* [[Scare'Em Straight]]: The title "[https://notalwaysright.com/scared-straight/252634/ Scared Straight]" has this where the OP delivered this to his neighbor's son. He recommended the son for the job position, so he would have motivation to earn more in life. Said son would show up late to work, complain regularly, and not do his job. To add insult to injury, OP was driving him to and from work as a favor. When management pulled them in for a meeting after three months, the OP clarified that the employee was not ''his'' son and they recommended that the managers fire him. Management was so shocked they agreed to give the son a second chance. The son was so shocked he'd have to pay consequences that he agreed to shape up, and honored that promise. |

* [[Summon Bigger Fish]]: [https://notalwaysright.com/someones-in-very-hot-water/253085/ "Someone's in Very Hot Water"] A manager on a power trip made a teenage employee attendant work outside moving carts during a heatwave. While the employee was following these orders, they were written up for taking a break after two hours of moving carts. A gentleman noticed two hours later, ordered them to go back inside with water, and became livid when finding out the manager fired them. Turns out he was the regional director, and happened to catch the manager in the act of yelling at the teenage employee for coming back and trying to not die of heatstroke. “YOU GOT SOMETHING YOU WANT TO TELL ME, [MANAGER]?!” he bellowed at her, before screaming at her further, and ordering the teen to take a break ''now'' for thirty minutes and work in the frozen food section for the rest of their shift. The manager was suspended and later fired post-suspension since it was revealed she was working teen employees beyond Florida's mandatory limits. |

* [[They Just Don't Get It]]: In "[https://notalwaysright.com/sometimes-you-just-have-to-bear-with-them/114624/ Sometimes You Just Have To Bear With Them]", the OP dialed 911 for Animal Control after a bear broke into her basement, because per the state regulations you can only get Animal Control from emergency services. The operator kept asking questions about the "intruder" and asking for a description of a human, as OP tried to emphasize that it was a bear. When the police came, the operator hadn't conveyed that it was an Animal Control problem; OP showed them and one freaked out saying, "Oh, you meant a ''bear'' bear?" OP responded with frustration, "What kind of bear did you think I meant? [[The Bear|A big, hairy, gay guy?!]]" |
