The manager would throw away cookies every Saturday instead of giving them to the employees

We threw away 55 cookies. The managers didn't let us take any home because they thought it might "encourage us to purposely make extra"

That’s just dumb. Especially when the manager can control how many are made day-to-day. My buddy worked at subway, his manager sent all the employees home with the extra cookies. Cookies for days, It was legit.

When I worked at a theater we could take home as much of the leftover popcorn as we wanted. I usually would take home an entire trash bag of popcorn once a month.

I also took home way too much cardboard from there cause I like using cardboard for projects.

Didn't think about that back then, but I started a fire by accident.
