Shady Restaurant Owner Scams People For Good Reviews


That is a low move, my dude. Scamming people for good reviews is as sleazy as it gets. Just don't do that. 

1.

Text - r/ProRevenge + Join u/Takemetothedumpster • 1d 1 Restaurant scams me for fake google reviews, I burn their google reviews page/ reputation to the ground and get the media to cover it. Hi folks, First post here, thought it would definitely fit.

2.

Text - So about a month ago I applied for a sushi restaurant called Yoshi's and I got a text from their 'hiring manager,' and we chatted about my availability, location, start date, yada yada. She then asked me to write a 'review' of general japanese food to show I knew what I was talking about and could upsell customers. Fine, I write a long review and sent it to her.

3.

Text - She then sends my a tinylink url and tells me to post it there before I would be invited for an interview. I click it and what do you know? It's the google page for a whole different restaurant all the way across the city. So I read the reviews, and they had done this to 30 or so people in the last two weeks at the different locations franchised to the same crazy owner. I was pissed to say the least. This happened peak covid in my state, people are unemployed at staggering rates strugglin

4.

Text - Being unemployed, I had some time on my hands so I screenshotted our convo and posted it all over social media. They wen't from 3.4 to 1.2 in a few hours with more than 70 new reviews about their shitty behavior. I was satisfied with that, and a report to the attorney general here. But then I noticed, the owner had managed to get all the reviews removed, so at that point I went full nuclear.

5.

Text - I contacted every media outlet, reported them to every oversight board, emailed corporate about it, and reported them to google. I managed to get one of our local news outlets to cover it, and google ended up removing all of their reviews all together. Scam me and countless others during a global pandemic? I ruin your business's reputation for your shitty behavior.

People's Stories Of Their Nightmare Coworkers


Someone on AskReddit got a glorious, cringe-packed thread going about people's worst coworkers. Anyone who has ever suffered alongside an unbearable, obnoxious, and inconsiderate coworker will connect on a deep and painful level with these tales. 

1.

Text - Throwitaway9009y • 3y The day she got fired, she texted the manager that she needed to come in late. And leave early. And she wanted her old shift back (she'd been switched to a later time because she was constantly calling off or coming in late.) Also, she needed a raise. We found out that she had been posting shit about employees and the business on facebook. Where she was friends with half of the staff at aforementioned business. Pretty sure she was stealing too. 2.4k ...

Text - DasCthulhu • 3y I have a co worker who insists on talking to me like I have 0 knowledge in my field despite me actually having more experience and a higher job title than him. He also lectures people like he is their manager even if they have been there longer than him. I even listened to him "reprimand" his own supervisor! He just gave me a lecture the other day on how to install a network printer... ive been in IT for 8 years now and in a hell of a lot more industries than he has. 1.9k

Text - 84th_legislature • 3y Currently working with a person who has had a sinus infection since November 2016. That's right: wet, chunky coughs, 9 hours a day, 5 days a week, for going on 10 months. No she does not leave the team area for coughing attacks, she just retches up whatever it is and gulps it back down. 10 months of that in a quiet office. 3.3k ...

Text - neverbelieveagain • 3y I work in a dog grooming salon. My coworker "A" is a self-professed "cat person". She doesn't like our customers, she doesn't like most dogs. She complains if she's booked dogs, she complains if she isn't booked dogs. She somehow never managed to commission, and complains about that too. She never helps clean, and when I close with her she will disappear because at 8:30pm apparently she has to take a twenty minute poop in the bathroom. She claims to be allergic to m

5.

Text - She has said on more than one occasion she likes to find out people's weaknesses and pick at them. One of my coworker's lives with her in-laws as both of them have student debt they are very close to paying off. A will constantly add small digs at her like "Not that you would know, it's not like you have to pay rent or a mortgage like real adults." Everyone complains about her but our one manager has worked with her since the beginning and clearly doesn't feel comfortable talking to her,

Text - [deleted] • 3y TL;DR - martyrs, manipulation, physical aggression, and favoritism at your friendly local Starbucks I worked at a Starbucks. After 1.5 years of solid barista work, I got promoted to shift supervisor, so I had to move to a different store. I arrived on my first day there (just orientation to introduce me to everyone and take a couple online trainings), I reached out my hand to meet Maggie. The manager informed me that Maggie was their best barista and "owned the morning rush

7.

Text - I asked a coworker what Maggie's deal was. I learned the back story that the manager thinks of her as a daughter, has strong favoritism towards Maggie, assumes Maggie is the only person who can handle any task, but had refused to promote her to shift supervisor. She had been gunning for the vacant position, then I got it, so she resented me.

8.

Text - I had some empathy for Maggie at this point. A year of working with her, the empathy vanished. Sure, Maggie got a lot thrown at her, but she refused to perform her tasks well. She didn't show up for shifts if the weather was bad. Oh, also this "owning the morning shift" thing - she constantly screamed at customers or was very curt with them, then would insist that they "like being talked to that way. They know I'm kidding." On more than one occasion, a customer would come over to me and s

9.

Text - This all came to a head one day. As her supervisor, I was explaining that I really value good communication and needed her to vocally confirm drink orders. I have the exact same expectations for all other staff and for myself. She had about 5 inches and 30 pounds on me. She lunged herself at me, red-faced, screaming that she was going to hurt me if I don't stop "getting in her face." When i told the boss, she said that Maggie was the best barista in the store, she "owns the morning shift"

10.

Text - So I did that. I explained to my boss that I have journals explaining everything that happened. She said "Ok, we obviously need to discuss this. Come in tomorrow at X time and we will hear you out." I show up and Maggie walks out, looking very smug. I go in and start sharing my part with the store and district managers. They stop me and say that they aren't interested in hearing it. They've heard enough and trust Maggie's side of the story. I went home and applied to grad school programs.

Text - Blinsin • 3y His name is Tyler. I use to work at a convenience store that use to solely be open between the hours 7am and 11pm. At this point in my life I had been there for about 6 years. Well they hired Tyler because he is the son of one of the regular customers. They place him on my shift and it was easily the worst shift Iever had. Normally I work 7am to 3pm, but that day I had to stay till 5pm because I was so behind on the things I needed to do. On this day our order was larger than

12.

Text - Here is a list of the reasons I was behind on my work: Every other customer I had to stop the transaction and fix the mistakes he was making (scanning items 3-4 times without noticing). Each time I walked him through how to delete an item off the list so he could do it himself if he missed up. I would walk away to start putting order items on the shelves and look up 2 minutes later to see a line of 6 people at the register Took 45 minutes to change 6 trashcans, all of which were in a 10ft

13.

Text - Constantly had to cancel orders because he forgot to place the total they payed him and didn't understand how to give people change without seeing the change total on the screen. His way to fix this was re- ring ALL the items again and put the change in the second time. I explained each time how to count change without it and explain that you can't just re- ring items because it throws off totals in the system. had to talk to several of those customers because Tyler ended up cursing in fr

14.

Text - All of which put me two hours behind on my work. My boss ended up having to drop what he was doing and help me when Tyler left at 3 and our 2 replacements came in. edit: He was there another week. He told the boss last minute he was going on a 3 week long vacation and our boss just told him to not come back to the store. 1.1k ...

Text - gt35r • 3y Currently still a nightmare, CC's the entire office including multiple owners of the company when she corrects something I've done. My office is about 10ft from hers. Every time she does it I just think why cant you walk 10ft and come tell me or address the issue with me. Usually it's something small or extremely irrelevant. But now I just correct her or show her that it's not wrong at all and press "reply all" so they can see it. 299 •..

Text - youdownwithopp • 3y A little off topic but I noticed with these threads it is always office workers that write in them. I have worked mostly in mining and the oil industry my whole life so I am not familiar with office work. Is it just easier to tell people off and speak your mind in industry work? 282 ...

Her eyes are going and she has problems with her feet. She makes a huge deal about making sure everyone sees her take her insulin and then eats a whole giant bag of haribo, 5 bags of crisps and half a cake (i really wish I was exaggerating). It's ridiculous, we keep having to ring ambulances for her because she's eaten too much sugar. She's nearly kil

One owner hired an veteran with previous hospitality experience, an impressive resume, and really good business sense who was an absolute joy to be around. The other hired Mary-Lou. They were both set loose in the hotel and basically told to fight over the position. Whoever proved the most capable wins. Veteran candidate thinks this is dum

19.

Text - She was a small woman whose only experience was getting fired from a Christian bookstore and owning a florist shop for eleven years. She came in waving her credit card and professed that she was going to buy everything the hotel needed on her dime and the owners were going to reimburse her. She'd be gone for hours and come back with things like cat litter and scarecrows and a mother fucking picnic table, and when we tried to explain that that was really stupid, she'd just start shrieking

Text - "Why are you in the office doing the expenses when you should be the third person at a desk for a sixty- room hotel on a day where the occupancy is projected below 10%? Why isn't the front desk doing laundry now that I sent the laundry person home for no discernible reason? Why aren't you doing housekeeping's work? I'm the GM! I AM THE ONLY MANAGER! / WILL DO THE REPORTS." And she would wreck the reports and I would wait until she was gone and work overtime trying to fix them, because the

Text - In the end, she wound up fired because she spent thousands of dollars on the hotel that was out of our budget, put the rest on her card, then sent a package of receipts to one owner demanding reimbursement. Also, we all threatened to walk out. When fired, she nearly ripped out her bangs, ripped a wreath off the wall, and told me and one of my employees that we'd "get what was coming" to us. She then harassed me via text with job listings because she wanted me to be prepared for when I got

Text - izwald88 • 3y My bosses, which are all related to one another, being a family owned business, have no clue about technology. The VP is the worst. They are all decent people, but he gets angry when technology does not work for him. In this case, he got upset that his tiny netbook with 4GB of memory was slow. Upon inspection, he had 5+ tabs open, along with various Office apps and a music player. I found it very hard to explain that the little device just wasn't built for that kind of load.

Tenant Takes Revenge On Evil Landlord


Nothing melts our hearts like seeing an evil and maniacal landlord get righteously taken down by a tenant who simply had enough of their BS. It sounds like this particular landlord was a waking nightmare. Like, my dude, you cannot walk into a tenant's apartment without giving notice. There are laws in this strange existence that we call our own. 

1.

Text - r/ProRevenge u/ArizonaAvenue • 107d + Join Revenge on Evil Landlord When I was in University, l'd heard stories about horrible landlords of student housing but hadn't experienced it myself... Until third year, when it felt like we got 3 years worth of shitty landlords all in one go. It began when I heard noises in the wall behind my bed at night, I brushed it off for a while until I realised that it was an animal in the wall.

2.

Text - I told the landlords the next day, and they immediately played dumb, acting as if I was stupid in front of my housemates for suggesting that something could fit inside of a wall. That was the first alarm bell, why immediately try to embarrass me into dropping it? After explaining that I know what a cavity wall is, she asked if we'd seen anything in the kitchen (oddly specific, we didn't think about it until later). From then on her husband delt with us, we weren't aware that he was our la

3.

Text - The rat disappeared into a hole in the (completely crumbling) kitchen wall and the landlord claimed that we made it up, and that they'd never had a rodent problem (I contacted the previous tenants through facebooking names I found on letters for them that had been posted to us by mistake; the property had had a rat problem for the last 3 years before we moved in at least). I set a rat trap and caught one, took photos, and sent them to the landlord to tellI him to sort the problem out. He

4.

Text - To cut the rest of the setting the scene part of the story short; we called the council who sent a pest control team, while on their visit one of the men took my housemate to one side and told her that our landlord is evil and he is known for getting nasty. They told him that it wasn't our fault that there were rats, it was his, and he screamed in my face until he was bright red about how I was a terrible person and was trying to take him down for no reason (one of my housemates had to le

5.

Text - It was written into our contract that we had to be notified 24 hours in advance if anyone needed access to the house, which included house viewings. I began my mission; stop any other students from getting stuck in this hellhole. The house was being shown by agents so it made it fairly easy. I left the rat traps in prominent places, casually explaining why we needed them if asked, and if I felt I was being too subtle, making a fake show of "oh gosh, please ignore the rat traps! The landlo

6.

Text - The agents never said anything to me directly, and because we had to be notified I could always make sure I was home when there was a viewing (my housemates fully supported my revenge, but I was the woman of action in the house, when I'm sure l'm in the right I will do what's necessary to make things right). That was until they tried to turn up unannounced one day, not even knocking, just unlocked our front door and walked in. Luckily I was in the house, and kicked them out for not inform

7.

Text - No new tenants had signed for the house by the time we were free of that hell hole, it's been two years now though so I have no idea what happened to the rat house. ETA: Firstly, I can't believe this post got so popular! This is my first post on reddit so thank you had a lot of people asking where this was because they had similar experiences, at the risk of him seeing it (and trying to sue me again) it was in Southampton. Apparently there are a lot of similar (shitty) landlords out there

Spelling Fails That Mangled Words Up Nice


You can't sit down and make everyone spell the way you'd like them to, so you're just kind of left with seeing the mistakes where they arise and laughing about them when you can. Who knows what the cause is for all of these spelling fails. It could be public schools, sheer ignorance, aggressive autocorrect or a combination of all three.
