'The GM did say he didn't care how I did my job': Hotel employee automates job to just one click after being denied a raise

This boss was so stingy that he wouldn't give an employee a raise up from $10 per hour. It's been a long time since $10 per hour was a competitive rate in most industries. Lots of states in the US have implemented $15 per hour minimums, but not everyone follows these guidelines. 

It's so awkward to ask for a raise and be turned down. You have to go to your boss, politely explain all the reasons you think you deserve more money, and then really advocate for yourself. No matter how great your presentation is, you might get hit with a "There's just not room in the budget for that." Or even worse, your manager might say, "I wish I could have a raise, too!" Then you know you're really in trouble. 

This person ended up in an excellent situation, despite the low pay. He ended up doing whatever he wanted for the majority of his shift! He played video games, watched movies, and even learned a new language---all on his stingy boss's dime. 

Next up, this traveller just wanted to take a train from London to Edinburgh… but his journey took a turn, and he wound up in a taxi with strangers, driving hundreds of miles.
