Employee Amuses Himself, Delights Customers, Irritates Manager


This employee sounds like he was having a fun time not taking anything too seriously. Upon getting a request from some customers for some ice cream, and not knowing which size bowls, he made the most out of the confusion. A solid tale of malicious compliance.

So he turns to look at the vast array of bowls behind him, some sauce-sized, some entree salad-sized, and many in between. And we realize that neither of us knows what size the kids' ice cream is intended to be. So he thought, "I know what to do. l'll simply ask a manager." And he says, "hey boss, what do we put the kids' ice cream in?"

Text - Without turning around, the boss says "a fucking bowl, what do you think?" "Ya, but what size of bowl?" The boss, with his inimitable charm, tact, and grace, says "JUST FUCKING GIVE HIM A BOWL." The employee looked back at the bowls, and then I saw him get a big grin over his face. "I apologize about that, sir. I think it's probably these ones," he says, as he hands me two of the largest bowls they have in the restaurant, practically giggling with glee. My children were similarly delighte

Text - The manager walked by when we were half way through and made a noise like a startled opossum, but said no actual words. Definitely going back there. 41.2k 724 1 Share Award
