It’s generally a bad idea to create fake Google accounts, if you have a primary account you don’t want banned.

Is this in their TOS somewhere? I am 99.99% this isn’t enforced and there are many professional and private reasons to have multiple accounts.

Edit: I guess if you actively try to cheat the system by exploiting multiple accounts. But i thought the post was a possibly fake funny and not a suggestion/endorsment.

Be smart about it. Use a clean system unrelated to anything else. Spawn a few cheap VPS instances with smaller providers, use them as VPN endpoints. It is a bit of effort and it doesn’t scale well, but for a single purpose like this it is possible.

When managers chase arbitrary targets, they make arbitrary decisions, which can be easily manipulated.

It probably would have taken less effort to get another job at a different restaurant. Why would you even want to go back to work at a place where you think the manager is a bitch?

Waiter gets a raise. This is fiction.
