Retail worker exacts revenge on micromanager by letting innocent toddler steal from shop, setting off uncomfortable discussion with superiors

It is never simple to work in customer service. It's far worse, though, to work in customer service when your superiors are awful.

An employee of customer service recounts her frustrations in the story below. The original poster (OP) has a long history of employment in the hospitality industry. While initially everything was going along very well, things started to go south when OP began having issues with his manager. But leave it to OP to avenge in the most creative means possible. When it came time for stock reports, OP let a toddler steal from the shop, which ended up costing his manager a very awkward encounter with higher-ups.

That being said, be sure to read the story below if you're interested in learning the specifics of what transpired! When you're done, don't forget to read the account of the worker who drives his supervisors crazy by collecting high lunch bills and putting in extra hours in order to prove to them the importance of having devoted workers!
