Speaker 1: They say quitters never win. I saw that on a
Speaker 1: cigarette add outside of my preschool the other day. Okay,
Speaker 1: Brook and Jeffrey in the morning. One guy disturbing. One
Speaker 1: guy who just quit his job is actually winning the
Speaker 1: internet today. Okay. His name's Robert Simpson, and he had
Speaker 1: a job at the British grocery store chain Tesco. After
Speaker 1: several years working in the back loading area, he finally
Speaker 1: went into his manager one day to let him know
Speaker 1: he was done. Oh god, and he's moving on wog step.
Speaker 1: I've worked at a grocery store before, and you dream
Speaker 1: of that moment for a very long time, from the
Speaker 1: second you put that smock on. Yeah. I only worked
Speaker 1: there for a year two so, I mean. His manager
Speaker 1: told him, you know, that's fine, but he would need
Speaker 1: to submit a formal resignation letter, which typical manager move like, oh,
Speaker 1: you want to quit, you have to do more work
Speaker 1: for Yes, We've got a form for that. You're like, no,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to work here. Yeah, I won't be
Speaker 1: here tomorrow. You need to apply for that. Well, Robert
Speaker 1: took that request very, very literally. His boss wanted a
Speaker 1: formal resignation. He was going to give it to him.
Speaker 1: So Robert showed up at the store the next day
Speaker 1: in a full three piece suit with a cane, carrying
Speaker 1: his very formal resignation letter in his hand. He got
Speaker 1: up and stood on a box and then proceeded to
Speaker 1: read it out loud in the middle of the store.
Speaker 1: His letter said, to whomever it may concern, I write
Speaker 1: this letter from a place of sorrow and regret. Wow,
Speaker 1: these six long, arduous years have caused me to grow
Speaker 1: quite weary. Whilst I have reveled and labored with my subordinates,
Speaker 1: my knees have grown weak, and the grease on my
Speaker 1: elbows has depleted. Oh yeah, read while shoppers are just
Speaker 1: walking by. As he was going on like do you know?
Speaker 1: Do you know where the draino is? Excuse me? And
Speaker 1: he even gave a nod towards his role of receiving deliveries, saying,
Speaker 1: this is not for every man to accept lodge packages
Speaker 1: into the back door. Nevertheless, it was my duty. Yes,
Speaker 1: expect a little bit of humor into your After that,
Speaker 1: he thanked his co workers and his manager by saying,
Speaker 1: I finished this letter with many thanks to my former comrades,
Speaker 1: and I here by submit my formal resignation and the king,
Speaker 1: except he napped his cane stepped off the box. I
Speaker 1: feel like the manager is gonna yell off with his
Speaker 1: head and once he stepped down, he finished it with
Speaker 1: a simple all right, see you later, okay character. So
Speaker 1: the next day he posted the video of his grand exit,
Speaker 1: and of course that went viral, getting hundreds of thousands
Speaker 1: of views and comments of approval from all these people,
Speaker 1: and it inspired others to share their most epic I
Speaker 1: quit stories. Yeah and so here were some of the
Speaker 1: best ones that were submitted. One says, I used to
Speaker 1: work for a tech firm and my boss told us
Speaker 1: one day that we were all going to be spending
Speaker 1: our breaks doing mandatory Zoomba classes. Zoomba a boost team morale.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, sounds awful, they say. So I immediately
Speaker 1: stood up and told her I'm taking my fat behind
Speaker 1: and I'm going home. I walked out of the meeting
Speaker 1: and then never came back. Wow, Zooma was the straw
Speaker 1: for you. I feel like jobs are like dating for me,
Speaker 1: where I've never really quit. I always get like broken up.
Speaker 1: With my first restaurant job, I got fired. I felt
Speaker 1: bad for the manager. You literally had to console me
Speaker 1: for thirty minutes. Yeah, and I still I feel like
Speaker 1: I cried enough that maybe he'ld give me the job back,
Speaker 1: but still like it's okay, so you don't have any epic.
Speaker 1: I quit stories, still stalks them on Facebook years later
Speaker 1: and likes their old photos. If you listening, I'll totally
Speaker 1: come back. I'm so sorry. Oh did you submit this
Speaker 1: next one? Because it says I used to work at Subway.
Speaker 1: It says, with this guy who absolutely hated his job, okay.
Speaker 1: They say one day, during a busy lunch shift, he
Speaker 1: got halfway through making a sandwich when the customer asked
Speaker 1: twice for him to add more Chipotle Ranch sauce. And
Speaker 1: so he looked at the customer and then over to
Speaker 1: our manager and says, well till next time, bro, And
Speaker 1: he squirts the rest of the bottle into the air
Speaker 1: above him and walks out as if fireworks. They say.
Speaker 1: He never came back, not even to pick up his
Speaker 1: final paycheck. You're right, or you're just really bad with money.
Speaker 1: This next one is actually short and sweet. It says,
Speaker 1: my boss wouldn't let me go to the bathroom one
Speaker 1: day to throw up, so I puked on her as
Speaker 1: told her, I quit then puked get on the floor
Speaker 1: next to her. That's very short. She asked for it.
Speaker 1: The bosses don't believe you. Yeah, I know, I'll prove
Speaker 1: it's because you lied twenty times. I'm learning whether it's
Speaker 1: with like Chipotle ranch sauce or with puke. You need
Speaker 1: to have some sort of water effect. Yeah. And finally,
Speaker 1: this last one says, my buddy worked at a terrible
Speaker 1: supermarket that was notorious for really awful customers. On his
Speaker 1: last day, a woman walks up to his line and
Speaker 1: tries to browbeat him into taking a bunch of expired cubans.
Speaker 1: He tells her he needs to check with the supervisor,
Speaker 1: and then slowly pulls out a jack in the box
Speaker 1: from under his till like a toy apparently, and he
Speaker 1: methodically placed it on the scanner and just starts cranking
Speaker 1: the thing so it's so creepy it is. When it
Speaker 1: finally pops, he looks her in the eye and says, yeah,
Speaker 1: he said no, So she flipped out and screamed for manager.
Speaker 1: While he was just cracking up. He took off a
Speaker 1: smock and then left. The story. Drop. You can't prepped
Speaker 1: for that, did you have it back, Yeah, like back
Speaker 1: there for months, waiting for the PE text in the seven, eight,
Speaker 1: five nine to tell us what's your most epic quitting story.
Speaker 1: Your phone taps coming up right after this
