    One of the things I hated the most about working as a dishwasher was throwing out perfectly good food at the end of the night

      I worked for Dominos for a bit, mostly driving, but a bit in the kitchen too. Minimum wage, and not enough hours, but I was living at my mum’s house, she didn’t demand much money from me and my needs were few, so it was a nice gig. Driving around in the evening, listening to the radio. Not bad.

      When I started there, if an order got fucked up it’d get put out the back so everyone could grab a slice if they wanted. Not a bad perk in a min-wage job.

      Then the boss decided that we were fucking them up on purpose to get free pizza, so demanded they get thrown in the bin.

      I found another job because of that. Almost never go to Dominos for pizza now. Too fucking pricey, and nowhere near good enough to justify it.

      So much waste in kitchens.

      “We can’t give it away because it’s stealing”

      “We can’t give it away because of liability”

      Hated it too. Feels wrong.

    when I worked at a grocery store (massive chain, who were horrible to their workers) I’d steal a lot of the food they would throw out at the end of the night. even if I myself couldn’t use it I always knew someone who could.

        I was more confused about “a neet” tbh. Looked it up on Urban Dictionary and wow. LOTS of ableism and reinforcement of toxic Calvinism 😬

          What? UD does get sidetracked a bit l, but NEET is actually an acronym for “Not in Education, Employment, or Training” and it is not just some made-up internet term.

            Yeah, with big derogative connotations from most of the ones using the term. Basically another way to say “bum”, which is explicitly spelled out in some of the other UD entries.

              UrbanDictionary is generally offensive in all their definitions, but even so, you skipped past the first definition with 19x as many upvotes (at 16% downvotes) to show the one with 67% downvotes

                I didn’t look at the votes, just went with a concise one that was a bit more neutral than most of the others 🤷
