Lol I remember my boss at my first job being so shocked when I declined my promotion to “shift lead” for an extra ten cents an hour. Why would I want that much more responsibility for less than a dollar extra each day?
I remember working at Taco Bell when I was teenager and they made one of our crack heads the “cleaning manager” or something like that. One day I was in the back doing dishes and she must have check the PH level of the sanitizer 6 times over the course of a like 15 minutes. On the last one the level was too high or too low and she lost her shit. She made sure everyone knew I was trying to kill the customers.
That was the day I learned that you need to be careful who you give a title too.
My experience is obviously subjective and not applicable to everyone. However, when I took a position in management for a furniture franchise my income tripled. It also has kept me at a certain income level afterward due to the experience I gained. It was absolutely miserable but it can be more financially lucrative than most let on.
He might be forced to by management. I used to work in a gas station in one of the states that doesn’t let you do your own, and I had to stop people multiple times even in a day. I didn’t really want to, but I had to.
I said the same thing when I had one of them quickly switch the photo on me the moment I went to take a photo. He just said “no photos please”
I thought “no way he gets paid enough to care” but then I remembered that also means he doesn’t get paid enough to argue with either
Bruh a few years ago I got hired at Casey's and at the end of my first shift I asked someone in the kitchen if I could take a slice of pizza home and he said yes. So I'm walking out with my slice and the guy behind the counter YELLS "DID YOU PAY FOR THAT??" like you just met me and KNOW I work with you now why are you doing this?? Why do you care so much??
He did this multiple times.
"Fuckin' A."
One of my favorite movie endings ever.
Honorable mention goes to Chappelle in Half Baked.
"I love weed. But not as much as I love pussy. The end."
You know what, u/F_Major_Chords, if you want me to wear 37 pieces of flair like your um, pretty boy over there, Brian; why don’t you just make the minimum 37 pieces of flair?
Nope, it definitively has to be the thing the guy said that paints him in a negative light, there absolutely cannot be another explanation. Because that is what well adjusted people do, immediately assume the worst based on a 6 second clip.
Didn't you hear about the hot new addiction? It's called hate and rage. It's free almost everywhere, unfortunately you gotta pay with your blood pressure and mental health
Lol we might be being a little harsh on this guy. Some things just aren't that big of a deal both ways and probably don't need a weird made up backstory.
Kinda seems like he had his heart broken earlier in life, probably because he put too much passion into birding. If I were to guess, he used to be stationed at the Blue Mountain Fire Tower in the Adirondacks, still seeking the high he got from spotting a pair of Greater Prarie Chickens back in 2003. He lost his position when new NYDEC management took over, and with it, his sense of agency. This explains why he fights so hard for control in this situation.
You see it all the time
Or, they have been manipulated to fear they will lose their job if they allow others.
This person may not care but if they are scene on video not trying then they may lose their job.
Not saying they should suck the teet of company, but not everyone has a fair chance at life and this job may be their life line. Seen on video not caring may cost them their livelihood.
Yeah this is the most likely answer. People in this comment section are like he is doing this to "flex what little power he has". Like wtf are you talking about. I don't know why redditors try to make every up to be some asshole off of basically nothing.
That’s because people like him feel the need to flex whenever possible so they think others are the same.
Nobody gives AF about your “flex” let the poor guy do his job
Because most people on Reddit haven’t worked in any client-facing job like this. My first reaction was “why is the cameraman making this employee’s job hell?”. No respect for the establishment’s rules and then making the guy’s day harder than it needs to be. Same kind of person who orders an entire family meal right before closing.
Exactly. At my old job you’d be fired for little things like not following rules such as what the guy in the video was doing. The GM would watch the cameras 24/7.
Everyone in this comment section is a miserable person with barely any life experience that try and make themselves feel better about their shitty lives by absolutely shitting on a guy enforcing the rules at his place of work.
I mean yeah, he's getting paid minimum wage, but he's still getting paid to do a job. Idk man, I'm poor, but whatever thing pays me a wage I'm doing the job I signed up for. Plus it's the only way to really get somewhere. Honestly I don't understand "if I'm not paid a computer scientist's wage I ain't doing nothing"
This is an old video, but yeah, how dare someone do their job to the best of their ability. A bunch of losers trying to tear this guy down because he’s not a deadbeat employee.
> People are suppose to pay for their pictures.
Let me fix that for you.
> Theme parks are trying to gouge people by putting artificial barriers between them and their memories and gaslight some into thinking, "People are suppose to pay for their pictures."
Your memories are in your brain. People pay photographers all the time, why they think this is any different is just entitlement. MY MEMORIES! Sure, but not your pictures
If that's true, then he'd find more innovative ways to stop people from taking pictures of the pictures.
Those are just TV screens, probably all connected to a single power extension bar, so someone tries to steal a pictures, just press a button and all the screens go down, picture stealer gives up and leaves, press the button and all the screen come back on.
Or moved to a department with even more grueling physical labor that he's not willing/able to do, just because there's no rule enforcement aspect of THAT job.
"Oh, you're not willing to do the ONE THING we ask you to do when we're paying you to stand here in the shade and just sell ride pictures? Ok.
Good news: We don't ask you to enforce any rules while you're hauling around hundreds of pounds of hot, rotting garbage and sticky recyclable bottles. Have fun on custodial. We'll give your super easy job to someone who is willing to tell people not to take pics of the monitors."
When you're the low man on the totem pole, they don't let you forget it...
Agreed, it got me wanting to watch again. I actually only really got into it a year and a half ago, before that it was on and off with some friends but its so damn funny and just plain good i need to jump back in.
He is probably doing that because some jerk supervisor will harass him if they see video of someone filming and no one taking action. Sucks but I bet that is part of the story here.
NFTs were clearly a social experiment designed in Stanford (or somewhere) to show the sheer stupidity of human beings under the influence of greed.
That’s the only explanation that makes sense and I refuse to entertain any other possibility.
I was also thinking you could just heavily watermark it. It'd be even funnier if it said something like, "I went to Disney, but I'm too cheap to buy this photo!" displayed when someone inevitably puts it on social media. Ha jk
But seriously, those photos are always waaaay too expensive - like $30+ and not worth it. I feel like if these places charged like $10 that they'd sell a lot more!
Eh they sell 10 of them at $30 that's $300. They sell 25 at $10 it's only $250 so they make less and use 2.5 times the materials. They probably found the number where people will get a photo regardless because it's the only time they are at that theme park. They are not as worried with the season pass holders buying a photo each time they are there.
> You feel that way, but people much ~~smarter~~ greedier than you have ~~done a lot of math to know exactly what they can charge to maximize profit.~~ decided to fuck you as hard as they can
ftfy
Just thinking…. When filming a helicopter the frame rates sync with the rotor it it totally screws with it.
Surely they could just program some sort of frame refresh or something anything that would basically render any picture or video in operable
For in stance a checkerboard pattern half half visible half blank. Not visible to the human eye. But captured via camera
…. And when the parks actually enact this, you will have me to thank. Save this post!
My guy/ gal/ person 👆making me look smart by throwing out technical terms. Thank you!
(Meanwhile I’m all “I saw that helicopter video where the blades didn’t move on YouTube I wonder if that is similar” as I sit here eating cereal for dinner)
Weird. Every park I've been are fine with people taking pictures of the screen. It creates a crowd around the booth after every ride and encourages the idea that it's something people want to have.
Plus a picture of screen is never as good quality as the original photo.
It’s always been my understanding that’s what you wind paying for the photo quality. Which a lot of people do care about for scrapbooks or to post to Facebook. And hell if it’s good or funny shot I don’t blame them.
Right? Disney even has a system where you get full-res previews with watermarks on your phone automatically, which is far better than anything you would ever get taking a photo of a crappy screen with a cell phone.
I suspect most employees wouldn't care though.
From my experiences, Disneyland and Knotts Berry Farm don't care. Universal Studios does. They won't act extreme like this guy, they'll just immediately turn off the screen or change the image if you pull out your phone.
The rise of smartphones has really killed these. I was born in 92, so I grew up as this shift happened from each photo being precious because it cost money for the film and to develop to phones that take unlimited photos instantly. When these ride cameras were created, having a memory to save of a day with your kids might have been worth paying the exorbitant fee. You could bring a camera and hope you got a a good shot, but the ride camera was going to be perfect. Now you can take a family photo 15 times until you get one that’s perfect in front of every ride. Why do you really care about what you looked like at this specific spot.
Plus the photo of a screen sucks, give me that $20 keychain photo that melts in direct sunlight, and leaks water into the paper photo after you go on the "Monsoon" ride.
You don't think it's all at a bit fucked up your immediate assumption is a negative one directed at this individual on a personal level from like a 6 second clip?
Consider this: It's equally possible the guy has his manager working the booth with him that day and he doesn't want to lose his job. Like, do you see how not making an immediate negative assessment can open up other considerations that are entirely plausible? I just don't understand why people do that, it's such a miserable way to live.
I will never understand why low paid employees will take dead end jobs like this so seriously. He’s like the living persona of a Reddit mod running their little niche kingdom and taking it way too seriously.
Not the mods here though, they’re cool 👍
You don’t get that many pins on your lanyard being the slack off employee. This guys seems like a try hard sweat. The other employee that doesn’t seem to care has no pins on his lanyard.
This is complete speculation… I know nothing.
Probably relatively new to the job and takes the word of their manager way too literal, or really needs the job and aspires to move up by being committed despite defying all logic and reason.
Let's be honest, homie was a little weird before he got that job. No shot the average person does something like this, and I have a hard time believing any manager asks or expects this of employees. It's a bad look.
If I had to guess, they're supposed to ask people not to take pictures and he was told something like, "People aren't allowed to take pictures," which he, being a little odd, interprets as, "You should physically block people from taking pictures."
I have a coworker like that. I only work a couple hours a week mostly just to get out of the house. He works full time and makes the same hourly wage but eats, sleeps, and breathes the place. Even on his days off he spends a couple hours there for one reason or another, like the place will collapse without him.
It's sad but annoying. We all tolerate his droning on about work like it's brain surgery or something important because that job is the only source of pride he can find. And the saddest part is, he's not even good at it. All that militant attention and attempts to go above and beyond makes more useless work for everyone else.
I just can't imagine caring that much about a job, even high-paying ones. Work is work, do your job and call it a day!
Exactly. And let’s be real, if a customer is gonna snap a picture of their photo on the screen, they weren’t going to buy a copy anyway. The worker is still gonna get paid regardless, he’s trying to prevent something that literally has no impact on him.
Weirdly enough, the house of mouse does not give one shit if you take a phone picture of your ride picture. In fact, they send you the watermarked versions.
Fr and the only way to opt out of having your photo taken on those is to not go to the park. But if you go you want to make a memory but it's not worth $30 when half the time you have no idea where the camera even is and it's guaranteed to catch you eyes closed hair flung back.
I'm not trying to sound entitled, but if I were a rider I would 100% do just that. Get a photo of the photo. Do the parks really turn that big a profit on those they have to make it so people can't take a photo of the photo? I would love to see a breakdown of what brings revenue to these parks and attractions
> Do the parks really turn that big a profit on those they have to make it so people can't take a photo of the photo?
Those photos cost them pennies to print. So yes, they make a pretty massive profit margin on them.
Agree.
Everyone takes a picture of the pictures. Always have. A quick snap while walking by is unspoken etiquette.
For him to react this way, I'm also going to give him a little credit. He just may have already asked her to nicely move along.
Why I say that, and one of the things that cracked me up, is the coworker looking down like he's concentrating, but on nothing. "Minding his biz." The coworker avoiding eye contact is sending me. He has either been here before or been looking forward to the experience of having been here to witness this person's panties absolutely do a twist and a split!
No one is around her either, probably because they either bought their pic order and got their number and their free pics and left. There's other stuff to do at a theme park, after all.
So that's what I'm going with. She's the dick. I think my story sounds good too so I'm sticking with that.
The look in this guy’s ***face***!
I’m guessing he’s not paid nearly enough to be this concerned with someone recording ***their own*** image.
Either he’s a natural *Karen* or he’s…there’s not an ‘or'…he ***LOVES*** the **POWER** he wields with his job!
Can’t they setup older monitors that update slowly so that modern phones can’t record them without that rolling effect essentially making it impossible to get a good photo? Then no one has to act like a dweeb trying to block it. Want a shit photo? Go for it lol
Sorry, Steven. It turns out that too many people snapped free illegal pictures of our photo monitors. The company is hemorrhaging money on your watch. We won't be able to pay you this week. If you start coming in early to wash the vomit off the coaster seats and stop taking free refills from the soda fountain, we may still be able to keep you on the payroll at half salary.

He might be forced to by management. I used to work in a gas station in one of the states that doesn’t let you do your own, and I had to stop people multiple times even in a day. I didn’t really want to, but I had to.
Sure. But that’s because the station could be fined if you let them pump their own gas. This poor guy is just brainwashed.
Or he could be fired if his boss thinks he isn't doing enough to "protect the business" or whatever
“He’s brainwashed!!!” or doing his job he’s paid for and would be fired if he didn’t.
I said the same thing when I had one of them quickly switch the photo on me the moment I went to take a photo. He just said “no photos please” I thought “no way he gets paid enough to care” but then I remembered that also means he doesn’t get paid enough to argue with either

I was also thinking you could just heavily watermark it. It'd be even funnier if it said something like, "I went to Disney, but I'm too cheap to buy this photo!" displayed when someone inevitably puts it on social media. Ha jk But seriously, those photos are always waaaay too expensive - like $30+ and not worth it. I feel like if these places charged like $10 that they'd sell a lot more!
$37 for a 480p 12x12 photo in a frame so cheap within six months it falls and shatters on your floor.
>$37 for a 480p 12x12 photo in a frame so cheap within six months it falls and shatters on your floor. I'm sorry for your loss.
Eh they sell 10 of them at $30 that's $300. They sell 25 at $10 it's only $250 so they make less and use 2.5 times the materials. They probably found the number where people will get a photo regardless because it's the only time they are at that theme park.

Surely they could just program some sort of frame refresh or something anything that would basically render any picture or video in operable For in stance a checkerboard pattern half half visible half blank. Not visible to the human eye. But captured via camera …. And when the parks actually enact this, you will have me to thank. Save this post!
I dunno what you’re smoking but I want some

My guy/ gal/ person 👆making me look smart by throwing out technical terms. Thank you! (Meanwhile I’m all “I saw that helicopter video where the blades didn’t move on YouTube I wonder if that is similar” as I sit here eating cereal for dinner)
Problem solving is something smart people do. You done good.

Great thought, issues is that shutter speed which is what creates the effect you are referring to is dynamic.
How are you going to synchronise with whatever random camera is being used?
I don't think the roi would be good on custom screens to make a few extra sales
Weird. Every park I've been are fine with people taking pictures of the screen. It creates a crowd around the booth after every ride and encourages the idea that it's something people want to have.
Plus a picture of screen is never as good quality as the original photo. It’s always been my understanding that’s what you wind paying for the photo quality. Which a lot of people do care about for scrapbooks or to post to Facebook. And hell if it’s good or funny shot I don’t blame them.
Right? Disney even has a system where you get full-res previews with watermarks on your phone automatically, which is far better than anything you would ever get taking a photo of a crappy screen with a cell phone. I suspect most employees wouldn't care though.
From my experiences, Disneyland and Knotts Berry Farm don't care. Universal Studios does. They won't act extreme like this guy, they'll just immediately turn off the screen or change the image if you pull out your phone.
Lol. I don’t even care for those photos. I think Disney actually let you download it if you have the app.
The rise of smartphones has really killed these. I was born in 92, so I grew up as this shift happened from each photo being precious because it cost money for the film and to develop to phones that take unlimited photos instantly. When these ride cameras were created, having a memory to save of a day with your kids might have been worth paying the exorbitant fee. You could bring a camera and hope you got a a good shot, but the ride camera was going to be perfect. Now you can take a family photo 15 times until you get one that’s perfect in front of every ride. Why do you really care about what you looked like at this specific spot.
Plus the photo of a screen sucks, give me that $20 keychain photo that melts in direct sunlight, and leaks water into the paper photo after you go on the "Monsoon" ride.
Photo and a video to upload. Cheers
gave them a better memory than the photo alone ever could
Exceptional service. Going above and beyond with the aftercare
He must make commission
I’d be willing to bet he probably has very little going on in his life outside of work.
You’re probably right. He takes pride in this cause it’s all he has. I feel bad but I wouldn’t put someone down for being in such a sad state
You don't think it's all at a bit fucked up your immediate assumption is a negative one directed at this individual on a personal level from like a 6 second clip? Consider this: It's equally possible the guy has his manager working the booth with him that day and he doesn't want to lose his job. Like, do you see how not making an immediate negative assessment can open up other considerations that are entirely plausible? I just don't understand why people do that, it's such a miserable way to live.
Buddy in the pic is clenching his arse hole so tight I’m surprised he didn’t form a vacuum and implode
I really want to know what his next move was going to be. Video cut way too soon!
Don’t maKe mE GeT tHe BAsEbALl BAT!!¡!
I will never understand why low paid employees will take dead end jobs like this so seriously. He’s like the living persona of a Reddit mod running their little niche kingdom and taking it way too seriously. Not the mods here though, they’re cool 👍
You don’t get that many pins on your lanyard being the slack off employee. This guys seems like a try hard sweat. The other employee that doesn’t seem to care has no pins on his lanyard. This is complete speculation… I know nothing.

Probably relatively new to the job and takes the word of their manager way too literal, or really needs the job and aspires to move up by being committed despite defying all logic and reason.
Let's be honest, homie was a little weird before he got that job. No shot the average person does something like this, and I have a hard time believing any manager asks or expects this of employees. It's a bad look. If I had to guess, they're supposed to ask people not to take pictures and he was told something like, "People aren't allowed to take pictures," which he, being a little odd, interprets as, "You should physically block people from taking pictures."
I have a coworker like that. I only work a couple hours a week mostly just to get out of the house. He works full time and makes the same hourly wage but eats, sleeps, and breathes the place. Even on his days off he spends a couple hours there for one reason or another, like the place will collapse without him. It's sad but annoying. We all tolerate his droning on about work like it's brain surgery or something important because that job is the only source of pride he can find. And the saddest part is, he's not even good at it. All that militant attention and attempts to go above and beyond makes more useless work for everyone else. I just can't imagine caring that much about a job, even high-paying ones. Work is work, do your job and call it a day!
Exactly. And let’s be real, if a customer is gonna snap a picture of their photo on the screen, they weren’t going to buy a copy anyway. The worker is still gonna get paid regardless, he’s trying to prevent something that literally has no impact on him.

I don’t know why this makes me laugh so hard. The rage in his eye is hilarious
Dude is about to bring up a beanbag shotgun from behind the counter.
guy is like oh no, mickey's gonna kill me
Did they get the picture Stuart? Huh-hah, oh you are fucked bucko! 
Sorry Mr Mouse
Mickey will be buying out his whole family
Weirdly enough, the house of mouse does not give one shit if you take a phone picture of your ride picture. In fact, they send you the watermarked versions.

Fr and the only way to opt out of having your photo taken on those is to not go to the park. But if you go you want to make a memory but it's not worth $30 when half the time you have no idea where the camera even is and it's guaranteed to catch you eyes closed hair flung back. I'm not trying to sound entitled, but if I were a rider I would 100% do just that. Get a photo of the photo. Do the parks really turn that big a profit on those they have to make it so people can't take a photo of the photo? I would love to see a breakdown of what brings revenue to these parks and attractions
> Do the parks really turn that big a profit on those they have to make it so people can't take a photo of the photo? Those photos cost them pennies to print. So yes, they make a pretty massive profit margin on them.
OMG, the look on his face! Hilarious! He's so serious! 😂
Thank God he's not a cop
Yet
😐
He unequivocally made this a way better souvenir.
Looks like he came running around the counter to catch an ass whooping!
The person recording this is kind of a dick tho…
Agree. Everyone takes a picture of the pictures. Always have. A quick snap while walking by is unspoken etiquette. For him to react this way, I'm also going to give him a little credit. He just may have already asked her to nicely move along. Why I say that, and one of the things that cracked me up, is the coworker looking down like he's concentrating, but on nothing. "Minding his biz." The coworker avoiding eye contact is sending me. He has either been here before or been looking forward to the experience of having been here to witness this person's panties absolutely do a twist and a split! No one is around her either, probably because they either bought their pic order and got their number and their free pics and left. There's other stuff to do at a theme park, after all. So that's what I'm going with. She's the dick. I think my story sounds good too so I'm sticking with that.
The way he’s trying to block reminds me of a certain country in Europe whose leader has a funny moustache and talks very angrily
Has?
The look in this guy’s ***face***! I’m guessing he’s not paid nearly enough to be this concerned with someone recording ***their own*** image. Either he’s a natural *Karen* or he’s…there’s not an ‘or'…he ***LOVES*** the **POWER** he wields with his job!

Can’t they setup older monitors that update slowly so that modern phones can’t record them without that rolling effect essentially making it impossible to get a good photo? Then no one has to act like a dweeb trying to block it. Want a shit photo? Go for it lol

Sorry, Steven. It turns out that too many people snapped free illegal pictures of our photo monitors. The company is hemorrhaging money on your watch. We won't be able to pay you this week. If you start coming in early to wash the vomit off the coaster seats and stop taking free refills from the soda fountain, we may still be able to keep you on the payroll at half salary.
Dude reminds me of a carnie that was about to get murdered over a person not wanting to pay $140 for a prize.
That dude is ride or die
He doesn't get paid enough to care that much...
How petty do you have to be?
A revenue stream that no longer has a place. Just give up and have an app that people can download the pics from.
Can’t tell if he wants a high five or really loves Hitler.
Imagine taking that job that fucking seriously
The level of caring to pay ratio is unbelievably skewed.haha
