no the crying in the walk in is SO REAL. literally i have been FULL ON sobbing in there and a co worker has just passed me, patted me on the shoulder twice, grabbed a box of meat and left. once though, i was crying in there, and my favorite co worker came in and offered me her dab pen 😭♥️ beautiful moment of solidarity right there
My sister worked at Arby's and she's cried in the freezer as well. Why is the freezer such a cry spot? lol I guess it's cuz it's the only spot where you can be alone for a while, but still, I feel like the bathroom is better cuz there's a chance that someone could walk in on you in the freezer.

Tommy's human door anecdote is so relatable, I was at a theatre in Japan once and a older woman came and stood next to me. She took out her phone and called someone and told them she was "near the tall, black woman." Not even 30 seconds later another woman came walking up. I felt like a human bean pole. I did get a bit of joy when I looked at them and, in Japanese, said "Happy to help" just to see the color drain from their faces.
The freakiest thing about this whole episode was that I was listening to it on a plane, when shayne said this plan is going down, we had just landed. Perfect timing ig
Patiently waiting for a reddit video where the Smosh cast is all together cuddled up in their blankets and eating snacks listening to Shayne read reddit stories. Maybe for a Halloween episode where Shayne reads spooky/scary stories? 👀👻
YES! Pay for labor! My hairdresser of many years is also a good friend. I always paid her more than what she asked for, because she's just that good and I don't want to take advantage of people, least of all my friends. She recently became an exclusive bridal hair & make-up stylist (and sadly doesn't have time for normal hair appointments anymore) and when I asked her, if she had an opening for my wedding day, she was super stoked we'd spend the morning of the wedding together. I fully expected to get an invoice from her, but when I asked for it, she said no, she did it as a wedding gift. I loved that sentiment and wanted to honor it, but I also couldn't just not pay her. So I just transferred her the money I had budgeted for hair & make-up. I got a surprised call from her when it arrived on her account, telling me I was crazy for paying so much, but seriously, she did such an amazing job, got up so early for me, and I looked the best I ever had in my life. She earned it!!

If they do an episode with the "poop knife" they need to get everyone who been on the couch that hasn't heard the story all at once and get their reactions
It should be the biggest Reddit episode where they bring back SMOSH sleepover and have everybody in pajamas and a ton of guests as Shane reads it in front of a fireplace
Oh man, a halloween month episode of the grossest posts and stories would be amazing. Poop knife, swamps of degobah, poop window, rotten fetus, that poop furry, etc. Basically, do the stuff found on Whang!'s channel. Prolly can't do cumconut, mlp jar, one guy one jar, the jolly rancher story, blowfly girl, that kinda stuff. But there are plenty of gross tales that are somewhat advertiser friendly.
They should do a “classics” story so everyone can be on the same page. Maybe include the one about the guy getting handies from his mom Bc both his arms were broken
As someone who owns a DSLR, when she said that hers went missing in the roommate story my stomach dropped. If mine "went missing" I would be absolutely furious. Cameras and camera equipment/lenses are so fucking expensive
It's also taking away someone's hobby that can't just be easily replaced. Some people use photography to express themselves in a way they can't in words, or just as something to get outside. It's cruel and mean to take that away from someone
really? I feel like amanda has the one OMG reaction, gives the initial "asshole or no asshole" to revenge stories, and feels so fake, just not actually interested. It's typical though, usually guests have no idea how to give reactions or just dont get or aren't interested in reddit stories, idk why they still force guests on this. I'd rather listen without looking at the video if it weren't for shane. He's actually always carrying the whole reddit stories show, to me at least
@@phoenixnnqthere are plenty of reddit videos with just one person reading them out. I think the more unique format is what makes the smosh ones so good. if I just wanted to hear the stories, I’d read them… on reddit.
As a barista, I had a customer that A.) was banned at multiple other locations B.) screamed at me because trenta mochas don't exist C.) called his daughter a "fat bitch" in our cafe in front of other customers (loudly) D.) would moan over the speaker as a joke E.) refuses to talk to us at the window, instead forcing his daughter to reach over him to give us HER money (even when it was HIS items) F.) would yell at her to "get the fuck out of my face" when she was trying to hand us her money whilst shoving her G.) I called CPS on because his daughter (possibly jokingly) told me he abuses her, but I really didn't think it was a joke. He got banned soon after that last interaction, and I really don't know what happened to his daughter. I can only hope she's no longer staying with that Big-Ed lookalike.
I think there is a possibility that she was depressed cause I know that when I go back into a spiral my room gets baaaad. And it’s not that I’m ok with it, it’s. just I can’t bring myself to clean it
Not gonna lie: I re-started watching smosh and smosh-related content thanks to Anthony coming back, I never expected to find the reddit stories show so amusing and fun and now I wait for it every week like a weekly bedtime story reading
welcome back. there's a verifiable treasure trove across the main 3 channels, this is one of the best series of course but there's a TON of good shit in these last 6 years even during quarantine these folks made some bangers, and even a couple of great characters like aunt carolyn were invented there. i'd also advise let's do this, during which one current cast member convinced EVERYONE in the office other than those directly in on it of something epic that was a lie, all for free donuts.
I'm in the same page! It's been so good getting to know the other people of Smosh ( I only already knew Courtney and Shane from old sketched), and besides these reddit stories, i also really like their Smoshmouth podcast! Very amusing stuff in there.
For anyone that doesn't have many/any tatts and to answer Amanda's question. The story said it was a multi-day tattoo, which could mean that its a loooong process, and that, combined with the fact that the back is a soft, fleshy part (if the muscles aren't super defined) and the spine is one of the most painful places to be tattooed. When there's a constant pain, on a vulnerable part especially, you can't really tell where the pain is. Even smaller tattoos, depending on the artist, can feel like they are constantly drawing one line over and over. I can see how the woman in the story didn't notice.
Yeah dude, especially in a place where you obviously can’t look over to see what the artist is doing. I have a lot of tattoos and even while getting l some of my more visible ones done I’ll be like “okay this is probably the flower”, then I’ll look over and see that the artist isn’t even CLOSE to the flower lmfao
Yeah even my super simple rib tattoo was hard to feel the shape of. Because I just couldn’t see it. A multi day complicated back tattoo? Of course you can’t follow. That’s why we have to put so much trust in our artists. And the best way to be able to trust that they are doing their very best is to treat them with respect.
Omg my spine tattoo!! i was like omg i feel like you've been just pulling that same line/area for ever and he laughed and was like i literally just got to that part 🤣
Y’all should sneak in a fake Reddit story where a smosh member shares something that really happened about another smosh member (ex: Ian and Anthony)! But of course have them sitting there on camera unknowingly 😆
They’ve e already talked about this in SmoshCast. Shayne has said if anyone in the cast/crew can slip a fake Reddit story and get it read on camera and not get caught, Shayne will give that person a gift card.
When Shayne mentioned the poop knife i thought he was talking about that European explorer who got trapped under snow and ice and had to make a knife using his own poop to get out. So the fact i now know two poop knife stories is wild lmao.
@@foxyjambread3826 there's a channel called "Simple History" and they told the story of an explorer trapped under ice and had to use his poop to escape. Like i said it's wild!
I enjoy using these as background I listen to them like a podcast, and firstly I love this show and frequently re-run the episodes, I caught something new this time, a grown man who I 6’ 5” 160 and relatively active should absolutely be eating about 2500-3000 calories day, like that is totally normal lol
So i have a petty story. I used to work at a daycare that was associated with a church but in the loosest way possible. To skip a long story i got fired after putting a kid in time out for biteing me and trusting the other lady in the room to let her down while i was in the bathroom. It was the beginning of covid and I was a photographer trying to get off the ground. I had done the seasonal pictures for the room I worked in because the photo company couldn't send someone in. When i got fired i left alot of props in the room but they told me I wasn't allowed to be near the facility. So when my husband came home i sent him to get my stuff during the pick-up rush. Now this was also fresh off the capital riots where the pastor of the church was proudly posting tons of pictures of his own participation. So i told my husband who loudly asked the director of the daycare what actions were going to be taken as the pastor had been documented breaking the law. She apparently turned bright red and had to deal with a swarm of parents now very concerned about what was being taught to their children as my husband left with my stuff.
it's quite possibly the most florida thing he's ever said on camera. you tend to forget that he's literally from florida until an extremely southern analogy like that just comes out.
@@legendarien1075 yeah no, I’m agreeing with them but I’m also mentioning the possibility of other reasons as to why the roommate (Amy?) suddenly started trashing the apartment
Story time: I worked at Starbucks for six years, and I once had a customer who got the most insane drink order and was like this woman. She wanted her espresso shaken over ice so it would be cold, but then you had to strain out the ice because she didn’t actually want ice in her drink. She just wanted the espresso cold. Then she wanted cold foam on top, but no vanilla in the cold foam, and topped with cinnamon. This woman could not fathom that her drink order was confusing, even for me, and I was going into my fifth year with the company. We also had a lot of new partners just learning how to make drinks and take orders, so plenty of them got the order wrong. I found out after the fact that she stopped coming in because a coworker made her drink wrong three times in a row one day, which may or may not have been on purpose.
Idk how you made it 6 years. I made it 6 months but we were also a 24 hour drive thru store so I'm sure you can imagine. I would say that was easily one of the worst jobs I ever had. And for the record, I had a fair amount of Barista experience before starbucks, I loved being a Barista! Starbucks takes all the art and love out of the profession while never putting their foot down with the inappropriate behavior from their customers. We were so abused by our customers, some were very inappropriate with our underage girls but management would encourage them to keep flirting for tips (which management was "taking their share" of btw, pretty sure that's illegal or at least against policy i'd hope). Screw that place.
@@Taygon45 unfortunately I was a supervisor, so I was like two steps down from a manager myself, and apart from her I did enjoy my job. What really upset me about her though was the attitude. She treated all of us like idiots for getting her order wrong, even if you weren’t the one taking the order or making it! I first encountered her in the drive thru window when I tried to hand out what was made, and she’s like, “no that’s not right.” Apparently we were the only Starbucks she went to that, “never seemed to make it right,” which I highly doubt. Also one of my coworker’s first language wasn’t English and was still learning how to take orders, so that added another level of confusion when her order was being taken. Did the customer try and go slower, or make it easier for that barista to understand? No. She treated her like an idiot, just like she treated the rest of us, but it certainly pissed me off more.
Omg, smosh pairing up with the lawyer from Legal Eagle for a Reddit Stories would be insane, a collab I never thought I'd see coming, but one most welcome.
@@VJSharpeyes Keith (Try Guys) did say that the buffer a comedian gets, the less funnier they become, which is why Shayne and Damien have been looking REAL buff lately
For the tattoo story... it's so true, you have to watch your back with "friends and family favors" you will often get someone like this who will take advantage and use you as much as they can.. but the real ones understand you have a business (especially if you're starting out) and want to pay in full to support you... you will learn real fast who is there to support you and who is there to use you...
As a retail worker, thank you so much for saying that people/customers forget that we are humans too. Sooooooo many times I have been treated and spoken to like I was less than dirt by people just because I work retail. Just wanted to say thank you for acknowledging all of us retail workers out there. Love all you! Keep on making great content!
As someone who also works in retail it’s so annoying that people forget we are human beings. I don’t understand how people can be so unbelievably rude to other people simply because they can be
8:12 Thank you Tommy!! I've been saying it for years! Everyone needs to work customer service once in their lifetime to have empathy and be courteous. Being talked down to gives you a whole different perspective on how to treat people.
i'd weirdly love for a random episode to just feature Damien, cosplaying as Shayne, to read some Reddit stories as the people on the couch pretend he's Shayne and makes no comment on the fact it's just a costume.
Alright, was anybody else during the roommate from hell story thinking “…what happened to the stable roomie’s boyfriend 13 years later?!?” And had a sigh of relief when they were endgame and had a whole family? 😊
@@nicolekoiitruly! Kinda surprised they haven’t done this yet. Kinda like the TNTL “one person tries to make everyone laugh” thing. (I can’t remember the word for it lol)
"You're worth more than you think." I literally paused the video, went back a few seconds, and watched that part again. I needed to hear that today. Thanks Tommy + Smosh!
I was a barista for 6 years at 4 different coffee shops, I love the conversation after the first story. People are truly awful. Some real great regulars too, but some people need to be tested. Therapy needs to be free in the US because a lot of people need help.
Damn. It’s crazy how people treat service workers. I have never done so before but have often considered ordering something weird in the future. Haring this will certainly make me tip well for the barista’s extra work if I ever do.
that last story is insane im so happy for him, he made himself indispensable, then negotiated exactly what he wanted from the company, that's fucking awesome
Tim's story got me even happier than I already was. I'm currently learning to program and I know senior programmers are quite valuable so now I'm even more motivated to keep learning! :D
20:09 my whole wedding was basically family and friends helping out. They actually all volunteered to help sil-photos, nephew-played live music and did a little d.j.jng, it was held at the golf course my hubby works for so the venue/beer was gifted, the employees helped cook along with my hubby and bartend. Now that’s not to say they made no money cuz both our families and have/do work in food service/retail and tip extremely well. The main chef is an amazing baker and even gifted us a homemade cake. My bridesmaids all helped make our bouquets and decorations. It was all amazing and will always be one of the best days of my life. One of my most treasured items I own is my bouquet…fake flowers last forever! While the flowers on the tables were real all the bouquets were fake. We had a great time creating them, using them at my wedding and now we all have them in our own homes. I guess I was beyond lucky for this and getting the most beautiful nearly perfect fitting wedding dress off of wish.
Fake bouquets are a good idea because I don’t really like getting real flowers as gifts because I’m not good at taking care of them. But keeping flowers that last longer that look good is a better idea. I’ll keep this in mind when I have my own wedding someday.
Went through a busy Starbucks drive thru today, ordered an iced chai as I’m not a coffee drinker, got a cold brew instead, smiled, went home, and forced myself to drink the whole thing. I relate to Shayne so much with that story. 😅
Ugh I feel for you. Why didn't you just throw it out, rather than force yourself to drink it? As a fellow non-coffee drinker, I wouldn't have been able to do it. Coffee makes me nauseous, so it'd mess up my entire day.
I rely so heavily on this series to give me a little distraction and hearing the smosh cast read some of these heartbreaking stories and giving such balanced takes has really helped me get through some stuff and made me feel less alone. Love you guyese
34:10 hearing this whole messed up story and then Shayne reminding us it’s 2008 so “they were wearing short sleeve shirts over long sleeve shirts this whole time” is so funny to me
Amanda and Tommy legit act just like overeager theatre kids in a group who have just met and decided to be THE best friend duo of the group if that makes sense lol 😂 luv the energy❤
Me too! I’ve watched all of them multiple times over lol. I love the D&D series on smosh games rn too. I recommend it too if you haven’t watched any, it’s great to close your eyes and listen to!
I'm currently going through treatment for Uterine Cancer and dealing with a bunch of other chronic health/pain conditions and I'm right there with ya. Having DnD mid week and Reddit stories at the end of the week really helps. It gives me something to look forward to when there's not much else other than doctor's appointments. I don't know if Smosh knows how much people like me rely on them ❤
Whenever Shane goes all in on a silly little bit it makes me so happy 😂 nothin better than just full silly for like 5 seconds and then back in on the story
Can we all just take a minute to appreciate Shane's amazing shirt! Regardless if you like country music or not, Dolly Parton is a national treasure that must protected at all cost!
Shayne, you are right on the money about customers not seeing retail/frontline customer service workers as human. As someone who works as a cashier, it is absolutely astounding how much I get crazy requests and attitude from people for just existing. I think it’s also a projection thing where, if you can’t deal with what or who is making you unhappy, you direct those feelings at a safer target (me and other retail workers).
This is such perfect timing, I'm a Starbucks barista who put his two weeks in 3 hours ago. For the past two years me and my coworkers have been collecting pictures of the most insane orders and stories of the worst customers. Here's to hoping one day people will realize yelling at service workers is not a replacement for therapy.

it’s definitely just a natural censorship, you can see the wrinkles and folds in it occasionally
It’s not censored.
SAME
Tommy and Amanda bonding over Dunkin’ is something I didn’t know I needed in my life
the combination of tommy, amanda, and shane was so excellent! one of the best reddit stories episodes i've seen
AGREED!
really? I feel like amanda has the one OMG reaction, gives the initial "asshole or no asshole" to revenge stories, and feels so fake, just not actually interested. It's typical though, usually guests have no idea how to give reactions or just dont get or aren't interested in reddit stories, idk why they still force guests on this. I'd rather listen without looking at the video if it weren't for shane. He's actually always carrying the whole reddit stories show, to me at least
@@phoenixnnqI think you just don’t know how Amanda is lol
@@phoenixnnqthere are plenty of reddit videos with just one person reading them out. I think the more unique format is what makes the smosh ones so good. if I just wanted to hear the stories, I’d read them… on reddit.
@@lordfaygo6453 true, seeing this doesn’t make me want to haha
As a barista, I had a customer that
A.) was banned at multiple other locations
B.) screamed at me because trenta mochas don't exist
C.) called his daughter a "fat bitch" in our cafe in front of other customers (loudly)
D.) would moan over the speaker as a joke
E.) refuses to talk to us at the window, instead forcing his daughter to reach over him to give us HER money (even when it was HIS items)
F.) would yell at her to "get the fuck out of my face" when she was trying to hand us her money whilst shoving her
G.) I called CPS on because his daughter (possibly jokingly) told me he abuses her, but I really didn't think it was a joke.
He got banned soon after that last interaction, and I really don't know what happened to his daughter. I can only hope she's no longer staying with that Big-Ed lookalike.
That nightmare roommate HAD to have been a hoarder. There's no way she was simply doing it out of spite.
Especially with her keeping multiple bags of trash. Also wonder if she was really depressed or something
I’m just glad the parents with little ones kicked her out
I think there is a possibility that she was depressed cause I know that when I go back into a spiral my room gets baaaad. And it’s not that I’m ok with it, it’s. just I can’t bring myself to clean it
Part of me thinks that she was on drugs and it brought out the worst in her. Her behavior was unhinged
@@liketheangel The trash wasn't in bags when it was in her room.
tommy and amanda vibe is no doubt gonna be AMAZING for reddit stories cant wait to watch this
A shame Tommy is annoying
Womp womp
Amanda and the “I thought we were gonna kiss” made me cackle bcs I did too 😂

The conversation bit after the “wife thinks I take too long in the bathroom” story had me CRYING! 😭😭
Not gonna lie: I re-started watching smosh and smosh-related content thanks to Anthony coming back, I never expected to find the reddit stories show so amusing and fun and now I wait for it every week like a weekly bedtime story reading
welcome back. there's a verifiable treasure trove across the main 3 channels, this is one of the best series of course but there's a TON of good shit in these last 6 years even during quarantine these folks made some bangers, and even a couple of great characters like aunt carolyn were invented there. i'd also advise let's do this, during which one current cast member convinced EVERYONE in the office other than those directly in on it of something epic that was a lie, all for free donuts.
Same
I'm in the same page! It's been so good getting to know the other people of Smosh ( I only already knew Courtney and Shane from old sketched), and besides these reddit stories, i also really like their Smoshmouth podcast! Very amusing stuff in there.
I would actually be stoked to see an episode with Lisa and the company’s legal counsel
She's not actually HR tho😂
@@rutanarnar She is now HR, they announced that in a Funeral Roast a few months back
I LOVE Tommy and Amanda!!! I wish their stories were so much longer, 1 hour isn't enough 😂
For anyone that doesn't have many/any tatts and to answer Amanda's question. The story said it was a multi-day tattoo, which could mean that its a loooong process, and that, combined with the fact that the back is a soft, fleshy part (if the muscles aren't super defined) and the spine is one of the most painful places to be tattooed. When there's a constant pain, on a vulnerable part especially, you can't really tell where the pain is. Even smaller tattoos, depending on the artist, can feel like they are constantly drawing one line over and over. I can see how the woman in the story didn't notice.
Yeah dude, especially in a place where you obviously can’t look over to see what the artist is doing. I have a lot of tattoos and even while getting l some of my more visible ones done I’ll be like “okay this is probably the flower”, then I’ll look over and see that the artist isn’t even CLOSE to the flower lmfao
Yeah even my super simple rib tattoo was hard to feel the shape of. Because I just couldn’t see it. A multi day complicated back tattoo? Of course you can’t follow. That’s why we have to put so much trust in our artists. And the best way to be able to trust that they are doing their very best is to treat them with respect.
Omg my spine tattoo!! i was like omg i feel like you've been just pulling that same line/area for ever and he laughed and was like i literally just got to that part 🤣
Y’all should sneak in a fake Reddit story where a smosh member shares something that really happened about another smosh member (ex: Ian and Anthony)! But of course have them sitting there on camera unknowingly 😆
They’ve e already talked about this in SmoshCast. Shayne has said if anyone in the cast/crew can slip a fake Reddit story and get it read on camera and not get caught, Shayne will give that person a gift card.
Arasha's gotta type one!
@@baconlover7000there’s no other option that’s for sure!!
"Hey Reddit, I almost died from a Sno Cone"
That would actually be so funny.
That barista story had big "and then everyone clapped" vibes
Nothing ever happens
We need an episode of Shane reading OG classic Reddit stories
he should read the coconut story
@@ainawbu THE SWAMPS OF DAGOBAH.
Yes lol like the one with the son with the 2 broken arms
Or the guy who did an AMA about making tacos from his own amputated foot and trying it (consensually) with his friends.
"The Iranian yogurt is not the issue here"
When Shayne mentioned the poop knife i thought he was talking about that European explorer who got trapped under snow and ice and had to make a knife using his own poop to get out. So the fact i now know two poop knife stories is wild lmao.
I'm sorry, who made what to do what??? How?????
@@foxyjambread3826 there's a channel called "Simple History" and they told the story of an explorer trapped under ice and had to use his poop to escape. Like i said it's wild!
Ok that explorer is fantastically resourceful. I guess you have to be to be an explorer.
Is this real? 😭😭😭
@@B33-Animates Yep his name was Peter Freuchen, look him up hell of a story lmao.
I enjoy using these as background I listen to them like a podcast, and firstly I love this show and frequently re-run the episodes, I caught something new this time, a grown man who I 6’ 5” 160 and relatively active should absolutely be eating about 2500-3000 calories day, like that is totally normal lol
This is my version of Saturday morning cartoons. The dynamics between Shayne, Amanda, and Tommy are top notch.
I call it my versiom of Saturday Soaps 😂
"I remembered I had my adorable nephew with me, and figured he shouldn't see auntie's street side." This is a daily struggle for me lmao
So i have a petty story.
I used to work at a daycare that was associated with a church but in the loosest way possible. To skip a long story i got fired after putting a kid in time out for biteing me and trusting the other lady in the room to let her down while i was in the bathroom. It was the beginning of covid and I was a photographer trying to get off the ground. I had done the seasonal pictures for the room I worked in because the photo company couldn't send someone in. When i got fired i left alot of props in the room but they told me I wasn't allowed to be near the facility. So when my husband came home i sent him to get my stuff during the pick-up rush. Now this was also fresh off the capital riots where the pastor of the church was proudly posting tons of pictures of his own participation. So i told my husband who loudly asked the director of the daycare what actions were going to be taken as the pastor had been documented breaking the law. She apparently turned bright red and had to deal with a swarm of parents now very concerned about what was being taught to their children as my husband left with my stuff.
queen🎉❤
I’ve said it for years: Tommy is the funniest person at Smosh 🤣
“A cracker over a gopher hole.” 😂😂😂
I agree! Sometimes his expression alone is enough to make me laugh.
That's why he can't be maincast they need him writing for everyone and not hoarding his jokes for himself it's a cruel world
I've never heard anyone put it that way, but as someone who also takes a while to shit sometimes, you do indeed need to coax it out at times. 😂😂
I’m trying not to cry laughing at work rn so I don’t have to explain why I’m laughing to my coworker 😂😭
it's quite possibly the most florida thing he's ever said on camera. you tend to forget that he's literally from florida until an extremely southern analogy like that just comes out.
I can never understand how literally anyone can live in such disgusting conditions mentioned in the roommate story
That one screams mental health spiral
@@yallowapples fair but there could also be other reasons
@@trashotakuFair but they could be right
@@legendarien1075 yeah no, I’m agreeing with them but I’m also mentioning the possibility of other reasons as to why the roommate (Amy?) suddenly started trashing the apartment
Severe mental health problems. It’s sad that lady had no family or friends for support.
"This plane is going down" = Shane on a TSA watch list now🤣🤣🤣🤣
Story time: I worked at Starbucks for six years, and I once had a customer who got the most insane drink order and was like this woman. She wanted her espresso shaken over ice so it would be cold, but then you had to strain out the ice because she didn’t actually want ice in her drink. She just wanted the espresso cold. Then she wanted cold foam on top, but no vanilla in the cold foam, and topped with cinnamon. This woman could not fathom that her drink order was confusing, even for me, and I was going into my fifth year with the company. We also had a lot of new partners just learning how to make drinks and take orders, so plenty of them got the order wrong. I found out after the fact that she stopped coming in because a coworker made her drink wrong three times in a row one day, which may or may not have been on purpose.
I would have let managment know I quit by throwing her drink in her face.
Working at Starbucks is a different kind of costumer service. Shaken iced espresso lady’s are intense.
Idk how you made it 6 years. I made it 6 months but we were also a 24 hour drive thru store so I'm sure you can imagine. I would say that was easily one of the worst jobs I ever had. And for the record, I had a fair amount of Barista experience before starbucks, I loved being a Barista! Starbucks takes all the art and love out of the profession while never putting their foot down with the inappropriate behavior from their customers. We were so abused by our customers, some were very inappropriate with our underage girls but management would encourage them to keep flirting for tips (which management was "taking their share" of btw, pretty sure that's illegal or at least against policy i'd hope). Screw that place.
At that point she should buy her own expresso machine
@@Taygon45 unfortunately I was a supervisor, so I was like two steps down from a manager myself, and apart from her I did enjoy my job. What really upset me about her though was the attitude. She treated all of us like idiots for getting her order wrong, even if you weren’t the one taking the order or making it! I first encountered her in the drive thru window when I tried to hand out what was made, and she’s like, “no that’s not right.” Apparently we were the only Starbucks she went to that, “never seemed to make it right,” which I highly doubt. Also one of my coworker’s first language wasn’t English and was still learning how to take orders, so that added another level of confusion when her order was being taken. Did the customer try and go slower, or make it easier for that barista to understand? No. She treated her like an idiot, just like she treated the rest of us, but it certainly pissed me off more.
Amanda’s shocked laugh when the “poop knife” was being discussed…amazing!😂
She'd die if she ever heard about the "Time for Pie" podcast's Spoop, then. 😆
Girl was leaving plates on the floor like a sim in sims 4
Omg, smosh pairing up with the lawyer from Legal Eagle for a Reddit Stories would be insane, a collab I never thought I'd see coming, but one most welcome.
smosh and devin would be ICONIC on reddit stories!
right??? these crazy stories with actual professional legal insight would actually be so cool i NEED
Love the way they just start describing working class solidarity at the end. Workers of the world, UNITE!
I dont see one comment telling Shane how fresh he looking, thats wild
Tommy, your "you're worth more than you think" comment hit harder than I would've ever expected it to. Thank you for that
I was just about to say this too. I love Tommy

For the tattoo story... it's so true, you have to watch your back with "friends and family favors" you will often get someone like this who will take advantage and use you as much as they can.. but the real ones understand you have a business (especially if you're starting out) and want to pay in full to support you... you will learn real fast who is there to support you and who is there to use you...
Tommy’s “You’re worth more than you think. 😉❤” warmed my heart. Words to live by indeed.
Right? Like, I feel like I needed to hear this
As a retail worker, thank you so much for saying that people/customers forget that we are humans too.
Sooooooo many times I have been treated and spoken to like I was less than dirt by people just because I work retail.
Just wanted to say thank you for acknowledging all of us retail workers out there. Love all you! Keep on making great content!
I've literally had a dad lean over to his young kid and say "see this is why you pay attention in school so you don't end up like them."
As someone who also works in retail it’s so annoying that people forget we are human beings. I don’t understand how people can be so unbelievably rude to other people simply because they can be

would love a 3hr long video with the full cast
Perfection
That would be so chaotic
That's a lot of time and payroll for a video too long for most viewers to invest in
T-Bone pointing out that these revenge stories are steeped in self-worth gave me legit chills. I appreciated it.
Hell, I needed it today.
1:52 Tommy the respectful king
I know this video is gonna be sooo good I love Tommy and Amanda’s dynamic together
8:12 Thank you Tommy!! I've been saying it for years! Everyone needs to work customer service once in their lifetime to have empathy and be courteous. Being talked down to gives you a whole different perspective on how to treat people.
the woman that posted the nightmare roommate story is an absolute queen!! that was genius
Tommy and Amanda's energy is immediately incredible. I feel like I got invited to a sleepover
i'd weirdly love for a random episode to just feature Damien, cosplaying as Shayne, to read some Reddit stories as the people on the couch pretend he's Shayne and makes no comment on the fact it's just a costume.
fr need this
This would be great for like a Halloween episodes, scary stories with Shane but it's just Damian in a bad wig lmaoooo
Alright, was anybody else during the roommate from hell story thinking “…what happened to the stable roomie’s boyfriend 13 years later?!?” And had a sigh of relief when they were endgame and had a whole family? 😊
having tommy, amanda, damien, angela, arasha, courtney, and chanse on the show + the epic shayne is magical.
bring out the whole cast and some popcorn it would be so fun seeing everyone's reactions all together

I literally paused the video, went back a few seconds, and watched that part again. I needed to hear that today. Thanks Tommy + Smosh!
I was a barista for 6 years at 4 different coffee shops, I love the conversation after the first story. People are truly awful. Some real great regulars too, but some people need to be tested. Therapy needs to be free in the US because a lot of people need help.
Damn. It’s crazy how people treat service workers. I have never done so before but have often considered ordering something weird in the future. Haring this will certainly make me tip well for the barista’s extra work if I ever do.
PLEASE have these two back in another reddit video. I think they're my favorite rrs duo ever 😂
I fall asleep to random videos playing in the background and right now i love listening to these stories while falling asleep
that last story is insane im so happy for him, he made himself indispensable, then negotiated exactly what he wanted from the company, that's fucking awesome
Shane's fashion sense has really gone up a level this year
the chain babyyyyy
The facial hair 😍
The Dolly shirt!
the cuffed jeans!!!
He's trying to distract us from the fact he still can't do the splits...
And it's working 😏
Tim's story got me even happier than I already was. I'm currently learning to program and I know senior programmers are quite valuable so now I'm even more motivated to keep learning! :D
Tommy and Amanda bonding over loving Dunkin' Donuts gets me every time 😂

20:09 my whole wedding was basically family and friends helping out. They actually all volunteered to help sil-photos, nephew-played live music and did a little d.j.jng, it was held at the golf course my hubby works for so the venue/beer was gifted, the employees helped cook along with my hubby and bartend. Now that’s not to say they made no money cuz both our families and have/do work in food service/retail and tip extremely well. The main chef is an amazing baker and even gifted us a homemade cake. My bridesmaids all helped make our bouquets and decorations. It was all amazing and will always be one of the best days of my life. One of my most treasured items I own is my bouquet…fake flowers last forever! While the flowers on the tables were real all the bouquets were fake. We had a great time creating them, using them at my wedding and now we all have them in our own homes. I guess I was beyond lucky for this and getting the most beautiful nearly perfect fitting wedding dress off of wish.
Fake bouquets are a good idea because I don’t really like getting real flowers as gifts because I’m not good at taking care of them. But keeping flowers that last longer that look good is a better idea. I’ll keep this in mind when I have my own wedding someday.
Shayne is 100% dad energy during Reddit Stories, lol.
He reminds me of buddy’s elf dad from the movie elf when he would read stories to the kids
Went through a busy Starbucks drive thru today, ordered an iced chai as I’m not a coffee drinker, got a cold brew instead, smiled, went home, and forced myself to drink the whole thing. I relate to Shayne so much with that story. 😅
Ugh I feel for you. Why didn't you just throw it out, rather than force yourself to drink it? As a fellow non-coffee drinker, I wouldn't have been able to do it. Coffee makes me nauseous, so it'd mess up my entire day.
@@Zubiila I didn’t want to waste it after spending the money on it 😅 I definitely had to add a lot of milk to it to cut the bitterness
Millennials and GenZ: too scared to complain about getting the wrong order, will (rightfully) harass dictators online and organize massive protests.
i really like this format of reading reddit stories. i like that they read it and also weigh in their takes.
“Was it French vanilla extra extra like everyone else?” I had no idea it was like everyone else and I feel both seen and attacked 😂
I rely so heavily on this series to give me a little distraction and hearing the smosh cast read some of these heartbreaking stories and giving such balanced takes has really helped me get through some stuff and made me feel less alone. Love you guyese
34:10 hearing this whole messed up story and then Shayne reminding us it’s 2008 so “they were wearing short sleeve shirts over long sleeve shirts this whole time” is so funny to me
God Amanda's dead news reporter bit is so funny, it's funnier when you remember her first career job was at a news station.
Amanda and Tommy legit act just like overeager theatre kids in a group who have just met and decided to be THE best friend duo of the group if that makes sense lol 😂 luv the energy❤
Tim was so goated that he unionized with himself, went on strike by himself and got everything he wanted.
thank you father, mother and guncle for providing us entertainment for one hour straight
i can't be the only person who listens to these long form videos while dealing with medical problems. it helps more than i think smosh knows
Me too! I’ve watched all of them multiple times over lol. I love the D&D series on smosh games rn too. I recommend it too if you haven’t watched any, it’s great to close your eyes and listen to!
I'm currently going through treatment for Uterine Cancer and dealing with a bunch of other chronic health/pain conditions and I'm right there with ya. Having DnD mid week and Reddit stories at the end of the week really helps. It gives me something to look forward to when there's not much else other than doctor's appointments. I don't know if Smosh knows how much people like me rely on them ❤
Been having an on and off panic attack since yesterday night. These videos are making me happy and calming me down tbh. ❤ smosh so much
Same here. It's so nice to laugh at these stories and their reactions to them. Good luck with your situation!
Whenever Shane goes all in on a silly little bit it makes me so happy 😂 nothin better than just full silly for like 5 seconds and then back in on the story
Can we all just take a minute to appreciate Shane's amazing shirt! Regardless if you like country music or not, Dolly Parton is a national treasure that must protected at all cost!
Shayne, you are right on the money about customers not seeing retail/frontline customer service workers as human. As someone who works as a cashier, it is absolutely astounding how much I get crazy requests and attitude from people for just existing. I think it’s also a projection thing where, if you can’t deal with what or who is making you unhappy, you direct those feelings at a safer target (me and other retail workers).
56:48 i grew up in a very differnt household to shayne because i NEVER shut the door in my own house even when my mom and siblings are home 😅
This is the best two cast members you could’ve picked for revenge. When are you gonna have tommy on the pod?
This is such perfect timing, I'm a Starbucks barista who put his two weeks in 3 hours ago. For the past two years me and my coworkers have been collecting pictures of the most insane orders and stories of the worst customers. Here's to hoping one day people will realize yelling at service workers is not a replacement for therapy.
