    I opened this post thinking the woman in question was some high level C suite worker. Nope she was supposedly working in fast food. This is beyond dystopian. You mean to tell me this fucker walked in a fast food place saw a toddler and an infant behind the counter, recognized that the mom must have just given birth and thought “Yup this is inspiring.” I’m honestly speechless. This might be one of the few instances I’ve ever seen where everyone responding is on the same page with their reaction and rage.

      I once went to work at a pizza place. I was the prep/opener and would be there in the morning for 2 - 3 hours before anyone else came in or their were customers. I was sick but didn’t realize it–I had been working for hours but had not yet spoken once that day. I finally opened up and tried to greet the first customer, and basically something sounding like a stepped on frog came out. This lady goes “OH MY GOD I AM GOING TO KEEP COMING BACK HERE JUST BECAUSE OF YOU!” and I’m thinking to myself that I couldn’t understand why you would want food from a sick person.

      Inspirational how that worker is forced to take their infant through a hazardous kitchen and expose them to coughing wheezing members of the public.
