Problem Customer Demands Exact Amount of Ice Cream, Gets Less

Kudos to managers who don't put up with nonsense from customers who throw tantrums just to get their way. In this particular example, a Reddit user took to r/MaliciousCompliance to share a story from working in an ice cream shop in the 1980s. They noted that each scoop of ice cream was supposed to be exactly 0.25 pounds — so when a greedy regular boldly complained their ice cream didn't meet that mark, the manager solved the issue with a digital scale. The results? The customer had actually been overserved and saw an extra .1 pound of ice cream go down the drain simply because they thought they could shame a teenager into giving them more. This time, the shame went the other direction.

It can be nice to see frustrating customers finding themselves on the wrong ends of their own "fairness" tantrums, like this guy who asked for no ice and got less than that or this one pound cake Karen who was furious for getting what she wanted.
