The chicken looks pretty cool too, like he’ll steal your wallet and your girl in between puffs before you even finish coughing.

Ahh how could I forget about the bored, racist, wannabe cops with nothing better to do. The perfect face to any modern company.

I highly doubt it, if the store is too busy they’ll likely either do nothing because why would they or if it’s really bad add some robots who can handle the workload so they can get rid of those pesky employees.

In the past few years almost all of the fast food places in the closest plaza to me have been working on a skeleton crew. Lines wrapped around the building, 2 miserable employees, upset customers, but the money is still coming in.

Most people can’t just leave their job, even a days wage can crush a lot of people.

That worker doesn’t want to be there, that’s likely one of 3 jobs they need to barely scrape by.

You holding them up from doing other tasks they need to do to keep a job that barely feeds them is doing nothing but making their day a little harder. It affects the company 0%. The company is faceless and doesn’t care how much you abuse the worker bees as long as they get your money.

I don’t know what the answer is aside from not patronizing the company at all, but I know that’s not it.

That’s not a bad idea. I’ll tell them I cooked it on the grill while smoking a cigar so no ones feelings get hurt.

I love cooking and baking. Whenever there’s a family get together I try to make something whether it’s a full dish or some sweet bread for desert.

None of the other guys have ever complimented me on any if it, they all compliment my wife on ‘her’ delicious food. She corrects them and they say nothing, it turns into a weird situation for some reason and it seems like they’re embarrassed to admit they like something made by a man? It’s weird

The toxic masculinity on my wife’s side is absolutely crazy and really sad.

I do something similar, I’m on a dev team of 2 and a while back we started going in once a month for a “planning day” where we spend a couple hours in person planning out our month and spend the rest of the day talking to the teams who actually use our software to get feedback and ideas. At first the owner would take me and the other dev out for lunch but we’ve turned it into a whole office thing. So usually the whole offices shuts down for about 2 hours for a nice free lunch when we come in. One day a bunch of us went out for mini golf after lunch on the bosses dime. Another month a couple of us played old Xbox games and smoked cigs in the basement while we “brainstormed”.

This is why whenever my toddler asks for Mac and cheese I give him a dry salad. Gotta build that character.

I would love for robots to take over the boring jobs like making art, I think it’s a great advancement that our overlords have engineered for us. Now we can get back to things we really enjoy like shoveling shit and suffocating in mines.

Thank god they didn’t make robots more useful for everyday life tasks, freeing up a portion of the day. I have a hard enough time deciding what to do with my free 25 minutes every week as it is.

Got to go, my mining shift at the shit factor… Never mind they made robots to mine shit now, guess I’ll go starve to death in line waiting for free bread crumbs.
