It’s frustrating to work in the service industry and deal with disrespectful customers.

So in this story, an employee got some good, clean revenge.

Let’s wash our hands of this mess.

But like, read about it first.

Maybe you should have read and obeyed the sign…

Shortly after Covid hit, Dollar Tree was the only store left in town with hand sanitizer.

It smelled like a mix of old tires and bad BO.

It was horrendous!

Sounds horrible. How’s it gonna be used in our petty revenge plot?

I work for a pizza chain.

We closed our lobby to customers and put a HUGE sign in the window asking customers to call us and we’d take their order over the phone or bring their existing order out to them.

Customers would literally read the sign and come right in anyway, because it couldn’t possibly be meant for them!

So, being responsible and all, I made sure to supply said hand sanitizer solely for their use.

Gross. Will the disobedient customers take the bait?

They would walk in and be like, “Yes, I’ll take a large hand.. (looks over and sees the hand sanitizer and puts some on) tossed pepperoni,” and just like 99% of us, they would sniff their hands right after putting it on.

Wonder if the foul-smelling stuff had the intended effect…

They’d gag, forget what they were doing for a second and then compose themselves long enough to realize that they are actually being told to exit the lobby and call the store with their order.

All the while, randomly sniffing their hands and gagging all over again.

What a great gag. I bet OP found a way to add insult to odor…

It was glorious!

It especially made my heart happy if they asked to use the restroom first, to obviously wash their hands, and I got to tell them no.

They were stuck with that god awful smell, and I like to think that they would not get a chance to wash it off before eating their pizza.

I smell petty revenge on this one for sure.

What do our comments say?

One person says, never sanitize under the influence.

Another user remembers sanitizing away in Margaritaville…

This commenters says, Covid was NOT all gravy, baby.

Another person experiences vicarious joy.

This comment thinks revenge can be toxic… but so can cheap hand sanitizer.

I’ll take a slice, but hold the burning rubber please.

Sometimes you have to take matters into your own hands.
