’m glad I learned this now than later
Story 1 : op then manager is a spineless worm..
Story 1: If you meant chicken meat, why did you ask for chicken wings? I love chicken on a pizza and frequently ask for it as an extra topping. Not once have I asked for chicken wings on a pizza, whilst meaning chicken meat.
Story 2:
Cousin: OP is so clumsy!
Great aunt: cousin please clean up
Cousin: OP should do it!
She can’t say someone is sooooo clumsy and then pass off work to them it’s not just about lying but she literally told her great aunt that OP couldn’t do the work, what did she expect??
I have never heard of a pizza with bones in it. Now I've seen it all.
You know, I clicked on the title thinking "Ha, that actually happened to me once." I got a bone on my pizza... it wasn't even a chicken pizza, or anything. It was a run-of-the-mil, over-the-counter $5 pepperoni pizza from Little Caesar's, and there was a tiny (presumably) chicken bone hiding under a slice of pepperoni. I never reported it to anyone, because there's no way I could prove it, I had already brought the pizza home, the most I can possibly do is post it to r/trueoffmychest and wait for the redditors to say "and then everyone clapped."
Anyhow, this story was completely different than I expected...
OMG the ending of the 3rd story is GOLD. The whole family actually knew, played along... and keeps playing along LOL 😂
Sounds like an awesome family 👍🏼
Last story is the reason I am glad UK has a law that allows you to refuse coins as payment over a certain amount. Those malicious compliances/revenges usually just mean that some poor clerk/cashier has to spend time counting stupid amount of coins. Most of the time you're not sticking it to the people who are responsible for your situation.
And then the employee gets bad surveys due to the line backing up which affects their compensation.
In the US, it depends on what you are trying to pay and where. Stores, gas stations and restaurants, for instance can refuse to accept certain size bills and coins and many do. If you are trying to pay a debt, loan and most bills that you owe on, they have to accept all legal tenders. The bank legally can't refuse to accept bills or coins from someone who is trying to pay on their loan, especially since the money came from another bank.
You are right, it's the poor clerks and staff that have to suffer and count all of it and it doesn't effect upper management or the people who made such decisions. Those people don't care because it doesn't effect them directly.
I'm struggling to remember a story my friend from high school told me, but it's on the same vein as the boneless pizza. I can't remember what the order was or what was dumb about it, but the finale was essentially "I tried to explain to you 4 times that this is a bad idea. 4 times, you interrupted me to tell me that's what you wanted, and went to great lengths to insult my intelligence. There's only so much I'm willing to take, and you found out my limit. Good job, enjoy your meal."
The pizza story made me think about the swedish pizza called calskrove. It's a (ham) calzone with the addition of a burger and fries inside 😁
In the last story, the first manager sounds like a cool dude. That's why OP decided to go to another BoA branch because OP did not want to inconvenience the cool dude.
Boneless pizza is reminding me when I saw crustless Chicken Pot Pie at work today. That's just random veggies and chicken then!
There's also double stuffed thin Oceos. I'll let you ponder that one...
Hit em Boneless!
Good episode. At 5:53 or so, a small correction: the country is indeed pronounced Sigh-pruss, but the ethnicity is pronounced Sip-ree-ut when speaking English.
Was gonna say the same thing lol I've got Turkish Cypriot family and they are not kind to people who call them the way dabney calls them
Tech support story: I had a similar situation with the opposite result. I was a sysadmin at a medium sized company with no path to advancement unless I wanted to relocate, which I didn't. I ended up taking a desktop support job which I was way overqualified for at a much larger company because there was more advancement opportunity, and they initially said they would prefer to hire me as desktop to see if I "know [my] stuff" and to "get [me] used to the environment" with the option to get promoted back to sysadmin later.
Well, most desktop techs were doing 40-60 tickets/month. The GOOD ones were doing as much as 80. I was doing over 100/mo every month since I started. When it came time to promote me, I kept getting passed over. Why promote me when I'm basically doing the job of two people for the price of one?
I did end up getting promoted, but I had to do it behind my manager's back because I knew there was no way they'd let me go to another team if they had a say.
That thumbnail has made me question my reality. Thanks rSlash, never disappoint 👌🏻😊
I am reminded of a story that is a few years old now. Please, it is not dissing people who are blind in any way, shape, or form. ... I have a friend who at the time of this story, was about two years away from retirement from the local power company. He was a lineman, you know, the people who play with the big electric lines on top of really tall towers. He had worked there long enough that he had accrued enough vacation and sick leave that he really didn't have to work another day in his life before retirement. He would often joke, and it is a reoccurring joke and say, "I'm going to call in sick tomorrow." "Oh. Why? You look pretty healthy right now." (That was the expected response.) "Yeah. I'm calling in with eye problems." "Eye problems?" "I just don't see going into work tomorrow."
Story one... so, wrongful dismissal, rake the manager over the coals a little? Seems simple enough. Customer asks for X, X is questioned, they reiterate, they're given what they asked for. Wings are wings, you don't generally call them that unless they have the bones.
The Greek story is great! Half my siblings call me retarded to my face, the other half don’t realize I’m aware of it. So it’s nice to see the universe has its ways handling these types of people, sometimes.
1 story: I would not have fired OP but reprimand them. If someone wants chicken in something not on its own or in a soup it is fair to assume that they want the bones removed.
I imagine if after ordering he literally delivered an order that was completely boneless (cheese comes from the cow, which has bones, things like that). But it's sad he got fired for following what was asked.
The second story is absolutely epic. That's an absolute case of I understand what you're saying. In what world did OP's cousin not think that OP, in the very least, understood Greek? It's part of their heritage. For example, I'm of Italian descent. I'm not fluent in the language by any means but I understand a great deal of it. If someone were to be talking about me in Italian, I would, most likely, be able to get the gist of it. I say good on OP for playing the long game.
That's the thing! It's still going on b/c the cousin refusing to admit that she lied! All the cousin has to do is literally admit that she lied and apologize to OP for what she said and doing so behind OP's back! But the cousin won't swallow their pride!
I'm Filipino, and yet I don't know much of my own country's language, as it's only limited
In a call center having on person do 70% of the work is not sustainable because when you get a call you can only take one call at a time so when queue backs up it looks really poor on the team. Chats/emails are okay but there has to be a balance anyways so they couldn’t fire the rest of the people because of the availability for calls. It’s a nice security for your job.
When I was in my mid 20's (and looked around 15 - nobody ever took me seriously) I was at a restaurant with a friend, and ordered chicken wings. When we received them, they had sauce-covered feathers all over them. A lot of them. I was skeeved. I called the waiter over and asked for something else. The guy said, "Chickens have feahers," as if explaining to a toddler. I responded kindly, "Yes, but we don't eat them." He called the manager over, and they both seemed put out over the whole thing. I stood firm, but I was sincerely nice about it. I mean, they didn't pluck the chickens themselves, I'm sure they came frozen in a bag. He eventually brought me some potato skins and slapped them on the table like a petulant brat. I just said a totally sincere "thank you," and he mumbled something and walked away. I was in retail back then, and the bigger the a-hole, the kinder and more accommodating I became. It usually confused them into compliance. I guess I don't think the guy should have been fired, I even tipped him 20% (that is my minimum tip, I was a waitress in college), but I would have loved to have walked in the next day to conduct a seminar on customer service. I'm so happy to have left the service industry behind. I also never order wings.
I doubt the veracity of your story tbh.
@@mariposa9506 It was somewhere between 1990 and 1994, I can't remember exactly, at The Ground Round in Auburn, NY. I didn't take pictures, we didn't have cell phones. I was so taken aback by the comment "chickens have feathers" it seared itself into my brain. I can't prove it to you, but I have better things to do than make up shit for social media. If you live long enough, everyone's life ends up with enough interesting stories without resorting to fictionalizing, lol.
@@ShinyElfriend it's not about the customer service, it's the claim they were in the practice of ordering packages of unplucked chicken parts. I am skeptical of that being a thing one can do.
@@mariposa9506 Oh, I see. No, I didn't mean they bought unplucked chicken parts, I just meant the mistake wasn't theirs, because they buy their wings frozen, so the mistake was at the factory that packaged the wings which, of course, should have been plucked clean, but were not.
Story 5: I don't know what it's like in America, but in Australia, companies are absolutely able to deny people paying in coins even though it's legal tender. A company has the right to set the rules with how it takes payment. Case and point - A lot of places stopped taking cash altogether when everything reopened after the pandemic, only allowing card transactions.
In the US, it depends on what someone is trying to pay and where. Places like stores, gas stations and restaurants can refuse to accept coins or certain size bills. If you're paying a debt, loan and most bills, that are due, they have to accept all legal tender, cash and coins of all sizes. Bills can include rent, utility bills, etc. Of course there are some exceptions. But banks have to take all legal tenders for their loans. It's crazy that a bank would try to refuse to take legal tender that came from another bank.
My father in law had his branches tied in bundles, in where the trash goes. They didn't pick them up because some were over the 3' limit. He checked and found some that were 3'1".
He brought boxes home from work that were 8"x 6"x3" high. We spent the day chopping the branches up, so they fit in the boxes, and lined the curb with them, 1 box high. The guy had to bend over and pick up each box. After that, he could lay a limb at the curb, and they would make it work.
I love these videos. Keep them up Dabney!
Story 4 is EXACTLY the kind of work I want. I do work in an inbound call centre, but the calls and work type is so stressful. Also, due to the nature of the calls we weren't allowed music, movies, even mobiles! Though we have been working from home, there are non stop calls meaning I can't enjoy any of the downtime like the OP was stating. We have now move to a "hybrid" model (60% office, 40% home) which makes it even worse.
I should also mention that I suffer from depression and anxiety... yeah, not a great mix.
Cyprus is an island that used to harmoniously have Greek and Turkish people, and was an absolutely amazing place to live. Then petty governments greedy for power tore the island apart, and now it's split between the Greeks and Turkish, with a no man's land between that people haven't inhabited at all since the war. Johnny Harris did a great multi-part series on it.

To be clear, I don't think they deserve to be fired either - but surely in story 1, the wait staff just relay the order, and it can only the kitchen staff's responsibility what goes into the food? Surely the cooks are the ones who should "know what they mean" and "know" that they should only have put chicken meat in? How could that ever be the wait staff's fault?
Hi. I haven’t watched any of the video yet. I was very confused when I was younger, When the whole “Boneless Pizza” meme was going around. All my life, In my house, We called the crust of pizza the “Bone”. My brother ate the bone. My sister didn’t like eating the pizza bones. I always ate my pizza bones. So when I first heard about “Boneless pizza” in middle school, I didn’t understand it. Yeah, They wanted it crustless. Ok. What’s the big deal?
It took me a couple weeks of the meme being repeated ad nauseum to realize that _no, Most people do not have a colloquial term for the crust, And do in fact just call it the crust._
Last story: I never understood the concept of "convenience fees". Why make people pay for doing what's easier for them to do? And hell, doesn't the easier route for costumers also tend to be easier for the company too?
Well, thats how bankers are. They are always looking to squeeze the last nickle out of you!
When I saw the thumbnail, I knew I had to watch this. I used to work at Domino's and while this exact event didn't happen, we would get a bunch of prank calls asking for a boneless pizza (not a calzone, but a regular pizza). I remember it annoyed me a lot.
That last story can't happen here in Canada! There's laws that allow payments to be rejected if they are paying with non rolled coins.
There's a lot of GOOD things that can't happen in leftist heaven Canada.
@@linuxuser4895 So paying with coins is a right leaning political action? Wtf? I'm glad we can set rules that don't allow people to screw over innocent bank tellers just going to work and doing their jobs.
@@mariposa9506 How is it screwing over innocent tellers? They get paid the same if they're counting coins or not. I've had more than one job where I was asked to do silly stuff that wasted time, but I still got paid the same. I just took an opportunity to throw shade at Canada. Justin Trudeau is still the prime minister? My condolences.
If I was fired for that shit I’d threaten to press retaliation charges, cuz it looked like the manager wanted to get back at OP for that
Depends on the state it happened in. Some states still allow employees to be fired for whatever reason their employer feels like
In response to the calzone story.... I'd be willing to bet the dad threatened legal action if they didn't fire op.
Ohhh, the leaf one makes me smile.
The leaf company sounds like our old HOA. 🙄
In the first story, the girl could have messed up her mouth or choked on the bones. The waiter should have said after the first time "wings have bones in them, are you sure you want that?" The girl would then say "no, just pieces of chicken" and it would be over.
Even in a time when boneless wings weren't really a thing, sometimes people forget important details, so just continuing to vaguely ask "are you sure?!" without explaining why you're confused at the order doesn't help at all.
All of that said, I don't think the waiter should have been fired, and the kitchen staff shared in the blame, so that's not really fair
Last story: I was screwed over by the Bank of America over a credit card many years ago. I will never do business with those a-holes again. I'm glad that this person cost them some money.
I’m so confused by the leaf story. Our yard waste has to be in bins for dumping or in bags they can take. Where can you just put giant piles of loose leaves for pickup? Is it a vacuum truck? Is there no wind where OP lives?
I would have taken those leaves free of charge! That turns to black gold. Black leave mold is awesome for my red wiggler compost worms as well. Lol. Give me your leaves!! Lol
I find the Leaf story so weird, is that an us-american thing? to have leaves removed?
Why not leave the leaves (leafes?) on the ground and let the bugs and critters use them during autumn and winter to eat/hide in. And then in the spring with the first mowing of the grass, the left over leaves get cut to little pieces and fall inside the grass, feeding the bottom.
Our mortgage was on Great Western Bank after a refinancing. We had a wonderful agent with them who squeezed out an additional.5% on signing the mortgage. That bank got swallowed up by WAMU “the beached whale” with our mortgage as well.
We got to the point that we could pay off the balance (no prepayment penalty on the mortgage). So, we did and awaited for the final interest billing. Instead of that we get a foreclosure notice. What!!??
Calling up WAMU we asked them what was that all about? First confirming that the principal was paid off and that they never sent the final interest bill, I ask them to send the interest bill, call the credit bureaus to correct THEIR ERROR. The next week what do we get but another foreclosure notice. WTF!? I call again and don’t want an agent but a supervisor. I told them if this isn’t cleared up immediately, and they send another foreclosure notice that I wouldn’t be the one calling them, but my lawyer would be with a suit against them. Plus a call to the Federal bank regulators. They cleared it up. WAMU fell to the roadside soon after that.
Christopher Tidus used to bash Bank of America at every single show. He said right into the camera on his special "Fix it or I'll talk about you every single show". I think he had a hell of a point.
today's stories were funnier than usual
keep up the good work 👍
Hold on! Story 1: Chicken MEAT and Chicken WINGS are 2 COMPLETELY Different things! That Manager should be fired for misuse of power. Obviously they don’t understand HOW to be a Manager. There are times to be understanding to a customer and there are times to Support your staff. THIS was one of those times.
I have always grown up with normal pizza and can't imagine one with bones honestly.
my italian heart cries when americans say "calzone" instead of "panzerotto"
Calzone
The pronunciation of "calzone" in US English is horrendous too.
OP from the last story was living my dream. I HATE Bank of America and wish I could do something that fun
Because rSlash doesn't really seem to understand Cyprus here's a bit of a clarification: Cyprus is an island nation in the East Mediterranean Sea, south of Turkey. The island is split in two halves, one Greek half and one Turkish half. Cyprus has two mayor ethnic groups: Greek Cyriots, who have been living on the island since prehistory, and Turkish Cypriots, who originate from the Ottoman conquest in the 1500s. It's important to understand that OP is not of Greek nationality but she speaks Greek and has close ties to Greek culture.
I’d love to be a kid in the second story. Imagine jumping into that.
To the third story: I'm from Germany, but I know a bit about Cyprus. Cypriots, please correct anything wrong I've written here^^
There are 3 main ethnicities on the island of Cyprus: Greek Cypriots, Turkish Cypriots and Brits.
Greek Cypriots refers to people who either emigrated from Greece to Cyprus or were born in Cyprus and speak Greek.
Turkish Cypriots refers to people who either emigrated from Turkey to Cyprus or were born in Cyprus and speak Turkish.
For many years, Greece and Turkey fought about the island of Cyprus, the island became Greek, then Cyprus gained independance, but the Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots thought they were handled miserably by their counter part. After a war, in which the UN stepped in, the island of Cyprus was devided into the only by Turkey recognised Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus and the by most other countries of the world recognised Cypriotic Republic, also known as Cyprus.
And just like in Korea, there were buffer zones implemented by the UN, which are under British control.
The island of Cyprus counts geographically to Asia, as 97% of Turkey does, but it's culturally officially counted to Europe and is member of the EU.
That was my short essay about the Cypriotic history. Hope you learnt something new today :D
I hate Bank of America. When my husband and I moved in together and mingled our finances, I noticed he was being charged a monthly $10 fee from BoA. He had been charged this fee every month for the over ten years he had been with the bank! I immediately had him call the bank and close his account. They said they’d waive the fee since his direct deposits qualified, which enraged me more because, if he qualified, why didn’t they just waive the fee automatically?! He had an old credit card with BoA we wanted to keep for his credit’s sake, but without the bank account, we couldn’t pay its monthly balance online anymore (it has good rewards). The website wouldn’t even give us the option to pay it online using an account from another bank, like every other bank does! And I know BoA can let you pay your credit cards online with another bank’s account because I have a BoA credit card and never had a bank account with them, and I can pay it online. To this day, we still have to call Bank of America in order to pay the monthly balance of my husband’s credit card.
OP in the last story really missed an opportunity. In the US, any debt collector (anybody that you owe money to) legally has to accept any form of legal US tender as payment or else they forfeit the entire debt and you no longer owe a single penny. If OP had got that bank manager refusing the quarters on video, he could have legally got his entire debt wiped clean and there's absolutely nothing BoA could have done about it.
Love what you did to the crooks at BoA! I had an account with them many years ago for a couple of years. But then they started charging fees to cash check drawn on BoA to victims who didn't have accounts with them. Thet meant if you went to BoA to cash a $20 BoA check, they would only give you $15 for it. (They have since raised the fee repeatedly, last I checked it was $20.) It didn't affect me, having an account there, but it was refusing the honor checks at par value, which is crooked as hell and should be illegal, and so I closed my account and told them why. And I told them I wouldn't be accepting BoA checks from anyone.
It's also worth noting that "Bank of America" required all sorts of ID and a valid address to open an account there, IF you are American! However, for illegal aliens, those requirements are dropped.
Story 1: reminds me of the boneless pizza meme. It’s still funny to this day
For that Cypriot story: as a Balkan who’s experienced how the English/British treat us, I’m more mad at the dad who decided he can rob his kids from their cultural heritage :/ the cousin was just being Balkan lol. THAT girl got in touch with her heritage really early pfffft but didn’t account for the family ALSO being Balkan. Tough luck.
This reminds me of the garlic free garlic bread.
Ah yes, the classics
Alternate take for story 1: OP was fired because including bones in a person's meal when they wouldn't expect them to be there could be seen as criminal negligence plus that opens up the restaurant to a lawsuit.
Nope. They asked for wings after he clarified there would be bones contained there within that's not negligence that's compliance
But Op didn't make the calzone they just put the order in as they were told kitchen staff made the choice to not take the bones out. So why punish the order taker for kitchens lack of common sense?
@@emeliemaisner1535 I think they could argue in court that OP should have reasonably assumed that the customer wouldn't want the bones in the calzone or at the very least could have asked whether or not to leave them in since it was such an unusual request, plus he served it to her knowing there was a choking hazard in it without warning her.
He fulfilled her unreasonable order unreasonably and he shouldn't have. He should have been the more cognizant person in this situation but I would argue he was actually less.
@@ThEjOkErIsWiLd00 that's going on the assumption Op knew the kitchen put whole wings in. honestly ruining 3 peoples lives would be bad but if they fired Op I hope they fired the kitchen staff becuase it's just as much their fault at the end of the day. Op severed it and they made it either party had time to correct their behavior and not serve Bones.
@@emeliemaisner1535 I never disputed that the cooks weren't culpable as well.
I bet they wouldn't have still been laughing it up in the back if she had choked to death on one of those bones... at least, i hope so.
For the last story, what kind of bank doesn't have a coin counting machine? It should just be a matter of dumping the bag of coins into a funnel and it spits out a number after a minute or two.
Story 1, totally sucks that he got fired but bones in a pizza is a hazard. the person eating it could be seriously injured. yes it’s what they asked for but op should have asked the manager first and explained there will be bones in the pizza. or just say no cuz you cant put bones in a pizza.
Story 1: im actually pissed off that op got fired.
😆
Those poor tellers didn't deserve that.
Story 1: Employee deserved to get fired. I don’t care how rude someone is- putting bones in a calzone is a potential health risk. Any sane human being would have clarified boneless or said no to the request. If she would have choked the restaurant would have been liable; he’s an idiot for putting bones in there.
Last story: It's nice your fees were dropped, but this kind of thing usually only punishes the bank tellers.
Exactly. It doesn't effect the people who made those decisions and they don't care. Personally if it bothered me that much, I'd just go to a different bank if I could.
Pizza story - I would go to court as a unfair dismissal. They can’t fire you over a stupid customer and you did as they asked aka used chicken wings 🙄
Hahah, what backwards world do you live where employers need a reason to fire people?
Where I live, you can certainly get fired for something like this and there wouldn't be anything you can about it. Here it's an "at will" state, meaning employers can fire you for any or no reason at all, as long it's not due to your race, religion, disability, gender, etc. It sucks but it's just the way it is. But that also means that employees can quit for any or no reason at all as well.
Employees always have a reason to quit. Where I live which isn’t a backwards world you can’t just fire someone over something as stupid as this. After all the server did what the customer asked so they did their job properly not their fault the customer was rude and stupid.
@@chloeelizabeth2174 Different places have different laws and protections. I haven't heard of any place where an employee in a standard job couldn't quit, but there are places have contracts for their employees for various things. Like the military, there are situations where you can't just quit because you want to and you are technically an employee but that's not a "standard job".
Most places in my country a person can get fired for any reason and this isn't uncommon at all. Here employees don't have a lot of protection, unfortunately. We also don't have much for maternity leave either or it's unpaid leave. It's very common for a woman to have to go back to work right soon after having a baby because they can't afford to go without a paycheck. Yes, she has the right to have up to 12 weeks off in a year for having a baby, but it doesn't mean she will get paid.
Last story: I seem to recall a MC story on here where OP's customer attempts to pay with an absurd amount of coins and OP makes the customer wait while counting out every single coin by hand.
So I figure until (if ever) she admits "I lied," she's gonna be doing dishes and chores. Has to be my favorite story you've covered so far!
the story about the support agent and languages reminds me of when i worked in that sector and we could only reply to tickets in the languages we had tested in and also couldnt get paid extra if we hadnt test in that language. because my position only required english and french from me i didnt test in any other language but my german would have been more than sufficient to reply to tickets... welp one day the german team is drowning in tickets for some reasons and asking for help, i simply said "but i'm not qualified enouuuugh" XD
That leaf pile is every neighborhood kids dream
Right? The first thing I thought was how epic it would be to take a charging run and jump straight into it.
The relief I felt when the first post was NOT about a request for deboned anchovies…
