Isn't hiring someone just to fire the rest of the staff and then firing them illegal? Unless it was specified, this sounds rather illegal. Sketchy and unethical, sure, but I'm just not sure if it was legal.
If there is that much blow by in an engine to saturate the bay if the cap is removed while operating, the egr is plugged or the compression rings are worn out and the engine should be over hauled, I have seen this type of problem and replacing the cap will solve the problem. The alternator being ruined?! From oil? Only if it was worn out to begin with, the dealership made a nice profit off the new one. I had an alternator fall into a bucket of used motor oil, no worries, just placed it in a bucket of kerosene and swished it around to remove the oil then went over it with a compressed air nozzle and removed the residue and voila all fixed, now water that would have ruined it.
Pretty sure a Jiffy Lube only put 2 quarts of oil (out of four) in my car 😡 Drove it for a thousand miles before it started running rough, can't prove they did it so 🤷 Check your oil after you get it changed, folks!
If you're in customer service and you're having a bad day you must at least pretend to be cordial. After all your job depends on it. It's like that be nice scene in "Road House". Be nice until it's time to not be nice. Don't be crappy from moment one.
@@HappilyHomicidalHooligan throughout the rest of the movie he had also fired a sex crazed bouncer who he caught in the act with a prostitute and fired a bartender for pocketing money from the cash register. He didn't fire anyone else after that.
@@steveboone1498 Didn’t he also fire the bouncer played by Terry Funk? “You don’t have the right temperament for trade” was the reason he gave, I think. That was even before he fired the guy in the storage room, the one who asks “What if somebody calls my mama a whore?”
@@danielhoward8354 It’s a movie I rarely see get talked about, but I liked the movie Next of Kin. Maybe it’s the Southerner in me, but I think it was good.
took my car for an oil change since i was in a rush and the filter was over a t-bar section of pipes, makes a mess every time you change it. anyway they destroyed my whole coollent system. a little over 600$ to fix. the place i took it to for the fix didnt charge for labor or shipping of the parts. never took it back to the one place. when my parents found out, they never took their cars there again
I took my car to Firestone, since I needed an alignment after replacing some of the steering linkage in my driveway and tacked an oil change on. They botched *every* aspect of it: oil filter spectacularly overtightened, drain plug was overtightened (probably with an impact gun), paid for full synthetic oil and got regular, the front lugnuts were improperly torqued, and the alignment was noticeably drifting out a week after the 90 day warranty expired. (I put maybe 3500 miles on my car in that time, there's no reason for it to have gone out so quickly.) Took it to Sears to get it fixed, and had it done cheaper and it was done right. Too bad they closed down locally.
"People Like You Don't Deserve a 'Hi" From Me In My Office!" The way you have it makes no sense at all. 3:14 "and we told everyone to go there" NOT "and we were told to go there."
That Karen in the last story - she could have covered her butt by saying something like "Oh, um, sorry about the look on my face. Just got a tooth yanked." That or, "I got to go to a funeral later this week." Most anyone understands those.
Oil cap story happened to me. Luckily I caught it in time. I actually heard the cap fall an pulled over. O thought I ran over something, but found the oil cap. It was undamaged, so I put it back myself I went back and told them. They were very nice. Checked my oil and gave my a bunch of coupons.

From the story her behavior was not a good fit for retail but her behavior was sour Sylvia not Karen. The 🌟 addressing you is for 100k plus subscribers. At a 🌟 level more about entitled human nature is required. Don't just be lazy and cliché.

He was certainly responsible for his unauthorized use of copyrighted material as well.

The last story, i am pretty sure with an attitude like that, Karen would not recognise a GOOD DAY even if it sat up and bit her ankles.
"Get out, now!!"
I've got a better idea Karen. How about YOU get out, cause you're sacked.
*Surprise Pikachu Face*
I want to say that Oil change place was in Maryland. As a kid, I remember seeing a place with the Road Runner in its logo. Then one day, it was gone.
Only in an American company, that behaviour would be illegal in civilisation.
I'm working on retail. At a pharmacy to be precise. Even having a bad day I never forget to say hello, be nice and helpful to everyone.
"People Like You Don't Deserve a 'Hi" From Me In My Office!" The way you have it makes no sense at all. 3:14 "and we told everyone to go there" NOT "and we were told to go there."

I think that oil change place had a copyright claim for using the roadrunner.
Yes... Thus why they had to change the name...

Did you ask Karen what was the matter? Give her a chance to explain or improve? The glorying in her losing her job is vindictive.
Good afternoon RedWheel! Good afternoon everyone !
I love your talking style. Great channel!
Love the first story
Karen in story 3 seems to have got a lucky escape.
Definitely had a bad day
Sit back and relax
What's with yt skipping the first 30 seconds of the video?
Lah-dee-da! Here I go, skipping back to my car like new boss-lady, all happy hap_ 🙄oh wait. 😱I don't have the job any more.
Sears, may it rot in heck, managed to pull out an oil line when it changed my oil. It destroyed my engine. They wouldn't even say sorry.
FYI its NOT beep beep. Its Meep Meep.
Went to a quick oil change place and guy used a pneumatic drill on the oil pan. destrosyed the screws new oil pan $800
Wow! How many is this today? Love it.
I love revenge (1st story)
Don't mess with op or ip... lol
Great stories!
Restaurant owner wife is definitely karen and the employee
👍🏻
Good day RW from mid Tn. Hope you're day is a good one.
Hello from southcentral Kentucky!
Thank you
Had to ask:
In the 3rd story, in firing the Karen for not being cordial to customers, did the OP inevitably became the new Karen?
That story was more in line of Karen vs Karen.
I think you'll find it's pronounced "meep meep". You're welcome.
Last story, op should have gone further by blacklisting her to all potential employers. Thereas absolutely no reason for karen to behave that way
