This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Hmm... isn't the credit card transaction fee usually about $3?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

I have never once paid a fee for using a card to buy pizza. Is that a thing where you live?

I'm honestly on OPs side here. The fucking corporation is not going to miss that garlic or the $.50. It really is gross to be allegiant to corporations that don't give a fuck about you. I promise you can both do a good job and be respected by your customers and even direct managers without having to suck CEO weiner.

Wait until anon figures out that there's a waaaaay higher markup on soda/pop than on condiments sold for a distinct and seperate cost, and that's how a lot of franchise restaurants make a large chunk of their profits.

As in, 1,125% percent markup.

As in, if you pay $2 for a soda, it actually cost the fast food place about 0.18 cents.

Not 18 cents, 0.18 cents.

...

Also, why would an employee care about ringing up a 50 cent condiment?

... Anon has clearly never worked fast food.

Absolutely chalk full of petty vindictive tyrant bosses that will prevent a promotion, chew you out, take that 50 cents out of your pay, and if you regularly do that, fire you, and possibly even report you to the police for some kind of petty crime that boils down to 'stealing from the company'.

Wagies are often pathetic because their bosses are often evil and cruel, and they can't afford to lose the job.

Hmm in UK all domino’s come with a small garlic sauce that is on the box in a little hole.

Since I posted this I guess I'll throw in my two cents...

As a customer I kind of agree with Anon in that it's just a sauce cup, and hardly worth ringing up a whole separate transaction for

As someone who has worked for a giant souless corporation I kind of agree with the employee in that someone somewhere is keeping track of those sauce cups. They put in an allowance for what they call "shrinkage", but if enough sauce cups go unaccounted for someone from corporate will happily fire everyone in the store and replace them within 24 hours.

I think real point I'm want to get across here though is that Domino's sucks. Their pizza is gross and it gives you heartburn almost immediately, and their garlic sauce tastes like shit.

Support your local pizzaria 👍

I’m just hearing the term “wagies” for the first time, and I don’t like it. Workers who deal with obnoxious customers like Anon deserve common courtesy, not a demeaning nickname.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 weeks ago

On chans a lot of people aspire to live a neet life (not in education employment or trainin) and thus there is a dynamic where "based neet chads" look down on and mock the wagies that are forced to work.

Its a safe bet anyone using the term unironically is likely a complete goblin with no life.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Imagine being an unemployed loser referring to workers as "wagies".

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago

I guess it’s like racism and other forms of bigotry. Creating a reason to look down on others (even when, deep down, you know it’s bullshit) helps you feel less awful about your own pathetic self.

The argument over who is right, the consumer or the employee, is exactly what the companies want. If charging for every small thing was a big deal they'd see it in the totals as people stopped coming and pass the cost on some other way to provide "free" stuff. But people just gripe about it and come back, and keep blaming the stupid worker again because it's "clearly" their fault. And the company takes their money happily.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm with the employee on this one. Dude's just doing his job, it's not their fault if the policy is sucky

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Yeah if he gets caught giving them out for free, he might get fired and his perhaps only source of income might be gone. Nobody will risk that unless they are dumb.

[–] [email protected] 78 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

I agree with both sides of the argument, but lean more toward the dude who posted.

[–] [email protected] 67 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

When I worked in a restaurant we were supposed to charge for stuff like that, but I knew it would tick people off and take away from my tip so I never did. I don’t care if some multi-millionaire loses a couple fractions of a penny so I can gain several dollars in tips.

[–] [email protected] 71 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Problem is those multi-millionares are the type of assholes who would fire someone for not charging 50¢ for a stupid packet of sauce.

I'm with the customer on this. The responder is singer sort of shill who probably is responsible for decisions at their company that nickle and dime customers with hidden fees.

Fuck those deceitful bloodsuckers.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

"I might get fired if I give a paid item away for free" is a completely reasonable thing for a minimum wage worker to worry about.

I agree with the customer, of course, but let's not pretend that it's bootlicking when people have bills to pay

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I didn't see anything where the customer was suggesting the server should bypass the rules. I was talking about the Anon responder who mocked the Anon customer for bitching about the policy.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I totally misread your comment, my apologies

I agree, but feel it should be clarified that having bills to pay is not a disqualifier for bootlicking. More a motivator for it, in many cases. "Just doing my job" and all.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

I'd wager more people are worried about their loss of income than making the boss an extra 50 cents, though

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 weeks ago

Except the manager is going to notice the loss over the month and fire the worker for "stealing".

The worker is just trying to survive. The owner needs to be harassed.
