From the vault, August 13, 2014 . . .
ACTIONS can speak louder than words.
A man was in a queue at a Burger King fast food restaurant in the US, when a mother and child lined up behind him.
“I hadn’t had the greatest of days and I had a headache coming on. It was a very long line and I was at the end of it, waiting patiently, when behind me comes this woman yapping on her cellphone with a little monster of a child. This kid was out of control, screaming, punching his mother throwing around a Gameboy whenever something didn’t go right in the game,” the man posted on reddit.
The mother allegedly did not pay the boy any attention as his tantrum got worse, yelling out: “I want a fucking pie”.
“After about 5 minutes of the line with these people behind me, I had gone from a headache to a full on migraine, but nothing was going to stop me from getting those burgers. I calmly turn and ask her nicely if she can please calm or quiet her child down. Immediately she gets up in my face telling me I can’t tell her nothing about raising her child and to mind my own business,” the man continued.
With his head pounding the man decided he could tell the woman something about raising her child and teach them a lesson.
“I then decide to ruin their day. I order every pie they have left in addition to my burgers,” the man continued.
“Turned out to be 23 pies in total, I take my order and walk towards the exit. Moments later I hear the woman yelling, what do you mean you don’t have any pies left, who bought them all?”
The man concludes: “I turn around and see the cashier pointing me out with the woman shooting me a death glare. I stand there and pull out a pie and slowly start eating as I stare back at her. She starts running towards me but can’t get to me because of other line-ups in the food court. I turn and slowly walk away.”

"I used to work at Best Buy in Geek Squad and usually
the people working the closing shifts had to clean up their departments and
such. We had just gotten a new manager who was an outside hire from Circuit
City. He was trying to be hard and flex his management powers by being a
meticulous buttwad about cleaning during closing duties and asking stuff like,
'Did you clean UNDER the registers and Windex and dust,' about every little
thing.
A buddy of mine I was working with and I started our closing
duties a little early since the store was pretty dead that night in order to be
able to leave at a reasonable hour. We pretty much wrapped up 15 minutes after
the store closed so we got the manager to do a walkthrough so we could leave.
He was looking around and everything seems to be in order until he looked
behind some signage on a shelf and runs his finger through picking up some
dust. He has this trash eating grin on his face and lets out a little weasley
laugh and says, 'Looks like you guys still have some work to do.' My buddy and
I looked at each other and we both just knew what had to be done. We cleaned
the entire department top to bottom, inside and out. Every drawer was emptied,
dusted, wiped down, brochures organized. Every computer in the back was moved
and the shelves were dusted and wiped, floors were vacuumed twice, top stock
was neatly arranged, every inch of the department was gone over with a fine
tooth comb, twice in some spots just to take longer.
10pm turned into midnight, everyone else was long gone
except for us three. He was looking weary and tired. Midnight turned into 2 am
and we were still going at it when he finally came out of the office red-eyed
and exhausted and said, 'Guys, let's go.'
'But we still haven't dusted under the counters and...'
'It's fine, let's go.' My buddy and I took our sweet time
gathering our things and clocking out. We also were both off the next day and
the manager had to be in early for a conference call so it made it all that
much better. Every time he was the closing manager after that night, he never
gave us trouble again, simply asking us if we were ready to go when the store
closed. Justice prevailed."
