When I was in high school, in a small town, we got our first fast food restaurant in the form of a Burger King. Almost everyone worked there at some point. But I remember a friend of mine one day he was working when I went thru the drive thru just for a drink but when I paid, he hands me my drink (but the largest size) and then 3 bags: One full of fries, one full of whoppers, and one full of chicken nuggets. Turns out he was quitting and was doing that for everyone ๐Ÿคฃ

This has to be a rite of passage or something because I pretty much did the same thing. I was a 19 yr old working at Burger King as a shift manager. It was a bright and beautiful Sunday morning, my last day at the job, and I was about to start my new career the very next day.

I was flying high and I could not even attempt to give two shits about Burger King. We did full inventory and ordered food for the week on Sundays, everyone hated doing this so they made me do it as much as possible.

I got the bright idea to have a BBQ at my new job in the morning so I fudged the numbers and walked out with 1 case of whopper patties, 1 case of hamburger patties, enough buns to cover them all, the veggies, and a BK crown.

Lol best bbq ever the next day and I got to start my new job with an awesome first impression. I networked with so many random people which has actually boosted my career to this day.

The moral of my story is... Stealing from Burger King is.. good..?

Stealing from big corporations is not stealing but the reappropriation of the labour of the workers.
