It means the game is gonna be interesting. Either you're gonna fuck up majorly, or you're gonna somehow roll high enough to beat the odds and do something legendary. Just make sure to not press on if there is no way for it to be badass, since those are the moments that success isn't gonna be worth the high probability of failure. If you're going to mess with someone who appears helpless it's going to be a shitshow, but if you ask to do an unconventional attack, then it'll be great. We've had both in my campaign. One dude thought it'd be a great idea to try and catch a meteor, it was a tense moment of teamwork to try to save him, but also very funny and satisfying to hear how they insisted and ended as a pancake. Another dude tried to parry a metalgear to save a party member, rolled high enough and managed to luck out.

These are what I call educated idiots. They are people that have degrees and went to school. But never worked in the industry that they are managing in. It basically leads to a disconnect between what they want and what actually can or should be done.

The “assembler” or more specifically termed as the expediter, is literally the most critical position in a busy restaurant. These folks are VERY hard to find as the right person for that job. I used to go to other restaurants and swipe/steal the most hard core efficient waiter or waitress I could find that worked there and hire them to train specifically for that position. The perfect expediter took ALL the crap from the kitchen, wait staff, and management and it would roll right off their back while they made the entire place move like a well oiled machine. NEVER mess with the expediter/assembler EVER if you have selected the right person for that position!! The perfect expediter is like the sound mixing person at a live show. They can either make you like a hero with a perfect sound mix, or if you are a butthole to them, they can absolutely ruin your night, lol. ALWAYS pay your expediter at least 30-50% above your standard tipped wage paid and ALWAYS make sure they are tipped out at the end of the evening according to their ACTUAL performance. Creating an expediter position and putting in the right person can be an incredible boost to the restaurants bottom line. 😎

Yeah, I’ve never heard that position called an “assembler” before. I worked as an expo for several years and I felt like half of my job was stopping fights between the kitchen staff and waitstaff. The cooks saw me as one of them, but the waitstaff saw me as one of them, so the goal was when each had a problem to have them come to me instead of taking it up with the cooks/waitstaff personally. And I think because I’m a woman (in my experience, most expos are men), they were more likely to approach me more calmly or more like they were venting whereas with the guys they went off and took out their anger on them. I felt more like a mediator or counselor at times than kitchen staff. The worst was when we had several waiters that were taking steroids and you could see them getting angrier and angrier day by day. Eventually instead of coming to me with issues they would march past me and just start trying to physically fight the cooks. And I would have to help physically restrain them until more help got back there. And management never fired these roided out fuck heads. Never found out why not. We lost cooks over these assholes, but they still kept them around. It drove me especially crazy because such a huge part of my job was to prevent confrontation between waitstaff and cooks, yet these roid rage pricks would go to the line and start throwing punches.

When we started the test everyone took their questions and reported to the group. The lecturers visible confusion, realisation , horror and then pride was quite wonderful. The next lecture he chided the people who refused to be involved for not working smart. This was about ten years ago. Laptops were not yet a standard item that you brought to class and the average phone would chug so it was probably the first time he had seen that kind of scale come into play

He was then diagnosed with terminal cancer (passed away March 2018, it was a rough 13 months). During this time they harassed her, trying to pressure her to come back to work, claiming the department needed her, that it was selfish to leave work for other people. The usual. This made her genuinely unwell but she was smart and documented it all. The day she was set to return she put in her 1 month's notice and took early retirement. Because of the documented mistreatment she was able to secure full backpayment for missed wages (the DWP are notorious for not giving it), she received a formal apology from her boss's boss and is just generally far more content with life now she doesn't have to work for them anymore!

Especialy older generations feel a bit anxiety when dealing with someone who has their hairs entirely in unnatural color. Same thing if that guy had tattos covering his face or excesive ammount of piercing. There is good chance that they would rather go somewhere else next time. So obviously shop owner will make rules about what appearance is and is not allowed. Fact that he was ok with streaks and did not react to those colored pin-ups shows that he was not asshole. On other side the employe was acting as a brat.

I worked at a Red Lobster for 2 years and have never once heard anything about a “Red Lobster way.”

For the first time, timezones are to my benefit.. I love that you post during night time for me so I basically get a bedtime story with these- Keep up the good work

Speaking of dumb policies, an old waitressing job of mine wouldn't let us call the cleaning rags "rags" (the ones you use to wipe down the tables and counters). Instead we were supposed to call them towels and would get yelled at if we didn't. The reason they gave? Rag is a euphemism for menstrual products. It is an old and RARELY used term where I am (I had never heard of the word having that meaning prior to this policy, and have only heard of it used that way once in my life since then.)

A saying I haven't heard for a long time. When people came to work grumpy or annoyed or got extra pissed off during the day it would be "watch out, Joe's on the rags." Used pretty much exclusively for male workers.

The "Are you sure...?" and "Can I get this written...?" are just another way of asking "Do you want to absolutely screw yourself ten times over?"

“Put it in writing, sign it and date it.” This phrase saved me a significant amount of pain and suffering with workers’ comp.

Restaurant manager: I worked in this tiny place once, with kind of a tough boss. I mean, I was the ONLY server. Early on, during slow times, I took the initiative to organize my area in the most efficient way for me, since I was the primary user. For a while, my boss would try to put things away where she wanted, but I would move them when I had time. I implemented faster and easier ways to do things, I made sure stock was properly rotated, I communicated when I was low on something. Slowly, she began to see I was improving the way things ran, and her wallet was benefitting. Finally, FINALLY, one day, she put some new stock down on a back counter and said with a smile, "I'd put this away, but I know you're just going to move it. Should I just leave it here until you get time to put it away?" I nodded and winked, and knew I had gained her respect. BEST job I ever had, and I stayed until her Dad got sick, and she had to sell.

Ok but I want to know who that teacher is. Teachers like that end up being the best teachers because students can like and trust them. I wish more teachers were like that

In the supermarket I go too (and worked for 10 years ago) there is a cashier who has had the rainbow of colors in her hair. I've pretty much seen all the colors. It's blue currently. She has been doing this for as long as I know her. (Around 12 years). Nobody truly gives a fuck about it. I love it!

As a former fast food employee, one tip to anyone still working at one: if your boss asks too " talk in the cooler/walk in, DON'T! It is a common tactic poor managers use to isolate 1 person without witness so that they can drum up any excuse to shift blame on said isolated employee. Thankfully, because of smartphones being so common, this practice is falling out of favor. ALWAYS COVER YOUR BACKSIDE!!

That teacher story was gold. You just know after that student left with the answer key that he just laughed to himself.

I mean, if a manager tells you your hair is violating the dress code, you have to comply or risk getting fired. It's called At-Will employment meaning they can pretty much fire you for anything they deem reasonable to be fired over and you sign a contract accepting that when you start employment

I LOVE the writing in the Red Lobster story's OP. They write like I do!

I worked as an assembler/alley coordinator for Red Lobster in my early 20's. Got to be there to see Endless Crab Legs and Endless Shrimp (both of which almost sank the franchise). The worst part was pushing hot food while servers screamed in my face to forget the entrees and make them house salads. I was expected to do both perfectly and simultaneously for $8.25 an hour. I do not miss that, or the mandatory split shifts, coming in at 6am and leaving at 2am with a 2 hour break in between.

That sentence about “the rules were made by big men in suits who have never held a spatula” is so effing true

In D&D, the things that the DM says to make you question everything are "are you sure?" and "where exactly are you standing?" In fact, if the DM asks for clarification at all, you should probably reconsider what you're doing. This is your last chance to prevent the dumb.

Is it just me or did Rslash just curse twice?

12:45 I think it needs to be mentioned here that blocking a person's only exit during a confrontation is literally a form of physical abuse. Anything that can be perceived as threatening, aggressive, or intimidating (such as keeping a person contained in the room during a confrontation) is physical abuse. Don't stand for it.

That answer key one reminds me of a story one of my professors told me. I was in his office getting out of class feedback on an assignment when I noticed a clay tablet, then another, then a few more. So I asked him what they were about: He had a tradition in one particular class (not the subject I was in) where for a major assignment he said if a student wrote their essay on a clay tablet they get an instant A. He claimed that he might get one every other year or so, but one year, in a class of about 25-30 students, he got ELEVEN tablets. And that was when he decided it was time to end the tradition on a high note.

PTO: My Dad was injured on the job. His boss was bitching at him about when he'd be back, for a week straight, despite doctor's orders for at least a month. Dad told her he had enough accrued sick time to stay off work until he retired, so leave him to recover in peace or never see him again.

The student asked for answer key? OP must have been beaming with pride. The syllabus did say you can ask any resource and receive it. The answer key is *definitely* a resource. The Red Lobster way? As written by corporate types who wouldn't know which end of a spatula to grab except most spatulas have some wood or or something that looks like wood in their handles. I found out very quickly these corporate policies are good starting places. But not always good ending places. They're meant to be guidelines, not hard and fast rules.

5:15 Rslash: "I asked him-" Ad: "What is your name?" I laughed so hard 🤣🤣🤣

Looks like the Bob's Kitchen one is where Bob tries to be Gordon Ramsey, but fails miserably.

The manager of a restaurant should be in the office doing paperwork. The sous chef should be overseeing the assembler.

Yooo, I finally did it. Hope y'all have a good day

The thumbnail is the incarnation of pure beauty

The student that became the master has a very cool teacher

There’s an unwritten rule for minimum wage workers: if customer attendance is low or dead, NEVER comment on it. Within 10 minutes of uttering the words, everyone on the planet will show up. A coworker broke that rule, guess what happened? My bus driving older sister ended up being late on her last run because of the 50 billion people she had to transport. My youngest sister asked me to pick her up from work early because…you guessed it. Good thing I had a book, because I ended up having to wait a whole hour past her original finishing time.

In bobs defense, the red lobster way is the most sanitary way. Empty plates just chilling waiting for food to be placed on them leaves them and the food open to contamination (whether that be from an accident or food that shouldn't touch touching), or something getting knocked over/broken.

I feel that no unnatural hair color rule. Our store manager won't let us have any unnatural colored hair. Now, my hair is brown, but the issue arose when I wore WIG for Halloween, St. Patrick's Day, or any other Holiday we were allowed to dress up for. My green wig for St. Patrick's Day wig was green, naturally, and I got told (after a year and a half of doing this) that I can't. 🙄

About the story where the guy was refusing to pay OP for the tickets because he had to sell the tickets first... The same thing happened to me; I used to sell on ebay but ebay put in a "Pay Later " plan... Which meant somebody would "buy" the item I was selling BUT I NEVER RECEIVED ANY PAYMENT FOR IT! The buyer would contact me about why I hadn't shipped the item yet and I'd always answer that i relied on the payment to pay the shipping with, and I never RECIEVED any payment for the item in question. Finally it got to the point where I was posting with each item " Please DO NOT USE THE PAY LATER PLAN AS I NEVER RECEIVE THE MONEY FOR THE ITEM! " But buyers kept on using it and I decided it wasn't worth the endless arguments and emails with both ebay and the buyer.

The restaurant story is a classic example of "almost always right, and almost never listened to."

7:19 I've said it before and I'll say it again: They. Are. Arrogant. They will *never* doubt themselves. The only reason that you would is because you have humility and integrity.

I think for the hospital story some counters exist, I know my dad had taken a lot more off days one year because he had extra, and the extra ones would go away at the end of the year, so sometimes he’d just take a Friday off. So I think some jobs have a built in counter to this. (Not sure if extra off days were also carried over days which is why I’m not sure)

I remember working at Wendy’s as a kid, they put me (someone who never had a job before) as the assembler. I had a sneaking feeling is because if you mess up you get yelled at. I quit two weeks later because they kept putting me there (no one else wanted to work there) He’s not joking about that job being the bottleneck, I would get stress out, than I realized this is not worth 8 dollars an hour for me. They didn’t even train me, they stuck me there with supervision for 1 hour (before rush) than left me think I knew everything

That college professor is such a doofus. Really explains a lot.

I had purple hair for years working in a supermarket and had purple hair for years, but I did wear a hat so no-one complained but after about 6 months my grandma asked if I knew if my hair was purple?

It is really nice watching these videos especially the entitled parents videos (not because of what the parents do but the revenge that their kin get)

When I hear "we do things the Restaurant Name way", I can't help but think "we do things the Stupid way." 😂😂😂😂

14:00 _"Make sure you understand that _*_I'M_*_ the boss here. Now, continue doing it your way."_

I was reminded of the Simpsons there. When Principal Skinner says: -Lets call her Lisa S. No, no.. that's too obvious... L. Simpson

I absolutely would flat out refuse to go into an isolated room with that lobster manager. If you want to say something to me, say it right here; if you want it to be private, keep your voice down.

Employers don’t like having people have different hair colors because it’s” disrespectful “ and “ unprofessional “

So just a point here on the walk in, they tend to be where kitchen staff go to scream, they're pretty well sound proof so their boss was basically preparing to tear them a new one but had no actual justification for doing so.

truth is, when someone asks you "are you sure you want me to answer that?" is way too late to say "no"

The last story: I've worked for managers like that. They lay down the law of the land, insist on doing things the way we were trained to do, despite knowing a little bending is needed in order for everything to run smoothly, then when it all goes to hell, they have to play scapegoat. Similarly, rather than admit that their leadership is the problem, they adamantly refuse to accept responsibility. The difference here between my former cycle boss and this manager, is write-ups would have happened. If this was at my former place of employment, Tlthe food assembler definitely would have gotten a write-up or potentially sent home for the rest of the day. That Dolores Umbridge knockoff that I used to work for just could not admit when she was wrong. That's the trouble with narcissists. I work for another corporate chain now, but common sense is present. If you're good at what you do, they leave you alone. If there are problems or you end up meeting something comped, they don't blame you for it. Sometimes guests are just jerks. Also, sometimes there's problems internally. The good news, on both ends those problems get fixed. Most of the time.

Story 5 is amazing, I am actually surprised that OP let the kid have the answer sheet.

I had an employer that refused to give me a managers bonus. I had been a “temp” manager for 20 months and a teal manager for only 4. They said that all that time as a temp manager didn’t matter and my bonus was based on the 4 months. I was vested in the retirement plan. So, I retired. They had to me over $13k for just my vacation time. I sat on my butt for 3 months before getting a job that pays more, had none of the stress and only 10% of the work. Those youtube videos of shredding are oddly soothing.

The story about the professor was so wholesome. I'm glad that creativity and ingenuity won the day there even if it meant an easy test and wasted lessons.

In stead of “are you sure?” I always ask “ do you want the truth or a answer you like? I can’t do both”

A good rule of thumb is to never fucked with your most skilled employees. You always support them as much as you can

6:56 "Are you sure you want me to answer that?" "No. I sense I am in trouble "😭

8:52 Did my man just make a freedom of information claim to his teacher?

The problem is these people, “the management” let their ego and arrogance ruin them. Their own self importance becomes their downfall. It doesn’t take a genius to know that any healthy relationship requires a mutual respect and good listening stills. A willingness to talk things over and compromise, when needed so all parties happy. That’s when a business truly thrives.

Talking about the questions “are you sure you want me to do that? And can I get that in writing?” Reminded me of a landscaping job I did, the customer asked me to build a retaining wall 1mm high and 50mm long and he said the price is NOT!! negotiable I will be paid $2400 no more no less and I will be paid up front because he will be out of the country for 6 months and when I tried to explain the dimensions problem I was told to just do as I’m told or don’t do it and he would get someone else so I got it in writing and did the job and he tried to take me to court but everything was in emails and writing and he would not let me build the correct size so due to his arrogance I kept to the contract
