‘Let’s round it up, then': Customer demands compensation after accidentally turning mobile data off, tech support laugh and offer him 2 cents

‘Let’s round it up, then': Customer demands compensation after accidentally turning mobile data off, tech support laugh and offer him 2 cents

People are always trying to get discounts. Wait, let me rephrase… Entitled people are always trying to get discounts. People who are bored, miserable, and like to play the underdog. Look, I don't see anything wrong with a discount, but I do see something wrong with the way folk tend to go about it. Instead of asking nicely, or speaking in a polite tone, they'll yell their heads off, be rude and condescending, and generally make the person on the other end feel awful. That's what this customer d…

'You can't keep sending things back': Demanding couple keep changing their order in attempt to make servers look incompetent in front of manager

'You can't keep sending things back': Demanding couple keep changing their order in attempt to make servers look incompetent in front of manager

Some customers will try anything to get free stuff, going as far as to make employees working in customer service cry. I mean, if you're working in customer service, chances are you've sobbed your heart out at one point or another, whether from frustration or at the absolutely shocking behavior some people portray because you happen to have a nametag stapled to your shirt. People are the worst. This couple was obviously trying out some elaborate scam in order to get comped for their meal. They…

‘Our agreement doesn’t apply': Employee quits and gets reimbursed for $21,000 after boss insists they commute 200 miles a day for 2 years without compensation

‘Our agreement doesn’t apply': Employee quits and gets reimbursed for $21,000 after boss insists they commute 200 miles a day for 2 years without compensation

Too many bosses don't know or care to go through company policy. But a handful of them know exactly which rules will benefit them… and not their employees. You would think that a boss who purposely makes their employee drive 200 miles a day without being compensated should be fired. I find it hard to believe I'm the only one rooting for this dude's professional demise… So what happened? This boss lied to his employee and worse, manipulated them into commuting 200 miles a day for 2 entire years…

‘Don’t put all your eggs in one basket': Data engineer earning below average is expected to do the work of 3 people, so he quits instead

‘Don’t put all your eggs in one basket': Data engineer earning below average is expected to do the work of 3 people, so he quits instead

Management often concentrates all of their efforts on one area, meaning that they put the bulk of a couple of jobs onto one employee, risking it all. You have got to hand it to them, as it is quite brave of them to so boldly assume one person will WANT to take on so much responsibility, and then that they will be able to want to continue with it consistently. So the saying, ‘Don't put all your eggs in one basket' definitely applies here… One manager who (shocker) did not know how to do his job,…

'No added gratuity': Waiter demands to be compensated after getting stiffed on a $3,600 event, then quits when owner refuses

'No added gratuity': Waiter demands to be compensated after getting stiffed on a $3,600 event, then quits when owner refuses

"I used to be a server like you, and I've gotten stiffed by tables before. It just happens and you need to get used to it" were a restaurant owner's words when one of the waiters approached him after being stiffed on a $3,600 event. Talk about a good manager, huh? OP took to r/Serverlife after a frustrating incident at work happened, where he was forced to wait on a large party with a reservation booking in the restaurant's event room. Per usual, the restaurant was ridiculously understaffed, an…

'I own the land': Landowner gets even with horse racetrack who refuses them same deal given to her grandfather, racetrack ends up paying hundreds of dollars in compensation

'I own the land': Landowner gets even with horse racetrack who refuses them same deal given to her grandfather, racetrack ends up paying hundreds of dollars in compensation

Sometimes honoring an original deal is more profitable than renegotiating a new one, and that is pretty accurate in this case. OP explained how her grandfather used to own a piece of land next to a horse racetrack; their land nearly entirely surrounded her grandfather's, except for the fact he had access to a public road. The racetrack itself was laid out in such a way that their exercise track was placed on her grandfather's land, while the main track with a stadium was placed to the south. Th…

‘I Think You’ve Made a Mistake’ : Terrible Boss Adds Extra Workload on Employee, Won’t Pay More, Leading To Delivery Time Delays and Malicious Compliance

‘I Think You’ve Made a Mistake’ : Terrible Boss Adds Extra Workload on Employee, Won’t Pay More, Leading To Delivery Time Delays and Malicious Compliance

First, I think it's important to mention that the employee in question was a teenage girl. The job in question was being a newspaper carrier. And the boss in question was a complete and total idiot who thought she could cheat her employee out of a proper wage. When you're a kid entering the workforce (If I may call it that), you are probably going to be taken advantage of, salary-wise. Today, being a paperboy isn't as prevalent as it was back in the day before we could access the News on any an…
