    They’re asking about the McDonald’s example. Obviously taking a bunch of free samples means they have to make more samples. If you’re working at McDonald’s, you’re either making food for 8 hours or selling stuff for 8 hours, you’re never going to finish serving or making food.

      Why am I not getting through to you people who have no experience in food service? Yeah you are going to finish making or selling food. People/Orders come in rushes. Once the rush dies down you can prep for the next rush. Once that is done you can take a fucking break. The people who work at McDonald’s aren’t robots. Think for a goddamn second. Ever take a moment of a break at your job? They deserve that too.

        I just wanna take a moment to point out the tone in my comment vs the tone in your comments. Maybe yelling at everyone to “think for a goddamn second” while you’re making claims without backing anything up is why you’re not getting through.

        I worked at McDs.

        There are no breaks between rushes. There are bathrooms to clean. Dining room to clean. Kitchen floors to sweep. Etc etc.

        So, another 30 hugs out the door? I would give zero shits about.

        That’s a bit like saying “Don’t be a dick, don’t order food at McDonalds, the employees can’t take a break if you order. And definitely no big orders.” If the employees can’t take a break, it’s the employer’s fault, not the customer’s.

          yea, agree, this is a weird line of thought. I think if anything cheating a corpo is a green flag
