'I just want to make sure I do my job correctly, ma'am': Video store clerk makes impatient customer wait while they scan 50 DVDs

Before streaming services existed, we had movie rental chains. Going to rent a video or DVD was a whole endeavor. In my family, we'd often do the usual Sunday morning activities, then go grocery shopping, and then stop at the video store near us to pick out a movie for that night. This was a big treat every time! Whether we picked a Disney movie or an old comedy flick, it truly was fun for the whole family. 

If they didn't go out of business before I was old enough to work there, I know I would've applied to work at a video rental store with all my friends. This person did get to experience working at one while they were in high school. They point out that one nice perk of working there was that their bosses constantly encouraged them to watch movies. That's an amazing bonus! Unfortunately, the OP did have to deal with customers like this woman, which they told all about in their malicious compliance story. 

Check out u/Bunch_of_Nerds' story below, including comments from people who enjoyed the tale. After that, this law firm just wanted some bagels for their employees---so they hired a chef for a single day.
