The job was going well for Reddit member Turkaram, who had been a waitress at a well-known restaurant chain for more than three years. But one day a new manager entered the business and brought a brand-new regulation with him. If the customers requested a change to the food they were ordering, he ordered the servers charge them an additional fee. It had to be on the bill, no matter how minor the alteration or how little it cost. Turkaram anticipated a negative outcome right away. The server told the manager why he thought the new policy was a bad idea but couldn’t change his mind based on his experience. Indeed, the Redditor was correct. And he didn’t miss an occasion to bring it up to his manager. He chose to penalize the server instead of removing the restriction, nevertheless.<\/p>\n

This server was compelled to adhere to a ridiculous restriction that his new manager implemented.
\nHe, therefore, devised a scheme to carry it out while subtly introducing malice.<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There were different kind of customers with different food preferences<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The substitutions were charged for<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As a server yu had to remember upcharges<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

But the substitutions were not charged<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The customer is always right policy was followed at the restaurant<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

One day a customer asks for goat cheese<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

OP doesn’t charge extra for the substitution as usual and the manager scold him about it<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

But Brad had just joined so he was new at this<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

OP told him that these are the directions from the GM<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Brad did not understand and asked OP to add upcharges<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

OP added extra charges for the new group of customers<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

They got shocked to see the upcharges and demanded to talk to the manager<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The customer had to talk with Brad<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Brad did not learn his lesson<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It continued for a month that OP kept on maliciously complying Brad<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

TLDR<\/h2>\n
