'No calls and I can't leave the floor? Okay': Video store employee abandons boss in broken elevator after she insists they follow rules without exception

Remember going to a video rental store to pick out a bunch of movies? Long before streaming services and YouTube, if you wanted a movie night, you'd head to a movie theater or a video rental store. You could rent a bunch of movies and pay for them by the day. You'd gather all your friends, watch that new movie together with a bowl of popcorn, and then return it ASAP to avoid paying too much for the privilege of renting a video. Eventually, a lot of these stores began renting video games, DVDs, CDs, and other media. It wasn't the most convenient system, but it's what we had at the time.

This person, u/QuixiQuirk, used to work at a video rental place long ago, and they have some less-than-fond memories of their supervisor there. She didn't care for the young employees and would take out her frustrations on them, which is really unfair to anyone, let alone a bunch of kids making minimum wage. However, this person got back at her, as you can read all about in the incredible story below.
