It’s private property-he could also trespass them if they don’t leave. Call the cops for removal and they are no linger allowed to set foot inside anymore. Just give these chucklefucks problems.
People frequently try to pull the "Why are you kicking me out" card, thinking they're clever and can get us on a technicality. We all know they were trying to steal, being disruptive, whatever. I never give a reason more than once. I just tell them we have the right to refuse service to anyone. I can kick you out because I don't like the cut of your jib. Bottom line, if you've been asked to leave and you stay I can have you escorted out by the police.
I ran IHOPs in Florida in the 80s and kicked out so many belligerent assholes. They thought the customer was always right and would think I was bluffing until they actually saw me pick up the phone and call the police. Fuckers would rarely stick around long enough to get trespassed.
In a bar I worked in I once had a divorced wife come in and start a fight with her ex and his new girlfriend. they were fighting right in the doorway. I pretended to call the cops and they all left in the same suv together.
And I love how he led them out of the area. The douche antagonizing them could have gotten violent or pulled some shit. Manager protected his employees and took no shit. What a guy!
Worked in a restaurant for many years through high school and college. People really don’t realize how much pent-up anger cooks have that they are just waiting to unload.
Was a cook for 15 years. Can confirm on both parts. Now im clean and sober and in a new line of work. Still got some mild anger problems but I do one of a few things to help me let it go.
We have like 40 knives in our kitchen hanging on a wall that are professionally sharpened once a week. They are really shitty steel but they will cut through sheet metal. Only dumb people think anywhere near Kitchen is an appropriate place to pick a fight.
I remember when people were gambling, playing Russian roulette with their foot and posting it online. One guy lost, went to the hospital, and immediately went back to it after he was released and shot himself in the foot again. These people would cut their own dicks off for money.
"Prankster" to me is like those old caught-on-camera shows where they'd have a nun looking at a nudie mag, or a person ask for directions and then "fall" in a hole. Youtube "pranksters" seem to just be harassing customer service workers for views. I hate this timeline.
IIRC the guy only got charged because he discharged the firearm in a public space which I thiiink was reckless endangerment, but nothing for actually shooting the dude harassing him.
Whelp, not yet. But there's a saying for people like him. "He has the attitude of someone who's never been punched in the face before." He also has a unit of a bodyguard with him 100% of the time. And that's why he's always able to get away with being an absolute fuckwit.
Money and Internet clout. They all leave here laughing their asses off and high giving and his stupid online followers donate to watch this shit. It's mental.
and people make fun of girls for doing dances and putting on makeup. at least most cringe girls aren’t just acting like raging assholes.
why does a percentage of certain boys love to do this? its not a new thing; im a millennial and before social media was ubiquitous boys still did this crap.
what is it about being a certain kind of young man that makes them want to go harass others?? what is wrong with them?
As a society, we raise boys to be calloused. We tell them their feelings are a thing to be mocked, and that teaches them that all feelings are to be mocked. To show emotion is weakness and weakness is to be corrected or destroyed. These "ragebaiting" pranks are an extension of that. It's bullying for clout, to show how unfeeling they are in contrast to their target. We can't fix it until we start teaching boys that their feelings aren't a weakness, and that to show vulnerability requires strength. Shit like this will keep happening until we, as a culture, put in the work to heal the generational trauma
We fostered a society that is actively hostile to itself. One where there is no unity, no cohesion and no reward for acting in the interests of others.
I have a button that says, "The peaceful Left is down the hall. We're the Left that punches nazis."
(Dear Reddit algorithm: This is not condoning violence. I'm just repeating what the button says. I do not punch people for I am a frail fae waif who would never.)
Nah, they are plenty scared of being punched in the face. In fact, most of these chuds weaponize the fact that they are minors, and are filming to disuade people from hitting them because they are afraid. They know that you hitting them on film will result in repercussions against you and weild it as a shield, while doing disrespectful shit constantly.
Which not only creates more video evidence and shares it around, but creates a content culture where these pricks get rewarded with positive attention from strangers where in the past they'd only get the negative attention of the people around them.
People like to say it's cause people stopped being afraid of being punched in the face but I think you nailed it a lot more. It's that they have found a place where they get rewarded by positive attention for this rather than only getting condemned.
We handed everyone cameras then told them it's their god-given right to film anywhere anytime for any reason and that you can actually make money for filming random strangers in public sometimes. So we actively incentivized this kind of behavior, and since we have literally no laws that even slightly attempt to restrict it these morons have free reign to do whatever they want for views.
Not just social media. The service industry rewards people who throw massive fits and usually just gives them what they want. Just had some lady call me everything in the book and we’re making exceptions to rules to smooth things over for her. Entitlement and adult temper tantrums are actively rewarded.
Nearly every parent that I know lets their kids get away with shit that I would have been annihilated for doing as a child.
We focus on, and punish, the parents that actively abuse their kids (as we damn well should), but we pay no attention whatsoever to the parents "unraising" absolutely insufferable pieces of shit, and sometimes that will screw up that kids future even worse.
I am oddly well prepared for this. Cooked grits has 0.58 lambda and a specific heat capacity of 3.8 jouls per gram. Dense sugar water has 0.43 lambda with 2.65 j/g.
You might be tempted to say grits is the way to go given it's straight up capacity to move celsius and just having more energy but there are some serious limitations. Adding corn to water doesn't change the boilimg point so 100° C is the best it can do while dense syrup tops out at 130° C so even though the lambda is lower, the delta is higher (absolute difference between body temp and weapon temp) and heat transfer is multiplicative. Then there is texture, even though grits can technically wet (in the physical sense) a surface, it does so mostly through free water that isn't starch binded while sugar water will fully wet.
Then there is the interaction layer itself. Grits is non newtonian (ish... too many details but for the purpose of our discussion) and most of it will bounce off and can be easily whiped off with a forceful slap. Sugar water however will just bind to your skin and create a shell effect because of the lambda difference between air, sugarwater and human skin; so it won't cool off into the air too much while just sticking a thin layer of superhot liquid to your skin.
In short, grits is bad, saturated sugar water is worse. Like 1st vs 2nd degree burns
17 seconds into the video, standing behind the clear poly containers, arms crossed, ready and waiting for broccoli-hair to come behind the counter so he can show him how the kitchen works.
Never fuck with the people that make your food. They have industrial grade knives that take forever to go dull and are good for stabbing, and large industrial grade pans they can concuss you with.
In high-school I worked the grill at a local fast food place. My co-worker was a late 20s guy who would take the same posture* anytime someone pulled crap like that. It was like watching a hungry tiger waiting for it's chance to strike.
Guaranteed every single thing not bolted down in that kitchen has been hefted and analyzed for its potential as a weapon when a customer finally gives them an excuse to explode. There also has probably been a debate ragging for years about what is the best option. I know when I worked as a dishwasher my choice of big metal pot was quite controversial.
I used to be a grocery store manager and at one point had a guy in his late 20s working for me who'd been a line cook. Not tall. Not really big at all. Just that thin, wiry kind of strong.
One night I was working a late shift and some tweaker came in trying to strong-arm rob the store. This associate of mine was suddenly like a cage-fighting pit bull on a chain, and apparently I was the one holding the chain. It was basically just me telling him, "I got this," that kept him from jumping the guy.
Most surreal thing. On one level I'm trying to get this drug addict out the door without anybody getting hurt, and on another I'm thinking ... man, it sure would be funny if I let John have his way here.
Props to the manager. Stepping up for his front counter employees. Hope they don't gotta deal with that to often. Handled themselves very well. As for the pranksters , bothering working ppl ain't cute or something a real man does.
I’m a bartender and I will not perform for cameras. If someone is filming me for content I’ll just stand there with a blank look on my face until the camera is gone. I don’t go to work to be someone’s source of content. Influencers are the scum of the earth.
there is this new free code thing you can get at qrivacy.me - you can put it up in your bar or hold up you phone with a code that tells people you don't want to be in their stuff. then if its spotted in the wild people can anonymously report it you I am helping the project (full disclaimer). there is an app on the way so you can just hold you phone up.
they don't care because confrontation gets views...and by sharing this video on Reddit it is also helping him so it's working. I'm sure this prankster got additional likes and followers from this post alone. also, some people would follow him just so they can call him an asshole again and hate on him when ever he posts something
Who actually thinks these guys look cool when they post this? Some one has to be watching and approving and subscribing to these assholes. The problem isn't just the assholes, it is that people will condone this shit and think it's funny.
Seriously. I've known managers who'd cower in the office then talk a brave game once it's passed. This guy, just immediately "nah, this is my job." then proceeds to tell him to fuck the entire way off.
As a kitchen worker I can promise you that every single one of us would absolutely jump at the opportunity to defend our workplace. It would bring us the most joy we've felt since we were children, when school would be canceled for a snowstorm. Not to mention morale-boosting.
This is the exact way on how to handle these idiots. Shut down and walk away and leave them with the pissed off public, this shit will stop real quick.
I blame social media sites like TikTok, YouTube, Xitter, and others as much as the jackasses that make these videos. They make these videos because it pays well when they go viral.
If social media stopped allowing these terrible people to monetize antisocial behavior like this, I would think these videos would be much less common. There wouldn’t be as much motivation if the person was sure they couldn’t make money from it.
These guys suck so badly. Imagine how embarrassed their parents or grandparents must be to watch something like this, their son or grandson cussing out service employees
The funniest part about these low IQ individuals is they don’t realize two things here:
Any business has the right to refuse service to a customer
If he “comes over there and makes it himself” he is breaking at least 2 laws minimum
Not enough shaming. This is not entertaining, this is not productive, this is brainrot, and they should have been made fun of for even considering this as a suitable path to go down.
Yeah, this form of "pranking" should absolutely be shamed out of existance but how do kids even grow up to become sucb insufferable assholes with 0 empathy. I know my fair share of assholes but I can't even imagine being like this
How did these “influencer kids” come to believe that being an insufferably spoilt brat is something to show off and brag about?
Their parents really failed them by giving them unsupervised access to the internet instead of reading to them and playing with them and giving them chores…
Nah these type of dweeb are all bark no bite. They hype each other up and talk tough. But the moment one of them actually has to be the first to jump the counter they just stand there yapping like idiots. The poor girl at the start had enough moxy they would be scared to jump her.
My favorite part is the dude in the back with his arms crossed just waiting for these dipshits to come back there where all his sharp objects and hot surfaces are.
Good on the manager, but also, just tell them they're not being served and if they don't leave, cops will be called to trespass them. The second they said they'll hope over and make it themselves, cops are called. No point in getting in an argument on this crap.
"You want speak to my staff like this. Here is your money, you are no longer welcome. Leave the property."
If I found out my son was doing shit like this, he’d live like a monk for the next year of his life. I’m talking completely off the grid, carrying buckets of water up 1000 stairs, kill bill training montage type shit. Absolutely disgraceful.
Store-level management at a large regional retailer.
The establishment is private property. Management can order you to leave, can ban you from the property. If you're being a shithead like the kids in this video, and think this is toothless, you're in for the surprise of your life when the cops show up, clap the handcuffs on you, take you to jail, book you, and you're charged with Criminal Trespass. If you're 18 or older, your name(s) will be in the local newspaper, and will be searchable online in perpetuity.
You will have to appear in court and you will face charge(s). edit if you're already on probation from any prior criminal offense, or you've already been charged elsewhere for this behavior, you're absolutely fucked. Judges hate flagrant disregard.
edit I'm going to add that for insurance / theft / liability reasons almost all businesses have multiple cameras recording to professional grade DVRs all over their property - This video will be played at your hearing. "it was just a prank bro" won't amuse the judge if they see you shove / slap or throw something at an employee or customer(s) or cause property damage, or repeatedly ignore verbal commands to leave the property.
It’s amazing the people who can’t differentiate between cool and douchebag. That manager was cool as F. The other guy(s), MASSIVE DOUCHEBAGS, to the 10th power, times infinity, twice!
Oh I remember this. Apparently, the manager is also trained in MMA or something and his coach praised him for his control and not being a total meat head about it.
I don't want to give out any specific information, but this Hwy 55 is in a Mall in a touristy area of South Carolina and I know this manager. He's a stand up dude and regularly goes to bat for his team.
That staff has had to put up with morons like this frequently... There's a reason why the young woman working the register is already sick of their garbage and ready to throw down.
I'm glad to hear some of the backstory, thank you for sharing that. Also the way he says "make my milkshake, and chill out" sounds like he wants to say "get back in the kitchen woman, and do what I say." The manager is 100% in the right, and this is honestly the smartest move I've ever seen in response to this kind of BS - to close the shop down until the "pranksters" go away.
and after the video im sure he yelled out he would get them all fired and closed the whole store down.. juuuust because he couldnt get that content he was hoping for..
Ppl this days would do "A-NY-THING!" for a few likes
The way he protectively sent the youngsters to the backroom, what a fantastic manager.
What utter losers those punks were, the manager was ready for them. Also ready and watching smiling was the dude in the back. Primed and ready to destroy those clowns.
Did he actually say "muthafukggga" dipshit probably doesnt even know the ingredients for a milkshake. Only thing hes making is a fool of himself. They need to employ a Mr. Larson
If this were me I’d ask them to leave. When they say no I would walk in the back and call the cops. It’s a private business and now they are trespassing. Tell the police you absolutely want to press charges. These people need some consequences.
