HUNGRY STAFF SCOLDED FOR TAKING FOOD THAT WAS THROWN AWAY, MANAGER “PLAY RANK” WITH HIM

A netizen shared a photo of a chat that he had with his manager who scolded him for taking some food that was thrown away.

He was questioned by his manager about it and the staff explained that it’s a huge amount of perfectly good food that is being wasted.

He added that he is struggling financially due to his new medication and was just taking some food that had already been thrown away.

To which the manager chided him and said “you’re not a manager”, adding that the discarded food is not a concern of his, before giving him his “first and only warning”.

Netizens’ comments

1. “could you imagine what the customers would think?” Yeah. That you don’t pay a livable wage.
2. “The employees there have to eat out of the trash because they aren’t paid enough.” I know I personally wouldn’t eat there.
3. I’d begin applying elsewhere as the boss treats workers as less than human, and not giving soon to be discarded food to needy workers is a red flag by itself.
4. My manager allowed us to take the food at the end of the shift meant to be thrown away. We always share… he knows we try to sell it till the last minute before closure. We all hate wastage of such good food.
   If we don’t want it, we carefully wrap them and let them in a box next to the bin. And you know what ? It doesn’t cause any problem.
   sometimes we offer it for free to last customers if they’re nice… and our business never suffer, on the contrary we make more sells and have more good reviews…

6. “Imagine our customers seeing you digging through the trash and thinking that we don’t pay our employees enough to eat.”
7. Of course if they let the staff take the food before throwing it in the trash then this “problem” would not exist in the first place.
