This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

This just means the chefs / wait staff had to work a little harder for nothing. They're making the food and obviously not getting a tip.

The employee is still paid for producing the cooked food. The restaurant itself is not paid.

Also fuck tipping and pay people livable wages.

Robbed the kitchen of a couple minutes, robbed the host of a couple minutes, robbed the company of a couple bucks worth of food. Essentially victimless. The restaurants I worked at offered unclaimed food to staff for half price or free. Not a huge deal, essentially harmless. Half hour before close usually isn’t an inconveniently busy time.

Didn't rob the kitchen a couple minutes. They did their job. And in this case, they may get to take home extra food that they otherwise wouldn't have been able to. They literally get paid extra at the resteraunts dime

You seem to be attempting to disagree with me whilst agreeing with everything I’ve said. I can only only offer so many indicators of sarcasm!

if it makes you feel better, on Lemmy, you seem to be in the majority.

Its a referance to a greentext from yesterday

I'm just saying that isn't coming out of the pockets of the "corporate restaurant". A lot of stuff gets thrown away anyway. The real people who are "paying for" the free food are restaurant workers who want to clean up and go home.

The staff are the ones hurting from this? Give me a break

[–] drunkpostdisaster@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

No, they want free food

If its got delivery I doubt the chef's got the tips.

[–] ASeriesOfPoorChoices@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

so, no waitstaff either. Try again?

[–] Zoot@reddthat.com 3 points 5 months ago

And I still doubt the chefs get the tips, if there is an option to deliver. Atleast at the places I worked, if there a was a delivery option; tips went to drivers.
