I looked through various examples of it and I still don’t understand. You just blankly stare at someone? Is that what it is?

Nah I get the OC, I got shafted 3 raise cycles making minimum wage, so I just did bare minimum until I found another job.

I used to work at a chain bakery place and after I got harassed by the employees I started doing shit in view of customers that I knew they'd dislike. Throwing a bag of mac n cheese in the microwave and cutting it open right in front of them probably made them think twice about spending $8 for it.

I also gave a bunch of free stuff away whenever possible, it probably brought them more business but my managers HATED it.
