Coworkers tend to fall between three categories — A. The 'know it all', B. The 'think's they know it all', and C. The 'don't know nothing's'. This employee was sure he was a part of Exhibit A when actually he fell poorly into category B. Not the practical type, he wanted to make everyone's life a lot more difficult, including the customer's. All for the sake of being right… which he wasn't, at all.

The waitress who had joined him on shift realized quickly there was no point in arguing with him, and instead, did what she had to do — AKA, maliciously complied. Luckily for her, her malicious compliance panned out, and all hell broke loose. Adopting the attitude of, 'Fine, we'll do it your way' got her exactly what she wanted — petty revenge and quick karma. That's what you get when you create a toxic work environment, my dude. At least she didn't have to deal with crabby customers who are under the impression that 'the customer is always right'. That would have been tiresome.
