This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

"I might get fired if I give a paid item away for free" is a completely reasonable thing for a minimum wage worker to worry about.
I agree with the customer, of course, but let's not pretend that it's bootlicking when people have bills to pay
I didn't see anything where the customer was suggesting the server should bypass the rules. I was talking about the Anon responder who mocked the Anon customer for bitching about the policy.
I totally misread your comment, my apologies
Thank you! No problem. I do that all the time.
I agree, but feel it should be clarified that having bills to pay is not a disqualifier for bootlicking. More a motivator for it, in many cases. "Just doing my job" and all.
I'd wager more people are worried about their loss of income than making the boss an extra 50 cents, though
