There is a documentary series on Netflix called rotten. There is an episode on garlic and it's the most dickered up thing ever. Also my phone autocorrects hosed to dickered and I'm leaving it like that

bike tory posted:Idk maybe restaurant prices are way more here too? Mains ~$25-30, entrees $10-15, desserts about the same, drinks like $8-10 each. That easily adds up to more than $100, even if you skip dessert or entree. Americans call main dishes entrees lol. Dumb fucks.

I've been trying to get my employer to stop buying Christopher Ranch garlic for awhile. I'm friends with our buyer, but he says it's CR or nothing, our supplier doesn't carry anything else.

It's stunning how even the most banal things from the outside are hosed up and rotten on the inside. like things you never even think about that do untold damage to create. Toothpaste is ground unicorn horn. Trees feel pain and beg for their lives while they're being cut down. Pro wrestling is real.

The one job I've had doing food service the boss was super chill with me eating food and taking drinks and stuff. It helped that I worked with her every shift AND I'm like 60% sure the business was actually a money laundering scheme of some kind. She ended up firing me because a bunch of stoners thought they ordered a pizza when instead they hung up on me after saying they didn't want to order. (This was, I admit, after a fair amount of fuckups on my part, because as it turns out giving me a menu to memorize before I'm actually hired and expecting me to understand some archaic system from the 1990's means I won't get things perfectly the first week.)

LOL, I feed 4 people, including a 16 year old athlete, for like, $300 a month. In an expensive month. That is not being super frugal, but like, frugal enough. Are they living in loving Nome? That ain't even Hawaii prices. Edit: LOL I forgot how many people are in this house or counted the dog or some poo poo. KiteAuraan has issued a correction as of 09:27 on Sep 13, 2019 |

Funny thing about organic kale that if you eat it in season and hit farmer's markets and stuff, it costs at most, 99 cents a bunch, less at peak. I eat a lot of it when it is on sale because it's one of the cheapest green vegetables you can get, but only at that time.

I imagine at some point spending your time cooking starts to seem inefficient from a cost/benefit perspective. If you make hundreds of dollars an hour, why spend 1 hour of your time to try and save a few bucks by poaching chicken and cleaning the kitchen when you can get Whole Foods hot bar, or delivery or something. Especially if your cooking skills aren't good to begin with, and you value your 1 additional hour of leisure time more than you'd save making a meal. I suppose you might as well hire a servant to cook and clean for you at that point, I'm sure there's room in the budget somewhere for, uh, misc. services? I have no idea, gonna eat some frozen soup I made over the weekend for lunch tomorrow.

Commutes should count as working hours. If you're not paying me enough to live near my workplace (and you're forcing me to travel to do a job I could do from home, but that's not really relevant) then you need to compensate me for it. The EU actually offers protections to workers without a set workplace because of companies that tried to abuse them by claiming their time spent traveling wasn't worktime: https://www.fastcompany.com/3063893/the-eu-says-that-some-commuting-time-counts-as-paid-work quote:By today’s judgment, the Court of Justice declares that, where workers, such as those in the situation at issue, do not have a fixed or habitual place of work, the time spent by those workers traveling each day between their homes and the premises of the first and last customers designated by their employer constitutes working time within the meaning of the directive. I don't see how this doesn't also apply to workers with a fixed place of work.

autism ZX spectrum posted:The employer actually wanted him to just keep working for free after he hit his hours quota, like how salaried middle managers at stores will be there for 12 hours a day every day but their salary is equivalent to working 30 hour weeks Well yeah but if you're going to be fired either way, just stop working and close the store at noon. I guess that only works if you know you're going to be fired either way, but I get the feeling this didn't exactly come out of nowhere. If you want to force people to work 12 hours without overtime pay then make them salaried, it's not hard and they can't sue you for your petty bullshit then.

The real funny thing about kale is that before the superfood trend, the largest purchaser was Pizza hut, to use as decoration under their salad bar.

Elman posted:Commutes should count as working hours.

My workplace moved across town and my commute went from a very stable 14 minutes to a minimum of 22, often 30, and disappointingly frequently 45+, both ways. It was better for the owner's kids because it's literally less than a mile from their home. The rest of us can just get hosed, I guess.

Is this author a goon? quote:Be prepared to get shouted down by your supervisor or your team leader at the tail end of your shift, telling you you’ll have to stay for another two hours – because the loving Computer-God doubled the quota during your lunch break. No one is relaying this information because the workers are only useful to the supervisors as a way of making the numbers go up.
