In a refreshing twist, the story we have today teaches us that malicious compliance can be funnier than it is malicious. As a store associate, you've got to create fun for yourself. Whether you do this through chatting up customers, singing silly songs to yourself, or listening to the less-than-perfect playlist your store puts on, it's necessary that you feel human on the job just as much as you feel like an employee in the cyclical work machine.
Sometimes, what comes with fun is making a little too much noise, and then you have customers left and right complaining about the one employee who can't stop yapping and management gets involved. Haven't they heard of some fun? The customers' annoyances aside, sometimes keeping it lowkey every so often so you don't frighten customers with your volume is the right card to play. The man in this story does exactly that but makes out with a pleasant surprise.
As the OP is being told he needs to “become less loud” by a customer and his manager alike, he decides to lean into it. For the next week, he creeps up aisles, stealthily like a ninja, and ends up frightening the customers and co-workers more than when he was humming his favorite songs and yapping their ears off. This continues for a while until he decides to take a different approach. Even then, he frightens everyone in his wake. Scroll to read the rest of this hilarious tale, including some more malicious suggestions from fans of the store associate Ninja.
