Always love that "I pay your wages" line. Like, no you don't. Even if they worked at that place you don't pay their wages, you buy stuff you want there because either it's location is convenient, the price is cheaper than other places, or the quality is better making the higher price worth it. If you were "paying their wages" you would still give money to the company even if you weren't buying stuff, or give extra. And no one does that.
The reply in that situation to "I pay your wages" is: "No, the company pays my wages. If you vanished off the face of the Earth, almost nobody would care and the company wouldn't even notice."
"You dressed like an employee, so you most work here". Oh really? Well love, you dressed like someone who stands on a street corner at night. So does that mean you actually give those kind of SERVICES? "Surprise Pikachu Face".
That's almost as good as the story about the bouncer who was being berated by a drunk woman because he wasn't allowing her inside (because she was drunk) and he said something like "Do I tell you how to suck off fat slobs in an alleyway for $5 a time? Well, don't tell me how to do my job." Even funnier is that she seemingly didn't get what he meant (probably because of being drunk). And according to the story nobody listening laughed, presumably because a drunk and belligerant woman isn't funny.
i think some of our customers have the same attitide as the woman in the last story. they can't understand why the wait is so long, even though they can clearly see how many cars have been waiting in our drivethru ahead of them. or they think we must live there or never close because we are still there after closing even though our lobby lights are turned off. we have had people ask, after being greeted and told that we had already closed for the night, if we have any food to give or sell to them. once we close, the food is put away and we begin cleaning because we want to go home, preferably before the sun comes up (we close at 2 A.M.). or they blame us if we run out of something and won't cook more when they decide to get food 15 or even only 5 minutes before we close. it's like they think that is all our life is about, serving them. even if it is only for a month or two, i think everyone should work a job in retail or fast food. then some of those "you have to help me regardless" attitudes might change. even if only in a few cases.
If that lady in the last story actually works in retail, I promise you it’s not as a cashier and probably probably never has been. If we’re lucky, she’s going to wind up on the wrong end of an r/MaliciousCompliance story someday as the entitled store or district manager who finally overloaded the camel with too much straw.
"Well, if _you_ work in retail and know how things work, why don't _you_ hop on up and open a till yourself, luv?" This woman never outgrew believing teachers live at the school.
Lol burst out laughing with the dirt comment. Lets look at more dirt. Lol, then narrator saying I hope nice Rob is not wearing pajamas. A two-fer! Still lol-ing
Scars are very useful for scaring people. I was in shop class once, and one of the would-be punks (idiot who thought he was a gangster because profanity and rap were his main forms of communication) was pissing me off by make lewd comments about every girl that walked past the room. I told him to shut up, and his response could be summarized as "I could kick your ass, but since I'm polite, I won't kick your ass. But if you talk to me like that again, I will kick your ass." My response to this was to pull up my shirt and show him some nasty looking surgical scars on my torso, and asked him "what did you f*cking say to me?" His eyes damned near popped out of his skull and he wilted real quick. "That's what I though, now siddown and shut your mouth, or I'll show you what the other guy looks like." This would start a one-sided rivalry that lasted for two years, and frequently left him humiliated.
Love these stories ❤️ my daughter works retail for a not small nationwide company and tells me there are at least three or more Karen sightings/ interactions per week.. lol
Crikey, I've listened to loads of these 'I don't work here' and I'm astonished at the sheer bad manners. If I approach someone in a shop for directions I ask them first 'Do you work here' if it's a no, then I apologise for bothering them. Even if I see an obvious store worker pushing a trolley I ask, 'Are you on duty?' Lastly I always ask if they can help me, they may have duties elsewhere, they may be two minutes from clocking off, they may be too young for the alcohol aisle, they maybe dealing with another customer. Theres lots of reasons for not being available 'right this second' to deal with a person. I pity any real life birth named Karen's, being tarred with that brush must be horrendous.
Wow, that happens to me all the time also. I am always yelling "Where are the marigolds" i different places. Usually someone reminds me I'm in Taco Bell, the location of the marigolds is unknown.
Fifteen years ago I was shopping at the store where I work. A lady approached me and said "I know you aren't on the clock, but can you help me." I responded "It is illegal for me to work off the clock." Lady: "I'm not asking you to work, just help me." Me: "Helping you is work." She complained, I was lectured and for the last fifteen years all my personal shopping has been done at a competitor. (Just a touch of malicious compliance to go along with the "I do work here".)
At *WALMART* you must be on the clock (or salaried management) to cashier...AND it only works at your own store...I assume other brand of stores are the same exact way
I love watching these videos. they actually help ease tension during my 15 minute breaks at work! thanks redwheel for all the work you do to bring us these stories everyday!
Not many company Directors would make the offer he did ( buying the guys phone number) and paying his bill for a year, he would most likely have been told sod-off or tough luck. I am in the U K
this crap about the pizza place had been going on for two weeks and the manager tells me that he can't get ahold of anyone that can do anything about it well that my friend is where you would start to lose business because I would tell everyone who called that we are closed for remodeling be back open in about three months
The first story needs an English-Oilrigger dictionary. According to Urban Dictionary, Baja Canada refers to the “lower 48 states,” which means all the states except Alaska and Hawaii. This would, one would think, include Illinois, where O’Hare International Airport is located. So how would someone fly into O’Hare and then travel north to a place that they are already in?
There's got to be a Reddit space out there somewhere for customers that have actually been lied to by retail people about working in a store. There's way too many people screaming "Don't lie to me!" for there not to be some truth to it somewhere.
People are that stupid. I was on my way home from my old job at Target, realized I forgot to buy batteries, and stopped at Wal-Mart. Sure enough I was in my RED and Khakis, obviously NOT a blue vest and black pants, and someone gave the South Georgia version of "AHEM" which is "EXCUUUSE MEEE-A!" Sure enough, they thought I worked there, and was pissed when I said I work at Target the next town over. When he said he was going to find my manager, I asked him how good was the gas mileage on his vehicle because you won't find a Target ETL in a Wal-Mart!
I'm so sick of that "We pay your wages" bullcrap. No. The company pays the worker's wages. If the company loses money but the workers do their job, the company still legally owes the workers money. This is a business relationship concerning the exchange of services for money. Not a master slave relationship between the worker and the customer.
The Stupid is strong with us today. 🤤🐈🐺🌷(Closest I could get to a red kitty. Thank you Red Wheel and Kitty for today's plethora of pea heads. Stay sane, safe, and sassy😘
“I work in retail. I know how it works.” Where the fuck do you work that you can open a till in any of the other stores that you are not employed by? Crazy *cough cough* ahem lady
that pizza story is fake. I've already heard something very similar though it had a completely different build up but the 4442 /4422 was pretty much the same.
Always love that "I pay your wages" line. Like, no you don't. Even if they worked at that place you don't pay their wages, you buy stuff you want there because either it's location is convenient, the price is cheaper than other places, or the quality is better making the higher price worth it.

when you were reading that first story i was like , " i like that guy! " he's a character i could enjoy spending a few hours exchanging stories with!
I love the tone of voice of the narrator and the way he delivers the stories👏👍❤️
It reminds me of Kermit the Frog: friendly and kindly!
Yes he does, it leaves you to think what he looks like, might not be the same if you saw him on the telly.
I like his voice. Some are weird
Ya he sounds like the host on the tv series Expedition Unknown...Josh Gates
i think some of our customers have the same attitide as the woman in the last story. they can't understand why the wait is so long, even though they can clearly see how many cars have been waiting in our drivethru ahead of them. or they think we must live there or never close because we are still there after closing even though our lobby lights are turned off. we have had people ask, after being greeted and told that we had already closed for the night, if we have any food to give or sell to them. once we close, the food is put away and we begin cleaning because we want to go home, preferably before the sun comes up (we close at 2 A.M.). or they blame us if we run out of something and won't cook more when they decide to get food 15 or even only 5 minutes before we close. it's like they think that is all our life is about, serving them. even if it is only for a month or two, i think everyone should work a job in retail or fast food. then some of those "you have to help me regardless" attitudes might change. even if only in a few cases.

'Kasnebraskastan'....it's been 3 minuets...still laughing...it hurts...but i can't stop laughing
"Let's go look at these bags of dirt." "No, I've seen enough of her already."
"Well, if _you_ work in retail and know how things work, why don't _you_ hop on up and open a till yourself, luv?"
This woman never outgrew believing teachers live at the school.
That's so true!!
Karen: "I work in retail, so I know how it goes"
OP: "Oh great! Then jump on the till and take my order."
Lol burst out laughing with the dirt comment. Lets look at more dirt. Lol, then narrator saying I hope nice Rob is not wearing pajamas. A two-fer! Still lol-ing
I love shopping in my leather with all the patches! I don't work anywhere!
I'm pretty sure when she says "chokes grown men in pajamas" she means jiu-jitsu 😳 pretty sure 🤣
Wow, my migraine brain totally missed that!
Not just jujitsu, pretty much any martial art I'd guess...
I was feeling kind of sorry for her husband. Thanks for clearing that up :-)
Choking grown men in pajamas.... that one is epic!!!! Love it
@@Kayenne54 🤣🤣🤣
I thought she meant boyfriends and not the head on their shoulders.
Listening to you when I wake up makes my entire day!
Love the pajamas punch line! 🤣🤣🤣🤣💜💜👍
In that last one the attitude is " if you work at one branch of this store you work at ALL the branches of the store.
Just got home from work and going to lay down and listen to you lol
No! I don't work here, but I do come here very often! (He says about Redwheel) 👍😎🤘
My favorite r/ voice.
The woman in the probably does Judo/BJJ --> choking guys in pajamas.
"Let's go find some bags of dirt". It shouldn't have been hard. There was a dirt-bag following OP around.
I just love your sence of humor. Thank you for standing up for yourself. It sounds like you have many war stories. It would be fun to hear.
Last story: Its like some kids teacher asks "Why are you at this restaurant, arent you supposed to be a the elementary school you live there." Lol

Love these stories ❤️ my daughter works retail for a not small nationwide company and tells me there are at least three or more Karen sightings/ interactions per week.. lol
Do not feed the Karens!
If you would ask here a waiter for a glass of water he would respond: „Do you want to wash yourself?“.
Does she get hazard pay? I'm sure she deserves it lol.
Blessings to your daughter 💚 she must be an 👼👼👼
Last story: She said she works in retail and knows how it is. OP should have said 'well then why can't you open and run a register than?'
Maintenance guy strong with the force he is
Crikey, I've listened to loads of these 'I don't work here' and I'm astonished at the sheer bad manners.

If some came up to me and asked where the Marigolds were, I'm sure I would say the Polka-Dot-Door (it's a Canadian kids show) lol...
I always look for the isle numbers ,then add ten , give them that number .
Choked grown men for fun😂😂😂 One of the best descriptions of ju-jitsu, ever...
Wow, that happens to me all the time also. I am always yelling "Where are the marigolds" i different places. Usually someone reminds me I'm in Taco Bell, the location of the marigolds is unknown.
I laughed so hard during that 1st story. Just found these stories a few days ago. Best one I've heard during my binge so far....😆
Fifteen years ago I was shopping at the store where I work. A lady approached me and said "I know you aren't on the clock, but can you help me."

Festive I love this "leather up"
Angry American Scary Dude was hilarious. ...so mean he bit his fingers off. Freaking funny. Well told Dark Fluff and well written OP. 👏😁🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
All I was thinking of was the movie Tomcats library seen
I love watching these videos. they actually help ease tension during my 15 minute breaks at work! thanks redwheel for all the work you do to bring us these stories everyday!
For the librarian's story, I wish we had clarification on whether the men she strangles would be in pajamas or she would be in pajamas.
As to the first story I would have loved to see the look on that idiots face when op said he ate his own fingers and now is going to eat his.
Kasnebrakistan ! Priceless wordsmithing .
The more of these stories that I hear, the more I think that a lot of these people were dropped on their heads when they were little.
The best part is Nabrakstan
Not many company Directors would make the offer he did ( buying the guys phone number) and paying his bill for a year, he would most likely have been told sod-off or tough luck. I am in the U K
Karens have perception filters; They see only what agrees with them, hear only the echoes of their own projections, and learn... nothing.
Same here.
this crap about the pizza place had been going on for two weeks and the manager tells me that he can't get ahold of anyone that can do anything about it well that my friend is where you would start to lose business because I would tell everyone who called that we are closed for remodeling be back open in about three months
The comment by the narrator reminds me of when my boys were small. They thought their school bus driver lived in the bus.
The first story needs an English-Oilrigger dictionary. According to Urban Dictionary, Baja Canada refers to the “lower 48 states,” which means all the states except Alaska and Hawaii.

Rob WAS wearing pajamas.
Don't worry, it's totally consensual.
Now when you're chocking these men are you in pajamas or are they?
I'm so sick of that "We pay your wages" bullcrap. No. The company pays the worker's wages. If the company loses money but the workers do their job, the company still legally owes the workers money. This is a business relationship concerning the exchange of services for money. Not a master slave relationship between the worker and the customer.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
My son thought that his teachers lived in school when he was in nursery school!!
Morning Redwheel!
Great, Now I want to go home, dress smart and go look for DIRT... Thanks for that

Baja Canada??
Why don't YOU get on a till, lady?!
I choke grown men in their pajamas😂😂😂😂
After listening to these stories, I have no hope for the human race!
“I work in retail. I know how it works.” Where the fuck do you work that you can open a till in any of the other stores that you are not employed by? Crazy *cough cough* ahem lady
🤪😜 🤣😂 funny as h*ll
1st lollollollollol tks
that pizza story is fake. I've already heard something very similar though it had a completely different build up but the 4442 /4422 was pretty much the same.
As to the last story op should have said I don't think you're stupid. I know you're stupid.
