This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Wait until anon figures out that there's a waaaaay higher markup on soda/pop than on condiments sold for a distinct and seperate cost, and that's how a lot of franchise restaurants make a large chunk of their profits.

As in, 1,125% percent markup.

As in, if you pay $2 for a soda, it actually cost the fast food place about 0.18 cents.

Not 18 cents, 0.18 cents.

...

Also, why would an employee care about ringing up a 50 cent condiment?

... Anon has clearly never worked fast food.

Absolutely chalk full of petty vindictive tyrant bosses that will prevent a promotion, chew you out, take that 50 cents out of your pay, and if you regularly do that, fire you, and possibly even report you to the police for some kind of petty crime that boils down to 'stealing from the company'.

Wagies are often pathetic because their bosses are often evil and cruel, and they can't afford to lose the job.

I learned about this years ago when I pulled into a McDonalds at midnight for coffee. Guy said they didn't have any made but would make a pot, and that me buying the cup of coffee paid for the whole large pot.

You only get about three larges out of a pot of McCafe drip but indeed the packets of coffee are the cheapest commodity Brazilian coffee they can find
