      “I might get fired if I give a paid item away for free” is a completely reasonable thing for a minimum wage worker to worry about.

      I agree with the customer, of course, but let’s not pretend that it’s bootlicking when people have bills to pay

      Except the manager is going to notice the loss over the month and fire the worker for “stealing”.

      The worker is just trying to survive. The owner needs to be harassed.

      Okay, Karen.

      Tell me you’ve never worked a shitty “essential employee” job without telling me you’ve never had the kind of megalomaniac managers that these jobs attract.
