Working at a drive-thru means dealing with the full range of human behavior. That means handling customers who are everything from impatient to entitled to unkind. Every so often, you'll get a generous customer, but that's about as common as an eclipse, so you might as well figure out how to talk to these wretched individuals.

Here, we have a new hire who was working her second shift ever when a group of entitled men were passing through and talking over one another while ordering. Naturally, the new hire needed to repeat a few things, which quickly led to the male Karen leading the group to make fun of her. He then demanded that he receive extra pickles with his order. The manager, who was a decent guy and who overheard the whole conversation, stepped in to stand up for his employee. He knew that the best way to do this was to enact a combination of petty revenge and malicious compliance. 

Keep scrolling below for the full story and for the best reactions from folks in the comments section. For more, check out this post about a coworker who enacted a similar kind of malicious compliance on his Karen coworker.

    Pickled Revenge This happened in the early 1990's. My ex-boyfriend, we'll call him Shane, managed a fast food establishment (the one with the arches). My friend and I were hanging out, munching on fries, just waiting for him to finish his workday.

    Back then, the drive thru employee wore a headset, and the manager also wore one so they could hear everything happening, and they could talk to staff and take orders as needed.

    The employee on the drive thru that night was newer, like her second night on the drive thru. It was almost closing time, and a car pulls up, filled with a group of guys. They were acting obnoxious, talking over

    Cue petty revenge. Shane helps prepping the order, until he gets to the burger needing "extra f*#king pickles". He dips the patty in pickle juice. He adds a HUGE stack of pickles (thicker than the patty). He then pours

One of the drivers got his hands on a product called Pure Cap and used that instead of our normal Durkee RedHot. The customer got second degree chemical burns in and around his mouth, and first degree on his hands and, later, his "swimsuit area".

    The customer was an idiot, so we were able to buy his silence with five free orders of wings. The driver was transferred to another store. ETA: That driver's name was Ronnie, and he wasn't fired because he was a legend.

    My first day working with him, he called the store at 3:45 to say he'd be late for his 4:00 shift. He had apparently lost track of time and had to put the engine back in his car. He was only ten minutes late.

    Two years later, we worked together at a different store. A new driver got robbed on a delivery, and Ronnie said, "Don't call the cops. I'll handle it." He took the new driver with him and went out looking for the guy, and they found him. Ronnie was a scrawny little

    f, but he apparently did a My Cousin Vinny, laid the guy out and robbed him. He got the new guys money back plus another $75. He gave it all the new guy.
