of stealing. A judge ruled that the cook did not intend to steal the food and awarded her $46,000.

An old boy named, I think, uh, Marx, talked about this. How the worker isn't even entitled to the fruits of their labor.

what a joke. people ate shit all the time at burger king when i worked there.

if you have a particularly hard-ass boss who thinks they're going to lay down the rules, you just make a mistake burger that no one wants, wait the 15 minutes for it to expire and then you go eat it.

Yeah I've worked food service and eating stuff was a perk of the job.
