You know, she could probably buy two packs of paracetamol for like $2, put them in the kids' drinks and end their suffering quicker. That way, she saves money on kids AND masks!
I mean, i get that accidents can happen with animals, but it shouldn't be normal and when it happens it should definitely be cleaned up immediately. How gross do you have to be to live in an apartment full of cat/dog poop!?
@@borealernadelwald Same! My babies still have accidents in the house, it's rare but it still happens sometimes. I also have a cat that's still learning to use her litter box so yeah...
I dog sit for a neighbor a lot, one of her dogs is paralyzed so I pee him as soon I let him out of his crate. (Four dogs in total so letting him alone unsupervised is not a good idea) but he doesnt know when he needs to poo so it just comes out as he moves, sometimes he doesnt let me pee him and he wants to be outside with the other dogs, he scoots his way to the door and as he goes he leaves a mess, but it's not his fault and it gets cleaned and disinfected as he gets to enjoy the grass.
Reminds me of the time i tried to sell somthing and a guy wanted me to drive (i dont even drive) to a far away location (an HOUR away) with somthing worth £10. yea... but nope
I think people have been drilled with the saying "customer's always right". Not only this is false, but they don't even realize when they are not even customers.
Kinda like how some people will praise a celebrity for how talented/attractive they are and then the second the celebrity says/does something they don't like, they magically become untalented and ugly, lol.
Oh man, the mask ones. I feel those. I'm making masks for people too. The vast majority of people I've made them for have been incredibly grateful and understanding of potential delays (like when it took 3 weeks for elastic to get delivered... elastic is so difficult to get right now!). I'm only charging for shipping if I have to ship them, and am not charging for the masks themselves... that said, I do accept any donations to help with supply costs. Most people have been kind enough to donate, which is very much appreciated, but not at all required. However, I have one "customer" who's been... difficult. (note: this is someone in my family, so there's extra pressure to accept her requests). Money isn't the issue, she happily donated a somewhat large sum and kindly donated fabric (THANKS!!)... she first ordered 2 dozen masks (to hand out to her church friends), and then later asked for a dozen more. That said, I think she thinks she gets special treatment for donating (thinking that she's now a "paying customer" so she gets priority or something) and gets annoyed when I tell her I have x-amount of people ahead of her. She's also frequently asks for changes to her order... for example, when I didn't have elastic, all the masks I was making used bias tape as ties. I get that ties are a bit more difficult to use than elastic, but many people do prefer the ties, as elastic (while easier to use) can hurt one's ears if worn all day every day (like for essential workers). Every other customer I've had has been totally fine with their mask having ties instead of elastic. Anyway, she HATES the ties and thinks that everyone feels the same way she does. So she changed her order after I already started making them so that most of them were elastic (by this point I had elastic). Alright, fine... slightly annoying, but not a big deal. I was handing off masks to her 6-at-a-time (as I finish making them), and then she started complaining that the "masculine" ones weren't "masculine enough" and that the men aren't going to want to wear them. Uhhh... I had plenty of gender-neutral masks in there. And even IF all the masks were flowers and rainbows and unicorns, if a man's masculinity is threatened by that, then it's not the mask that's challenging his masculinity! Every time I handed off six masks, I made sure to tell her "most of these are 'masculine' or gender-neutral", and she'd look at them and have a look on her face like "these aren't masculine!" 🙄 THEN, she asked me to set aside the the most 'masculine-looking' mask I had for some church friend across the country. Apparently this dude (that she's never met in person) has a wife who **MAKES MASKS** (so he does not need a mask), but he wants a "special one" from his church friends here, to remind him of them. Uh, what? Ok, whatever. Why does she want me to set one aside for this guy? Because she wanted me to embroider her church's logo on the mask! She could not understand why I couldn't honor this request. 😒 I finally finished the first 24 masks she requested, then about two weeks later she wants me to make a dozen more. *sigh* Sure. She specifies that she wants at least half of them to be "masculline", and since it's obvious she and I have different ideas of what that means, she wants just solid colours for them. 🙄 I tell her they are not going to be done until the end of the next week since I have other customers. She says she is fine with that. A couple days later, she texts me and asks if the masks are done and if she can come pick them up the next day. What? No... I only have two done, man! I told you when they'd be done! I also know she's not going to be happy with the solid colours... as the only solid colours I have are brown and light blue. I have a feeling she's going to think the light blue is "too feminine". We are in a pandemic and these are masks for people who need them! They are not fashion accessories! My god!
Gotta love people who put their insecure masculinity above their health, if not their actual life: "I'm not wearing that mask even if it'll save my life, it's too sissy!" Shee.
I'm a man and I'd love to wear a sparkly unicorn flower mask because 1- liking / wearing cute shit doesn't mean I'm 'less of a man, and 2- you wear a mask to stop the spread of a deadly pandemic and to keep those around you safe. If as a man (or anyone really) you have a problem with that then there is something functionally wrong with you.
8:56 that is a profoundly ignorant statement during a lockdown. If the business has no income because they are not allowed to operate, how do they pay employees? That's why unemployment benefits were buffed for the pandemic expansion.
I’m pretty sure the person that wanted to do a fundraiser for the job just wanted job security since a place that does performance art can’t afford to stay open when a restaurant can only have around 1 or 2 people eating there.
Those staff will now have no job go back too and I don’t think it was for the owner but for the business. Knowing business owners, I can say many live middle class or even lower. Depending on the company. That says that people have a true hatred for anyone who runs a business.
Especially since the fundraising wasn't the owners' idea, I agree. It sounded like they wanted to help the theater stay afloat until it's in the position of possibly rehiring
Exactly, he just wanted to keep the place afloat, so they all would have a job later on. Unfortunately most people think that business owners are millionaires or something. Now they will have to look for a job when the pandemic is over
And if the fundraiser was successful then the preforms(staff) have a new income stream :) But I can understand why some staff would want to say "The owners can just go get a job and raise the money themselves" or "The owners told me not to work for them so I cant help" PS what are the overheads that are forcing the 'collapse'? weren't utilities, rent, and interest suppose to be suspended in such circumstances?
I saw one post: CB: "Take it or leave it" OP: "Okay, I'll leave it" CB: "What? You can't do that!" So why make the "offer" if one isn't allowed to refuse it? They always act like they're doing you such a big favour by lowballing you
0 out of 5 butt holes for the actor who wanted to help the owners. Genuinely kind and caring for the dude to try and find a way to help. Understandable that the other actors didn't want to help, but blaming a business for failing because the government will arrest you for trying to operate is wrong.
yeah, I think 5/5 was pretty unreasonable when the dude was trying to secure the jobs for the future, not necessarily the present. His argument is kinda invalid, since a lot of restaurants and other stores need customers to function and get money. What else is the business supposed to do, especially the smaller ones? It's not really their fault.
It was just an employee, too. I'd agree with if the owners were asking for a fundraiser, but they weren't. This is someone acting out of compassion for a small business 0/5 for sure
Yeah I think he got that one way wrong I am glad I am not the only one that thinks so. In fact I give the slashman 5/5 for trying to make this good natured person feel bad.

Normally I typically agree with your assessment of the butthole rating, but this time I disagree completely. To say that if a business shouldn’t exist if they can’t pay their employees. Period. Is kind of cruel. Normally yes. That would be the case sure. But how do you expect a business who is a live theatre, presumably a small theatre troop because most people don’t want to pay the $25-$50 fee to go see a live play, so they scrape by anyways To support itself during a pandemic? When no one is going out? When gatherings are limited? It’s not that the business failed. It’s that there’s a pandemic. When owning a small theatre like that. The owners usually give up more than they should to help keep it afloat. But to say they shouldn’t be there? Really? This same situation happened in a nearby town where I live and all the actors and community jumped on the opportunity to help. Sure there may be facts we don’t know But OP didn’t force the staff to do a virtual show. They asked if anyone wanted to volunteer. They could have just said no. The community doesn’t have to donate. No one is being forced to do anything.
I didn't think it was completely unreasonable either. I thin rslash saw the higher ups as a faceless board of corporate directors, when its probably just an old person with a passion for the art
@@Freekymoho I completely agree. Typically when you think of owners, that is what you think, and I hold the same opinion, but I grew up loving live theatre, both performing and watching. It's a community, and a dying one at that. Most Theatres can't pay their actors, and it's nearly all volunteer based. I do think it would have been nice for OP to make the fundraiser for everyone, or the theatre itself, so when it is safe, they don't have to worry about going negative when paying the actors again. But I just don't think OP was being a butthole for doing what they were doing. They were trying to do a nice thing.
@@adamgrace7976 OP: "Hi. Would you care to help us raise money for our theatre? It would help ensure that you and I still have a place to work when the lockdown en-.." Adam Grace: "How DARE you!"
"If the business can't afford to pay the employees, then that business shouldn't exist. Period." Normally I would agree but times like these, I can safely say, that it's way too easy for you to be all high and mighty, making money by reading reddit post, at your home. Your business, or income isn't affected by this isolation.
That's the risk you are taking for living in a capitalist society. Do you really expect people to work for free and die of starvation themselves to support the company or the business ? No, the employees will do whatever they need to do to SURVIVE, if that means bankrupting your poorly led business, then so be it.
@@Zamolxes77 your not wrong but you idea is also short term thinking. If the business survies those jobs may all come back sooner than if the company went under. Im sure the employees doing the fund raising could of made some arrangement the be the first inline for there jobs as soon as things kick off. Its not certain they would get these jobs back but its certain they won't if they dont help.
@@jamesn0va if the employees had shares or were otherwise compensated during the good times it might make sense for them to hold on but as it stands, the employer wants them to continue to sell themselves, but without compensation this time
It only makes sense to volunteer if you want that job to be there when this is all over. I am not sure where op is from but I bet there is not a whole lot of full time acting work.
That's what I thought.... OP doesn't want to "give money to the owners" like they are going on holiday with it. there are taxes, rent, mortgages(etc) to pay even when the business is not operating.
This is one of the only times I ever disagreed with Rslash. He only asked if they would be willing to help, not that they'd have to. I guess they don't realize that if the business folds they will not have a job to go back to when this crap ends.
Having worked in local theatre, YES. Even a paid acting job (like my local dinner theatre) is a community. A lot of the same actors are in almost every show, and the whole community (both locals and theatre folk) would ABSOLUTELY pitch in to help if we heard it was in trouble. A theatre isn't "a job"; it's a home.
Good point. We don't know anything about that job, except that it's serving at a restaurant, and it has an artistic director. The reality of this story can be anything from the restaurant as a warm, tightly nit community of actors who see this place as a second home and their fellow staff members as a second family, OR on the opposite extreme, a waitress job with the added stress of having to deal with an owner's son who forces you to help him live out his failed Broadway dreams by participating in bad dinner theater along with all your actual duties. The truth is probably somewhere in between, but where is something we'll never know for sure. But we do know that the people who actually know the answer to that question don't seem to want to help with a fundraiser. And don't mind pissing off the boss by telling him so. Call me crazy but that says this isn't a 'home' this is a job, and one with numerous employees who have decided they don't mind if they never have to come back to it.
Dude.. a theater restaurant type thing needs to pay rent, marketing stuff, electricity and all the other things conected (like food or whatever they serve they had to throw away, maybe a big loan they need to pay of ect. "MONEY FOR THE OWNER" is more like money for the place you work at to keep it going... They are all out if a job when the place closes...
@Skylynxify Reborn If they are temporarily shut down, they are still paying for utilities and rent. Most utility companies will charge a base fee if you don't use x amount of service. Also things like wifi, sometimes can't be cut off because you are in a contract so you can't just pause the service. Things like electricity has to still be used because there are things plugged in and they use electricity, not to mention they still have to run air conditioning because damage to the items can be really bad if they don't circulate air. If the humidity, heat, or cold (Though probably not cold because it is summer) sets in, it can damage your stuff. I've had that happen to me loads of times in storage units or garages. The employees that were laid off are getting unemployment. Actors in theatres like this are typically contractor based. When the theatre opens again, they will go and audition again, and they will have a job. I don't think you understand what theatre life is like.
As a person who is in theatre this very much is the case. I do BOTH paid and volunteer work. All of our theaters are closed so a lot of us are unable to perform. Since most of our income comes from shows (that actually goes to a council not individual people) that money then goes to pay for the building and the upkeep (rent, utilities, general grounds keeping) it’s also used to make sure we have another season AFTER the pandemic. Playwrights are not cheap nor is the equipment and staff. People look at the arts as if they work like other businesses. They don’t...some of us have to sacrifice to do what we love so that everyone else can enjoy whatever fake happy they want to hide behind.
Not to mention why does everyone make it seem like the owners had a choice in laying the staff off if by law you have to close your business how do you expect to pay the workers when a vast majority of your income comes from you being open and performing
As an actor, I’m not even surprised over that artistic director. Some people in the theatre world really feel like the opportunity to work should be all you really need to keep going.
What R/Slash said is a very stupid thing to say because many small, family, and home grown business cant pay (get contacts and earn money in home business case) their employees in the current pandemic. SO should they not exist?
Rslash forgot that not all business are international millionaire companies, most of them are small business that took a lot amount of time and work to actually open, with the pandemic tons of them are gonna close leaving a lot of people unemployed and another more are gonna loose all there savings. I understand the "why should I do something for free to make u rich" that is implied but not all business are corporate evils, if OP came with that idea after working 25 YEARS there then maybe is not a horrible place to work.
@@skarjj1 Nope, they shouldn't. Last I checked, USA was short something like 3 million welders alone (about 2 years ago). Is a very well paid job and is really needed, but is dirty. On top of that there are millions more openings in jobs like mechanics, machinists, metal workers, electricians, etc. But I guess staying home and complaining about how your home business is hard hit is easier. Welcome to capitalism.
For the talent show one I disagree. Though we don’t know their situation, many companies temporarily laid off their employees to 1) save money 2) so that they can get the unemployment with the extra pandemic money. For some, it’s more than they normally make, for others, it should be enough to hold people over without running the company into even more debt. If anything, taking initiative to help keep their workplace from closing completely may benefit the workers in the long run as the economy reopens. Them doing that could mean the difference of a job for them and their other coworkers.
@@Zamolxes77 They did answer that in the post you just replied to... Unemployment. The business certainly can't pay them when they have no customers. I'm not sure what the rules are exactly, but I'm sure i'm it's harder for a business owner to collect unemployment than an employee. Particularly when they're still technically 'in business'.
That one about the small business is way off base. They were a viable company that employed these people until they were forced to close by things outside their control. The employees can collect unemployment while the company goes out of business and when the lock down is over you wont have a job to come back to.
I play your videos every night as I get ready for bed. My cat, who is scared of everyone that isn’t me (he’s an old boy I adopted last year) and often runs off when I play videos in bed, is so familiar with your voice that he comes and snuggles down when he hears you. I don’t think I could pay you a higher compliment.
Hey man, gunna be honest, not sure why you gave that one guy a 5/5 butthole rating. He didn’t do anything except try to help people. You may not like the people who he was trying to help, and that’s fair, but you can’t rate someone as a butthole for genuinely and honestly trying to help their fellow man. And the “if you can’t afford to pay your employees, you don’t deserve to be in business” comment is valid, except for the fact that they did pay their staff until they had to close for 3 MONTHS. I don’t know if a single company in the world that could close for three months and pay their staff during the entire time. It’s just an unreasonable standard man. Plus, helping the owners is in the interest of the employees so that once they can reopen, they will have jobs again.
Look regarding the manager or whatever he was that asked his staff to volunteer. Here's a part no one took into account when criticizing him. "Why are you bending over backwards to help the owners. So what if they're in dire straights" Because if you want to keep your job; THE COMPANY STILL NEEDS TO EXIST. THAT IS WHAT THE OWNERS WERE SAYING. THEY DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO SUSTAIN THE BUSINESS, MEANING IF THEY DIDN'T GET MORE FUNDS THE BUSINESS WOULD BE UNABLE TO REOPEN. All those people who are currently laid off(including I would assume the manager who made the post), are only laid off until the business is allowed to reopen. BUT if the business CAN'T reopen when the time comes due to a lack of funds, the workers will go from temporarily laid off to fully unemployed. People are getting a lot more than usual on unemployment right now; they'll be fine. But those boosted unemployment rates will end as everything reopens so they NEED their job to go back to. If the business/owners lost too much money from the shutdown and is forced to permanently close, what are the those workers meant to do? Think before you harp on people
The guy is lucky that op gave him a guitar because that guitar could've had sentimental value to him or her but they were still kind enough to give them their old guitar
For the chair + Table dude, I would have just replied that "I couldn't possibly sell you defective furniture that's the wrong color that you don't want"
I am so glad the sofa story included the info about the nice woman who ended up with it. Sometimes between listening to all the horrible stuff going on right now and how shitty entitled people act I forget that there are genuinely kind human beings still out there, not only donating their time / services / goods, but ones who truly appreciate it in return.
Man, I love listening to these videos in the morning as I'm making/eating breakfast. Also that lady who thought that op would put her above school sounds crazy.
Yeah they know they're in the right, they just want the upvotes/validation. There are very few stories where someone is the asshole or everyone is the asshole.
But what about the people that get told by everyone they know IRL they're an asshole, and post that story? It might seem obvious to us, outside of the situation, but they might be in one where they legit wonder if they're the asshole because everyone else they know is telling them so - and well, a mass of internet strangers more likely to disassemble your post completely, and are known to not pull punches sounds like a good place to get judged. I will agree some of these stories are just looking for validation, but not everyone I think. :/ probably a lot of these kinds people get judged for upvote seeking when they really do need the help. but that's just my two cents, and sort of playing devil's advocate. hope everyone is having a good day!
@@aPerfectFallacy I agree. When everyone you know is calling you a turtle, it gets easy to imagine seeing scales or a shell in the mirror. A good group of people who've never spoken to you or anyone you know in a day in your lives can set things back into perspective.
It never stops to amaze me how critical and judgmental rslash is on topics he clearly doesn’t know about. With the theater post, OP was not a butthole nor were the owners of the theater. There is a HUGE problem with the “if a business can not afford to pay the employees x amount, then they shouldn’t have a business at all.” Obviously rslash has never run a business nor had to deal with payroll. For those who don’t know, the vast majority of businesses are NOT super successful. A “successful” business is being able to have a low middle class income for the employees and maybe a high middle class income for the owners. Most businesses CANNOT withstand weeks being closed, let alone months. The reason so many people are demanding states reopen is because they know that if they don’t start making money, their businesses have to close...forever. Many of the businesses that laid people off, like the theater in the post, actually told their employees “hey, we are laying you off, FOR NOW, but the second we reopen, you will have your jobs back.” In fact, many businesses “laid off” employees so those employees would qualify FOR unemployment. This is why the vast majority of the unemployment claims right now are for temporary unemployment. People know that their bosses don’t want to close, but have to, and once they can open up, those jobs are saved for the people who had them prior to the close. Thus Theater OP was trying to help the owners because they knew the owners might lose their business completely. OP wanted to raise money so that there would BE a job after the quarantine. This is why many politicians are asking for loans for SMALL businesses, so that those jobs don’t vanish when this all ends. OP gets 0 out of 5 buttholes for understanding if the owners lose the theater, everyone will still be unemployed after the quarantine. Rslash gets 2 out of 5 buttholes for only thinking about the servers and not the owners and for being so quick to judge when he clearly doesn’t know all the facts.
This one really irritated me, the performing arts is struggling so much in this pandemic as those businesses run on such small margins. I don't see how trying to put on a fundraiser for a struggling business makes someone an asshole, so many of my friends who work in theatre have been doing the exact same.
I agree. OP also said they worked there for 25 years. This theater obviously means more to them than just a job if they are still there and trying to save it. Another reason they would want to save the theater than just lining the owners pockets.
made a comment in the same vein. your comment is rather general. but this lockdown hits the entertainment and arts industry twice as hard, as usual, entertainment and art are the first things people cut back on.
Thanks for commenting this! OP must have titled it wrong since from the title alone, its pretty problemaric but I agree with what you said 100% I hope people realize this perspective and not twist it in a way that the owners are greedy selfish people when there's reason for it
This. Small businesses are just people. They are a team effort, and often times the owners don't benefit much more than (or even as much as) the employees. I think there is a common misconception that all employment is exploitation, and all employer-employee relations are inherently adversarial and zero sum. That tends to be the case more often as companies grow, and especially become investment vehicles, but not at small dinner theater scale. This guy has worked there 25 years, and likes his job, and he asks others if they like their job to try to save it. And patrons to do the same if they like the business. This is just how communities work. No harm in asking.
The owners COULD pay for their employees. Now, they can’t and if they keep not paying it, everybody will lose their jobs, instead of just a few people. Even if this includes the owners, it’s better to keep the business running rather than let it go, because some people cant handle the financial burden if the business goes under. I understand that they should be able to pay, but unfortunately, now they can’t.
And because they can't pay their former employees are being asked for charity. It is up to the employees to decide if this business, if those jobs, are worth saving, and based on this story they have roundly decided the answer is no. That alone tells me this "dinner theater" company isn't worth saving.
Guitar player: NTA! I mean, for most music lessons, students generally provide their own instruments anyway! I don't even think this guy should even be so unsure of himself like that, he earned his way to a better guitar! GAH!
How is the performer not good he is being very generous knowing how every person is “a person” and like you are struggling during the pandemic he is great
I once gave a 200$ guitar to one of my very good friends, she almost cried and said i was her best Christmas ever and loved it. Thats a definiton of a good friend who truly appriciate a gift
9:00 Yikes Rslash, you really don't understand how incredibly hard that kind of business is. 0/5 buttholes for OP from me; He's looking out for an employer who's stayed loyal to him for 25 years. Most small scale theaters like this require outsourced funding to stay up and running even without the pandemic running rampant. I think you should have a more educated position before you fall into more prejudice.
That move conversation reminds me of me helping my sister clean her apartment when she moved. (tldr; My sister thinks it's my fault that she can't be assed with regular home maintenance.) Me and my room mate had told my sister that we were available for one weekend only (Nov 16-17, this is important), and with both of our jobs, that was the only time we were available to help her. We had told her this several times. I got a message on the monday (Nov 11) before that she hadn't been able to move all her things, but it should be cleared for me to come in on the Friday (Nov 15). I told her I wasn't available that day, so it was fine. On the Friday, she texted me and said that there was still a bunch of furniture left, but that it would be taken care of on the Saturday. She also asked if I really needed the vacuum cleaner before finishing up on the Monday. I reminded here that I wasn't available on the Monday. She hissed at me that I wouldn't be able to finish all the cleaning in one day. I was naive enough to think that she had actual done some cleaning at all, you know, like you do when I live some where, so I said I was sure me and my room mate could do it in one day. Boy, was I wrong. She hadn't even vacuumed for a month (I know this, because there were tufts of dog hair everywhere, and her dog had passed away from old age about a month prior). I took me 6 hours to just clean her 12 sqm kitchen. My hands hurt for a week from all the cleaning gunk that had seeped into my gloves. When we leave at 7 pm, my sister and my dad are both asking me when we're coming back to finish. I remind them, AGAIN, that we can't come back before she moves. Eventually, my room mate is an angel and finds a whole in her, at the time, insane schedule, and goes over to do the last vacuuming. We later got lectured by my sister that the apartment manager found dust during the inspection. The inspection was two weeks after we cleaned. My sister had not gone back to check if dust had accumulated during those two weeks, so I got yelled at by her.
If it was that bad than dust was the least of her concerns. Maybe they are cheap but cleaning companies exist for a reason. You and roommate aren't a free cleaning service.
I hate so much when "yard sale" websites like Facebook marketplace or Kijiji get people who complain about "bad customer service." You're not a customer! It's not a business!
In the situation that he talked about it was extremely uncalled for the business had a closed because of pandemic . how is that any of it the companies fault. the fact that one person wanted to help out and asked others to isn't there a reason to be called an a hole.
@Wes Prang so have I plenty of times, from employers that turned out to be scumbags in the end, but there is a difference here, in our town we had a great inn and hotel that were very good towards their employees, and customers, giving them plenty food for a fair price, they went bankrupt because of them having to stay closed due to the pandemic and the rent they had to pay to the place is so steep they could not work it out in the end, in this particular case it was more than fair to try help the employers if they were good, and I like rSlash but in this particular case he himself reacted like a bit of an A**hole himself, we all have to lean in and help each other in these trying times,
The guitar story: if you're still learning you don't need an expensive or even a mid quality guitar. Sure cheaper ones can be finicky, but new players often bump and scratch their guitars. I have a secondhand guitar that my brother passed down to me when he upgraded. The original value was only $30. While I had to tune it every time I used it, it served me very well. While I was careful, I didn't end up having an absolute panic attack any time it gained a new scratch on it. It still sounded good especially since I maintained the strings. I'll be getting a new guitar as soon as I can afford it, but I will not be paying more than $300 for it simply because I know I'm not ready to possess something more valuable. Handmedown guitars can be really special too. If his "friend" is really so upset that op treated himself to a fine guitar, they can buy their own and pay someone else a lot of money every week for lessons.
LOL the guy with the guitar... I can think of somebody who would be finding their own Craigslist buy and coughing up for those lessons, or not learning how to play for the time being
For the guy asking people to work for free.I don't think he was the butt hole. There are multiple small theaters that have the type of service of show food beverage bar. If you've been with a company for a long time you want to see it succeed and sometimes you are willing do things for free because you love it so much. Since this was a theater it's very understandable. So I don't think they deserves 5 out of 5 butthole probably just around 1 out of 5. He tried to do a good thing, but other laid off workers were unwilling or unable to help out.
I work at a pizza place, and I've gotten several calls from Karens saying stuff like "the pizza arrived cold and I have 3 starving children here!" And since we have their addresses, I really wanna tell them "wait, your children are starving?! I'm calling CPS right now, those poor kids!" I'd probably get fired tho 😂
CB: It's very rude to not sell to me whenever I want at whatever price I want Sane people: It's very rude to berate someone for making a deal with someone else that actually worked for them CB: Other people have wants and needs???????????????????????
This might sound really weird but I binged watch ur episode and fall asleep to them.... ur voice is really calming.. so I just keep rewatching them because I do love hearing the stories too ...
corona: *is a pandemic* government: *makes small and "non-essential" bussinesses close down shop for months* small and non-essential bussinesses: *lays people off and panic over lack of revenue* rslash 2020: "if a bussiness can't afford to pay it's employees, it shouldn't exist" ik it isn't how it was meant, but it just hit me as funny :P
8:58 I agree with everything you said except for this part. A lot of businesses have been forced to close due to the pandemic, and most of them are Bob and pop establishment. That's like saying every other establishment that isn't a Walmart or a Target deserves to shut down because they just can't afford to survive during a global pandemic.
"When you are in negotiations you don't sell to other people" - oh, please. There was no negotiation, it was just the Choosing Beggar trying to bully OP in to selling for less because it wasn't the colour CB wanted. As if CB was being forced to buy those specific ones instead of being free to look for others. And said that the product being clearly advertised as a colour they didn't want made it 'defective' somehow.
That woman was so nice. Even though he gave it away for free, she gave him beers and flowers. And her dad was really nice as well, since he offered to give him money even though he gave it away for free. These people give me a little hope that humanity can be saved.
A friend of my wife's, (a girl she works with at night) started making masks for $3.00 each. Some of her other co-workers thought that they should be free because "they work together and need to lookout for each other!" F-me, $3.00 dollars for your health and protection of your co-workers. I asked my wife to order two and paid $10.00 each as a thank you. All the people who asked for free masks work with NO interruption in pay and actually got bonuses. Hope to shame some cheap choosing beggers but I highly doubt it.
7:19 Poster: "AITA for asking my staff to work for free to raise money for the company from which they've been laid off?" Me: *visible confusion* excuse me, what?
Total disagreement on the dinner theater story. This person was trying hard to keep the business afloat and it sounds like they simply neglected to mention that it was to GET THEM EMPLOYED AGAIN.
I don't work for free. I worked for a doctor , who was financially well off. He would dock us for being even a minute late or clocking in early. One night , he asked me to drive him home, off the clock of course. He didn't offer to pay for gas or the bridge toll that taking him home would involve. I explained that I was on a very tight budget and didn't have the extra money to take on the extra costs of taking him home. He had a major hissy fit. I suggested that he call his wife or take a cab. I walked away and went home. Shortly afterwards, he started laying off employees, including myself. The last I heard was that he shut down his practiced and "retired.
About the story with the business that’s going under due to the virus. “A business that can’t pay their employees shouldn’t stay up at all. Period.” Like come on dude. I know this is a video and all but ending any sentence with “period” makes you sound like you’re on top of a high horse. This isn’t a “they were a shitty business so they failed “ this isn’t a “they treated their staff poorly so they failed” this isn’t a “they weren’t a good entertainment business so they failed” this is “we got shut down for months out of nowhere” a lot of people are struggling. A lot of people have no income. And asking former employees to do one show to get it back up and rolling is a fantastic idea. They’ll have their jobs back! And I think that’s fantastic. And they’re not demeaning it. They’re asking for volunteers. There’s no harm in that at all.
Not exactly, they are asking for slaves, not taking into account slaves have to eat too. If they "volunteer" to work at their previous job for free, how are they gonna earn cash to pay for their food, rent, bills, etc ? Where is the money that comes from the government supporting the business ? Into the owner's pockets, that's where, not into the pockets of the employees.
You obviously don’t own a business. First of all my employees that are laid off are all collecting and also receiving $600 a week extra from the coronavirus stimulus( thank god. At least I know they’re ok until we reopen). The government money for businesses is not that easy to get my friend and if and when you do get it there’s a ton of restrictions on it. It’s not going in my pocket. I can’t use it to buy cars and vacations. It’s to keep my business alive and can only be used on payroll and utilities. Every dollar had to be accounted for and I will be responsible to prove I used it only for what the government say I’m allowed to use it for and only so much if forgivable and the rest is just a loan. So that money that you think is going right in our pockets is just a life line to help us stay open and a good portion will have to be paid back. Just an FYI. Hope your healthy. Be safe and take care
the guy who bought the nice guitar and let his friend use his other one is actually a SAINT, because im a guitarist and i know how much of a nightmare it is to learn on a really nice guitar, i tried to learn with a dean pantera dimebag signature with a floyd rose bridge which was 900 dollars, restringing it was a nightmare, it was 24 fretted instead of the usual 22, and just too complicated at the time so i settled on buying a les paul special model 2 for 150 dollars, SO much easier to use, restring, and play in general because it was marketed and made FOR beginners. Kudos to that man
WTF, 5/5 for wanting to do an online show? I don't see the problem in asking for that to save a business. Presumably people might actually care about the place they work and want to see it survive.
Agree and disagree. I don't know if the owners were pushing this or if it was the manager. But will say the online show is a great idea. However staff should be paid IMO unless they explicitly say don't worry about it. Just saying come back to work however you're not getting paid is an asshole move. Some of these people may be in serious financial trouble. I don't know if they could do something like say a percentage would go to the staff and another would be used to keep the doors open. Clarify the theater needs x minimum to stay open, the rest will go to staff and anything over y amount will be used to support another desperate program. All while maintaining the fact that staff will get a portion regardless. edit: Giving the manager the benefit of doubt maybe the heart was in the right place but not the thought process. 3/5 if that is the case. Really need more info.
This is a sticky situation. Did the employees get unemployment? Did they have to try to find other employment? Not everyone has the luxury of donating their time and services when dealing with the financial difficulties brought on by this pandemic. Most people are hanging on by their fingertips financially in good times.
Right! There’s a lot of nuances to the situation. 5/5 was just too much, at most 1/5 if anything because op just wants to help a business they care about and it’s not like they are forcing anyone. Op just suggested a fun Wiley to raise money and we have all seen way worse managers and choosing beggars.
Uh asking the staff to help the owners save the business isn’t bad. Yes the staff should get paid to but THE ONLY REASON THEY COULD NOT PAY STAFF WAS BECAUSE OF CORONA!! I’m pretty sure that so business just expects a pandemic to come up.
4:08 That is me, my mom's and brother's day, every. Single. Day. You obviously have to clean up after them, they cannot do it and now that we're in quarantine we have to do that 24/7 we are actually quarantining and haven't left the house (the back yard is an exception since we go there to water all of our plants and gather up strawberries while our upstairs neighbours are inside so we have zero human contact.
When he said if a business can't pay that it shouldn't exist I that is a stupid thing to say because of the pandemic going on and people getting laid of caues of the quarantine should those businesses never should have existed
"If a business can't afford to pay their employees, then that business shouldn't exist. Period." While I would normally agree, I do not agree because of the current situation. Covid makes a hard time for a lot of businesses. Yes, it's sad that they had to fire the staff, but you're basically demanding the owners to ruin themselves for unforeseeable circumstances - which would result into the same dire financial straits they're into now. And also: It's kind of shocking to hear you asking why someone would try and help their boss of 25 years. I'm pretty sure that if you stay in a company for 25 years, then you've become friends or even like a second family, as it was the case with my father and his work. If you're not, then you're doing something wrong or you're pretty dumb... But I guess that's the thinking way of today's generation: Just fuck bosses, because they're bosses, no matter what. They've been helping you for 25 years to get through your life and now that they are struggling, just fuck them as you don't get anything out of them anymore. 5/5 butthole and choosing beggar attitude for you in this story rslash...
@@bleachfanbk You don't really get my point: OP never blamed anymone for refusing his request. It's understandable to refuse it if you don't want to and are in a tough situation yourself. However rslash is blaming for trying to help his former employer and (as I tried to explain) his friend

@@borealernadelwald Same! My babies still have accidents in the house, it's rare but it still happens sometimes. I also have a cat that's still learning to use her litter box so yeah...
Yeah, I thought this immediately myself as a dog owner.
I dog sit for a neighbor a lot, one of her dogs is paralyzed so I pee him as soon I let him out of his crate. (Four dogs in total so letting him alone unsupervised is not a good idea) but he doesnt know when he needs to poo so it just comes out as he moves, sometimes he doesnt let me pee him and he wants to be outside with the other dogs, he scoots his way to the door and as he goes he leaves a mess, but it's not his fault and it gets cleaned and disinfected as he gets to enjoy the grass.
@@katefresina832 My cat learned in one day, we just put him into the litter box whenever he needed to pee.
Why do people think terms like "customer service" even apply to situations like giving things away for free on Facebook?
Because if it did, it would give them leverage
"You're not a customer until you buy something."
Exactly. These are just everyday folks without a manager to complain to. Not retail.
Reminds me of the time i tried to sell somthing and a guy wanted me to drive (i dont even drive) to a far away location (an HOUR away) with somthing worth £10. yea... but nope
I think people have been drilled with the saying "customer's always right". Not only this is false, but they don't even realize when they are not even customers.

What country do you live on?
Oh man, the mask ones. I feel those.
I'm making masks for people too. The vast majority of people I've made them for have been incredibly grateful and understanding of potential delays (like when it took 3 weeks for elastic to get delivered... elastic is so difficult to get right now!). I'm only charging for shipping if I have to ship them, and am not charging for the masks themselves... that said, I do accept any donations to help with supply costs. Most people have been kind enough to donate, which is very much appreciated, but not at all required.
However, I have one "customer" who's been... difficult. (note: this is someone in my family, so there's extra pressure to accept her requests). Money isn't the issue, she happily donated a somewhat large sum and kindly donated fabric (THANKS!!)... she first ordered 2 dozen masks (to hand out to her church friends), and then later asked for a dozen more. That said, I think she thinks she gets special treatment for donating (thinking that she's now a "paying customer" so she gets priority or something) and gets annoyed when I tell her I have x-amount of people ahead of her. She's also frequently asks for changes to her order... for example, when I didn't have elastic, all the masks I was making used bias tape as ties. I get that ties are a bit more difficult to use than elastic, but many people do prefer the ties, as elastic (while easier to use) can hurt one's ears if worn all day every day (like for essential workers). Every other customer I've had has been totally fine with their mask having ties instead of elastic. Anyway, she HATES the ties and thinks that everyone feels the same way she does. So she changed her order after I already started making them so that most of them were elastic (by this point I had elastic). Alright, fine... slightly annoying, but not a big deal.
I was handing off masks to her 6-at-a-time (as I finish making them), and then she started complaining that the "masculine" ones weren't "masculine enough" and that the men aren't going to want to wear them. Uhhh... I had plenty of gender-neutral masks in there. And even IF all the masks were flowers and rainbows and unicorns, if a man's masculinity is threatened by that, then it's not the mask that's challenging his masculinity! Every time I handed off six masks, I made sure to tell her "most of these are 'masculine' or gender-neutral", and she'd look at them and have a look on her face like "these aren't masculine!" 🙄
THEN, she asked me to set aside the the most 'masculine-looking' mask I had for some church friend across the country. Apparently this dude (that she's never met in person) has a wife who **MAKES MASKS** (so he does not need a mask), but he wants a "special one" from his church friends here, to remind him of them. Uh, what? Ok, whatever. Why does she want me to set one aside for this guy? Because she wanted me to embroider her church's logo on the mask! She could not understand why I couldn't honor this request. 😒
I finally finished the first 24 masks she requested, then about two weeks later she wants me to make a dozen more. *sigh* Sure. She specifies that she wants at least half of them to be "masculline", and since it's obvious she and I have different ideas of what that means, she wants just solid colours for them. 🙄 I tell her they are not going to be done until the end of the next week since I have other customers. She says she is fine with that. A couple days later, she texts me and asks if the masks are done and if she can come pick them up the next day. What? No... I only have two done, man! I told you when they'd be done! I also know she's not going to be happy with the solid colours... as the only solid colours I have are brown and light blue. I have a feeling she's going to think the light blue is "too feminine".
We are in a pandemic and these are masks for people who need them! They are not fashion accessories! My god!
Gotta love people who put their insecure masculinity above their health, if not their actual life: "I'm not wearing that mask even if it'll save my life, it's too sissy!" Shee.
I'd suggest using hair ties bc they work rly well if you need faster materials :/
I'm a man and I'd love to wear a sparkly unicorn flower mask because 1- liking / wearing cute shit doesn't mean I'm 'less of a man, and 2- you wear a mask to stop the spread of a deadly pandemic and to keep those around you safe. If as a man (or anyone really) you have a problem with that then there is something functionally wrong with you.
I'd just tell her no. She's using you.
Not MASKuline enough...
Well, why don't those guys "man up" and go around without a mask?
8:56 that is a profoundly ignorant statement during a lockdown. If the business has no income because they are not allowed to operate, how do they pay employees? That's why unemployment benefits were buffed for the pandemic expansion.
I’m pretty sure the person that wanted to do a fundraiser for the job just wanted job security since a place that does performance art can’t afford to stay open when a restaurant can only have around 1 or 2 people eating there.
Those staff will now have no job go back too and I don’t think it was for the owner but for the business. Knowing business owners, I can say many live middle class or even lower. Depending on the company. That says that people have a true hatred for anyone who runs a business.
Especially since the fundraising wasn't the owners' idea, I agree. It sounded like they wanted to help the theater stay afloat until it's in the position of possibly rehiring
Exactly, he just wanted to keep the place afloat, so they all would have a job later on. Unfortunately most people think that business owners are millionaires or something. Now they will have to look for a job when the pandemic is over
And seeing how few of those small theaters exist anymore, there might not be anything like it ever again in their area.
And if the fundraiser was successful then the preforms(staff) have a new income stream :)
But I can understand why some staff would want to say "The owners can just go get a job and raise the money themselves" or "The owners told me not to work for them so I cant help"
PS what are the overheads that are forcing the 'collapse'? weren't utilities, rent, and interest suppose to be suspended in such circumstances?
CB: "My children are dying."
"If you only spend $6.00 on feeding them, I wonder why.."
They always say "take it or leave it" as if they're offering a good deal lmao
And then they're never ever happy with an answer of "I'll leave it, thanks"
I saw one post:
CB: "Take it or leave it"
OP: "Okay, I'll leave it"
CB: "What? You can't do that!"
So why make the "offer" if one isn't allowed to refuse it?
They always act like they're doing you such a big favour by lowballing you
"Take it or TAKE IT!"
0 out of 5 butt holes for the actor who wanted to help the owners. Genuinely kind and caring for the dude to try and find a way to help. Understandable that the other actors didn't want to help, but blaming a business for failing because the government will arrest you for trying to operate is wrong.
yeah, I think 5/5 was pretty unreasonable when the dude was trying to secure the jobs for the future, not necessarily the present. His argument is kinda invalid, since a lot of restaurants and other stores need customers to function and get money. What else is the business supposed to do, especially the smaller ones? It's not really their fault.
It was just an employee, too. I'd agree with if the owners were asking for a fundraiser, but they weren't. This is someone acting out of compassion for a small business 0/5 for sure
Yeah I think he got that one way wrong I am glad I am not the only one that thinks so. In fact I give the slashman 5/5 for trying to make this good natured person feel bad.

WHAT IF WE CALLED THE MANAGER TOGETHER... jk jk... unless... 😳😳😳
Wat unless we all karens
Normally I typically agree with your assessment of the butthole rating, but this time I disagree completely.
To say that if a business shouldn’t exist if they can’t pay their employees. Period. Is kind of cruel.
Normally yes. That would be the case sure.
But how do you expect a business who is a live theatre, presumably a small theatre troop because most people don’t want to pay the $25-$50 fee to go see a live play, so they scrape by anyways
To support itself during a pandemic? When no one is going out? When gatherings are limited? It’s not that the business failed. It’s that there’s a pandemic.
When owning a small theatre like that. The owners usually give up more than they should to help keep it afloat. But to say they shouldn’t be there? Really?
This same situation happened in a nearby town where I live and all the actors and community jumped on the opportunity to help.
Sure there may be facts we don’t know
But OP didn’t force the staff to do a virtual show. They asked if anyone wanted to volunteer. They could have just said no.
The community doesn’t have to donate.
No one is being forced to do anything.
I didn't think it was completely unreasonable either. I thin rslash saw the higher ups as a faceless board of corporate directors, when its probably just an old person with a passion for the art
Yeah, it wasn't like they were being forced or threatened. They were asked.
@@Freekymoho I completely agree. Typically when you think of owners, that is what you think, and I hold the same opinion, but I grew up loving live theatre, both performing and watching. It's a community, and a dying one at that. Most Theatres can't pay their actors, and it's nearly all volunteer based.
I do think it would have been nice for OP to make the fundraiser for everyone, or the theatre itself, so when it is safe, they don't have to worry about going negative when paying the actors again.
But I just don't think OP was being a butthole for doing what they were doing. They were trying to do a nice thing.
The OP was inconsiderate.
@@adamgrace7976 OP: "Hi. Would you care to help us raise money for our theatre? It would help ensure that you and I still have a place to work when the lockdown en-.." Adam Grace: "How DARE you!"
"If the business can't afford to pay the employees, then that business shouldn't exist. Period."
Normally I would agree but times like these, I can safely say, that it's way too easy for you to be all high and mighty, making money by reading reddit post, at your home. Your business, or income isn't affected by this isolation.
Agreed. On the contrary, more people have been on RUclips more often because of the lockdown, lol.
That's the risk you are taking for living in a capitalist society. Do you really expect people to work for free and die of starvation themselves to support the company or the business ?
No, the employees will do whatever they need to do to SURVIVE, if that means bankrupting your poorly led business, then so be it.
You realize that RUclips creators are also suffering like 40% ad revenue decrease too right?
@@Zamolxes77 your not wrong but you idea is also short term thinking. If the business survies those jobs may all come back sooner than if the company went under. Im sure the employees doing the fund raising could of made some arrangement the be the first inline for there jobs as soon as things kick off. Its not certain they would get these jobs back but its certain they won't if they dont help.
@@jamesn0va if the employees had shares or were otherwise compensated during the good times it might make sense for them to hold on but as it stands, the employer wants them to continue to sell themselves, but without compensation this time
It only makes sense to volunteer if you want that job to be there when this is all over. I am not sure where op is from but I bet there is not a whole lot of full time acting work.
That's what I thought.... OP doesn't want to "give money to the owners" like they are going on holiday with it. there are taxes, rent, mortgages(etc) to pay even when the business is not operating.
This is one of the only times I ever disagreed with Rslash.
He only asked if they would be willing to help, not that they'd have to.
I guess they don't realize that if the business folds they will not have a job to go back to when this crap ends.
Having worked in local theatre, YES. Even a paid acting job (like my local dinner theatre) is a community. A lot of the same actors are in almost every show, and the whole community (both locals and theatre folk) would ABSOLUTELY pitch in to help if we heard it was in trouble. A theatre isn't "a job"; it's a home.
Good point. We don't know anything about that job, except that it's serving at a restaurant, and it has an artistic director. The reality of this story can be anything from the restaurant as a warm, tightly nit community of actors who see this place as a second home and their fellow staff members as a second family, OR on the opposite extreme, a waitress job with the added stress of having to deal with an owner's son who forces you to help him live out his failed Broadway dreams by participating in bad dinner theater along with all your actual duties. The truth is probably somewhere in between, but where is something we'll never know for sure.
But we do know that the people who actually know the answer to that question don't seem to want to help with a fundraiser. And don't mind pissing off the boss by telling him so. Call me crazy but that says this isn't a 'home' this is a job, and one with numerous employees who have decided they don't mind if they never have to come back to it.
Dude.. a theater restaurant type thing needs to pay rent, marketing stuff, electricity and all the other things conected (like food or whatever they serve they had to throw away, maybe a big loan they need to pay of ect. "MONEY FOR THE OWNER" is more like money for the place you work at to keep it going... They are all out if a job when the place closes...
@Skylynxify Reborn If they are temporarily shut down, they are still paying for utilities and rent. Most utility companies will charge a base fee if you don't use x amount of service. Also things like wifi, sometimes can't be cut off because you are in a contract so you can't just pause the service. Things like electricity has to still be used because there are things plugged in and they use electricity, not to mention they still have to run air conditioning because damage to the items can be really bad if they don't circulate air. If the humidity, heat, or cold (Though probably not cold because it is summer) sets in, it can damage your stuff. I've had that happen to me loads of times in storage units or garages.
The employees that were laid off are getting unemployment. Actors in theatres like this are typically contractor based. When the theatre opens again, they will go and audition again, and they will have a job.
I don't think you understand what theatre life is like.
@@Chi.jubilee damm,thanks alot for writing that 😂 saves me the effort 👍
As a person who is in theatre this very much is the case. I do BOTH paid and volunteer work. All of our theaters are closed so a lot of us are unable to perform. Since most of our income comes from shows (that actually goes to a council not individual people) that money then goes to pay for the building and the upkeep (rent, utilities, general grounds keeping) it’s also used to make sure we have another season AFTER the pandemic. Playwrights are not cheap nor is the equipment and staff. People look at the arts as if they work like other businesses. They don’t...some of us have to sacrifice to do what we love so that everyone else can enjoy whatever fake happy they want to hide behind.
Not to mention why does everyone make it seem like the owners had a choice in laying the staff off if by law you have to close your business how do you expect to pay the workers when a vast majority of your income comes from you being open and performing
Der Kerl they were fired so they can't get unemployment
As an actor, I’m not even surprised over that artistic director. Some people in the theatre world really feel like the opportunity to work should be all you really need to keep going.

"Now I'm without chairs for my table."

"If a business can't afford to pay their employees, then that business shouldn't exist. Period."
RSlash forgot about several charities.
Many charities are volunteeries
What R/Slash said is a very stupid thing to say because many small, family, and home grown business cant pay (get contacts and earn money in home business case) their employees in the current pandemic. SO should they not exist?
That's why they're called 'charities' and not 'businesses', businesses make money/profit.
Rslash forgot that not all business are international millionaire companies, most of them are small business that took a lot amount of time and work to actually open, with the pandemic tons of them are gonna close leaving a lot of people unemployed and another more are gonna loose all there savings.
I understand the "why should I do something for free to make u rich" that is implied but not all business are corporate evils, if OP came with that idea after working 25 YEARS there then maybe is not a horrible place to work.
@@skarjj1 Nope, they shouldn't. Last I checked, USA was short something like 3 million welders alone (about 2 years ago). Is a very well paid job and is really needed, but is dirty. On top of that there are millions more openings in jobs like mechanics, machinists, metal workers, electricians, etc.
But I guess staying home and complaining about how your home business is hard hit is easier.
Welcome to capitalism.
"Can you guys work for free?"
"What? No."
And they're somehow *surprised* by that response
For the talent show one I disagree. Though we don’t know their situation, many companies temporarily laid off their employees to 1) save money 2) so that they can get the unemployment with the extra pandemic money. For some, it’s more than they normally make, for others, it should be enough to hold people over without running the company into even more debt. If anything, taking initiative to help keep their workplace from closing completely may benefit the workers in the long run as the economy reopens. Them doing that could mean the difference of a job for them and their other coworkers.
Meanwhile, how are they suppose to EAT ? Pay rent ? Pay water and electricity ? You don't want to answer that do you ?
@@Zamolxes77 They did answer that in the post you just replied to... Unemployment. The business certainly can't pay them when they have no customers. I'm not sure what the rules are exactly, but I'm sure i'm it's harder for a business owner to collect unemployment than an employee. Particularly when they're still technically 'in business'.
That one about the small business is way off base. They were a viable company that employed these people until they were forced to close by things outside their control. The employees can collect unemployment while the company goes out of business and when the lock down is over you wont have a job to come back to.
I play your videos every night as I get ready for bed. My cat, who is scared of everyone that isn’t me (he’s an old boy I adopted last year) and often runs off when I play videos in bed, is so familiar with your voice that he comes and snuggles down when he hears you. I don’t think I could pay you a higher compliment.
Hey man, gunna be honest, not sure why you gave that one guy a 5/5 butthole rating. He didn’t do anything except try to help people. You may not like the people who he was trying to help, and that’s fair, but you can’t rate someone as a butthole for genuinely and honestly trying to help their fellow man.
And the “if you can’t afford to pay your employees, you don’t deserve to be in business” comment is valid, except for the fact that they did pay their staff until they had to close for 3 MONTHS. I don’t know if a single company in the world that could close for three months and pay their staff during the entire time. It’s just an unreasonable standard man. Plus, helping the owners is in the interest of the employees so that once they can reopen, they will have jobs again.
Look regarding the manager or whatever he was that asked his staff to volunteer. Here's a part no one took into account when criticizing him. "Why are you bending over backwards to help the owners. So what if they're in dire straights"
Because if you want to keep your job; THE COMPANY STILL NEEDS TO EXIST. THAT IS WHAT THE OWNERS WERE SAYING. THEY DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO SUSTAIN THE BUSINESS, MEANING IF THEY DIDN'T GET MORE FUNDS THE BUSINESS WOULD BE UNABLE TO REOPEN. All those people who are currently laid off(including I would assume the manager who made the post), are only laid off until the business is allowed to reopen. BUT if the business CAN'T reopen when the time comes due to a lack of funds, the workers will go from temporarily laid off to fully unemployed.
People are getting a lot more than usual on unemployment right now; they'll be fine. But those boosted unemployment rates will end as everything reopens so they NEED their job to go back to. If the business/owners lost too much money from the shutdown and is forced to permanently close, what are the those workers meant to do? Think before you harp on people
The guy is lucky that op gave him a guitar because that guitar could've had sentimental value to him or her but they were still kind enough to give them their old guitar

@@emtims1670 - Exactly what I was gonna comment, too.
But what about the people that get told by everyone they know IRL they're an asshole, and post that story? It might seem obvious to us, outside of the situation, but they might be in one where they legit wonder if they're the asshole because everyone else they know is telling them so - and well, a mass of internet strangers more likely to disassemble your post completely, and are known to not pull punches sounds like a good place to get judged.
I will agree some of these stories are just looking for validation, but not everyone I think. :/ probably a lot of these kinds people get judged for upvote seeking when they really do need the help. but that's just my two cents, and sort of playing devil's advocate. hope everyone is having a good day!
@@aPerfectFallacy I agree. When everyone you know is calling you a turtle, it gets easy to imagine seeing scales or a shell in the mirror. A good group of people who've never spoken to you or anyone you know in a day in your lives can set things back into perspective.

It never stops to amaze me how critical and judgmental rslash is on topics he clearly doesn’t know about. With the theater post, OP was not a butthole nor were the owners of the theater. There is a HUGE problem with the “if a business can not afford to pay the employees x amount, then they shouldn’t have a business at all.” Obviously rslash has never run a business nor had to deal with payroll. For those who don’t know, the vast majority of businesses are NOT super successful. A “successful” business is being able to have a low middle class income for the employees and maybe a high middle class income for the owners. Most businesses CANNOT withstand weeks being closed, let alone months. The reason so many people are demanding states reopen is because they know that if they don’t start making money, their businesses have to close...forever. Many of the businesses that laid people off, like the theater in the post, actually told their employees “hey, we are laying you off, FOR NOW, but the second we reopen, you will have your jobs back.” In fact, many businesses “laid off” employees so those employees would qualify FOR unemployment. This is why the vast majority of the unemployment claims right now are for temporary unemployment. People know that their bosses don’t want to close, but have to, and once they can open up, those jobs are saved for the people who had them prior to the close. Thus Theater OP was trying to help the owners because they knew the owners might lose their business completely. OP wanted to raise money so that there would BE a job after the quarantine. This is why many politicians are asking for loans for SMALL businesses, so that those jobs don’t vanish when this all ends. OP gets 0 out of 5 buttholes for understanding if the owners lose the theater, everyone will still be unemployed after the quarantine. Rslash gets 2 out of 5 buttholes for only thinking about the servers and not the owners and for being so quick to judge when he clearly doesn’t know all the facts.
This one really irritated me, the performing arts is struggling so much in this pandemic as those businesses run on such small margins. I don't see how trying to put on a fundraiser for a struggling business makes someone an asshole, so many of my friends who work in theatre have been doing the exact same.
I agree. OP also said they worked there for 25 years. This theater obviously means more to them than just a job if they are still there and trying to save it. Another reason they would want to save the theater than just lining the owners pockets.
made a comment in the same vein. your comment is rather general. but this lockdown hits the entertainment and arts industry twice as hard, as usual, entertainment and art are the first things people cut back on.
Thanks for commenting this! OP must have titled it wrong since from the title alone, its pretty problemaric but I agree with what you said 100%
I hope people realize this perspective and not twist it in a way that the owners are greedy selfish people when there's reason for it
This. Small businesses are just people. They are a team effort, and often times the owners don't benefit much more than (or even as much as) the employees. I think there is a common misconception that all employment is exploitation, and all employer-employee relations are inherently adversarial and zero sum. That tends to be the case more often as companies grow, and especially become investment vehicles, but not at small dinner theater scale. This guy has worked there 25 years, and likes his job, and he asks others if they like their job to try to save it. And patrons to do the same if they like the business. This is just how communities work. No harm in asking.
RSlash is litteraly the best thing to watch/listen while doing dishes or laundry. Thank you so much for the great content!
The owners COULD pay for their employees. Now, they can’t and if they keep not paying it, everybody will lose their jobs, instead of just a few people. Even if this includes the owners, it’s better to keep the business running rather than let it go, because some people cant handle the financial burden if the business goes under. I understand that they should be able to pay, but unfortunately, now they can’t.
And because they can't pay their former employees are being asked for charity. It is up to the employees to decide if this business, if those jobs, are worth saving, and based on this story they have roundly decided the answer is no.
That alone tells me this "dinner theater" company isn't worth saving.
All of you seem to have forgotten that the employees don't have any income either, given that they lost their jobs.

9:00 Yikes Rslash, you really don't understand how incredibly hard that kind of business is. 0/5 buttholes for OP from me; He's looking out for an employer who's stayed loyal to him for 25 years.
Most small scale theaters like this require outsourced funding to stay up and running even without the pandemic running rampant. I think you should have a more educated position before you fall into more prejudice.
1:18 If they really wanted to learn how to play the guitar, they would buy the guitar themselves.
That move conversation reminds me of me helping my sister clean her apartment when she moved.
(tldr; My sister thinks it's my fault that she can't be assed with regular home maintenance.)
Me and my room mate had told my sister that we were available for one weekend only (Nov 16-17, this is important), and with both of our jobs, that was the only time we were available to help her. We had told her this several times. I got a message on the monday (Nov 11) before that she hadn't been able to move all her things, but it should be cleared for me to come in on the Friday (Nov 15). I told her I wasn't available that day, so it was fine. On the Friday, she texted me and said that there was still a bunch of furniture left, but that it would be taken care of on the Saturday. She also asked if I really needed the vacuum cleaner before finishing up on the Monday. I reminded here that I wasn't available on the Monday. She hissed at me that I wouldn't be able to finish all the cleaning in one day. I was naive enough to think that she had actual done some cleaning at all, you know, like you do when I live some where, so I said I was sure me and my room mate could do it in one day. Boy, was I wrong. She hadn't even vacuumed for a month (I know this, because there were tufts of dog hair everywhere, and her dog had passed away from old age about a month prior). I took me 6 hours to just clean her 12 sqm kitchen. My hands hurt for a week from all the cleaning gunk that had seeped into my gloves. When we leave at 7 pm, my sister and my dad are both asking me when we're coming back to finish. I remind them, AGAIN, that we can't come back before she moves. Eventually, my room mate is an angel and finds a whole in her, at the time, insane schedule, and goes over to do the last vacuuming.
We later got lectured by my sister that the apartment manager found dust during the inspection. The inspection was two weeks after we cleaned. My sister had not gone back to check if dust had accumulated during those two weeks, so I got yelled at by her.
If it was that bad than dust was the least of her concerns.
Maybe they are cheap but cleaning companies exist for a reason.
You and roommate aren't a free cleaning service.
You should have just walked away and tell her to hire a cleaning service. A family is not a free source of labor.
I hate so much when "yard sale" websites like Facebook marketplace or Kijiji get people who complain about "bad customer service." You're not a customer! It's not a business!

In the situation that he talked about it was extremely uncalled for the business had a closed because of pandemic . how is that any of it the companies fault. the fact that one person wanted to help out and asked others to isn't there a reason to be called an a hole.
@Wes Prang so have I plenty of times, from employers that turned out to be scumbags in the end, but there is a difference here, in our town we had a great inn and hotel that were very good towards their employees, and customers, giving them plenty food for a fair price, they went bankrupt because of them having to stay closed due to the pandemic and the rent they had to pay to the place is so steep they could not work it out in the end,
in this particular case it was more than fair to try help the employers if they were good, and I like rSlash but in this particular case he himself reacted like a bit of an A**hole himself, we all have to lean in and help each other in these trying times,
9:01 I really felt that "Period."😔🖐🏾
The guitar story: if you're still learning you don't need an expensive or even a mid quality guitar. Sure cheaper ones can be finicky, but new players often bump and scratch their guitars. I have a secondhand guitar that my brother passed down to me when he upgraded. The original value was only $30. While I had to tune it every time I used it, it served me very well. While I was careful, I didn't end up having an absolute panic attack any time it gained a new scratch on it. It still sounded good especially since I maintained the strings. I'll be getting a new guitar as soon as I can afford it, but I will not be paying more than $300 for it simply because I know I'm not ready to possess something more valuable. Handmedown guitars can be really special too. If his "friend" is really so upset that op treated himself to a fine guitar, they can buy their own and pay someone else a lot of money every week for lessons.
LOL the guy with the guitar... I can think of somebody who would be finding their own Craigslist buy and coughing up for those lessons, or not learning how to play for the time being
For the guy asking people to work for free.I don't think he was the butt hole. There are multiple small theaters that have the type of service of show food beverage bar. If you've been with a company for a long time you want to see it succeed and sometimes you are willing do things for free because you love it so much. Since this was a theater it's very understandable. So I don't think they deserves 5 out of 5 butthole probably just around 1 out of 5. He tried to do a good thing, but other laid off workers were unwilling or unable to help out.
I work at a pizza place, and I've gotten several calls from Karens saying stuff like "the pizza arrived cold and I have 3 starving children here!" And since we have their addresses, I really wanna tell them "wait, your children are starving?! I'm calling CPS right now, those poor kids!" I'd probably get fired tho 😂

A friend of my wife's, (a girl she works with at night) started making masks for $3.00 each. Some of her other co-workers thought that they should be free because "they work together and need to lookout for each other!" F-me, $3.00 dollars for your health and protection of your co-workers. I asked my wife to order two and paid $10.00 each as a thank you. All the people who asked for free masks work with NO interruption in pay and actually got bonuses. Hope to shame some cheap choosing beggers but I highly doubt it.

Total disagreement on the dinner theater story. This person was trying hard to keep the business afloat and it sounds like they simply neglected to mention that it was to GET THEM EMPLOYED AGAIN.
You seem to have forgotten that they JUST LOST THEIR INCOME.
I don't work for free. I worked for a doctor , who was financially well off. He would dock us for being even a minute late or clocking in early. One night , he asked me to drive him home, off the clock of course. He didn't offer to pay for gas or the bridge toll that taking him home would involve. I explained that I was on a very tight budget and didn't have the extra money to take on the extra costs of taking him home. He had a major hissy fit. I suggested that he call his wife or take a cab. I walked away and went home. Shortly afterwards, he started laying off employees, including myself. The last I heard was that he shut down his practiced and "retired.
About the story with the business that’s going under due to the virus.
“A business that can’t pay their employees shouldn’t stay up at all. Period.” Like come on dude. I know this is a video and all but ending any sentence with “period” makes you sound like you’re on top of a high horse.
This isn’t a “they were a shitty business so they failed “ this isn’t a “they treated their staff poorly so they failed” this isn’t a “they weren’t a good entertainment business so they failed” this is “we got shut down for months out of nowhere” a lot of people are struggling. A lot of people have no income. And asking former employees to do one show to get it back up and rolling is a fantastic idea. They’ll have their jobs back! And I think that’s fantastic. And they’re not demeaning it. They’re asking for volunteers. There’s no harm in that at all.
Not exactly, they are asking for slaves, not taking into account slaves have to eat too. If they "volunteer" to work at their previous job for free, how are they gonna earn cash to pay for their food, rent, bills, etc ? Where is the money that comes from the government supporting the business ? Into the owner's pockets, that's where, not into the pockets of the employees.
I believe asking actor to act for free is called armature theater. Period
You obviously don’t own a business. First of all my employees that are laid off are all collecting and also receiving $600 a week extra from the coronavirus stimulus( thank god. At least I know they’re ok until we reopen). The government money for businesses is not that easy to get my friend and if and when you do get it there’s a ton of restrictions on it. It’s not going in my pocket. I can’t use it to buy cars and vacations. It’s to keep my business alive and can only be used on payroll and utilities. Every dollar had to be accounted for and I will be responsible to prove I used it only for what the government say I’m allowed to use it for and only so much if forgivable and the rest is just a loan. So that money that you think is going right in our pockets is just a life line to help us stay open and a good portion will have to be paid back. Just an FYI. Hope your healthy. Be safe and take care
the guy who bought the nice guitar and let his friend use his other one is actually a SAINT, because im a guitarist and i know how much of a nightmare it is to learn on a really nice guitar, i tried to learn with a dean pantera dimebag signature with a floyd rose bridge which was 900 dollars, restringing it was a nightmare, it was 24 fretted instead of the usual 22, and just too complicated at the time so i settled on buying a les paul special model 2 for 150 dollars, SO much easier to use, restring, and play in general because it was marketed and made FOR beginners. Kudos to that man
WTF, 5/5 for wanting to do an online show? I don't see the problem in asking for that to save a business. Presumably people might actually care about the place they work and want to see it survive.
Agree and disagree. I don't know if the owners were pushing this or if it was the manager. But will say the online show is a great idea. However staff should be paid IMO unless they explicitly say don't worry about it. Just saying come back to work however you're not getting paid is an asshole move. Some of these people may be in serious financial trouble.
I don't know if they could do something like say a percentage would go to the staff and another would be used to keep the doors open. Clarify the theater needs x minimum to stay open, the rest will go to staff and anything over y amount will be used to support another desperate program. All while maintaining the fact that staff will get a portion regardless.
edit:
Giving the manager the benefit of doubt maybe the heart was in the right place but not the thought process. 3/5 if that is the case. Really need more info.
And this kind of tales tell me R/ fired his reddit screener so he could stash more bucks. Pretty ironic if you tell me.
This is a sticky situation. Did the employees get unemployment? Did they have to try to find other employment? Not everyone has the luxury of donating their time and services when dealing with the financial difficulties brought on by this pandemic. Most people are hanging on by their fingertips financially in good times.
It is lame to work for free, though.
Right! There’s a lot of nuances to the situation. 5/5 was just too much, at most 1/5 if anything because op just wants to help a business they care about and it’s not like they are forcing anyone. Op just suggested a fun Wiley to raise money and we have all seen way worse managers and choosing beggars.

"If a business can't afford to pay their employees, then that business shouldn't exist. Period."
While I would normally agree, I do not agree because of the current situation. Covid makes a hard time for a lot of businesses.
Yes, it's sad that they had to fire the staff, but you're basically demanding the owners to ruin themselves for unforeseeable circumstances - which would result into the same dire financial straits they're into now.
And also: It's kind of shocking to hear you asking why someone would try and help their boss of 25 years. I'm pretty sure that if you stay in a company for 25 years, then you've become friends or even like a second family, as it was the case with my father and his work. If you're not, then you're doing something wrong or you're pretty dumb... But I guess that's the thinking way of today's generation: Just fuck bosses, because they're bosses, no matter what. They've been helping you for 25 years to get through your life and now that they are struggling, just fuck them as you don't get anything out of them anymore.
