Episode Date: May 27, 2020

r/Choosingbeggars The business owner in this post has a very frustrating his problem... all of his employees want to get paid for their work! What on earth? Why are employees so selfish?! If they were good people then they would happily work for free for the betterment of the company. After all, work is all about getting a sense of pride and accomplishment, not about getting money. This poor business owner is being exploited by his evil, greedy employees who want to be paid for their hard work!

Today we're covering R-slash choosing beggars. And now a quick word for my sponsors.

According to a Cape Cod manager for Stop and Shop, someone bought $5,000 worth of gift cards in order to pay for customer groceries between 6 and shop. Someone bought $5,000 worth of gift cards in order to pay for customer groceries between 6 and 7.30 a.m. According to the grocery store, that's when staff hold special hours for seniors and those who are considered immunocompromised. That's nice and all, but young people need to eat too LUL. Our next choosing beggar post comes from a cross post from R-slash, Am I the butthole? Am I the butthole for buying myself a nice guitar and giving my friend who wanted to learn my hand-me-down.

So I've been playing guitar for almost 9 years and I've gotten pretty good. I figured I would save up some money and treat myself to a nice one after using 150 bucks Craigslist by for a while. So I bought myself a $1,300 Epiphone Jumbo-sized acoustic electric. It has an electric tuner and stuff and had two amp ports but it's still acoustic. My friend's been wanting to learn for a while and he's just been using the one I had to teach him in practice and stuff. When he found out I spent a large amount of money on a really nice guitar, he was really

angry, saying, I should have spent the money on two mid-range guitars for the both of us and was selfish for thinking of me and not him. Am I the butthole here? Down in the comments, Avocado with Tomato sums up my thoughts quite well. Hey, at least he did end up getting two things out of his savings. A guitar for $1,300. Realizing your friend is an entitled butthole who is not really a good friend, priceless. Yeah, OP here is so not the butthole that I can't even figure out why he made the posts

in the first place. In what universe is it the douchey thing to do to spend your hard-earned money on yourself? On this next post, OP helped her friend move to a new apartment, and the next morning she woke up to her friend blowing up her phone with six missed calls and this text message exchange. When are you wanting to help clean? OP, wake up. I'm pissed AF right now. You said you were gonna help.

Okay, let's get a few things straightened out. I didn't sleep the day before. I spent my time from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. helping you move everything. I didn't get to sleep until about 5 this morning, so god forbid I've been sleeping. Let me sleep. I need it. I'm trying to finish school, which I'm still a little behind on. I chose this been my Friday helping you move everything. Stressing out on fitting everything into cars using my gas to go back and forth, stressing my body, which is in terrible health by the way, to move your stuff.

I said I'd help today, but for Fsake, it's not going to be at 10am, especially if you know that I haven't slept. But at this point, I've done all of this just to wake up to you spamming my phone and telling me that you're mad. Are you serious? I'm willing to do a lot for you and I have, but I've done all of this stuff without even a thank you from you or mom. And then waking up to that, I'm kinda over it to be honest. And then, a day later, this choosing beggar

sends OP this. Why didn't you come over yesterday? Are you joking? No, this isn't a joke, OP. I told you that I needed help cleaning and you stood me up. You never responded to my text, so yeah, I didn't come over. I took yesterday to finish school and rest. LMAO, I'm not going to respond to your selfish text. How dare you! You told me you'd help. I don't get why your school is more important than helping me move like you said you would.

Yeah, I did. I originally said maybe and then I said I'd be over later. You told me you had until 11 p.m. to finish and I was sleeping as I told you I didn't sleep the night before. Selfish? Are you serious? I did help you move. Offering to help clean your old apartment cake with dog feces was me being incredibly nice. And yeah, my school does come before you're moving. It's not my responsibility to move your junk, but I was nice and helped you anyways. You need a reality check, dude. It's not my fault the dogs pottyed everywhere.

It's gross and I can't do it by myself. Your boyfriend had to help me because you're lazy but ditched me, don't bother anymore. Yes, my boyfriend stepped in to take my place when I left at 10pm because he's an absolute sweetheart and wanted me to go home and rest because he knows my health is bad. I assure you, he didn't want to be there at all and was on the phone the whole time with me. Oh my god. You lazy bum. You sent your boyfriend to do the work for you while you sat in bed on your phone. Disgusting. Don't come over anytime soon.

He offered and was there for an hour picking up spare furniture. He drove me home because I didn't want to leave him with you. My health is bad. I don't know how else I can tell you that. Of course I came home in late in the mid. Look, choosing beggar, I've done a lot to help you out, but because of how this conversation is going, I think I'm going to have to take a break from this friendship. I don't need this right now and it's stressing me out. I'll pray for you and your dogs and cats. Don't bring your stupid religion into this. Your boyfriend was just fine.

You lied to me and said he didn't like me, but he obviously does. I'm gonna call your boyfriend and tell him about how lazy you are and how he deserves better. How dare you judge my parenting. We're not having friends anymore! My religion is what got me through Friday at low. Trust me, my boyfriend doesn't like you. He stepped in for my health, but go ahead Karen, call him. He's next to me in bed helping me eat dinner and playing video games.

Thanks for the karma fam. Wait, so this Choosing Beger has dogs and cats, and they defecated all over the floor, and she says it's not her fault? Is she actually blaming her pets for not walking themselves? If we're going on a date and you don't offer to pay for babysitting in a to-go box meal for my child, we're not going. Why should my baby daddy or I have to come out of her own pocket when you're the one asking me out? The whole date should already be planned out, including all extra

fees. Man, I got a handed tour, at least she shows all of her red flags before the first date. Normally, you got to wait until like date 5 or 6 before this level of crazy start showing its head. This next post was posted at Facebook by a local cupcake shop. I would love to get free cupcakes to every graduating senior at every high school, but this is not possible for me as a small business that's been closed for two months. I offered a free cupcake to blank high school seniors in a high school of my choice. As the owner, I took a cleaning job at night to be able to provide this. I decided to do this out of the kindness of my heart. Rude threatening emails or comments will not be

responded to and will be deleted. If you want to take your business to a different bakery, that's your choice. Can you honestly imagine the amount of entitlement you'd need to send a death threat to a small business owner over a $3 cupcake. And now a quick word for my sponsors. These side marios all you can eat is all you can munch a soup, salad, and garlic home all. Oh my God, me. And I move on up in.

This next post is a cross-post into our slash-choosing beggars from our slash Am I the Butthole. Am I the Butthole for asking my staff to work for free to raise

money for the company from which they've been laid off? Oh my god! I'm the artistic director for a small dinner theater company which is privately owned and operated. I've worked for this company for almost 25 years coming back in between contracts. I'm a performer as well having been on Broadway. Because of the pandemic, we've been unable to put on our season. We had to lay off all the staff, performers who are also the servers, kitchen staff, front of house staff, even myself, the operations manager, and general manager. The owners told me that the business was on the verge of collapse, even with the available government funding, and they needed an injection of cash to get through the next few months. I sent an email to all my staff letting them know that

the owners were in dire financial straits because of the pandemic. In my email, I suggested we all volunteer our time and talent and put on a virtual talent show to raise money with a GoFundMe for the owners. I received some really strong feedback from some of the performers that they did not want to participate. Also, the company received negative feedback regarding where the donations would go, seeing as this company is not a registered charity. Some members of the public were strongly against the money going to the owners, and instead be split among the out-of-work staff. Am I the butthole for coming up with this idea and asking my staff to do it? Opie, what I want to know is, why are you bending over backwards to get your boss as money?

So what if they're in dire financial straits? What about all the people they fired as if they're not in dire financial straits as well? You get 5 out of 5 buttholes, if a business can't afford to pay their employees, then that business shouldn't exist. Period. Getting rid of a squirrel and bird feeder for free. You load an haul, PME. Why do people sell things and not help load? Not very good customer service. Sorry, at 72 years old, I don't live very much. And then another person replies, really, someone offered to give you something for free, but you can't go get it yourself? Why should he throw

us back out to give you something? And down in the comments of this story, Rico Dread has his own story. I gave away a nearly two-seat leather sofa on freestyle on the other standing that whoever wanted it had to collect it. The woman who said she wanted it first turned up a little while later in a small hatchback. I said there was no way it would fit in her car. She looked at my car, a large estate car, and said it would fit in that, so I could deliver. It wouldn't have fitted, and I said that, and even if it could fit, which it definitely wouldn't, that wasn't the deal.

She got an attitude and drove away. I was annoyed, but contacted someone else who had contacted me on Freestyle and asked if they still wanted it. The woman was really happy to have it, especially as she thought she'd missed out, and turned up with her dad and a van an hour later and took it away. Her dad tried to give me some money for it as she was broke, but I said I didn't want any money and was happy that she'd be able to make use of it. About three or four days later, having had no contact whatsoever from the first woman, she turned up at about 10pm with some bloke in a van, saying she'd have the sofa.

I told her that I'd given it to someone else, and asked if she was effing mental or something, and she went ballistic and said that I owed her a sofa. The two-seater was a set with a three-seater, which we've kept, and she said she'd take the three-seater instead. set with a three-seater, which we've kept, and she said she'd take the three-seater instead. I told her to get screwed. The bloke, to his credit, had the good sense to look embarrassed and went and sat in the band while this mad woman ranted and raved at me, about how I'd wasted her time and she wasn't leaving until she got a sofa.

I, once again, told her to get screwed. Eventually, she left swearing that she'd get the police trading standards or anyone who would listen onto me. I never heard from her again. A day or two later, the woman who had taken the sofa turned up and gave me a box of beers and some flowers from my wife as a thank you. And told us how the sofa was so nice.

And as she and her kids had just gotten their first home ever, she'd never have been able to afford to buy this thing otherwise. Hey, I really like your stuff. Could you make something for me? Hey friend, yes I could make a custom face mask. Oh cool, could I get one with mint, green, and black for an adult, a pink and blue paisley adult, a white one with a milky glaze for a child, and a lime green and silver stripe

on for a child. Thanks. Okay, let me get back to you on the price. It should be cheap. What? I thought you were making these for free. I only charge for the fabric, not my time. It's about a buck fifty per mask. But I thought it was free.

It's six dollars in total. Take it or leave it. Can you do $3? No. You're being really rude, you know. I have two kids to feed. Ma'am, I have three kids, one with a very expensive medical condition. We spend $1,000 in a week just covering the medical bills.

Whatever, you're so rude. You're mask suck. Ma'am, please stop contacting me unless you're willing to pay for my services. My binmo is blank. Please, my kids are dying. Honey, my child is dying. Don't play that BS choosing Beggar line on me. That's not the first time I've heard that today.

F you! When the choosing Beggar said that our kids were dying, Opie sure just been like, You would let your children die over $3? What kind of mother are you? Hi, I'm interested in the chairs if available. Hello, yes they are. I'm here all day, all week, available anytime for pickup if interested. Okay, is it the whole set with the bench and table also?

It's just the chairs. I'm selling the bench separately for 25 bucks though if you're interested. Okay, I'm looking for black chairs and since these are not the right color and also the benches are included, I can offer 80 bucks. I'm pretty firm on the price. I've already had a half dozen people message me in the last 10 minutes since it's been listed. I'll consider lowering the price after a few days if it doesn't sell. Okay, but do you understand with them being the wrong color why I would offer lower? I can pay 120 if you include the binge and also deliver. Let me know. Please let me know, thanks. Again, I'll consider lowering the price down the road. I have a lot of interest at full

price despite the color. I'll let you know. But I'm looking for black chairs, not the color you have, so it's understandable to offer less. They aren't what I need. Just like a defective product would be marked down. Do you understand? I see you read it, but not replied. Last chance, 80 bucks for all plus delivery. Take it or leave it.

I can come right now, cash in hand. Wow, you sold them. I was ready to buy them. Wow! High-blank. As I mentioned, I had several interested buyers. I'm sorry it didn't work out. I hope you find the right color chair. Good luck. I have to say, you honestly did wrong by me. We were in a conversation about a sale and in business when you're in negotiations, you don't sell to other people. It's dishonest and wrong. Now, because you weren't fair, I missed out on chairs that I need. And now

I'm without chairs for my table, because you went and sold the behind my back. I can see when you read and don't respond, Facebook monitors sellers who don't respond quickly to their buyers. It's very rude to just ignore me after what you did. Do you even feel bad leaving me in a tight spot like this? How report you as a bad seller for doing this and then ignoring me. Hope it was worth it. Edit Wow 7 upvotes, thanks guys! Edit 2, no way, 17 upvotes?

Thank you all so much for taking the time to like this. I'd love it if someone could give my post an award though. Edit 3, still no award. Thanks for the 23 upvotes though, I guess. Edit 4, who's disliking this? My karma went down, not cool, angry face. Selling facial masks. We've got about 50 ready for purchase.

Each has an opening for a filter option, five bucks each, meeting green hills. What a shame to charge so much. I don't think $5 is unreasonable. to charge so much. following me and dropping me a 5-star review on Apple.
