How very Christian of them.
In a sane society this would be illegal.
In America, if you take garbage cookies that is stealing and you will be fired.
a sane society to you is different than a sane society to me
Insanity is not relative. Money and things are more important to you than people. That’s insane.
I make money. Money don’t make me.
I wish more people lived their life to that adage.
Did you down vote yourself on this comment? Lol
There are services out there that even take rejected food! This is so infuriating! Shame that owner, and shame the capitalistic system that made this all possible!
it’s chick-fil-a. the owner(s) cannot feel shame.
You know what would keep that from happening? Free food for the employees while at work.
Sounds like one of them radical Christian teachings.
Yeah, Jesus didn’t teach these kind of things. Don’t feed a man a fish, teach a man to fish.
Definitely don’t magic fish and bread out of thin air to feed thousands of people for free. That’s socialism.
The Bible literally says not to deny your workers in the field the grain which falls to the ground.
Sorry to rain on the Christian hating parade, but when I worked at CFA over 10 years ago, they did give free food to employees.
Now granted, there are plenty of other things to still parade about. Christians give lots of ammo
10 years ago? You mean back when they were publicly giving money to anti lgtbq+ organizations and bragging about it?
Correct. With my several gay coworkers. It was a job. And quite frankly, better than just about any other fast food job. Idk if you can easily work for a “moral” major corporation. Pergaos you can determine some evils to not be as bad as others, but that’s purely subjective
Are you insane? What’s next? Are you going to lock all the employees inside the Panera and supply them with weapons and organize a free for all battle royale where the winner gets health insurance?!
I used to work at Chick-fil-A in high school for about 2 years. At first we were able to take ice cream home at the end of the day since it would just be poured down the drain anyways. Same with nuggets and fries. It was so fun and rewarding to have a little extra treat. Corporate said the exact same thing, so now we had to pour the soap cleaner into the ice cream machine before emptying it so no one drinks any. It’s so sad.
Capitalism breeds innovation, this is the Innovation that capitalism brings
YOU THINK SOAP IS GONNA STOP ME?
I just had to do a swap with Domino’s because they gave me the wrong pizza. Just watched them throw the pizza in the trash. It pissed me off, they should have let me keep it. Bullshit sick corporations throwing editable food away. This picture pisses me off.
What did they say to convince you to hand it over? I’ve never heard of a restaurant that demanded the old order back before they’ll replace it. They always let you keep the mistake.
The only explanation I can come up with is that the particular Domino’s you went to has a serious Karen problem. People making up complaints just to get free food.
Not too uncommon to bring it with you to show them, an instinct to prove it’s wrong and you’re not lying. Although most places will ask you if you want to keep both, rather than just immediately tossing it.
No they forced me to do a fucking swap. Said had return the wronged pizza which I found strange because Domino’s commercial say they will fix order without returning. Fact that they took the wrong pizza and threw it in garbage in front of me pissed me off.
Damn, that’s an extra level of weird here. Like… fair enough if you need to confirm you messed up the order and aren’t getting scammed, but you don’t need to trash the dang thing, for absolutely zero profit.
I feel like the worst case of leaving the pizza with you is free advertising when you share that free bonus pizza.
I would have refused and then called corporate if they pressed the matter.
Well call corporate is not an option. You can text or email. But I called every number they had and they all pushed me online, call the store which I was already at. Or email and text. Couldn’t talk to a person. Fucking sucked.
Very common. When i worked retail we had to do this. I would make sure to always bag it in their own separate (clean) trash bag, and wouldn’t you know it i just couldn’t lift it into the dumpster. And somehow that food was always gone within a few hours before i locked up.
It seriously was fucked up how much food got ‘wasted’ every day
It’s what Jesus would have done
Manufactured scarcity. Millions of people right here in America are going without the calories to be healthy. And our government literally just burned millions of tons of USAID ment for overseas. They refused to give it to the fucking tax payers let alone donate it to needy people in Africa. Conservative beliefs is a death cult. (specifically the poor, queer, and minorities death…)
Those cookies are wrapped and sitting at the top of the trash.
The George Costanza in me says it’s okay to take them.
When i was a manager at Michael’s, I would usually be the one to “scan out” items that went past their sell-by date.
I would always put the expired candy/soda/chips in a box, write “Trash: These items are expired and are NOT to be taken home and enjoyed ;)”
Stick it in the break room in the morning, throw away the empty box about mid-day.
Back when I was in high school (and not super poor but my family couldn’t afford good quality food) I worked at a sandwich shop that would bake fresh bread everyday, one day there was a power outage and we ended up with a ton of extra bread, I walked home with a huge trash bag full of fresh baked bread, it was fanatic. Worth the weight and the hour walk home.
That’s very christian of you, chick- fil-A.
1 Timothy 5:18.
For the scripture saith, “Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn.” And, “The labourer is worthy of his reward.”
I guess the ox is worthy, but the fry cook is not.
Solution. Have the amount of cookies made everyday set by management, then take the excess home/to the food bank.
Also: track sale and production on a spreadsheet to optimize this amount. Easy stuff for a restaurant manager. No need to be this wasteful in the first place.
Easy stuff for a competent manager
Chick fil a probably has optimized all of that. Cookies are just something they can’t be 100% sure on and whip up in an instant.
Those fuckers make like twice what a McDonald’s make a day. And we know McDonald’s has optimized everything down to how to get prison labor if they can.
everyday
every day
It’s the difference between “what’s up Chuck” and a question about vomit.
Up-chuck is a hyphenate.
Fuck em, take it anyway.
And get fired for theft?
Hang the manager
Force feed them cookies
Theft or “taking out the waste”
