‘She threw me under the bus’: Diner worker gets shamed by manager for coffee order in front of customer, cue coffee-fueled malicious compliance

This diner worker brewed a coffee-fueled tale of malicious compliance! After being told by their manager that they were to only sell coffee in one size (12oz), they were later shamed by that very same manager in front of a customer for not using a larger size (30z) meant for soda orders. What happened next was something only a Redditor well-versed in malicious compliance could pull off. 

 

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit by u/pressurecrocker, who explained that in order to get some sweet, petty revenge, they began to use the larger soda size every single time a customer suggested that they would want something larger than the 12oz coffee cup. That meant that they were brewing a ton of free coffee, but the manager couldn't get too mad considering that the Redditor was doing exactly what the manager shamed them into doing during that earlier encounter. There's nothing better than pointing out your manager's flaws by doing exactly what they told you to do. Keep scrolling below to read the full story.
