Probably more effective to give to a food pantry to avoid the corporate profit cut, but the thought is very nice.

[-] IMongoose@lemmy.world 121 points 6 days ago

Many restaurants let people pay when they pick up or get the food delivered. So doing this costs the restaurant money, not OP. That's why he's spoofing his info too, if he paid they probably wouldn't care enough to ban the number.

I am not quite sure what the joke is about, could you explain? Those helmets seem to be used for preventing injuries in case of health conditions like epilepsy, but I can't make a connection at all

Three birds with one stone is pretty good. Feed poor worker, screw corpos, fuck over exwife.

What is corporate profit cut?

[-] workerONE@lemmy.world 14 points 6 days ago

The restaurant is making food and it cuts into their profit

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 19 points 6 days ago

But it has a happy employee and they work harder, making the restaurant more money.

Yeeah, so, don't most restaurants just throw out the uneaten food nowadays, out of concern for getting sued over hygiene issues?

[-] FeelThePower@lemmy.dbzer0.com 81 points 6 days ago

I worked at a restaurant a couple of years ago and we would just take excess food home still.

Calling the police right now! /s

It's a theft thing. Middle managers are concerned about employees purposely making accidents so that they may then eat. It's all about that money honey

[-] Glytch@lemmy.world 40 points 6 days ago

I work for a pizza place and routinely take home orders that didn't get picked up, maybe fancier restaurants just throw their stuff out. We also give those orders to people experiencing homelessnness if they stop in around closing time.

[-] sukhmel@programming.dev 4 points 5 days ago

That's good to hear ❤️

[-] bassomitron@lemmy.world 27 points 6 days ago

They have that policy, but most shift managers aren't assholes and don't care. Also, I know a lot of places around where I live donate the excess food to shelters.

Who do you think throws it out? It's not the manager, but probably one of the regular employees. They can just as easily "throw" it in their car instead...

[-] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 33 points 6 days ago

I now know why all the restaurants require txt message confirmation of order now.

I still have -60$ balance in one app from not picking up the order

You could say they banned me with 60 dollars to unban but I just use competition

[-] nutsack@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days ago

I've never heard of being able to order food without paying for it

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 14 points 4 days ago

You've never ordered for local pickup? Just order over the phone or select "pay in store" online.

[-] nutsack@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

i tried once and they told me to call uber eats or whatever

How would uber eats provide local pickup? Are you going to meet the uber driver at the restaurant? That sounds... overly complicated...

[-] AFC1886VCC@reddthat.com 16 points 5 days ago

Where I live you can order food and pay the delivery person with cash at your door. So the restaurant will prepare the food and send it out without taking any payment.
