'Just accept all returns': Clothing store loses hundreds of dollars after assistant manager maliciously complies

Following these orders struck this employee as odd, but they did as they were instructed. After all, what the bosses say goes, even if you think it's the silliest thing you've ever heard. 

Recently, there's been some online discourse about how small shops make enough money to stay in business. The basic premise of people's question is: How does a tiny store with just weekend foot traffic or tourist traffic manage to stay afloat? What if just a few customers come in each day? How does the place manage to pay their employees, keep the lights on, and also turn a profit? It turns out that the answer is mainly online purchases, which often allow these smaller stores to stay afloat. However, in-store buyers are still important, so it's important to stores to ensure they have a positive experience each time they enter. This worker, u/Mrst0530 really did try to do that, but it's not always up to them. 

You can check out this great malicious compliance tale below. After that, customers at restaurants can have some pretty silly requests and complaints. Just tell that to this person who said there were "Too many cherries in the cherry pie."
