Crystal shop owner insists on help from customs worker, ignores giant fee: 'He wishes her a nice day and tells her the bill will be coming in the mail'

This woman found out the hard way that she got what she paid for. She just didn't know that she was paying for something in the first place!

U/OneGlassOne had an excellent tale of malicious compliance to share. They and their coworker work in a line of business that deals with commercial imports. They write that people need to fill out lots of paperwork when importing items into the country, probably in a similar way to declaring your valuables at the airport.

This woman told the original poster that she was the owner of a store that sold crystals and other trinkets, so she must've had quite a bit of stuff to declare. That also would've meant a lot of paperwork, which she seemed totally baffled by. As a business owner, you're going to have to get used to paperwork… and cost-cutting measures, just to name a couple important aspects of owning a company. This woman may be in over her head. Now she's learned another crucial life lesson: always read the fine print.

Next up, this trucker really didn't want to unload their truck, so they added a few extra zeros into their contract rate… then one day, someone called their bluff.
