Fired, Framed, and Feeding Frenzy: How One Teen Took Down a Creepy Boss at “Mexican Subway”
If you’ve ever worked a fast food job, you know the kitchen can be hotter than the salsa—especially when you’ve got a manager who thinks he’s the main character in a low-budget crime drama. But what happens when a teenage staffer gets framed and fired by his own boss? If you’re Redditor u/PossiblyAPodcast, you don’t just take the L—you serve up a spicy, $2,000 lesson in petty revenge that gets your nemesis canned, too.
This is the story of how one high schooler stood up to a predatory manager, got railroaded out of his job, and then cooked up the kind of chaos that would make even the saltiest ex-employee proud. Grab your guac and buckle up.
When the Burrito Boss Goes Bad
Our story begins at a certain “Mexican Subway,” where the narrator—let’s call him “the Avenger”—was grinding through high school shifts alongside friends, including one he’d known since third grade. But the real problem wasn’t the lunch rush or the endless orders of extra guac. It was Judd, the kitchen manager—a 27-year-old walking HR violation with a penchant for shouting, bragging about his “two girlfriends,” and, as it turns out, harassing the young women on staff.
Judd wasn’t just annoying—he was dangerous. The Avenger learns from coworkers about Judd’s sleazy behavior, including the kind of “walk-in fridge” horror story that would make anyone’s blood boil. Our hero, secretly a purple belt and assistant martial arts instructor (with a side of “Hawaiian Bone Crushing”—yes, really), decides enough is enough.
A Staredown in the Fridge
When Avenger catches Judd following a friend into the fridge, he intervenes—sending his friend out and confronting Judd with the kind of no-nonsense threat that would make even the boldest creep back down: “If I ever hear you saying disgusting crap to a girl ever again, I will beat the F out of you.” Not exactly corporate policy, but sometimes you need a direct approach when HR is nowhere in sight.
Naturally, Judd doesn’t take kindly to being called out. Suddenly, our narrator’s schedule is a confusing mess of last-minute changes. Twice, he’s marked absent for shifts he never knew about. The third time, the regional manager fires him—while the general manager is away filming a TV show. (Because of course he is.)
Revenge—With Extra Sour Cream
Most people would rage-quit and move on. Not our Avenger. Instead, he remembers that the store’s brand-new online ordering system is about as secure as a screen door on a submarine. With intimate knowledge of the busiest times and the fussiest menu items, he launches a campaign of culinary chaos.
Every day for a week, he logs on from grandma’s computer, placing hundreds of dollars in fake orders—each more complicated (and messy) than the last: burritos with extra sour cream and guac, hard tacos loaded with double meat, all set for impossible pickup times during peak hours. The result? Thousands of dollars in wasted food, irate customers, and staff who probably wanted to roll Judd into a tortilla and ship him off.
After a week of this edible onslaught, Judd is fired. Turns out, being the manager responsible for tossing out a car’s worth of uneaten tacos will get you axed faster than you can say “chipotle aioli.”
The Sweetest Salsa: Justice Served Cold
The Avenger never brags to friends about what happened in the fridge—he’s not in it for the credit. But as a final garnish, he mentions that his cousin may or may not have removed Judd’s tire valve stems one dark night, making it a lot harder for him to visit those “girlfriends.” (Is it legal? Maybe not. Is it funny? Absolutely.)
Why This Story Hits So Hard
What makes this tale resonate—beyond the slapstick burrito sabotage and martial arts intrigue—is the reminder that sometimes, the people who seem powerless have all the power they need. While official channels failed to protect staff, one determined (and low-key dangerous) teenager managed to get a predator out of the workplace—and off the street.
The post itself was a hit on r/PettyRevenge, earning over a thousand upvotes and plenty of applause from readers who know what it’s like to want a little payback—especially when justice feels out of reach.

Sometimes, the best way to serve up justice is with extra guac—and a side of poetic payback.
