This customer was certain that they had been cheated in the amount of fish that they had been given. The worker was sure to count out every fish as slowly and painfully as they could... "One Fish, Two Fish, Less-Fish-For-You Fish." It turns out they had been given the incorrect amount, just not in the direction they had thought.
Redditor u/rcam_tv posted the thread to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit, sharing their story of compliance with the customer's wishes.
While we appreciate the poster's interpretation and approach, one commenter offered a different perspective that is well worth consideration.
"Did she ever say that it wasn't enough?" questioned Kirjath. "It is entirely possible that's exactly what she wanted you to do, being in a foreign country everyone is told to play exactly by the rules."
"She would hate for someone, however misguided she may think this idea is, to claim she stole some fish when she has a receipt for 12 fish but has 15."
"People traveling internationally are told to be a little bit paranoid about that, especially when they think there might be a reason to needlessly prosecute someone to be vindictive or punitive to other cultures."
It is true that this is a common piece of advice for those traveling overseas. Certain heavily trafficked tourist areas are rife with scams that seek to trick unsuspecting travelers out of their money. A common one is offering "free" services before calling over corrupt and complicit police, claiming that the tourist is refusing to pay them.
