'You told me today I couldn't cook without permission': Boss insists employee ask him before cooking anything, employee complies on 'the busiest night'

This boss had no idea what he was doing, and the hordes of hungry customers don't care about poor management, they just want food.

There are lots of industries where people are low-paid and treated poorly. Food service is perhaps the hardest of these. Unlike retail, your customers are guaranteed to be hungry. That means they're going to be less patient and eager to tell you about any mistakes you're making. They really don't care about the employees or anything else, because all they want is their food. 

This person's boss seemed determined to cause them to fail, as u/Prankishspace4 writes in this great malicious compliance story. They wrote that they worked there for more than three years… that's a long time to put up with a boss like that one. People in the comments found the OP's tale all too relatable, too. Scroll down to read the saga of this OP and their weirdly controlling boss, as well as the comments from people who loved the story and wanted to share their own. 

Next up, these people had some pretty funny secrets---but they'll only share them anonymously, just in case people in their real life find out about it.
