'They literally rammed the car in front of them': Drive-thru operator watches car full of impatient bros rear-end another customer

Usually, immoral irrationality and disrespect towards others go unpunished, making those perpetrating that behavior to be more encouraged since, well, they got away with it already. Occasionally, though, the universe will react in kind and drown them in a karmic ocean of their own making. In these instances, the world feels like it is in balance, with just deserts having been served in ample portions.

Working in customer service, you'll seldom get to see this play out, with the irrational getting away with their behavior far more often than they pay the price for it, but you'll never forget the times that it happens.

  • This drive-thru operator shared an event that they witnessed that they'll never forget, watching a car full of impatient hooligans rear-end another car in an errant attempt to leave the drive-thru after overreacting to the speed of service. It all happened at the hectic drive-thru where they worked in Arizona when this car full of hooligans pulled up and immediately began becoming impatient. The location might have been of no consequence if it wasn't for a particular recreational substance that the hooligans were actively partaking in, as noted by their behavior and the smell coming from the car. Following a heated exchange with the operator, the hooligans attempted to drive off but hit the car in front of them, resulting in their near-immediate arrest.

    See the drive-thru operator's story below, as it was originally shared on Reddit's r/MaliciousCompliance subreddit community.

    Font - "Stop this right now!!" M OC and tell me what's going on Hey all. If you know me, you know that I operate a drive thru in the wild west; living the dream in Arizona. Things are hectic here at "Mendy's", but it's been admittedly a little moreso and in a very different way since a certain brand of the Devil's "Lettuce" has been legalized. Like people are straight up wandering around the valley looking like they just landed on planet Arizona, not knowing the basics of life.

It's like Idiocracy come to life, and we've got a crew of Luke Cunningham Wilsons and Maya Rudolphs, trying to make it through our day. Last night another one of these lovelies entered the drive thru, greeting with my usual greeting (1 of 2 possible) "Hi welcome to Mendy's, please hold on a second and I'll be right with you".

    Font - It's policy that we must greet the car within five seconds (preferably three) of them setting our bell off (when they drive close enough for their window to reach the speaker). So if we're busy with a previous order or orders, we'll greet and have them hold. Well this wasn't cutting it for this carful of Dax Shepards'. As soon as I told them to hold they were "Whaaaat??? What the fooooock? Naaaahhh no oo you talked to the other guy mannnn I swear to gawwwd braaah Tell me what's going on r

    Font - Wow, just fin wow. This was a peppering of words, fired at me nerf style be the entire car of people. It was hard to say who said what, but I applied my MC to all of them, spray and pray style. "Well, sir, you're currently in a drive thru of an Arizona Mendy's. By pulling your vehicle up to our speaker, you are entering into a social contract where I listen to what food you would like to order from our restaurant, and put that into our system so our amazing chefs know what to make for you

    Font - enter your order. I can only enter your order when I'm standing within reaching distance of the POS, and when I'm logged in. If I have told you to hold on, in about thirty seconds or less I will then take your order. Do you understand? Great, now hold on while I figure out what's going on with the previous order" Then they're responding "Oh no fog way all of that and I still have to wait you could have taken my order already we're outta here!"

    Font - I try to reply as I hear them peeling out "Sir..." But it was too late. They hit the car in front of them. They were so po that they forgot how stupidly hi they were. They literally rammed the car in front of them. They both had to pull forward but the car in front refused to move because they didn't want these guys taking off. It shut our drive thru down for an hour and a half. Our lobby was rockin. The kids each (all four) got arrested, three in handcuffs, one with his parents. It was a
