- 0:21Speaker 1: of money was taken out by taxes.
- 0:25Speaker 2: Doesn't even know what you're paying for.

- 1:10Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sorry, do I know you?
- 1:14Speaker 2: We haven't met. I'm on the other coast.
- 1:17Speaker 4: That's why my voice might sound far off.
- 1:21Speaker 2: Is that an echo? Echo? Echo? Just a little coast
- 1:26Speaker 2: to coast humor?
- 1:27Speaker 3: Ronnie? Yes, I'm sorry. What's what's the reason for the call?
- 1:30Speaker 4: Oh right, I'm calling to let you know that we
- 1:33Speaker 4: have to dock your check for this upcoming pay period
- 1:35Speaker 4: by one hundred and fifty dollars.
- 1:38Speaker 3: Wait what?
- 1:40Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 1:41Speaker 3: Why are you guys docking my pay one hundred and
- 1:44Speaker 3: fifty dollars? Can you help me understand that?
- 1:45Speaker 2: Oh? Absolutely, I can see.
- 1:48Speaker 4: We recently installed security cameras in the break room. So
- 1:52Speaker 4: what so we notice you fill a giant Stanley cup
- 1:56Speaker 4: with ice at least five times a day.
- 2:00Speaker 3: You guys are charging me for ice?
- 2:02Speaker 2: No, that would be ridiculous, in patty, we're not monsters.
- 2:06Speaker 3: So okay, but help me understand what the hell is
- 2:09Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty dollars for that?
- 2:11Speaker 2: Oh it's for the ice compressor burnout.
- 2:14Speaker 3: Wait that you can't put that on me. That's not
- 2:17Speaker 3: my fault.
- 2:18Speaker 4: The machine broke earlier today, and according to our records,
- 2:21Speaker 4: your over usage played a large part in that.
- 2:25Speaker 3: No. No, no, yes, yes.
- 2:28Speaker 2: So you will be paying the technician fee.
- 2:31Speaker 3: The hell I will. You guys are blaming me for
- 2:34Speaker 3: breaking the ice machine. I didn't break it, I just
- 2:37Speaker 3: used it.
- 2:37Speaker 2: We're not blaming you.
- 2:39Speaker 3: Yes you are. You're completely blaming me. What are you
- 2:42Speaker 3: talking about? No?
- 2:43Speaker 2: No, no.
- 2:43Speaker 4: See, we're assigning responsibility to you resility. That is something
- 2:49Speaker 4: we wish our employees would do on their own. Well,
- 2:51Speaker 4: sometimes I have to step in, like now.
- 2:54Speaker 3: That is not fair. One hundred and fifty bucks is
- 2:57Speaker 3: a company of ice.
- 2:58Speaker 4: Machine, Ronnie, may I remind you the machine was designed
- 3:01Speaker 4: for reasonable communal cooling, not for somebody who seems like
- 3:05Speaker 4: they're running a commercial snow cone.
- 3:07Speaker 3: Stand what is that supposed to me?
- 3:10Speaker 4: What it means is we are willing to take it
- 3:12Speaker 4: out of your paycheck in installments if that helps.
- 3:16Speaker 2: No, that's no way the language.
- 3:20Speaker 4: Okay, but since it's your first offense, I think this
- 3:22Speaker 4: is gonna make you happy, I'm going to wave the
- 3:25Speaker 4: additional fifty dollars ice misuse processing fee.
- 3:28Speaker 3: Oh how gracious of you to have misused to wave
- 3:31Speaker 3: the misuse of ice.
- 3:33Speaker 2: FeAs you are welcome.
- 3:35Speaker 3: I was being sarcastic.
- 3:37Speaker 4: Okay, Well, regardless, I still want to say thank you.
- 3:41Speaker 2: I appreciate you.
- 3:43Speaker 3: I don't appreciate you at all. What is this?
- 3:45Speaker 2: It's give and take here.
- 3:47Speaker 4: This is how relationships work, and we are always willing
- 3:50Speaker 4: to develop them at our company.
- 3:52Speaker 3: You are charging me for is not how relationships work right.
- 3:56Speaker 4: In relationships, it is about saying you're sorry when you
- 3:59Speaker 4: mess up. So that's why I'm asking you to also
- 4:02Speaker 4: write an apology letter by hand.
- 4:05Speaker 3: Are you out of your mind?
- 4:07Speaker 2: No, it's a lot more meaningful than just an email.
- 4:10Speaker 4: And then we can post it in the break room
- 4:11Speaker 4: so all your coworkers know who's responsible for.
- 4:15Speaker 3: The last time. It's not just me that uses it,
- 4:18Speaker 3: it's everyone.
- 4:20Speaker 2: Yeah, especially your friend Keith.
- 4:22Speaker 3: Huh.
- 4:22Speaker 4: He loves going to the ice machine with you getting
- 4:26Speaker 4: a little sip of water.
- 4:27Speaker 3: If anybody uses it more than me, it's Keith.
- 4:30Speaker 2: Oh, you're just gonna throw him under the bus like that. Huh.
- 4:33Speaker 3: Yes, you're trying to charge me one hundred and fifty dollars.
- 4:37Speaker 4: Why don't we just charge Keith one hundred and fifty
- 4:39Speaker 4: dollars for this prank phone call?
- 4:41Speaker 3: I mean, you may as well charge him one hundred
- 4:43Speaker 3: and fifty dollars.
- 4:44Speaker 2: Yeah, because it's a it's a prank phone call. I'm
- 4:47Speaker 2: just gonna say that part again.
