Some people are masterminds at revenge.

Read how one Redditor reveals their petty revenge plan of crushing all the hard taco shells and tostadas at their previous place of employment — the grocery store. He thinks this is the perfect payback, but is it?

Read the story below to for all the details.

I crush the hard taco shells and tostadas in the store that fired me for an immutable characteristic

If you don’t want your hard taco shells and tostadas crushed, I recommend two things.

First, don’t have them out in the open where any tall child or, more aptly, any disgruntled ex-employee can crunch them all in under a minute with minimal effort.

Second, I recommend not creating any such disgruntled employees by indiscriminately firing people for immutable characteristics.

But this revenge happened for a very personal reason…

I have a lisp which has made life very unpleasant, though I’ve learned to live with it and only notice it now when some toddler on the bus points and laughs at me when I am simply minding my own business, talking on the phone.

In in-person settings, I prefer to speak only when necessary, and let my body language do some heavy lifting.

And this communication spanned to how they operated on the grocery store floor.

This was the case when I worked at the grocery store and a customer would come up to me with a question.

If they were asking where something was and I was at a distance where I could point out their desired item, that’s what I would do.

If they followed up and asked for an aisle number and that number was 10 or less, I would indicate it with my fingers.

If they didn’t leave me alone after that, then I would use my words. Usually, when they heard how difficult it is for me to get some of my words out, they seemed to understand why I communicate like this.

It was never a problem until it was…

I would say 90% of customers were unbothered or had empathy for my situation. But the 10% who were not were the types to complain to management.

When I had to have the talk with the boss man, I made it clear I wasn’t changing my ways.

I printed out literature on lisps for them to read through, which they ignored.

And the boss’ decision was shocking.

Instead, they let me go.

So every Tuesday, I go into their store and crush the hard shell tacos and tostadas.

It’s petty, but over time it will cost them more than them firing cost me.

And when corporate gives them the call and tells them their balance sheet is weak and demands an explanation, I hope they know this all could have been avoided had they just respected the lisp.

Does Reddit think this is justice served or just a waste of good product?
