This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I'm with the customer on this. The responder is singer sort of shill who probably is responsible for decisions at their company that nickle and dime customers with hidden fees.

Fuck those deceitful bloodsuckers.

"I might get fired if I give a paid item away for free" is a completely reasonable thing for a minimum wage worker to worry about.

I agree with the customer, of course, but let's not pretend that it's bootlicking when people have bills to pay

I didn't see anything where the customer was suggesting the server should bypass the rules. I was talking about the Anon responder who mocked the Anon customer for bitching about the policy.

I totally misread your comment, my apologies

[–] sxan@midwest.social 3 points 1 day ago

Thank you! No problem. I do that all the time.

I agree, but feel it should be clarified that having bills to pay is not a disqualifier for bootlicking. More a motivator for it, in many cases. "Just doing my job" and all.

I'd wager more people are worried about their loss of income than making the boss an extra 50 cents, though

Except the manager is going to notice the loss over the month and fire the worker for "stealing".

The worker is just trying to survive. The owner needs to be harassed.

Okay, Karen.

Tell me you've never worked a shitty "essential employee" job without telling me you've never had the kind of megalomaniac managers that these jobs attract.
