Second story, I felt a pit in my stomach when I heard the guy mention his son and knew this was going to end badly. He was already reaching special levels of stupid when he got as angry as he did over getting something different and *didn't* jump when he was told it was the most valuable version. But to say 'he doesn't deserve it' is so bad, good God. And even during the *pandemic* of all times? Father of the year material right there. Also, real quick, first story? OP shouldn't feel bad. They made the boss get held accountable and that's it. They didn't get the boss fired, the boss got themselves fired.

I've had a wonderful boss, but the job was terrible. The only reason I stuck around, was covid and I was on government support (which combined turned into somewhat decent pay, thats how terrible the job was). Nothing nearby was hiring (or at least, not my age range at the time, worse pay or worse job), and I didnt have the funds to move. Everyone else was about 5 years younger and could apply for other jobs a lot more easily, and they got accepted. So in the end, only me, my boss and 3 other people remained, to run a store that required at least 7 people to run. Once the store finally shutdown due to people no longer able to work, we all (except the boss), got severance payments for a few months, which gave me the funds to move AND the funds to survive for 14 months. Gave me time to prevent burnout, learn new skills and a job that pays me triple for less time. If I would have gotten paid like 5% more, I could have done so before covid.

They were still a joy to have at the shop, since they'd buy other things once they were in order while having a nice chat about anime, comics or live action. Good times. Now the Karens though, oh yea, I loved doing the exact same thing OP did in their story. One time I had one come back with their child to buy w/e and when they saw a Funko POP they dropped the pre-order for being sold for $110 (it was $12 at the time of preorder btw) she got so mad that we "ripped her off" and demanded the item she "preordered". I had fun going back and forth with her as she demanded my manager, called me a theft and left saying she report the store for unfair practices.

It’s lovely to get the occasional wholesome story. It’s a nice break from the many stories of people treating others like dirt.

I have a friend who does long haul trucking. You know who is smart/in a reputable company based on if they have dash cams. The number of idiots who try to get payouts from 18 wheelers is staggering. Like, do you know how powerful those vehicles are? Brake checking an 18 wheeler is like a dumber form of Russian roulette. The weight those vehicle haul can be so massive that they literally can not stop. My friend has shown dash cam footage of people leaving this world because they swerve in front of a truck, slam the brakes, and then you see a car disappear into a cloud of debris. Plus, the truck drivers do not get charged because the truck cams are so high they have the vantage point to see above and show that there was no reason to hit the brakes. Dumb, dumb move. Respect trucks people, they are super powerful vehicles and the people moving them are just trying to do their jobs. Edit: my friend has shown dash cam footage from other drivers. He has not, thank God, had any brake checks where he has made contact with another vehicle.

Some cornballs make the mistake of thinking everyone who collects funko pops intends to sell them.

The Funko Pop story gave me war flashbacks to working at Hot Topic during the peak of the Pop Vinyl craze. The number of rules we had to have on them for both employees and customers was ridiculous. We had to place limitations on how many could be bought because resellers would swipe them out from under actual collectors (ESPECIALLY on release day). Rules that if you push, shove, hit, yell, etc., we reserve the right not to sell to you and you will be asked to leave. Chase variants had to be on the sales floor for at least 24 hours before employees were allowed to buy them (which NEVER happened because chases were so valuable) Now I have a bunch of plastic figurines that aren’t really worth anything but at least they’re characters I like lol

There's something similar here in my town. The 'hourly people' (to compare to the story) are highschool kids that can only work after school versus the 'per yard' people who were full time and can be at a site at 6am until 4pm when the school kids take over. However they don't just get paid min wage, they get school credits for helping, and they get a free meal. As the other group doesn't get school credits they also get a free breakfast.

Steve is an amazing employer and a brilliant businessman! Kind, considerate and generous is what keeps your employees happy and the work coming in. He did brilliantly towards Jim.

Last story: Braking or cutting in front of a truck is EXTREMELY dangerous. Sometimes the load the truck is carrying is so heavy that all they can do is hit the brakes to no avail while the truck jams on top of whatever is in front of it. I've heard a story from a guy once about his friend who died because a woman has hit the brakes in front of him, and he was carrying aluminum coils. The coils broke free from the cargo compartment and broke their way across the cabin, smashing him in the process.

In 2017, I was at GameStop a week after the Nintendo Switch came out. I figured that I wasn’t going to get a copy before the fall, but there was lady in front of me who was apparently more optimistic. She asked if the store had any Switches, and the cashier said that they had a bundle that came with Breath of the Wild, Bomberman, a backpack, and a second set of controllers. She refused because she only wanted the Switch and BotW. As she left I rang up my order and asked about the price of the bundle. It turns out that it costed the same as a Switch, Zelda, and the extra controllers, and the other items were basically free. I still use the backpack to this day.

Story 4: I have a story similar to this. I was on my way to work, feeling good. I had finally paid off my car loan, the title was on the way, I had a full tank of gas, and good car feelings. Then I ran into traffic. Total grid lock. I wind up behind a semi-truck without a trailer, a smaller one used by a local tree farm. This guy was not using his brake to hold himself stopped, but he is bouncing on the clutch. He'd roll backwards about 5-10 feet, then let out the clutch to catch himself, and roll forward again. I kept myself well back from him, about 25-30 feet to give him room. I could see the driver through the little back window in the cab. Then I saw him lean way over to the passenger side of the cab, and he starts rolling backwards. We are in grid lock. I have no where to go. I lean on my horn when he got to about 15 feet, and he just kept rolling still reaching for the passenger side. Then it happened... crunch as his dumb ass lets his truck roll backwards into my finally paid off car. Good day ruined. I fight my way over to the side of the road. There wasn't any steam coming from under my hood, so I knew he didn't crush my radiator, but I was still pissed. Since traffic was so bad, he didn't get very far. I ran to his truck, beat on the door, then tried opening it myself and found it unlocked. I started yelling obscenities about his intelligence, then told him to pull over. He did. I kept my head as cool as I could while I got his info and took pictures. For his part, he knew he screwed up. He was apologetic, gave all info I asked for, and we left. I got to work, filed a police report while on a break, then at lunch I called his company. Told them I would be calling their insurance company, but I wanted to make sure their man reported the accident to them before I did, and how he caused it. We talked for a few minutes, they made their assurances, I joked about how I had just made the last payment on my car the day before so of course this happened. They again apologized, said they would make sure everything would be taken care of, and we left the call laughing.

The story of Jim and Steve is amazingly wholesome.

Story 4 was the funniest backfire I ever heard. The dude runs to mommy dearest to try and lash out at O.P and it backfires so bad. Hope the scammer got the scolding of a lifetime that he won't soon forget. Here's hoping the dude never tries that stunt again

#1: I work in the Work Health & Safety (WHS) part of my work area. I really appreciate what was implied in this story. Wow!

As a person from Laredo and this being the biggest important export city in the nation, yeah sounds about right😭 especially with the Hispanic mother, screaming in Spanish😭

story 1: Imagine being such a Cluster of Bees (PLEASE NOTE: "Cluster of Bees" ONLY refers to abusive instances of Cluster B) Boss that you have an entire DEPARTMENT as a scapegoat. The other departments were the "Golden Children". Narcissistic Bosses behave in this manner because they believe if they have a scapegoat to point to, it'll take the heat off them. Apparently this works way too often.

Story 1: She's right. If she should be fired, she should have been fired alread.

I had an assistant manager at a previous job that was just awful. They would constantly belittle and micromanage everyone, take 15-20 minutes breaks every hour out of sight of the cameras, and was just all around an awful person. Every time ANYONE filed a report to the store manager or HR, they would be met with the typical bs about how all we do is complain and that they're not going to go through with the report because we were just lying. I should add that OTHER Assistant Managers also had the same issues and results when they filed complaints too. One day I just had enough of them and some other unrelated issues and just put my two weeks in. I ran into a coworker a week after I quit and it turns out that they, along with two others quit a few days after I left. For that same manager. It's no wonder they couldn't keep people for more than a few weeks.

3rd story: Man,I want,no, gonna be Steve from now on. Man is an example to live by. Even tho I probably would had been a bit of a tease, but not too far

first story: this type boss that end up get someone killed cause they don't care about safer rule and they find cheap way to cut cost and OP boss probably didn't knew what OP job was and didn't care till that meeting and her boss big boss came and fired her

The per yard form of payment could be used to take advantage of the employees. But glad to hear that isn't the case in this situation.

I swear I've heard two of these stories. Presumably on other readers' sites.

Story 4: How did he forget to fear La Chancla?! You don't lie to your mom when she can and will beat your ass as soon as she finds out you lied!

Ugh. If I knew that the item I won had that high of a resale value I would paid up, sell it and buy another normal one for the collection. Parents like him are just bad.

That last story makes my town look bad I'm sorry to op

It sounds like Steve's employees would take a bullet for him, because he treated them well. I had some NCO's like that when I was in the Army. They'd get out of their leader meeting, and knew damn well we had some BS tasks that 'needed' to get done, so he'd take our breakfast order and run to our local Gas Station/Convienence store and grab us some hot food.
