35 Embarrassing Times Someone’s Parents Asked to Speak to the Manager

There’s nothing wrong with asking for the manager; sometimes you just gotta get the Big Dog™ to handle things. Take, for example, one Redditor’s mom, who demanded to speak to a higher-up at Golden Corral after becoming convinced that the buffet was pouring their own cheap sauce into A.1. bottles and passing it off as the real deal. While any sane person would either calmly point out the discrepancy or never even mention it, she was insistent on leading the charge against this sauce-swapping operation. 

She became so impassioned, in fact, that she poured the sauces side-by-side and licked the plate in front of everyone to prove her point. Though she was vindicated in the end — and showed everyone what a real A.1. lover looks like — the Great Steak Sauce Fraud of ‘06 scarred her kids for life. 

Of course, they’re not alone. Reddit is basically a support group for Children of Parents Who Have Embarrassingly Asked for the Manager, and they’ve all come forward to share their personal experiences, which include everything from a father committing burger patty assault to a dad with serious sausage roll standards.
