Imagine buying a car from the federal government, only for them to take it back from you with no repayment. That guy should get an attorney and sue or at least find some way to get tax deductions for that.
I agree. If you have to take the car fine, but he needs to get paid back. He bought it and now they just take it and he gets nothing??? Thats total BS. Get an attorney.
@Timothy Newitt 10:04 I don't know, English isn't my first language so maybe I misunderstood something there But I think that means that they took his car and he got nothing in return Even if he got it back (which is unclear to me), he still had no car for this whole time so there must have been expenses he wouldn't have had otherwise I guess
entitled Karen: sorry i just dont want any more kids now. what everyone else heard: sorry im an entitled bitch and i just fooled you and im now gonna stop reproducing of people like me, bye see you never!
I love the chocolate story, especially because it sounds like its totally planned by the parents. A great way to keep a kid behaving, while also letting them be mischievous in a harmless way.
"It sounds like some DEA guy is about to get fired." If only. Sadly, agencies like the DEA, and cops in general, have shit like this happen all the time with little more than slaps on the wrist.
@ No, *you're* wrong. The ones investigating the cops are usually their colleagues, and the prosecutors often work very closely with the departments so both groups bend over backwards to not follow through on any meaningful investigation or punishment. There's a reason why less than 1 in a hundred investigations lead to anything beyond a slap on the wrist, and no they aren't being punished for "doing their job". Honestly people like you are why this is such a prevalent issue in the United States.
That figurine story hurt my soul. I always keep the box and packaging in the box for all of mine. I'm a collector of that sort of thing, and I can't imagine damaging mine even by accident.
I'm an assistant manager in a small retail store. One of the first things I was ever taught was that managers are the first to make sacrifices. If you can't find a solution to a problem, you fix it yourself.
2 logical bosses who don’t say, “you figure it out”? Where can I submit an application?!?! Haha. You two are such blessings in the world. My office manager and I try to do the same thing for the other people in our office but our boss has “a brilliant idea” he wants us to make happen at least once a month. They are brilliant but 9/10 times impossible. 🤦🏻♀️
Too bad most managers don't do this. I've had many managers over the years who would do everything they could to not work in place of a sick employee, even to the point of threatening their job if they don't produce a note from a doctor. Like anyone is going to go to a doctor for the flu. The doctor is going to tell you to stay home and rest and drink enough fluids and such and to go to the emergency room if there are any serious complications. At one job I called in sick and the manager tried that crap with me. I told her I'm sick, I'm not coming in, and I'm not going to the doctor to get a note because I'm sick and told her if she wanted to fire me so be it and hung up. The next day she calls me asking why I didn't show up. Told her I thought she fired me, she basically beat around the bush and said she didn't and to come to work. I said I was still sick. When you're really sick, you're not going to get better in a day. I eventually quit that job after I had too much of her BS. I was basically tasked with doing all my work plus all the work the previous shift didn't do and wasn't being paid enough to do it.
@UCbPIWlYpvaZQ7nQ7XjjiSPA That one manager, I don't see how she remained a manager. A few years ago I was trying to look up information about that store for my records and found out they went out of business. Surprisingly not surprising. It was a circus. The people I work for now are amazing people to work for.
@@NotSoCrazyNinja these are the managers at my job, lazy entitled and never willing to actually manage anything, they just sit in the office all day. They expect us regular employees to not only do their job but ours too and god forbid you get sick or life happens. I literally overheard a manager saying "an employee calling out shouldn't affect my ability to do my job that day". Then they have the nerve to wonder why we cant keep employees for more than 2-3 months. I'm currently looking for new employment.
If this is an older story, it might have been The Body Shop as they used to do demonstrations like this. They haven't done so for awhile though, so it it's a newer story then it's most likely Lush.
4:37 no. When he said the kid “yeeted” the bath bomb, I just imagined him throwing it across to land in the sink. After all, yeet is used for distance. Kobe is used for precision and accuracy.
Something tells me the kid getting two chocolates because of the parents splitting up in line wasn't a secret,as the parents made it seem. Good job kid for being good
The figurine is definitely Swarovski (I used to work there, absolutely excellent place to work 🙂) and any loyal customer knows to keep the box. I still have some of my pieces in there boxes for safe storage.
I would sue them. Not just for the car but also for taking my money and putting people, namely my kids, at risk. Failing that I'd demand the DEA agents that sold it be charged for distribution of controlled substances.
Me: "I'll only watch this video and then do something else." Also me: *goes on a whole marathon of r/slash* "Well okay then." (Side note: Does this happen to anyone else? Because it constantly happens to me lol)
Gotta be honest, rslash isn’t the smartest. Sometimes he stops and wonders about things that are obvious to everyone else. Might also have to do with him recording 50 paragraphs of text every day
@@alecman95 Yeah, that's the thing with your job basically being to pluck stories off Reddit and read them for daily YT videos... You're gonna have a hard time keeping up with every little thing that other people do. I mean, it's hard enough with a "traditional" lifestyle, but this just makes it harder.
13:18 my Mam did a similar thing once (but I think it was more like 5 min before closing) but she actually bought medicine for my unwell little brother
"I don't miss retail." Pretty much what everyone says that gets out of it, you may miss your co-workers, you may miss the crazy crap you did, but you'll never miss retail itself. Had one time where I was working at a grocery in my college days, guy made me tough out an 11 hour shift without letting me go to the bathroom. Mom wonders what was going on when I was so late, and she blew up at my manager for doing that. Since that was well over a decade(nearing two) by now, its saddening to know retail hasn't changed since then.
10:20 I hope the poor guy was compensated and/or got the car back at a later date. I understand why they couldn't just remove that one package.. what if they had missed more. The person who cleared it already proved he wasn't thorough enough.
Not gonna lie, I was excited to see talesfromretail, mostly because that's the reddit I post to outside of aww. Was hoping to hear rslash read my story!
This really makes me appreciate my bosses and kind customers, in the retail store I work at as the closing manager, it's just a fancy title for the person in charge when the boss is gone and closes the store in the evening, but it's okay while I'm studying, and my colleagues and most customers make the job both fun and pleasant.
My own tale from retail: I had extreme food poisoning. I lived 45 minute drive from my store (I was an assistant manager). I knew that if I went in that morning, I could leave when the store manager arrived at noon, so I took meds and made the drive. Opened the store, left my favorite associate on the register so that I could spend the next 2 hours vomiting in the bathroom. Store manager arrives, and I tell her I’m heading home. The associate tells her I’ve been in the back all morning, vomiting. Store manager says “WELL, I’m going to have to tell the district manager about this! You’re leaving EARLY on a FRIDAY, and that’s just not acceptable!!!” Me: “do what you have to do, I’m going home to die!” I drive home and have to pull over on the freeway to vomit. Twice. Spent my whole weekend sick in bed. I hate retail.
I always ask for free food. But only where acceptable. Who doesn't love free food? However, if refused, I just go on about my day. But I am not the one the title is about as there are no stories about me on reddit. Nor were there any stories featured about free food in this video.
I used to work at a retail store and often worked in the fitting rooms. So for some background on me; I have cyclic vomiting syndrome. This means sometimes my body decides to just get sick and I’ll start vomiting. Knowing this, my managers made me bring in a doctors note confirming my condition and letting them know how it effects me. One night before my shift I’m sitting on my couch and it happens. Yup. Vomit. EVERYWHERE. (Real fun to clean up..) so I call in and let my manager know how I’m doing and was told that if I didn’t make it in for my shift, I would be given a strike and written up. I make my way into work and grab a stool and bucket in the fitting rooms and start powering through my shift. Eventually one of three managers comes up and asks “what the hell are you doing sitting down?” I explain the situation, and how it’s difficult to stand with my stomach muscles contracting like they do, and was told “regardless, it isn’t fair to other employees and you need to get up. Now.” So I begrudgingly put the stool back into its closet space and get back to my station. Eventually the nausea hits me again and I have to crouch down behind the counter and try to be as quiet as I can while violently up chucking. Customers glanced with understanding and pitiful looks, and as I’m scanning faces hoping I’m not perpetually embarrassing myself in front of people I may know, I see my manager standing there, red faced, SUPER angry. “What the hell are you doing?? Don’t you know you’re supposed to be working?” Once again I explain that I’m doing my best and that all the fitting rooms are still cleaned up and wiped down. Regardless, it wasn’t enough and I was told that if I didn’t stop throwing up, I’d be fired. That’s when I took my name tag off and said “welp. Have fun with the rest of this shift. I’m gonna get some well needed rest.” Her look immediately changed into one of surprise and all I heard as I was walking away was “wait..! You can’t do that..!” And I saw the other managers laughing on my way out. I love going back to shop there to say hi to people and see the look on that managers face when I smile and wave.
The DEA story reminded me of Breaking Bad episode where Hank calls some local office and asks them if they taped GPS device to the underside of Methylamine drum and he loses it when they confirm that they did
Imagine living in a country where a company being staffed is more important than a person's health lol Also Swarowsky ONLY has cheap things. But they're very good at pretending they're jewelry.

I have lifted up 7-year-olds, carrying them on my hip horizontally trying to keep their fists out of my face, after I've been given a black eye. I think this is a procedure that should be allowed. Just picking them up, just keeping them in a position where they can't hurt you and you won't hurt them. I didn't press charges after the black eye even though my boss asked me if I wanted to. Ofc no one is allowed to physically punish children, but luckily we can at least pick them up over here in my country

I LOVE that Karens exist everywhere. For a long time, I thought Karens only existed in the US (thanks 2 whoever created reddit), sad I know. Now, I know better. I just find it cool that we both listen to the same stories while in the car. Thanks 4 your comment
"His English isn't great... He understands everything, but never quite got the hang of putting it to words" sounds like my mom explaining why i stutter alot
I cannot believe that woman used a sick child excuse just so she can get stuff for a safe quickie. I truly hope karma catches up to her and make her pay "dearly". Lying about a child being sick is not Funny, it's cruel and manipulative. Especially since only a monster would turn down a person who wanted medicine for a "real sick child". No Moral of the Story this time Kiddies, you all know what we shouldn't do.
The one Flu Story SO reminded me of the video from a news channel I saw, where a manager at one of the SubWays FORCED a worker to "Tough it Up!" and work despite her illness, which included a photo of said worker outside and PUKING on the ground, but the manager NEVER cared! Not ONLY did this B NOT care about the health of one of the workers, who was SICK, but didn't even CARED about the health and safety of the customers, who PORBABLY had sandwiches that were CONTAMINATED from the worker when she was touching the ingrediants! I've heard that the manager was fired or something for her appalling treatment of one of her staff workers! If anybody knows more about this, because I've only seen the clip on UA-cam, let me know! Because I think karmic justice is due against the manager and more empathy is needed for people like the worker, and those who've been abused by their power hungry uppers in the job world!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR A CAR SERVICE DEPARTMENT STORY we get so many Karens I literally had me and my coworker panic attack a week at one point and finally I got switched to a different job in the dealership (I've been here two years and I was customer service for 7 months. 2 pay raises though from it so I guess it ended up working out)

It happens sometimes. He probably got the car back after they x-rayed and ran a dog on it again but yes it is embarrassing.

Opened the store, left my favorite associate on the register so that I could spend the next 2 hours vomiting in the bathroom. Store manager arrives, and I tell her I’m heading home. The associate tells her I’ve been in the back all morning, vomiting. Store manager says “WELL, I’m going to have to tell the district manager about this! You’re leaving EARLY on a FRIDAY, and that’s just not acceptable!!!” Me: “do what you have to do, I’m going home to die!” I drive home and have to pull over on the freeway to vomit. Twice. Spent my whole weekend sick in bed. I hate retail.
Dear god its happened, you've reached AD and promotion level.
Who's the one asking for free food?
Capn McKay I was wondering the same thing.
I always ask for free food. But only where acceptable. Who doesn't love free food? However, if refused, I just go on about my day.
But I am not the one the title is about as there are no stories about me on reddit. Nor were there any stories featured about free food in this video.
Ledger Balance they aren’t? WHAT?!?!
@@calebh6244 I always thought they were like a gourmet tide pod.
The kid with the kinder eggs I guess is technically getting a free kinder egg.
I'm so stupid and just notice how the background is moving
Holy crap, it is.
I thought it was a still pic.
Don't feel bad about it, many people focus on the text and probably haven't noticed either, since it's such a slight but delightful detail added in
IT dOES OMG
Never noticed, neat
he also plays music in the background ((:
The chocolate story made me smile. I hope that kid enjoyed his two chocolates
What i hated when working retail...
Me: Are you paying by cash or card today?
Them: Yes.
Facepalms
Customers would much rather wait a bit longer than be presented with a staff member throwing up everywhere and passing the virus on to them!
When it said the kid yeeted the bath bomb in the sink I immediately thought of Collins Key😅
I used to work at a retail store and often worked in the fitting rooms. So for some background on me; I have cyclic vomiting syndrome. This means sometimes my body decides to just get sick and I’ll start vomiting. Knowing this, my managers made me bring in a doctors note confirming my condition and letting them know how it effects me. One night before my shift I’m sitting on my couch and it happens. Yup. Vomit. EVERYWHERE. (Real fun to clean up..) so I call in and let my manager know how I’m doing and was told that if I didn’t make it in for my shift, I would be given a strike and written up. I make my way into work and grab a stool and bucket in the fitting rooms and start powering through my shift. Eventually one of three managers comes up and asks “what the hell are you doing sitting down?” I explain the situation, and how it’s difficult to stand with my stomach muscles contracting like they do, and was told “regardless, it isn’t fair to other employees and you need to get up. Now.” So I begrudgingly put the stool back into its closet space and get back to my station. Eventually the nausea hits me again and I have to crouch down behind the counter and try to be as quiet as I can while violently up chucking. Customers glanced with understanding and pitiful looks, and as I’m scanning faces hoping I’m not perpetually embarrassing myself in front of people I may know, I see my manager standing there, red faced, SUPER angry. “What the hell are you doing?? Don’t you know you’re supposed to be working?” Once again I explain that I’m doing my best and that all the fitting rooms are still cleaned up and wiped down. Regardless, it wasn’t enough and I was told that if I didn’t stop throwing up, I’d be fired. That’s when I took my name tag off and said “welp. Have fun with the rest of this shift. I’m gonna get some well needed rest.” Her look immediately changed into one of surprise and all I heard as I was walking away was “wait..! You can’t do that..!” And I saw the other managers laughing on my way out. I love going back to shop there to say hi to people and see the look on that managers face when I smile and wave.
I thought you said "This video is sponsored by veterans." Lol
The DEA story reminded me of Breaking Bad episode where Hank calls some local office and asks them if they taped GPS device to the underside of Methylamine drum and he loses it when they confirm that they did
I liked the wholesome kinder egg one. That was so cute
Ohy goodness. The kid with the double kinder eggs is adorable and is having the best day ever!
Imagine living in a country where a company being staffed is more important than a person's health lol
Also Swarowsky ONLY has cheap things. But they're very good at pretending they're jewelry.
Where did the jewelry story person ever mention they were working at Swarowsky?
@@LadyYamiofLight They never did, but based on the context it's very likely it was Swarovsky.
Kristine ah ok, I was just curious. thanks for answering. :)
Lol... that made me actually giggle
7:27 "...he has a Two Hundred white Ford..."
They wrote "200?" because it is an unspecified "Two Thousand And Something" or "early Two Thousands"
Love the vids.. keep it up Dabney
rSlash: "Some DEA agent is going to get to get FIRED"
Me: oh the poor naive boi
15:44 ok, so those parents are a match made in heaven, perfect for eachother AMAZING "you were really good today, pick out a chocolate" - both parents its so amazing that they both use the same parenting strategy and are completely on the same page :D
When the kid went *YEET* I thought of MJ at the end of Spacejam.
i was just watching one of your old videos and recently i remembered the ad at the end of the video one day. i was like "maybe i should try that sometime". now i have the link to look at it later.
Thanks rSlash.
I was waiting.. Watching.. Refreshing.. Hoping for the notification noise!

As always, love from the land down under! «3
I have lifted up 7-year-olds, carrying them on my hip horizontally trying to keep their fists out of my face, after I've been given a black eye. I think this is a procedure that should be allowed. Just picking them up, just keeping them in a position where they can't hurt you and you won't hurt them. I didn't press charges after the black eye even though my boss asked me if I wanted to. Ofc no one is allowed to physically punish children, but luckily we can at least pick them up over here in my country
4:35 i just thought of him hitting a 3-pointer
That kid getting the candy was s total come up. Future hustler!🤣
Listen to your videos while driving from work and to work, 30 min drive each way. Keep up the good work!
Me 2...I love listening to his voice while driving.
@@iluvdissheet yeah and some of the stuff is just great to hear, I work at a service station here in austaralia (we call them servos) so good to hear karma on the Karen's haha
@@strangeaussie4413 I've worked in retail but never really experienced a Karen so I love these stories. These stories are like graphic novels for me!
Also, I hope all is well there (with the wildfires).
@@iluvdissheet yeah its been really tough for places affected by the ravenous fires and such large areas burning. So many times I have seen people overseas wanting to help or talking about it is just amazing, Sean (JackSepticeye) Is holding a charity live stream also which I saw him announce in a recent video which blew my mind. It has just rained cats and dogs here where I am and we are all hoping for some rain where its needed.
Thank you for your concern also and your wishes of wellbeing for us, it mean alot!
@@strangeaussie4413 yea, sorry to go off topic but had 2 b honest. Saw the videos about Australia and just wanted to say it to someone who actually lives there, (instead of a random tweet) ya know? I'm in the US and my problems/issues now are so minor to yours. But, It so great to connect with someone on the opposite side of the planet about something non-political and so "regular". I LOVE that Karens exist everywhere. For a long time, I thought Karens only existed in the US (thanks 2 whoever created reddit), sad I know. Now, I know better. I just find it cool that we both listen to the same stories while in the car. Thanks 4 your comment
"His English isn't great... He understands everything, but never quite got the hang of putting it to words" sounds like my mom explaining why i stutter alot
What happens if a bath bomb store got flooded?
Lotsa fizz lol 😂
Ben Millar Rainbow water.
okay, that story about the kid with the Kinder eggs was absolutely adorable.
It's 3:33 am in Australia and I'm watching this
12:49 EC: "Personal accountability!? (scoffs) What a RIDICULOUS notion!"
I bet these people grew up without their parents teaching them money exists
probably
I cannot believe that woman used a sick child excuse just so she can get stuff for a safe quickie. I truly hope karma catches up to her and make her pay "dearly". Lying about a child being sick is not Funny, it's cruel and manipulative. Especially since only a monster would turn down a person who wanted medicine for a "real sick child". No Moral of the Story this time Kiddies, you all know what we shouldn't do.
Just waiting for the day when you go “Today’s video is sponsored by Raid Shadow Legends”
The poor man... He was happy he got a new car and got scammed for wasting his money.... Hopefully he gets his money back cause it'll be a bummer
That choice of thumbnail is simply amazing
That one where that kid got those 2 chocolates just warmed my heart that was so wholesome
The one Flu Story SO reminded me of the video from a news channel I saw, where a manager at one of the SubWays FORCED a worker to "Tough it Up!" and work despite her illness, which included a photo of said worker outside and PUKING on the ground, but the manager NEVER cared!
Not ONLY did this B NOT care about the health of one of the workers, who was SICK, but didn't even CARED about the health and safety of the customers, who PORBABLY had sandwiches that were CONTAMINATED from the worker when she was touching the ingrediants!
I've heard that the manager was fired or something for her appalling treatment of one of her staff workers! If anybody knows more about this, because I've only seen the clip on UA-cam, let me know! Because I think karmic justice is due against the manager and more empathy is needed for people like the worker, and those who've been abused by their power hungry uppers in the job world!
That's not okay. The place I worked at in my early twenties had managers that were notorious for this, and we had a union.
14:55 I'm confident the parents talked about the kid getting two chocolates because he behaved so well.
3:38 - I’ve never heard the word “yeet” before. It appears to mean “excitedly fling.” I learned something new today.
Yeet the bath bomb to make a bath explosion
That guy with the vehicle, that breaks my heart for him.
First stories Entitle kid with the blue bathbomb: COLBY!!!!
I think you’re looking for “Kobe” not “Colby” XD
Just missed it by "that much"
If I was one of those parents/kids that got splashed with the bath bomb water, I would have decked that "Grunt"....
💯
Wow two sponsors in a row! Good job rslash
The Chocolate part is very wholesome
i saw bombs, and heard work in a store that sells and im like, NOPE
fyi watched this vid in school, couldnt comment there, so i did it at my house
@Norman 04 fucking ar-15's
That kinder egg story is so adorable!
omg I'm slow I didn't realize the "large white brick" was a block of coke until they said it. wow.
GliturKat unless you didn’t know what it was , it’s alright , your not slow
I thought it was a bomb honestly till it was said otherwise
Kelekona I thought it was just like a brick, till they said white brick
Kelekona I did too! 😱
Jessica Sims same here
I wouldn't want to be defended by that lawyer... "Evidence of your innocence? Oh I threw that trash away."
Funny, I just watching another youtuber who was reading r/talesfromretail
Fresh?
Emkay?
@@desiterdane4286 Yeah
How dare you watch other reddit channels other than rslash
@@Zobbles06 emkay and rslash are brothers working together
The DEA agent won't get fired because that would admit wrong doing. The agent probably just got reassigned and the whole incident will get covered up.
Awwww, that Kinder Egg story was cute :)
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR A CAR SERVICE DEPARTMENT STORY
we get so many Karens
I literally had me and my coworker panic attack a week at one point and finally I got switched to a different job in the dealership (I've been here two years and I was customer service for 7 months. 2 pay raises though from it so I guess it ended up working out)
Where was the ‘free food’ bit?
“Man I’ve got some really bad news for you”-fucking understatement of the year🤣
