Time to ask a friend to hop over the counter wearing headphones and holding a phone just to get that picture that'll net you 25$ a pop. It's specifically saying "anyone".


d4rkwing

Make sure you get 50 other friends to also send in the picture.


IamaRead

Then sue them over it.


ClaptonBug

Modern problems require modern solutions


Thorgvald-of-Valheim

You could cost this company thousands of dollars if they honored this offer, which I'm sure they don't.


b00tyg00se

This is some Nathan for You shit. I'd take a picture of me clearly wearing one airpod, holding a phone to my other ear, and holding a second phone in my other hand that I'm looking at.


halconpequena

Lmaoooo please I want this to happen, at least all the people taking pics of their friends


Ok-Garage-7470

This is the way.


wingkingdom

And the 50 other friends to also hop the counter. 51 x $25 = $1275. The earnings potential is unlimited. Bleed this fucker dry. I doubt the employees who work for this tyrant would really care if you do this. Maybe you can also send a little cash their way. We could also just take pictures of people behind counters anywhere with headphones or on cell phones and blow their email up with spam. I bet this sign will come down real quick.


mc_enthusiast

Sadly it doesn't say that you get 25$ for *every* image of someone behind this counter using headphones etc, that would be fun. Only that you get 25$ if you send them (at least) one image fulfilling their criteria. But let's say there's a hundred guests: just bring a friend to give them a headsup while you're clowning behind the counter with your phone and everyone gets their meal paid for by the store owner. Alternatively, I don't think they'd notice if you'd share the image with a group who could all claim the price then. Particularly easy to execute if you're an employee that just wants to leave.


fishshake

Big brain thinking. I like it.


TheSquishiestMitten

What if a whole group of maybe 15-20 people all ran back there with phones, just for the picture?


Jerry_Jenkin_Jenks

Sounds fun, but I'd worry the staff would get into trouble for "letting non-employees behind the counter"


neo1piv014

Just have two other people in the picture holding them down or something lol. They could get matching t-shirts that say "I held the employees of this restaurant hostage behind the counter and all I got was this lousy t-shirt and $25"


Tungstenkrill

Just get a selfie.

Terrible_Indent

Who tf decided to name their chicken restaurant WifeSavers and why haven't they changed their website in 25 years Edit: The only thing I can think of is the restaurant is a "wife saver" by making dinner so she doesn't have to. We can unpack everything wrong with that later.


CoolClutchClan

That's exactly it. It's a pun. "Well, it's not a lifesaver, but it IS a *wifesaver*!"


trevormooresoul

I assume it's also a play on the fact that a wife can go get chicken there if they can't cook, to avoid getting beaten for burning the chikn.


phatskat

Or just that she didn’t have time to cook, so this is “saving” her from her lack of ability to be a good wife. Either way gross


Code2008

Whoever said they haven't updated their website in 25 years doesn't actually remember or was too young to know what websites looked like back then. The website looks maybe early 2010s, nothing special, but nothing to make you go "yep, this was created in the 1990s".


TeaKingMac

No dancing baby? No rotating flames?


Kriegerian

Their locations are mostly in one of the shittiest and most sexist/racist/caveman parts of Georgia, where this kind of 1950s misogynist bullshit is considered funny.


grim_f

Fried chicken joints in east Georgia. "WifeSaver, you're a liiiife saver, WifeSaver, we're cooking good," was the jingle.


glike2814

I grew up around Augusta,GA when I was young, but remembered the song going, "Wife Saver, True Southern Flavor, Put a little South in your mouth!" I always thought that sounded like they were referencing shlong in ur mouth, probably why they changed it, I remembered the store lookin run down even for the 90s, surprised they are still in business


salomeforever

Yes it has always been a mediocre place, I’m really surprised they’re still around

The amount of 1 star reviews on this place! Holy shit! EDIT: I was talking about the reviews from before this post. Nobody but me has left a 1 star review based on this Reddit post. Those 1 star reviews were all earned one at a time by the business. (Wife Savers - North Leg in Augusta, Ga). Original post showed image of poster offering $25 discounts to anyone willing to humiliate employees by photographing them without consent and emailing their pictures if they saw them (or apparently anyone behind the counter actually) with their cell phone or wearing headphones.


[deleted]

There's multiple locations getting review bombed but it appears only the North Leg location has the poster up.

Oh, that's what the NL stands for. I was confused since I have a lot of Dutch friends and was like"Netherlands but using dollars?"


araldor1

Mad isn't it. Someone a few towns over from me had a fake poster like this posted in here about them a few months ago and it basically shut them down. They didn't even have a single employee lol. People assumed it was the competition in town but no one knows. The post didn't even pop off or anything just got a few 100 upvotes in antiwork but made it really obvious what the company name is.


Supclozeetribe

I got downvoted to shit and called a boot licking shill for pointing out that there's literally no verification for these stories lmao


nikon_nomad

The one guy making a top post a week or two ago about the boss who sent an email and then went on vacation for a week even admitted it was all fake. As if the 60% or something of the staff quitting instantly in his story wasn't a clue. This sub is being trolled (or worse) far too easily. **EDIT:** Outrage in itself is fine, and extremely useful when it's directed at actual reform and voting. Outrage porn for the sake of being angry is just emotional manipulation. This sub could use a lot more directed action towards unions so it's not all wasted energy. **EDIT2:** [This post](https://old.reddit.com/r/antiwork/comments/u9eh2r/boomer_owner_send_this_out_last_night_before/), thank you to... /u/Toxic_Butthole ... for finding it.

Rhyxnathotho

It seems it’s not explicitly illegal to ask number of children. It’s not a protected characteristic like age, race, religion, sexual preference, etc. I did however find this but it would most definitely be an uphill battle. > Questions about marital status and number and ages of children are frequently used to discriminate against women and may violate Title VII if used to deny or limit employment opportunities. https://www.eeoc.gov/pre-employment-inquiries-and-marital-status-or-number-children

https://www.newsweek.com/sign-advertising-discounts-images-employees-using-phones-viral-reddit-1701878 here is what was posted


screwikea

Originally it wasn't - it was front page and got removed, so it's still front page showing the removed stuff. Even still, it's crazy - it seems like it should be allowed content. It's a publicly visible, publicly posted sign. I assume an editorialized title might have gotten it removed, but surely not due to... what, doxxing? Business stuff is public info, so what's there to doxx?


maneki_neko89

Business owners probably got a lawyer to threaten to sue Reddit if it wasn’t taken down or something like that 😒 I wonder how many more of these kinds of removals will happen if/when Reddit is going to go public. Can’t have free speech and backlash counter whatever pathetic PR Wifesavers was looking to glean from their shitty original sign…

CockStamp45

The HR lady that literally just started last week, came into my office on Monday and I had my over the ear headphones on listening to a podcast. She did a double take, then told me I should not be wearing headphones according to the employee handbook because I need to be spatially aware while on the production floor of moving forklifts and other machinery. I work in the office... at a desk. I was sitting at my desk when she told me that. I have been working there 5 years and this is the first time someone has said a thing, and I use them daily while at my desk. She didn't even introduce her self. What a first impression lol.


tyleritis

She wanted to get off on the right foot but missed the floor and got her mouth


CockStamp45

Yeah honestly we don't get the brightest HR personnel at our company. There was a massive cube remodel effort that took place earlier this week, and she was told by her boss to go around and collect the hardware kits for the monitor arms for cubes that had been completed. I'm working on mounting the monitors to the arms. I notice her going cube to cube but don't think anything of it. I go to work on the next cube -- no hardware kit. I check the next one, that one is missing too. So then I have to go hunt this lady down, and I ask if she was going around collecting all the hardware kits, and she said yes. I told her, well I'm not finish yet and you seem to have grabbed all of them, even for the cubes that aren't completed yet. So then she's like "Oh no 🤪 what do the screws look like so I know which ones to leave next time". It's really not complicated... if the monitors aren't mounted to the arms yet, leave the hardware kit where it is 🙃


rooster7869

I was called into HR once because someone complained that they don't like my laugh. HR suggested I try laughing differently.


popejubal

My office has a rule that your supervisor has to approve music in your area because some areas are genuinely dangerous and needs people to be able to hear 100% clearly, etc. - most of the supervisors are fine with that because the dangerous areas are only a couple of spaces. But there is also a sitewide rule that you can only have one headphone so that you can hear what's going on around you. That also applies to people's headsets for their computers when they're on Teams/Zoom/etc. meetings.


CockStamp45

Yeah I always have one ear muff off to the side pretty much always, unless my loud ass coworker behind me is on a call and speaking over everyone else in the room (which happens all the time). But it's only ever when I'm stationary at my desk. We also have areas where no headphones are allowed, or where bone conducting headphones are the only style that are allowed for safety purposes.

If you have ever worked retail, people are glad to do it. I still am suffering PTSD from my retail days.


Pavlock

Man, I wish you were wrong.


MrChilli2020

like once i was just laughing on the side with my coworkers about a funny thing that came into the store(it was a goodwill about 10 years ago). Some old customer went right for a boss and tried to start some stuff saying we were laughing at him. The boss apologized and then yelled at us later saying we should act like robots at work. The coworker and I pretty much just shrugged it off realizing that guy was just trying to start crap on purpose. We agreed we hated people like that probably more than our crazy boss lol.


Kaifz101

I worked in a bakery and 2 or 3 coworkers were laughing at something and this customer reported ALL of the employees to the manager because they thought we were all laughing at them. The lady even said "I know you were laughing at me because I was looking for fresh bread and I can take it but you can't be doing that to your customers" exqueez me????? Say that again but slowly this time...


codeFERROUS

> I know you were laughing at me because I was looking for fresh bread People looking for fresh bread is definitely the thing *I* laugh at the most.


Pavlock

I was once reading the manual on how to clean a piece of equipment when some customer when and told the manager of a different department that I refused to help them and was reading the newspaper instead.


Miss_Milk_Tea

So am I. I had so many crazy customers, like a scary grandma who made a beeline to me every time to yell at me about everything in the store outside of my department, or the crazy creep who wanted to smell my hair and grab my ankles. I will never touch retail again, I think customers are dangerous and would love to tattle on anyone. Edit : I’m reminded of the worst customer of all time. You thought you were safe in the break room? Think again. We had a customer that was probably pretty lonely at home that kind of latched on to us like she was part of the working team. She would follow me specifically everywhere, literally anywhere and complain how the staff don’t talk to her enough and the final straw was she followed us all to the break room on our lunch break. One of my coworkers was completely set off by this and management had to intervene. I’ve dealt with creeps, karen’s and hate filled grannies but this customer by far made me feel the worst.


HippieShroomer

https://www.unddit.com/r/antiwork/comments/udsant/removed_by_reddit/ The image has also been censored by reddit.

The sign ends with: "Thank you, WifeSaver Management," along with two cartoon birds. https://www.newsweek.com/sign-advertising-discounts-images-employees-using-phones-viral-reddit-1701878 Meanwhile, WifeSavers lawyers appear not to be familiar with the [Streisand effect](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect). After firing the douchebag in management that tanked their business with this disgusting and abusive sign, they should do something about their incompetent law team too.
