There should be laws that make this a criminal offense. Send managers like that to jail for a month for this, that might change their opinions slightly

From what I heard from a coworker, moose pheromones are even stinkier? They used em as a prank (they can be ordered for hunting) on a friend but it was so hard to get out I think the car he to be totalled, if I remember the story right

What store is this? I mean, which one?

I'd love to tell your manager that he works at a Christian establishment and that this constitutes greed, perhaps with elements of sloth. Both are mortal sins. Shall the owners' sky-daddy beliefs turn out to be right, he's in for eternal punishment.

I'm sure it's not the 1st mortal sin they have committed, nor will it be their last. What would Jesus have done? But then Christianity hasn't ever really followed what Jesus preached about.

Thinking aloud, what would you think of a "community donation" menu item?

The gist is - say you're a pizza company and create an edible mistake - offer the customer to make a community donation. You add $5 to their order (cost of ingredients) and a paper slip to their order and heck, toss in one slice of the mistake pizza. The slip has a dual purpose - one half is a donation receipt, the other is a 'collect 5 for a free pizza' coupon. The rest of the pizza then is free to distribute (to employees, guests, passersby's on the street - or on a particularly error prone day a local shelter)

The shop management gets costs reimbursed. The employee is out only the time for the second pizza (which they had to do anyway) and the customer gets warm fuzzies and a tax write off for doing the right thing. As a bonus, the free pizza and charity are both great optics.

If the customer declines, the option reverts to the employee (they get the tax receipt, house keeps the coupon), and only if both decline may the pizza be trashed (I mean, management may still opt to 'donate' but give it to only non-employees (still great optics), but even if it gets trashed, it now looks like the customer that's the jerk, not the shop.)

And there's little chance of abuse, I think. If the customer and employee conspire, the employee is effectively just adding to their own workload, the customer spends $25 in donations for a free $14 pizza, and management laughs its way to the bank bragging about how charitable their employees are.
