    A family meal is an accounted for expense. Restaurants are already ruthlessly low margins. This costs real money 🤷‍♂️.

      My brother came home with a ten(or more I dont remember) pound bag of bacon one time from the resturant he worked at…15 years ago, the place is still open today.

      They guy stealing liquor got fired, but my brother and ex both worked there and would come home nightly with leftover pizza and all kinds of things the owners would let the employees take. Its one of the best and most popular resturants in my state. Had another roommate at another pizza joint (also still open 15 years later) who would bring us home white pies nearly every night. This practice seems pretty fuckin common with small owned companies, for corpo trash, yeah, they throw it out. Mom and pop take care though.

      Less uh, legal example:

      Hell when I worked at the Travel Center, there was a gas station, a resturant, and a Burgerking. I worked in the gas station where the manager himself encouraged fhe five finger discount, and we’d trade the resturant cooks energy drinks for meals. Same With BK, though less often. We couldnt trade with the Dunkin in there. I was young, but it was a whole thing, “we cant trade with them” I forgot why. All these places are still there. I became homeless while working there and was sleeping in a coworkers car on the night shift. I’ll never forget the night he brought me out a giant plate of mashed potatoes and greenbeans for dinner. fucking blessed yo
