Whenever I’d take out the trash I just needed the manager to disable the fire alarm on the back door. They’d wait inside while I hauled bags back to the dumpster.

Except when we were cleaning out the hot box. Then the manager came out with me and watched me dump all the food. So he could make sure it all was wasted.

Luckily most of the managers also let any staff there after closing fix up a plate of the food that was still good but wouldn’t survive the night. Except one asshole who insisted it was stealing.

Stealing food they were going to throw away. What a clown world.
