I'm convinced that in rSlash's Subway story, the new manager was trying to get rSlash fired, so that she could hire a family member, friend or partner.
Most scummy new managers try to get senior(worked longer) underlings fired because in their eyes these senior underlings aren't going to be pushovers. These types of managers want underlings that arent going to be up and arms when their livelihood is threatened
@@ArcTracertruepath then fortunately I wasn't a scummy supervisor. I was made a supervisor at a company. One of the guys on my crew had been my old crewlead at a former company. So, I made him my number two. I mean sure he was a friend of mine, but he was also the most experienced guy on my crew. My crew accepted it, they all went to him or me for help. Even the guys that had been at the company longer than my number two. My crew worked well together. Most became friends and would hang out after work, often inviting me to come along and grab a beer with them, which I did often. It made a difference in how my crew worked vs the other crews under the other supervisors. Guess treating my staff equally was wrong because we out preformed all the other crews, and management set me up for failure. They eventually forced me to step down and go back out to the floor. I did and they split my crew up to the other crews. You all can guess what happened. Yep my guys stopped busting their tails. They would often complain to me and management, they demanded that I be made a supervisor again, and several walked citing how they were mistreated under their new supervisors (it was true, the other supervisors treated their crews like cash cows, more productivity, bigger bonus it's why they didn't like me, I didn't care about my bonuses, I cared about my staff, often giving them time off whenever they requested it). Well, push crew beyond their limit they break. Treat your crew like human beings, and you will get results, often higher quality and ahead of schedule, under hours, and under budget. Odd, I came in under hours, got my bonus and would tell my crew "we did it guys. So, I'm using my bonus to buy you all drinks and dinner. If you can't make, let know and I'll be sure to buy the crew lunch again on Monday." My guys loved that, my bonus went back to the guys who earned it. The guys were happy, I was happy, bonuses got bigger, other crews barely met their goals and that is why I got screwed over.
What sucks is theres awful managers that rise in the company then you have good managers like these where their only flaw is theyre TOO trusting to not keep up on every worker. Then they get swallowed by these choices and the system. I even had a good manager who was SO good that the higher ups moved her to a different store to help them get better. But decided to put an absolute tool of a man as a replacement from corprate. All of her hard work went down the drain and most of the workers quit including me...
Could be your manager was stealing, and was trying to use the cookies to set you up. If she could convince your boss you stole the cookies, she could try stealing money and blaming you as well.
The worst kind of scummy bosses are those that don't work and short you. I worked in a tea room and the owner/boss worked his absolute ass off from before opening to well after closing 6-7 days a week. He was the chef, cleaned after closing, helped with morning deliveries and dealt with customer complaints all at once. I got short changed a few times because of how the hours worked and he did have massive double standards in regards to lunches and freebees but It was easy to forgive everything because of how he definitely earned every penny of the money he got.
Lol at Steve going on about how bad college people supposedly are, when he's worked as the manager of a coffee shop for 25 years. Got exactly what he deserved.
University students nowadays are very snobbish. They're the types to get offended at every little thing saying it's sexist, racist or fascist to do just about anything as a white male. What's also interesting is that they claim to represent the little guy and the working class despite growing up in middle class neighbourhoods earning £50K a year by using mummy or daddys money.
Workplace harassment should always be taken seriously. Record every bit of interaction you can, document everything, and bring it all up to the higher-ups. If someone acts as self-righteous, sexist and generationally condescending like Steven did, chances are that they're doing something shady behind the company's back, likely on their expense or that of the scapegoat employees that these scumbags decides to victimize.
i mean that's the beauty for the victim when a identity thief fully pays off something...it's legally "yours" under their Dime remember therr was a story about a ID thief that bought a Mercedes... believe they were drunk and got it sent to the police impound...now it was all registered under the victims name but when it came to booking...well what do you know... the stolen identity didn't match his prints... Op (victim) paid the impound fees and kept the car... 😂😂 the cops didn't exactly ask the right questions...instead he was notified that his car was found and why he never reported it stolen... he was later compensated for the impound fees , was put as debt for the ID thief
I’ve heard so many stories like your one at the end at Subway. The thing that protected you was credibility. Since you’ve been around for over a year the owners know your tendencies, mannerisms, and how you behave over all. The magnet was a new hire that’s been around for a couple weeks and the owners were still observing her to make sure she wasn’t sketch. You did something out of the ordinary and was not normal due to a new environment, new environment being a new manager being there and telling you what to do.
As a longtime computer programmer, I'm surprised OP actually deleted the corporate PR video rather than rename it something innocuous. It's second nature for a pro to do that when putting in a new version of something in case it has to be quickly reinstated. Still, she was a relative newbie to the field.
For the food thief, when OP started the looped video of Steven. I honestly wish she said, with enough volume so that the highers would hear. "Hey Steve, your on TV."
From the descriptions, it _sounds like_ it might just be the Fourth and Union store. Alleyway out back, two entrances (with one dedicated for employees), and advertising screens.
I used to work at a Seattle's Finest. I got bullied by a coworker for 8 months I finally got sick of it and reported her soon after her hours were reduced before leaving entirely. I acknowledge I'm lucky as many times the bully wins but I guess she was already on thin ice.
I also used to work at a "Seattle's Finest" lol. And I had something similar to the cookie story happen to me as well. There was this one shift lead (we called her crazy Amy cos she was nuts) who found a $20 in the tips and said that since we were the only ones in the store we should split it. Me, sus af, said to her that she was the MoD for the night and it was up to her if that was what she wanted to do (this was a fun job for me outside my office job so I didn't care about the money). Thankfully she put the money away. But she got put on suspension for something related to giving too many freebies to her friends and transferred to a different location - and then later I heard she got fired for stealing. Karma
We all know an employee like Steve who think they the boss and try order you and other peoples around and I glad he went to jail, and Eliza seem like a good person glad she didn't get in trouble
Your comment just made me think about my local Sonic... I worked there twice, leaving the first time because I didn't think I could handle the summer rush, and leaving the second time because the GM left. It was SUPER unclear if she was fired or if she quit... but she got in an argument with the owner, and 10 minutes later he came in and said she no longer worked there. I put in my 2 weeks notice the next day, because I KNEW things would go downhill without her. And I was right. I also left in the nick of time, as I stayed longer thanks to the pandemic but when I left I was barely keeping up with the summer rush and was seriously stressed out... but the assistant manager at the time was definitely not cut out for general manager, and the best shift manager, well... she wasn't prepared for that level of responsibility, and she definitely got screwed over by getting shoved into it. They definitely suffered for a while, but they seem to be recovering. From the sound of it, it's a completely new staff.
@@JanMaynz agreed alot these owner or boss think they know the inside and out of the company and it take one employee who know the in and out of the company and once that employee leave, the company fall apart
@@SoldierSpiderx What was especially bizarre about it was that they got along great before this, and I heard him praise her more than once, but that day... IDK what happened. But I immediately knew it was a mistake, and it worked out well for me, anyway.
@@JanMaynz yea maybe she want more money and he wasn't try pay her or he got cocky and knew he could do better without and fired her cause he was pay her way to much and want find someone cheap and hired someone in her post
OP in story 2: I can’t work mornings I have school Steve: in 20 years I’ve learned to be a team player Me: guessing that’s why he doesn’t have a college degree
It's like court. He pleaded guilty and got off lighter. My guess is that the manager was fired for having no proof of Rslash having malicious intent despite insisting he did.
I'm glad your boss believed you about the cookies. That's built trust and how it should have been handled. I can see a kid that couldn't express himself or got defensive being fired over it.
18:55 i don't think that was it at all, I think your manager thought it was okay but when questioned why 30 cookies were missing she lied and blamed you to save her job, trying to get you fired wasn't intentional, but could've happened to save their job
hey! I've been watching your videos daily for a really long time, so i just wanted to thank you for making them. theyre a part of my daily routine. I'd even go as far as to say that they've helped me keep going, I've some mental health issues. anyways, i really appreciate you making these vids, so thank you!
I worked for a Fast Food chain as one of the Cooks. We hired a new girl as a waitress, she was 17 I believe, but she was terrible at her job. She tired to avoid cleaning, taking orders, serving food, etc.... Basically tried to avoid doing her job tasks and she stole tips. She was finally fired a few weeks later when one of the managers caught her in the walk-in Cooler eating our cheesecakes! She'd been doing this the whole time she worked there, she would sneak off to the cooler and eat the cheesecakes, while hiding the serving plates they were on, and if she heard someone coming she would throw the cheesecake she hadn't finished eating under the shelves in the cooler. Searching the Cooler and Freezer sections, we found several serving plates and containers. She had worked at this store for almost a month, and had stolen Hundreds of Dollars worth of Cheesecake!
I watch every video while drawing over and over again (his voice is just really good, sue me) and I'm more than sure that this one wasn't repeated. Maybe the repeated one was his personal story? He could have told us that one some years ago.
The last story reminded me of a time where this girl tried to get me fired. Basically, I had just started at my current job(this was a year and a half ago) and so had all of my coworkers so we hadn't really trusted each other and cash was all over the place so we went on cash control(basically instead of counting the drawers just at night, we counted the drawers whenever there were shift changes and no one could use anybody else's drawers). One day I dropped a 50 when I had tried to put it in the drop box and my supervisor in charge accused me of being the one stealing but no one believed her cause I worked at our neighbor stores as well and they never had problems with cash. Turns out she was the one stealing the money and was quickly fired. Not the first time I've been accused of something similar. I'm very nice to everyone I meet and people see me as someone they can easily throw under the bus but once you piss me off, all bets are off.
Rslash, your cookie story reminded me of working at one of my jobs I had, the bosses drilled into your head “don’t take anything off the lines…EVER…when you’re working on making orders!!!”. So, me, being the good worker bee I am, never touched anything or took food from the lines. My bosses however? They thought the rules didn’t apply to them. Even went as far as literally saying to me “oh, come onnn…don’t you want just *one* fry? Nobody will ever knooow…”. Urgh, people like that drive me to drink….
I worked with a guy once who tried to get me fired for stealing money from the register. Backfired though since our manager thought it was real strange that money didn't start going missing until after the dude was hired. Funny how the the theft stopped as soon as he was fired. Hmmm I wonder why 🤣
The last story reminds me of an old coworker o had at dominos She would always have absurdly high credit card tips compared to the rest of the drivers during the day shift Well the district manager thought that was odd so they tracked her tips for several months and sure enough she was writing in tips on every delivery and was fired for it
I love the OP is so smart with computers that she was able to override the company infomercials. Not easy on may systems. What a complete burn on Steve, Elzia was lucky enough to have OP help here .
--- Chances are though that this lady might have been "electronically tagged" with an ankle bracelet or some other device alongside put under heavier surveillance for the duration of her "bail / probation / home-jail"-time. So she could live with and take her children alongside have a job. But otherwise she couldn't anything else without prior convos for appointments and such. ---
Imagine being a crook and being able to avoid going to jail because you have children. . How entitled do you have to feel at that moment like "I avoided jail because I have a kid that means I can do whatever I want!" R Justice system is a joke.
I don’t think I could have worked with a guy like Steve when I had scalding hot liquids within arms reach at every second. He would have gotten a molten Americano to the face and/or crotch by the end of the month. I’m not as patient as the OP
I wouldn't be as patient. At some point, the stuff would hit the fan. Just because Steven didn't go to college doesn't mean the rest of his workers need to suffer.
Years ago, my husband worked at a local gas station that had a Subway. One day, as I dropped him off at work, we saw a car in the back by Subway’s coolers. Two people were putting stuff in their car. Later that day, I ran by the gas station for something - gas, cigarettes, etc - only to find just about every local police officer as well as a bunch of county sheriff department, sitting up at Subway interviewing employees and watching security footage. I guess one of the people we saw earlier was the manager of Subway and she decided to steal a whole lot of Subway’s inventory to feed herself and her family, and to sell some of it to friends. I still can’t figure out how she thought that would work.
My job is very strict about when we can leave, like people get reprimanded for leaving even a minute early. My new coworker (who thought she was my boss but was really on equal footing with me) kept trying to get me to leave early. “It’s okay. I’ll handle it.” And I kept refusing. She’d go “But it’s okay, I’m in charge.” And I’d point out that, no, she wasn’t. Eventually I had to make a complaint against her because she was getting aggressive and she spun some lie to management about how I had class and kept complaining that I needed to leave early. Then my boss pointed out that I’d already graduated and she had nothing more to say. She got fired a few months later. Got really creepy, kept trying to get me to go over to her house. I kinda think she was a really inept serial killer.
This story is a little like the last story. In the 1981 I moved to Nevada from Washington state. I went to work in a gold mine. Once in awhile I had to work nights. The company had 2 rented phone lines that were in constant use during the day, but nobody used them at night. When I would take my breaks I used these rented lines to call my friends back in Washington. I did this quite frequently. One day we had a maintenance meeting. (I was a Mechanic) It was brought up that even though the company had rented the phone lines, they still had to pay per minute for long distance calls, just at a much lower rate. I told the #2 in maintenance, "I am sorry Tom, I thought that those lines did not cost anything to use. I have been calling my buddies in Washington at night." He answered, "Yea, we know that you have. I wish that you would quit." I answered, "sure Tom. No problem." And that was that. Not another work was mentioned. For the first 4 years it was a great place to work. Then they hired a new head of HR. That was the end for many, me included. The guy was a total ass-hat!!!
Wonderful example of the gender sentencing gap there at the end. Both complicit in theft and sale of stolen goods, one gets a suspended sentence, the other prison.
Man, your own story sounds weird as hell… like how on earth did she expect that to play out? “oh yeah Rslash stole all the cookies yesterday.” “… did you try to stop him?” “Well no…” “Did you record it?” “Well no…” “Did you try to contact me (the boss) or the police?” “Well no…” “Then wtf?”
When I was a manager at a hardware store, I ended up having to call police and make government reports against another manager. I just managed a department, but he was second assistant of the whole store. He also was some kind of twisted and he was the most hated manager in the store. So we had a "boneyard" which is what we called the yard behind the store where all the wood, metal, etc was. Customers could drive back there to load up but they needed to go through a gate. We had a security person there who would check to see if you had purchased the items you were going to get. It was like two shacks with a roof over them and the gates. Well, as animals do, pigeons started perching on the roof of these gates. It wasn't a crazy amount, maybe 3 or so. They weren't making nests and they weren't there all the time, but it was enough for my second in command manager to lose his shit. He hated animals and said they were gross and these birds were making the store look bad. So, did he call the city to get some spikes set up? Did he call animal control? Nope. He brought a fucking gun, his own gun, to work and shot them. In plain sight, during working hours. This was the middle of the day with people in the store and he was walking around with a loaded firearm. My fiance was in one of the shacks and took a video which we then sent to law enforcement I'm not sure exactly what happened because I quit less than a month after, but I do know that he got served a legal letter at work. And he had to go to court But to my knowledge he still works there so you know, law enforcement sucks but at least I embarrassed and inconvenienced him
As a former LEO it's not up to the cops, it's up to the city attorney, or the district attorney. Add in state Statutes vs city ordinances. If state Statutes allowed for weapons, but he was shooting in city limits, at best the cops could cite him for a misdemeanor charge of discharging a firearm in city limits, and possibly push for a charge of reckless endangerment as well as a reckless discharge, charge. The city attorney or the DA are the ones that can drop the charges. Guessing he was friends with someone in the city attorneys office, which is why he more than likely wasn't charged. As for being cuffed, well again that depends on the law. Cops can't just make an arrest, especially in open carry states. Only way they could have is if the property had a sign that stated "no weapons" or how it works in my state. They couldn't charge him for more than a misdemeanor offense. Add in that rather you like it or not, pigeons are nuisance animals so you can eliminate them. Not saying it's right, but the cops hands are tied. They only enforce the laws, they can only enforce what is written. Trust me, I've wanted to arrest idiots for shooting pellet guns in town at pigeons, but I could only cite them for "expelling a pellet outside of property" that's it. All I could do is write a ticket. Now if they fired a .22, well I could arrest them for discharge of a weapon in city limits. But again they would get maybe 10 days in jail and probation as well as a fine. It was a misdemeanor, not a felony. Only became a felony if someone was injured. Then I could slap all kinds of charges on them. Reckless endangerment, reckless discharge, reckless discharge with bodily injury, ect. Until then though, misdemeanor charge, and they got a slap on the pee pee. So it's not the cops, it's the court, city council, county commissioners, state legislature.... Yeah if you've never worn the badge, or you don't know anyone who has, then by all means, cry and complain that they "didn't do anything" but, having wore the badge, I know that their hands are tied. Unless there is a risk to serious bodily injury or risk to property more than a few tiny holes, nothing can be done, and if he's using a .22 with bird shot rounds, well then it's even less the cops can do. Those are pest control rounds. Snake shot, bird shot, pretty much only dangerous to birds and snakes and only dangerous to humans at extremely close range. Again, not the cops fault. Don't like the law change it or move. The cops can't arrest because you don't like something. They can't arrest because you are offended. They can only arrest if he was a danger. If he was shooting an AR-15, AK-47, 9mm carbine, or really anything bigger than a .22 with bird shot, then yeah, dude is going to prison. Hell, if he had a 12 gage loaded with Bird shot, prison time, but a more than likely he only had a .22 caliber. Not saying it's smart, I'd never do it in a populated area, it's not safe and violates the rules of gun safety. But you can't arrest somebody for being stupid. Trust me if I could have, I would have overcrowded county in a day with the idiots I dealt with.
Stealing Stock? Oh YES ! Hit on my partner and deliberately mess up our hours? I'll get you fired...AND arrested. Back around the year 2000 both my partner and myself worked for the same supermarket chain. Originally I was asked to take the position of assistant manager...which I did for a while, however due to health problems I wanted to step down...so I suggested ( most subtly...lol ) that I knew someone who would be IDEAL for the position. So my other half got the job ;-) Then a new manager arrived, his name was 'Richard'...literally. And that's when the 'fun' began. Now this is a guy who had been with the company for around 8 years or so ( I think ). First of all he didn't like me...but...he wasn't going to do anything 'overt' towards me, although we were both around the same height he was 'soft', not very fit, and relied on his position as manager to boss people about. Well...that doesn't cut any ice with me. He also fancied my partner, even though she made it more than clear she wasn't interested, and besides which...he was married with two young kids. He also did a shit load of stuff to her that really pissed me off....for example: The store was open from 7.00 AM to 11.00 PM, so we worked shifts...fair enough. BUT...he would (and all to frequently) when he was due to work the late shift, suddenly announce that he had had a phone call and that he was 'needed' at home, and whoever was on duty at the time would have to work to 11.00 PM...then he would quickly waltz out the door. One day he tried that on my partner...again. So she phoned me straight away and told me what he said...I replied 'Oh no your not! We're going out tonight'!...so I got washed, had a shave...and got dressed...black suit, black shirt, black tie, black gloves, black socks and shoes...and 'Terminator' style sunglasses, and a double breasted black full length trench-coat over my shoulders like a fookin' cape. I walked in...he took one look at me and ( I've no doubt ) the expression on my face...then ran out the door to his office in the back...and stayed there until we left...bang on 5.00 PM. Some months I was still working there...and sometimes my partners shifts and mine would coincide. But...he still got 'me' to do the stock count of the bond room ( where all the booze and tobacco where kept ). But the strange thing was every time I did the stock take ( most of the time ) it usually came up short on a few items...ALWAYS the high price items. Expensive items, Cigars, high price Brandy etc. When I ( like the good employee I was ) brought this to his attention, I was always told that I had obviously 'miscounted'...and he would double check it and 'correct' my 'mistakes'. Strange thing though...those 'mistakes' would be carried over to the next stock take. Sometimes though the stock sheets would have been altered to show the ( ahem ) 'correct' stock count....what he didn't know was that since I had designed the stock sheets I had the master on my PC at home...I also had a spreadsheet I'd designed...since the previous manager had asked me If I knew how to to do that...but then he'd got promoted to a bigger store. So I started to keep a duplicate of the stock sheets, then transfer the data to the spreadsheet. That's when I realised just how much stock was going missing. So one dark night after the manager had left for home, I made a phone call to H/O...and asked for the security Dept. I told them what I 'thought' was going on...but named no names...even when pushed to do so...telling them 'Look...I'm just giving you the information...and since I have no proof I'm naming no names...you draw your own conclusions'. The next time I'm on late 6 guys walked in and immediately spread themselves around the shop...then one of them tried to walk behind the counter. He was told in no uncertain terms to back away...or else. He grinned at me...slipped his hand into a pocket and pulled out his I.D. Yup...security had arrived. They told me that a team would arriving shortly to install a second ( and unknown to anyone else ) CCTV system to specifically cover the bond room...both inside and out. The current system did cover the bond room, but not very well. I asked how did they know it wasn't me taking stuff...and trying to put the blame on somebody else. 'OP...we've checked you out...we KNOW your clean.' The inference of that is that the manager wasn't So the new system was installed...that was a Saturday night...the following Saturday I was due to finish at 5.00 PM...at around 4.00 PM a bunch of guys walked in and spread themselves around the store...they looked somewhat familiar ;-) Just before 5.00 PM the manager walked in...and was almost instantly surrounded...and marched out to the office, a female ( in store uniform ) stepped forward and said she'd take the counter...I looked at her. 'Not until I see some I.D'! She grinned and laughed...then showed me her Security I.D. We walked out to the office where the manager was 'informed' that there had been unacceptable stock losses...and that it was suspected a member of staff was responsible...obviously he straight away tried putting the blame on me. Then...THEN he was told to sit down...while they checked out the CCTV footage. When they brought that up it was obvious he'd found a blind spot in the cameras coverage...He sat there and smiled. Right up until the head security guy said. 'Now we'll check the other systems recordings'...he turned white. They played back the relevant sections...and there he was stuffing things into a carrier bag, he'd then open the back door and drop the stuff in the dumpster and cover it with cardboard, go back in and lock up. After closing he would go round the back and recover his loot...ignoring the fact of the other CCTV cameras both inside and outside. Got him and bang to rights! I later found out he was prosecuted...not sure what sentence he got though...but I did hear he got hit with a criminal record, and with a big fine as well, his marriage collapsed, he lost his home as well. Don't mess around with my hours...don't try to hit on my partner...and sure as hell DON'T try to have ME arrested for what YOU DID !
There is always some bastard trying to get you fired. Thank god good companies have policies against these things. I remember working for little Caesar’s for a time. It started out nice. 30 hours. I was still in high school. But then this new manager came in. Brought me down to 20 and eventually 8 hours a week. I didn’t see the point in working and quit.
@@horseluver4ever623 My brother is named Steven, and I use Steve and Steven interchangeably all the time when referring to him, just like people use "Rob" and "Robert" when referring to me. It's pretty common.
that was real nice of the company to send $200 to op for the video of steve. She just did it because it was the right thing to do, expose the asshole and his scheme, and she got $200 of coffee out of it, sounds good to me.
Me, struggling emotionally: “I’ll just watch an Rslash vid to calm down enough to go to sleep” UA-cam, playing a horror movie ad at 3:30am: “WouLd YoU LikE tO pLAy a GaMe??”
I worked at subway as well and the cookie thing is actually true. Your manager was trying to stretch his inventory as far as possible. The whole eat fresh thing went into full swing when i worked there and by policy it was 'recommended' to make fresh cookies everyday. But if they came by to check your franchise and the cookies were stale it was on you. Your manager was taking a chance and the older girl was actuslly following policy. At least by 08-12 standards
I make sure the features in our store are updated, I make sure the backroom is binned, I am the only one with a full list of equipment for the store, I manage the equipment lockers, I am the top associate for my department, and I do as much as team leads, and I manage a bunch of store and department projects, I'm the only one that knows how to do certain things, I'm as close to indispensable as you can be, but everyone can be replaced.
I worked for a public housing authority After working there a while I accidentally stumbled across the side hustle from some of the employees there Turns out the repair crew and some of the property managers had been taking property from the residents and selling it online and they’ve seizing drugs from the tenants and only giving the bare minimum to the police the rest was cut and sold back to the tenants at a markup They even had a meth operation on site I was given the ultimatum to join the hustle I refused and they tried to kill me I disappeared for my safety they eventually got caught
Busting a crooked manager...on the big screen? Oh how delicious. Precise and elegant. Substituting the usual video with another evidence video?? Genius.
Your subway story sounds close to what happened to my wife at one of her jobs at one time. She's working at this coffee shop for about a year. The new employee came in and started acting like she was a real big shot. After a couple of weeks, she started trying to pull my wife aside to talk to her about a job opportunity. Apparently, her husband I was looking for a new secretary and she thought that my wife would make a a really good secretary. She was talking about the better bill pays and all that stuff. Luckily, me and my wife talked it over the first time. Didn't take us long to put together that she was just trying to get my wife out of the store so she could be the new big employee, because my wife was quite the hard worker there. After a little bit of digging, we figured out that the husband was actually moving businesses, so the whole entire secretary job would only last a couple of days and then she would be out of a job. And knowing that new girl she would do everything to make sure that Candice won't get rehired. Just makes you wonder what some people think when they're trying to get one up on things like that. The coffee shop wasn't even like Starbucks or anything, it was like a mom and pop shop.
Going off your subway story, i wasn't so lucky lmao. I worked at a bookstore coffee shop and the manager who was training me said we were allowed to take small cups of the drinks if there was any left over in the blenders after making customer drinks. After doing this for 2 days (it was those little plastic dixie cups and they were usually only like, a quarter full if that after making drinks) I was pulled into the office and accused of stealing product with that same manager and the Head GM there. I was like "no, I was told I could have it if there was a little left???" and the training manager denied ever saying anything of the sort and I got fired. I literally have no idea why that manager did that unless she herself didn't actually know and just scapegoated me. It really sucked cuz I liked that job =/
Not only was he just doing the company wrong but the other employees too they have bills to pay also manager privileges when he is the supervisor prison is going to do its thing because he will not last a day in there
There is a chance that I have been to the store “Seattle’s Finest” is based off of. I love the laziness in OP’s name change of the company cuz irl it’s called Seattle’s Best
The second story is like my first job . I worked at a papa ginos and my general manager was a complete mess . First of all let me state that this is a terrible company (they allow people who’ve worked there along time to stay by transferring them into another store when they get in trouble I once had a manager grab a minors ass for weeks before they did anything and they only moved him to a store less then 10 mins away )my general manager was worse Hed show up drunk to most of our shifts and yell at people for takeing 3 min smoke breaks when there was no business and then proceeded to take 30 min smoke breaks . Under schedule days he wasn’t working and over schedule days he was . We the turn over rate was terrible I was going from 40 hour weeks to 16 the next and they were scheduled terribly. There were a lot of times they would schedule me 5.5 hour shifts instead of 6 so I’d work the same time and not get a break .There’s a terrible story there for every day I worked from him getting in a fist fight with a customer to giveing to makeing me buy him gold bond from a cvs 3 miles away in a blizzard Bc his balls were chaffing. So after a week of closeing shifts and then opening the following morning all while understaffed .so when taxes came around I did some snooping in his office when he left to print some papers he was using his brothers social security number to avoid paying child support. He had 3 children all older then me 19 22 and 24 I knew one of them from my older cousins friend group.we got in touch with his other brothers and within 6 months all of them were able to pay off their student loans and I made 2x what I made that year in whistle blower rewards . He lived super frugality with an exemption of the alcoholism he had the money to pay the child support but didn’t out of spite I wonder what there lives could have been like if they had the support when they actually needed it
"I Sent My Scummy Boss to Jail By Stopping His Theft Ring and The Equally Scummy Store He Stole From Gives Me $200 In Their Own Merchandise After I Saved Them Thousands In Shrinkage."
The wife getting off easy due to her children boils my blood. She should of gotten the full time. If she loved her children, then she shouldn't of committed the crime.
What I don’t understand is this, if you are going to steal do it smartly. If you are nice and a good boss to everyone then no ones going to go out of their way to catch you stealing and if they are it’s more likely they will ignore or come talk to you about it so all you need to do is get a cover story.
Ok, so my story isn't near as dramatic as the Starbucks story, but I've been given some leftover pizza from our local cafeteria at the aquatics center a few times. Since they need to sell their pizza fresh, they either take it home or send it my way since I enjoy Papa John's. (Domino's is preferable to me though) Now, whenever we get leftovers, I make sure to share it with everyone every time. Usually they turn it down, but I like making sure. Mostly cause I'm polite but also I wouldn't want me reporting me making off with products with greedy intent. Nothing ever came from it aside from a minor confusion when I asked those who offered me snacks to treat my employees the same kindness. Didn't mean to look like I was pestering them. **Shrugs** But I even buy a couple slices and even some pretzels from them so as to not completely be a freeloader. It certainly isn't the only reason I work there either, but one of those reasons is unfortunately not going to be there much longer because he's advancing to a new job. I really will miss my boss but I'll keep in mind that this will mean new opportunities for everyone including for him. Let's hope my new boss doesn't do anything that warrants r/prorevenge.
I'm convinced that in rSlash's Subway story, the new manager was trying to get rSlash fired, so that she could hire a family member, friend or partner.
Most scummy new managers try to get senior(worked longer) underlings fired because in their eyes these senior underlings aren't going to be pushovers. These types of managers want underlings that arent going to be up and arms when their livelihood is threatened
I mean you're not wrong, that happened with my brother in Ohio too.
If that were the case in rSlash's story, then *that one* backfired on the manager big time.
@@ArcTracertruepath then fortunately I wasn't a scummy supervisor. I was made a supervisor at a company. One of the guys on my crew had been my old crewlead at a former company. So, I made him my number two. I mean sure he was a friend of mine, but he was also the most experienced guy on my crew. My crew accepted it, they all went to him or me for help. Even the guys that had been at the company longer than my number two. My crew worked well together. Most became friends and would hang out after work, often inviting me to come along and grab a beer with them, which I did often. It made a difference in how my crew worked vs the other crews under the other supervisors. Guess treating my staff equally was wrong because we out preformed all the other crews, and management set me up for failure. They eventually forced me to step down and go back out to the floor. I did and they split my crew up to the other crews. You all can guess what happened. Yep my guys stopped busting their tails. They would often complain to me and management, they demanded that I be made a supervisor again, and several walked citing how they were mistreated under their new supervisors (it was true, the other supervisors treated their crews like cash cows, more productivity, bigger bonus it's why they didn't like me, I didn't care about my bonuses, I cared about my staff, often giving them time off whenever they requested it). Well, push crew beyond their limit they break. Treat your crew like human beings, and you will get results, often higher quality and ahead of schedule, under hours, and under budget. Odd, I came in under hours, got my bonus and would tell my crew "we did it guys. So, I'm using my bonus to buy you all drinks and dinner. If you can't make, let know and I'll be sure to buy the crew lunch again on Monday." My guys loved that, my bonus went back to the guys who earned it. The guys were happy, I was happy, bonuses got bigger, other crews barely met their goals and that is why I got screwed over.
What if the manager stole more stuff and was trying to pin it on rslash since "he's the cookie thief, he must've stolen the other stuff too!"
I'm happy Eliza wasn't dragged down with Steven. She seemed nice.
I'd say naive.
You will never anyone as trusting or as kind!
@@jellofish2590 love the reference
@@RetroArcadeGuy 00
What sucks is theres awful managers that rise in the company then you have good managers like these where their only flaw is theyre TOO trusting to not keep up on every worker. Then they get swallowed by these choices and the system. I even had a good manager who was SO good that the higher ups moved her to a different store to help them get better. But decided to put an absolute tool of a man as a replacement from corprate. All of her hard work went down the drain and most of the workers quit including me...
Could be your manager was stealing, and was trying to use the cookies to set you up. If she could convince your boss you stole the cookies, she could try stealing money and blaming you as well.
The worst kind of scummy bosses are those that don't work and short you. I worked in a tea room and the owner/boss worked his absolute ass off from before opening to well after closing 6-7 days a week. He was the chef, cleaned after closing, helped with morning deliveries and dealt with customer complaints all at once. I got short changed a few times because of how the hours worked and he did have massive double standards in regards to lunches and freebees but It was easy to forgive everything because of how he definitely earned every penny of the money he got.

Lol at Steve going on about how bad college people supposedly are, when he's worked as the manager of a coffee shop for 25 years. Got exactly what he deserved.
He wasn't even the manager, just the lead shift supervisor lol
University students nowadays are very snobbish. They're the types to get offended at every little thing saying it's sexist, racist or fascist to do just about anything as a white male. What's also interesting is that they claim to represent the little guy and the working class despite growing up in middle class neighbourhoods earning £50K a year by using mummy or daddys money.
@@eopujvrswg are you Steve?
@@Ba5edAF 💀
Assistant to the manager.
Workplace harassment should always be taken seriously. Record every bit of interaction you can, document everything, and bring it all up to the higher-ups. If someone acts as self-righteous, sexist and generationally condescending like Steven did, chances are that they're doing something shady behind the company's back, likely on their expense or that of the scapegoat employees that these scumbags decides to victimize.
Selling the cars his brother bought under his ID was delicious.
Sweet, sweet delicious revenge!
i mean that's the beauty for the victim when a identity thief fully pays off something...it's legally "yours" under their Dime
remember therr was a story about a ID thief that bought a Mercedes... believe they were drunk and got it sent to the police impound...now it was all registered under the victims name but when it came to booking...well what do you know... the stolen identity didn't match his prints... Op (victim) paid the impound fees and kept the car... 😂😂 the cops didn't exactly ask the right questions...instead he was notified that his car was found and why he never reported it stolen... he was later compensated for the impound fees , was put as debt for the ID thief

Second story is an oldie but a goodie. Happy to hear your take on it!
Oldie for sure
He's done it before
I’ve heard so many stories like your one at the end at Subway. The thing that protected you was credibility. Since you’ve been around for over a year the owners know your tendencies, mannerisms, and how you behave over all. The magnet was a new hire that’s been around for a couple weeks and the owners were still observing her to make sure she wasn’t sketch. You did something out of the ordinary and was not normal due to a new environment, new environment being a new manager being there and telling you what to do.
"I'm as indispensable to a large corporation as the CEO."
I mean, he's not wrong there. Both are easily replaceable.
As a longtime computer programmer, I'm surprised OP actually deleted the corporate PR video rather than rename it something innocuous. It's second nature for a pro to do that when putting in a new version of something in case it has to be quickly reinstated. Still, she was a relative newbie to the field.
For the food thief, when OP started the looped video of Steven. I honestly wish she said, with enough volume so that the highers would hear. "Hey Steve, your on TV."
Now I’m wondering if this was Seattle’s Best or Starbucks?😂
Sounds a lot like Starbucks because of the "designer look" of granola bars and croissants.
It was Starbucks
From the descriptions, it _sounds like_ it might just be the Fourth and Union store. Alleyway out back, two entrances (with one dedicated for employees), and advertising screens.
@@sintanan469 now that you said it totally!
@@sintanan469 I think your right, it's an urban store in that story.
I used to work at a Seattle's Finest. I got bullied by a coworker for 8 months I finally got sick of it and reported her soon after her hours were reduced before leaving entirely. I acknowledge I'm lucky as many times the bully wins but I guess she was already on thin ice.
I also used to work at a "Seattle's Finest" lol. And I had something similar to the cookie story happen to me as well.
There was this one shift lead (we called her crazy Amy cos she was nuts) who found a $20 in the tips and said that since we were the only ones in the store we should split it. Me, sus af, said to her that she was the MoD for the night and it was up to her if that was what she wanted to do (this was a fun job for me outside my office job so I didn't care about the money). Thankfully she put the money away. But she got put on suspension for something related to giving too many freebies to her friends and transferred to a different location - and then later I heard she got fired for stealing. Karma
We all know an employee like Steve who think they the boss and try order you and other peoples around and I glad he went to jail, and Eliza seem like a good person glad she didn't get in trouble
Your comment just made me think about my local Sonic... I worked there twice, leaving the first time because I didn't think I could handle the summer rush, and leaving the second time because the GM left. It was SUPER unclear if she was fired or if she quit... but she got in an argument with the owner, and 10 minutes later he came in and said she no longer worked there. I put in my 2 weeks notice the next day, because I KNEW things would go downhill without her. And I was right. I also left in the nick of time, as I stayed longer thanks to the pandemic but when I left I was barely keeping up with the summer rush and was seriously stressed out... but the assistant manager at the time was definitely not cut out for general manager, and the best shift manager, well... she wasn't prepared for that level of responsibility, and she definitely got screwed over by getting shoved into it. They definitely suffered for a while, but they seem to be recovering. From the sound of it, it's a completely new staff.
@@JanMaynz agreed alot these owner or boss think they know the inside and out of the company and it take one employee who know the in and out of the company and once that employee leave, the company fall apart
@@SoldierSpiderx What was especially bizarre about it was that they got along great before this, and I heard him praise her more than once, but that day... IDK what happened. But I immediately knew it was a mistake, and it worked out well for me, anyway.
@@JanMaynz yea maybe she want more money and he wasn't try pay her or he got cocky and knew he could do better without and fired her cause he was pay her way to much and want find someone cheap and hired someone in her post
OP in story 2: I can’t work mornings I have school
Steve: in 20 years I’ve learned to be a team player
Me: guessing that’s why he doesn’t have a college degree
Rule #1 in story #2, people, do not mess with a computer geek.
You were a good employee rSlash, offering to pay for those 20 cookies that were given to you by that sucky manager.
It's like court. He pleaded guilty and got off lighter. My guess is that the manager was fired for having no proof of Rslash having malicious intent despite insisting he did.
Thanks for making the episodes longer, even if it's just 5 minutes its what I listen to at work
I'm glad your boss believed you about the cookies. That's built trust and how it should have been handled. I can see a kid that couldn't express himself or got defensive being fired over it.
18:55 i don't think that was it at all, I think your manager thought it was okay but when questioned why 30 cookies were missing she lied and blamed you to save her job, trying to get you fired wasn't intentional, but could've happened to save their job
hey! I've been watching your videos daily for a really long time, so i just wanted to thank you for making them. theyre a part of my daily routine. I'd even go as far as to say that they've helped me keep going, I've some mental health issues. anyways, i really appreciate you making these vids, so thank you!
I worked for a Fast Food chain as one of the Cooks. We hired a new girl as a waitress, she was 17 I believe, but she was terrible at her job. She tired to avoid cleaning, taking orders, serving food, etc.... Basically tried to avoid doing her job tasks and she stole tips. She was finally fired a few weeks later when one of the managers caught her in the walk-in Cooler eating our cheesecakes! She'd been doing this the whole time she worked there, she would sneak off to the cooler and eat the cheesecakes, while hiding the serving plates they were on, and if she heard someone coming she would throw the cheesecake she hadn't finished eating under the shelves in the cooler. Searching the Cooler and Freezer sections, we found several serving plates and containers. She had worked at this store for almost a month, and had stolen Hundreds of Dollars worth of Cheesecake!
I almost cried at how good the ending of the thief story was, damn
I'm sure the second story about the coffee shop was already done on r/slash a few years ago.
No. I know for a fact that it wasn't done. Probably something SIMILAR, but I know that this story in particular wasn't done.
I watch every video while drawing over and over again (his voice is just really good, sue me) and I'm more than sure that this one wasn't repeated. Maybe the repeated one was his personal story? He could have told us that one some years ago.
I was thinking that too. It was definitely repeated.
I think so too lol
I've definitely heard the coffee one before
The last story reminded me of a time where this girl tried to get me fired. Basically, I had just started at my current job(this was a year and a half ago) and so had all of my coworkers so we hadn't really trusted each other and cash was all over the place so we went on cash control(basically instead of counting the drawers just at night, we counted the drawers whenever there were shift changes and no one could use anybody else's drawers). One day I dropped a 50 when I had tried to put it in the drop box and my supervisor in charge accused me of being the one stealing but no one believed her cause I worked at our neighbor stores as well and they never had problems with cash. Turns out she was the one stealing the money and was quickly fired. Not the first time I've been accused of something similar. I'm very nice to everyone I meet and people see me as someone they can easily throw under the bus but once you piss me off, all bets are off.
How's Lily doing? Hope she and as well as you and your wife are doing good
Have a great one everybody!!!! 🥰🥰🥰
FYI people named Steven or Stephen are often called Steve for short - this guy probably went by both
I'm positive you've done that Seattle's finest story before. Still an awesome story.
Rslash, your cookie story reminded me of working at one of my jobs I had, the bosses drilled into your head “don’t take anything off the lines…EVER…when you’re working on making orders!!!”.
So, me, being the good worker bee I am, never touched anything or took food from the lines.
My bosses however? They thought the rules didn’t apply to them. Even went as far as literally saying to me “oh, come onnn…don’t you want just *one* fry? Nobody will ever knooow…”.
Urgh, people like that drive me to drink….
I worked with a guy once who tried to get me fired for stealing money from the register. Backfired though since our manager thought it was real strange that money didn't start going missing until after the dude was hired. Funny how the the theft stopped as soon as he was fired. Hmmm I wonder why 🤣
The last story reminds me of an old coworker o had at dominos
She would always have absurdly high credit card tips compared to the rest of the drivers during the day shift
Well the district manager thought that was odd so they tracked her tips for several months and sure enough she was writing in tips on every delivery and was fired for it
I love the OP is so smart with computers that she was able to override the company infomercials. Not easy on may systems. What a complete burn on Steve, Elzia was lucky enough to have OP help here .
I'm always on my good behavior cuz you never know when somebody might be watching you
Oh nice... The man doing the stealing goes to jail for 6 years, but the wife who was aiding him and profiting, gets nothing because she has kids.
Suspended sentence, meaning she's going to jail later, presumably when the kids are older.
---
Chances are though that this lady might have been "electronically tagged" with an ankle bracelet or some other device alongside put under heavier surveillance for the duration of her "bail / probation / home-jail"-time.
So she could live with and take her children alongside have a job.
But otherwise she couldn't anything else without prior convos for appointments and such.
---
In the words of my dear departed team leader Kevin, “this ain’t brain surgery.”
Imagine being a crook and being able to avoid going to jail because you have children. . How entitled do you have to feel at that moment like "I avoided jail because I have a kid that means I can do whatever I want!" R Justice system is a joke.
I don’t think I could have worked with a guy like Steve when I had scalding hot liquids within arms reach at every second. He would have gotten a molten Americano to the face and/or crotch by the end of the month. I’m not as patient as the OP
I wouldn't be as patient. At some point, the stuff would hit the fan.
Just because Steven didn't go to college doesn't mean the rest of his workers need to suffer.
Years ago, my husband worked at a local gas station that had a Subway. One day, as I dropped him off at work, we saw a car in the back by Subway’s coolers. Two people were putting stuff in their car. Later that day, I ran by the gas station for something - gas, cigarettes, etc - only to find just about every local police officer as well as a bunch of county sheriff department, sitting up at Subway interviewing employees and watching security footage. I guess one of the people we saw earlier was the manager of Subway and she decided to steal a whole lot of Subway’s inventory to feed herself and her family, and to sell some of it to friends. I still can’t figure out how she thought that would work.
You've done the Starbucks story before! Thanks for reminding me of it. It's epic.
My job is very strict about when we can leave, like people get reprimanded for leaving even a minute early. My new coworker (who thought she was my boss but was really on equal footing with me) kept trying to get me to leave early. “It’s okay. I’ll handle it.” And I kept refusing. She’d go “But it’s okay, I’m in charge.” And I’d point out that, no, she wasn’t.
Eventually I had to make a complaint against her because she was getting aggressive and she spun some lie to management about how I had class and kept complaining that I needed to leave early. Then my boss pointed out that I’d already graduated and she had nothing more to say.
She got fired a few months later. Got really creepy, kept trying to get me to go over to her house. I kinda think she was a really inept serial killer.
This story is a little like the last story. In the 1981 I moved to Nevada from Washington state. I went to work in a gold mine. Once in awhile I had to work nights. The company had 2 rented phone lines that were in constant use during the day, but nobody used them at night. When I would take my breaks I used these rented lines to call my friends back in Washington. I did this quite frequently. One day we had a maintenance meeting. (I was a Mechanic) It was brought up that even though the company had rented the phone lines, they still had to pay per minute for long distance calls, just at a much lower rate. I told the #2 in maintenance, "I am sorry Tom, I thought that those lines did not cost anything to use. I have been calling my buddies in Washington at night."
He answered, "Yea, we know that you have. I wish that you would quit."
I answered, "sure Tom. No problem." And that was that. Not another work was mentioned. For the first 4 years it was a great place to work. Then they hired a new head of HR. That was the end for many, me included. The guy was a total ass-hat!!!
The cookie story was your early proof of your ability to tell a good story.
Wonderful example of the gender sentencing gap there at the end. Both complicit in theft and sale of stolen goods, one gets a suspended sentence, the other prison.
Man, your own story sounds weird as hell… like how on earth did she expect that to play out?
“oh yeah Rslash stole all the cookies yesterday.”
“… did you try to stop him?”
“Well no…”
“Did you record it?”
“Well no…”
“Did you try to contact me (the boss) or the police?”
“Well no…”
“Then wtf?”
Why does Eliza have the 'RSLASH Karen voice'? She didn't do anything wrong..
Maybe cause it was a different voice from her normal voice.
Lol, as usual, don't duck with the IT person. The same applies to a student studying computer science
When I was a manager at a hardware store, I ended up having to call police and make government reports against another manager. I just managed a department, but he was second assistant of the whole store. He also was some kind of twisted and he was the most hated manager in the store. So we had a "boneyard" which is what we called the yard behind the store where all the wood, metal, etc was. Customers could drive back there to load up but they needed to go through a gate. We had a security person there who would check to see if you had purchased the items you were going to get. It was like two shacks with a roof over them and the gates.
Well, as animals do, pigeons started perching on the roof of these gates. It wasn't a crazy amount, maybe 3 or so. They weren't making nests and they weren't there all the time, but it was enough for my second in command manager to lose his shit.
He hated animals and said they were gross and these birds were making the store look bad. So, did he call the city to get some spikes set up? Did he call animal control? Nope.
He brought a fucking gun, his own gun, to work and shot them. In plain sight, during working hours.
This was the middle of the day with people in the store and he was walking around with a loaded firearm.
My fiance was in one of the shacks and took a video which we then sent to law enforcement
I'm not sure exactly what happened because I quit less than a month after, but I do know that he got served a legal letter at work. And he had to go to court
But to my knowledge he still works there so you know, law enforcement sucks but at least I embarrassed and inconvenienced him
As a former LEO it's not up to the cops, it's up to the city attorney, or the district attorney. Add in state Statutes vs city ordinances. If state Statutes allowed for weapons, but he was shooting in city limits, at best the cops could cite him for a misdemeanor charge of discharging a firearm in city limits, and possibly push for a charge of reckless endangerment as well as a reckless discharge, charge. The city attorney or the DA are the ones that can drop the charges. Guessing he was friends with someone in the city attorneys office, which is why he more than likely wasn't charged. As for being cuffed, well again that depends on the law. Cops can't just make an arrest, especially in open carry states. Only way they could have is if the property had a sign that stated "no weapons" or how it works in my state. They couldn't charge him for more than a misdemeanor offense. Add in that rather you like it or not, pigeons are nuisance animals so you can eliminate them. Not saying it's right, but the cops hands are tied. They only enforce the laws, they can only enforce what is written. Trust me, I've wanted to arrest idiots for shooting pellet guns in town at pigeons, but I could only cite them for "expelling a pellet outside of property" that's it. All I could do is write a ticket. Now if they fired a .22, well I could arrest them for discharge of a weapon in city limits. But again they would get maybe 10 days in jail and probation as well as a fine. It was a misdemeanor, not a felony. Only became a felony if someone was injured. Then I could slap all kinds of charges on them. Reckless endangerment, reckless discharge, reckless discharge with bodily injury, ect. Until then though, misdemeanor charge, and they got a slap on the pee pee. So it's not the cops, it's the court, city council, county commissioners, state legislature.... Yeah if you've never worn the badge, or you don't know anyone who has, then by all means, cry and complain that they "didn't do anything" but, having wore the badge, I know that their hands are tied. Unless there is a risk to serious bodily injury or risk to property more than a few tiny holes, nothing can be done, and if he's using a .22 with bird shot rounds, well then it's even less the cops can do. Those are pest control rounds. Snake shot, bird shot, pretty much only dangerous to birds and snakes and only dangerous to humans at extremely close range. Again, not the cops fault. Don't like the law change it or move. The cops can't arrest because you don't like something. They can't arrest because you are offended. They can only arrest if he was a danger. If he was shooting an AR-15, AK-47, 9mm carbine, or really anything bigger than a .22 with bird shot, then yeah, dude is going to prison. Hell, if he had a 12 gage loaded with Bird shot, prison time, but a more than likely he only had a .22 caliber. Not saying it's smart, I'd never do it in a populated area, it's not safe and violates the rules of gun safety. But you can't arrest somebody for being stupid. Trust me if I could have, I would have overcrowded county in a day with the idiots I dealt with.
I enjoy the OP calling Starbucks "Seattle's Finest" because there was a company called Seattle's Best Coffee that Starbucks bought not too long ago.
I have to say, my boss is called Steven, however many call him Steve, so I get the fact OP writes both
Stealing Stock? Oh YES !
Hit on my partner and deliberately mess up our hours? I'll get you fired...AND arrested.
Back around the year 2000 both my partner and myself worked for the same supermarket chain. Originally I was asked to take the position of assistant manager...which I did for a while, however due to health problems I wanted to step down...so I suggested ( most subtly...lol ) that I knew someone who would be IDEAL for the position.
So my other half got the job ;-)
Then a new manager arrived, his name was 'Richard'...literally. And that's when the 'fun' began. Now this is a guy who had been with the company for around 8 years or so ( I think ).
First of all he didn't like me...but...he wasn't going to do anything 'overt' towards me, although we were both around the same height he was 'soft', not very fit, and relied on his position as manager to boss people about. Well...that doesn't cut any ice with me. He also fancied my partner, even though she made it more than clear she wasn't interested, and besides which...he was married with two young kids.
He also did a shit load of stuff to her that really pissed me off....for example: The store was open from 7.00 AM to 11.00 PM, so we worked shifts...fair enough.
BUT...he would (and all to frequently) when he was due to work the late shift, suddenly announce that he had had a phone call and that he was 'needed' at home, and whoever was on duty at the time would have to work to 11.00 PM...then he would quickly waltz out the door. One day he tried that on my partner...again. So she phoned me straight away and told me what he said...I replied 'Oh no your not! We're going out tonight'!...so I got washed, had a shave...and got dressed...black suit, black shirt, black tie, black gloves, black socks and shoes...and 'Terminator' style sunglasses, and a double breasted black full length trench-coat over my shoulders like a fookin' cape.
I walked in...he took one look at me and ( I've no doubt ) the expression on my face...then ran out the door to his office in the back...and stayed there until we left...bang on 5.00 PM.
Some months I was still working there...and sometimes my partners shifts and mine would coincide. But...he still got 'me' to do the stock count of the bond room ( where all the booze and tobacco where kept ). But the strange thing was every time I did the stock take ( most of the time ) it usually came up short on a few items...ALWAYS the high price items. Expensive items, Cigars, high price Brandy etc.
When I ( like the good employee I was ) brought this to his attention, I was always told that I had obviously 'miscounted'...and he would double check it and 'correct' my 'mistakes'. Strange thing though...those 'mistakes' would be carried over to the next stock take. Sometimes though the stock sheets would have been altered to show the ( ahem ) 'correct' stock count....what he didn't know was that since I had designed the stock sheets I had the master on my PC at home...I also had a spreadsheet I'd designed...since the previous manager had asked me If I knew how to to do that...but then he'd got promoted to a bigger store.
So I started to keep a duplicate of the stock sheets, then transfer the data to the spreadsheet. That's when I realised just how much stock was going missing. So one dark night after the manager had left for home, I made a phone call to H/O...and asked for the security Dept. I told them what I 'thought' was going on...but named no names...even when pushed to do so...telling them 'Look...I'm just giving you the information...and since I have no proof I'm naming no names...you draw your own conclusions'.
The next time I'm on late 6 guys walked in and immediately spread themselves around the shop...then one of them tried to walk behind the counter. He was told in no uncertain terms to back away...or else. He grinned at me...slipped his hand into a pocket and pulled out his I.D. Yup...security had arrived. They told me that a team would arriving shortly to install a second ( and unknown to anyone else ) CCTV system to specifically cover the bond room...both inside and out. The current system did cover the bond room, but not very well. I asked how did they know it wasn't me taking stuff...and trying to put the blame on somebody else. 'OP...we've checked you out...we KNOW your clean.' The inference of that is that the manager wasn't
So the new system was installed...that was a Saturday night...the following Saturday I was due to finish at 5.00 PM...at around 4.00 PM a bunch of guys walked in and spread themselves around the store...they looked somewhat familiar ;-)
Just before 5.00 PM the manager walked in...and was almost instantly surrounded...and marched out to the office, a female ( in store uniform ) stepped forward and said she'd take the counter...I looked at her. 'Not until I see some I.D'! She grinned and laughed...then showed me her Security I.D.
We walked out to the office where the manager was 'informed' that there had been unacceptable stock losses...and that it was suspected a member of staff was responsible...obviously he straight away tried putting the blame on me. Then...THEN he was told to sit down...while they checked out the CCTV footage.
When they brought that up it was obvious he'd found a blind spot in the cameras coverage...He sat there and smiled. Right up until the head security guy said. 'Now we'll check the other systems recordings'...he turned white. They played back the relevant sections...and there he was stuffing things into a carrier bag, he'd then open the back door and drop the stuff in the dumpster and cover it with cardboard, go back in and lock up. After closing he would go round the back and recover his loot...ignoring the fact of the other CCTV cameras both inside and outside.
Got him and bang to rights!
I later found out he was prosecuted...not sure what sentence he got though...but I did hear he got hit with a criminal record, and with a big fine as well, his marriage collapsed, he lost his home as well.
Don't mess around with my hours...don't try to hit on my partner...and sure as hell DON'T try to have ME arrested for what YOU DID !
Story 2: Would you sell your dignity for a few extra bucks? Of course not!
There is always some bastard trying to get you fired. Thank god good companies have policies against these things.
I remember working for little Caesar’s for a time. It started out nice. 30 hours. I was still in high school. But then this new manager came in. Brought me down to 20 and eventually 8 hours a week. I didn’t see the point in working and quit.
Steve is a nickname for Steven/Stephen though, so that's not really name changing, is it?
While true, it sounds different. It's like calling a guy Drew AND Andrew. Harmless, but clarification is nice.
@@horseluver4ever623 My brother is named Steven, and I use Steve and Steven interchangeably all the time when referring to him, just like people use "Rob" and "Robert" when referring to me. It's pretty common.
@@robertc.9503 I'm not knocking that. It was a little strange to clarify, but there's no harm in doing it.
that was real nice of the company to send $200 to op for the video of steve. She just did it because it was the right thing to do, expose the asshole and his scheme, and she got $200 of coffee out of it, sounds good to me.

On the first story, it shows you the need for a universal ID in the us. I was mindblown when finding out that Americans don’t have ID cards
I love listening to these types of videos while I play games
Wow the end of that first story was actually kinda wholesome.
I worked at subway as well and the cookie thing is actually true. Your manager was trying to stretch his inventory as far as possible. The whole eat fresh thing went into full swing when i worked there and by policy it was 'recommended' to make fresh cookies everyday. But if they came by to check your franchise and the cookies were stale it was on you. Your manager was taking a chance and the older girl was actuslly following policy. At least by 08-12 standards
Hopefully Fred fully recovers, it seems like he finally understood what he was doing was not right
I make sure the features in our store are updated, I make sure the backroom is binned, I am the only one with a full list of equipment for the store, I manage the equipment lockers, I am the top associate for my department, and I do as much as team leads, and I manage a bunch of store and department projects, I'm the only one that knows how to do certain things, I'm as close to indispensable as you can be, but everyone can be replaced.
You got to take cookies home? Darn, we cant.
I worked for a public housing authority
After working there a while I accidentally stumbled across the side hustle from some of the employees there
Turns out the repair crew and some of the property managers had been taking property from the residents and selling it online and they’ve seizing drugs from the tenants and only giving the bare minimum to the police the rest was cut and sold back to the tenants at a markup
They even had a meth operation on site
I was given the ultimatum to join the hustle
I refused and they tried to kill me I disappeared for my safety they eventually got caught

every now and then Dabney messes with us by way of re-uploading an "evergreen", and gives us all major deja vu.
Shook when I heard the uncensored swear. Rslash is a cheeky bastard.😆
Second story is one of my all-time favs.
Right at 6am thank you
Dabney. Not you taking ALL TWENTY OF THE COOKIES🤣
Busting a crooked manager...on the big screen? Oh how delicious. Precise and elegant. Substituting the usual video with another evidence video?? Genius.
Your subway story sounds close to what happened to my wife at one of her jobs at one time.
She's working at this coffee shop for about a year. The new employee came in and started acting like she was a real big shot. After a couple of weeks, she started trying to pull my wife aside to talk to her about a job opportunity. Apparently, her husband I was looking for a new secretary and she thought that my wife would make a a really good secretary. She was talking about the better bill pays and all that stuff. Luckily, me and my wife talked it over the first time. Didn't take us long to put together that she was just trying to get my wife out of the store so she could be the new big employee, because my wife was quite the hard worker there. After a little bit of digging, we figured out that the husband was actually moving businesses, so the whole entire secretary job would only last a couple of days and then she would be out of a job. And knowing that new girl she would do everything to make sure that Candice won't get rehired. Just makes you wonder what some people think when they're trying to get one up on things like that. The coffee shop wasn't even like Starbucks or anything, it was like a mom and pop shop.
That last section of the video about stealing cookies could count as malicious compliance
You don't have to have a college degree to be a manager at"Seattle's Finest". My son was a manager while he was going to college.
$200. In store credit to a place where you you probably get free coffee is almost as bad as getting paid in exposure bucks !
But OP quit so it worked out 😂
ok but she doesn't work there anymore and still gets free coffee, for a while.
The Starbucks in my neighborhood donates day old breads and things to the shelter I used to work at. I would have assumed this was that. 🤷
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!! OP is a master and commander as a nuclear revenge woman. Smart af.
the story about steven got my heart pounding, that was an amazing story
Going off your subway story, i wasn't so lucky lmao. I worked at a bookstore coffee shop and the manager who was training me said we were allowed to take small cups of the drinks if there was any left over in the blenders after making customer drinks. After doing this for 2 days (it was those little plastic dixie cups and they were usually only like, a quarter full if that after making drinks) I was pulled into the office and accused of stealing product with that same manager and the Head GM there. I was like "no, I was told I could have it if there was a little left???" and the training manager denied ever saying anything of the sort and I got fired. I literally have no idea why that manager did that unless she herself didn't actually know and just scapegoated me. It really sucked cuz I liked that job =/
I have known one too many Stevens in my life.
Not only was he just doing the company wrong but the other employees too they have bills to pay also manager privileges when he is the supervisor prison is going to do its thing because he will not last a day in there
There is a chance that I have been to the store “Seattle’s Finest” is based off of. I love the laziness in OP’s name change of the company cuz irl it’s called Seattle’s Best
maybe im tripping but damn the audio in this video sounds really crisp, like better than it usually is
The second story is like my first job . I worked at a papa ginos and my general manager was a complete mess . First of all let me state that this is a terrible company (they allow people who’ve worked there along time to stay by transferring them into another store when they get in trouble I once had a manager grab a minors ass for weeks before they did anything and they only moved him to a store less then 10 mins away )my general manager was worse Hed show up drunk to most of our shifts and yell at people for takeing 3 min smoke breaks when there was no business and then proceeded to take 30 min smoke breaks . Under schedule days he wasn’t working and over schedule days he was . We the turn over rate was terrible I was going from 40 hour weeks to 16 the next and they were scheduled terribly. There were a lot of times they would schedule me 5.5 hour shifts instead of 6 so I’d work the same time and not get a break .There’s a terrible story there for every day I worked from him getting in a fist fight with a customer to giveing to makeing me buy him gold bond from a cvs 3 miles away in a blizzard Bc his balls were chaffing. So after a week of closeing shifts and then opening the following morning all while understaffed .so when taxes came around I did some snooping in his office when he left to print some papers he was using his brothers social security number to avoid paying child support. He had 3 children all older then me 19 22 and 24 I knew one of them from my older cousins friend group.we got in touch with his other brothers and within 6 months all of them were able to pay off their student loans and I made 2x what I made that year in whistle blower rewards . He lived super frugality with an exemption of the alcoholism he had the money to pay the child support but didn’t out of spite I wonder what there lives could have been like if they had the support when they actually needed it
I feel like I've heard him tell this exact story before

Honestly every time I hear your cookie story R/Slash, my brain goes: ah, so that means I can have all the cookies on the SECOND day then
The wife getting off easy due to her children boils my blood. She should of gotten the full time. If she loved her children, then she shouldn't of committed the crime.
What I don’t understand is this, if you are going to steal do it smartly. If you are nice and a good boss to everyone then no ones going to go out of their way to catch you stealing and if they are it’s more likely they will ignore or come talk to you about it so all you need to do is get a cover story.

Hi

Hello
Who stole the cookies from the cookie jar?🎶
Ok, so my story isn't near as dramatic as the Starbucks story, but I've been given some leftover pizza from our local cafeteria at the aquatics center a few times. Since they need to sell their pizza fresh, they either take it home or send it my way since I enjoy Papa John's. (Domino's is preferable to me though) Now, whenever we get leftovers, I make sure to share it with everyone every time. Usually they turn it down, but I like making sure. Mostly cause I'm polite but also I wouldn't want me reporting me making off with products with greedy intent. Nothing ever came from it aside from a minor confusion when I asked those who offered me snacks to treat my employees the same kindness. Didn't mean to look like I was pestering them. **Shrugs** But I even buy a couple slices and even some pretzels from them so as to not completely be a freeloader. It certainly isn't the only reason I work there either, but one of those reasons is unfortunately not going to be there much longer because he's advancing to a new job. I really will miss my boss but I'll keep in mind that this will mean new opportunities for everyone including for him. Let's hope my new boss doesn't do anything that warrants r/prorevenge.
You stop at nuclear revenge but you can go even further beyond
I hope that everyone is having a good Saturday!
$3000 for TWO cars? That's almost dirt cheap!
I'm pretty sure I've heard the second story on an older rslash video, but I'm not 100 percent sure
