Welcome to our slash malicious compliance where a racist douchebag gets unexpected karma.

This happened to me circa 2004. Warning, this story is not funny.

Militious compliance of a different color. Change my life for the better. Still gives me chills.

I'm working at the McDonald's drive-through, no speaker. There's two order windows in a third pickup window.

Charles is working window one. I'm working window two. Charles's black, ripped, tall,

huge, has prison tats all down his arms. Somewhere around two ounces of fat on his body.

Picture Terry Cruz with darker skin and black tats to the wrists.

Charles is equal parts charming, soft spoken, humble and ambitious. He knew where he'd been and

was determined to change his life. Probably one of the best men I'll have ever met.

Enter Green Minivan. We both take in orders at the same time and mine was long gone.

Charles's order was taking forever. Probably four minutes just taking the order before payment.

I came over to check on Charles. Before I get close, I notice he's blocking the frame of the

window so I can't hear anything. It's an awkward position for him and blatantly obvious.

He moves his hand out to me out of sight of the van and gives me the stop sign. Back off. I got it.

Time passes. The manager on duty comes out to check the issue. He waves her off. She protests.

I tell her to wait and see. Something is deeply wrong. Suddenly, Charles points the van down to

the other window and leaps into action. He slams the window, shoves passes without a word and

races to the third window. The manager and I look at each other, check for other cars. There were none.

Then follow at a distance. The manager had been running the order, but Charles took over and

personally handled every part of the order with the speed of a madman and the quality of a five-star

restaurant. He grabs a new batch of fries. He has the cook triple-check each burger. He breaks a

cardinal rule of the store and shows the van all the kids meals toys we have for personal preference.
