Correct me if I’m wrong, but a camera is like $200. It sounds like the raises would’ve been shit anyway. Everyone should quit.
Maybe those 20 seconds were because of the lack of getting raises?

I’ve got quotes for a $30k bispectral. I’m really hoping I get to order one, but I highly doubt it…
RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 5 months ago
There were never any raises. This is just guilt-tripping bullshit.
KaiReeve@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Miranda knows that she can continue to pocket a majority of the restaurant profits if she can get the staff to blame each other for their discontentments.
bitwaba@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Na, Miranda is just an exploited shift manager who is making $3.00 above minimum wage that her profit stealing owner has convinced her will eventually turn into a fine quality of life if she just keep her nose to the grindstone so that she will turn around and fire her “underperforming” minimum wage underlings that will happily do something that damages their brain just to make 20 minutes of their 4 hour burrito rolling shift go by faster.
Xanis@lemmy.world 5 months ago
There is a good chance there was no whip-it (bop-it!) person either. This can read as someone promising raises and having another agenda, tying them together, and wham bam here’s your letter.
To me it isn’t just slashing the promise of a raise, it’s creating a reason to install cameras because someone wants eyes where they didn’t have them before. Assuming this post is true, I smell an update down the road.
Ibaudia@lemmy.world 5 months ago
There were probably never any “whip-its” (lol) either.

What’s a “walk in”? What’s a “whip it”?
trxxruraxvr@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I’m guessing walk-in fridge at a restaurant. No idea what a whip-it is.

whipped cream nitrous oxide cartridge. Breathing in the gas gets you real fucked up. Never done it, because I like my brain cells.

WhatIsThePointAnyway@lemmy.world 5 months ago
A high end camera and install might cost $1,000. Not exactly enough the cover “raises.” More than likely it will be a $100 shitty wi-fi camera. This is such bull shit.
someguy3@lemmy.world 5 months ago
That $100 is like three fiffy each.

It was that day that Miranda learned that her entire staff were not, as she had believed, individual team mates, but in fact the loch ness monster in disguise. It needs tree fiddy
Etterra@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Yeah that security camera is an excuse. They only cost a few hundred bucks.
Halosheep@lemm.ee 5 months ago
Installing a security camera in a walking freezer is a little more complicated than that though.

I would have used that $3000 (excessive price to emphasize the point) for raises for multiple people! Be mad that you and your 4 coworkers aren’t getting an additional $11/week!
blindbunny@lemmy.ml 5 months ago
Miranda, you work in a kitchen if your staff isn’t high (with Kevlar gloves) you’re probably mismanaging that kitchen.
merthyr1831@lemmy.world 5 months ago
that $0.01 pay rise could’ve kept someone off the streets!
Guy_Fieris_Hair@lemmy.world 5 months ago
A security camera: $100
$1/hr for 15 people: $31k A YEAR. Those two things are not even in the same realm.
Maggoty@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Whoa now, but 10 cents for 15 people is only 3,000 dollars. Miranda never said it was a gold plated raise. And let’s be honest, the tipped staff were never a part of it to begin with. This was just (checks notes) supervisors and management.
(Tip sharing was never about anything good. Either you’re overpaying cooks and hosts by giving them normal pay with tips, while servers are on tipped minimum; or you’ve put everyone on tipped minimum.)

“You were each TOTALLY going to get an extra $.67 a month, if not for fucking Darren over here who forgot to thank me for his employment this morning in the daily thank you ceremony. You guys don’t get it… you think this is easy? Anyways I’m also doubling all your rents.”
“Disregard that last part, forgot you weren’t my ungrateful tenants, because of course I’m also a landlord.”
Halosheep@lemm.ee 5 months ago
No fast food manager is also a landlord.
Maggoty@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Oh but they would if they could! I can see it now, a national restaurant chain that only does mixed zoning restaurants. Apartments are staff only and cheaper than market. But your boss is also your landlord. Now when workers “churn” you can have them evicted and taken to court for debt too!
Snapz@lemmy.world 5 months ago
And if you bring in workers from other countries, you can hold their work visas in the balance if they are found to ever be outside of either the restaurant or the employee housing!
And saddest of all, I worked at a restaurant where the owner actually did this… He was never directly held accountable for what amounted to indentured slavery essentially, but thankfully he was forced to sell eventually due to a backlog of unpaid labor disputes and sexual harassment lawsuits.
CodingCarpenter@lemm.ee 5 months ago
Or possibly don’t do drugs when you are being paid to perform a specific task in a specific location? Especially if there’s any major responsibilities such as food handling and safety? Keep that shit to your own time.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 months ago
You’ve clearly never worked in a kitchen.
nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 5 months ago
Never worked in an actual kitchen, I but boy did we do a lot of drugs in the Arby’s walkin, and behind the Arby’s, and in the parking lot… usually with management.

If you can’t tell who is doing them in the walk in, is it really a problem?
Gennadios@lemmy.world 5 months ago
If your coping strategy for a shitty job is whipits, theres a very good chance you’re earning too much.
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Exactly how much do you think whip-its cost?
DriftinGrifter@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 months ago
the problem isn’t the whippets cost but rather that they only fuck you up for a good 30-60 seconds and leave a headache so youd have to buy an immense ammount to get through the day
lolcatnip@reddthat.com 5 months ago
A lot if you use them regularly. Back when I was a heavy user I could very easily blow through $100 worth in a couple of hours.
someguy3@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I never understood, what exactly do they do? (More descriptive than ‘high’ please.)
BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee 5 months ago
Makes you a bit light headed and pleasantly dissociated. If you’ve ever done psychedelics it’s a bit like the come up. You get really loose and jovial for a minute.or two; it’s pretty common to spend it laughing your ass off. Then you come back to earth feeling relaxed. It’s (safely) synergistic with a lot of common party drugs.
I can only speak to its effects with mushrooms and acid. On a healthy dose of mushrooms (3.5 g or so) it’s akin to a DMT trip of you hit it at the peak. Fractals out the wazoo and you lose all sense of time. I thought I travelled to the future and came back with an unsettling sense of deja vu. 7/10.
The last time I did whipits was in combination with some nice dark web blotters. Dropped a 150 mic tab, watched 2001: a space odyssey and did whipits the whole time. The visuals were very different from mushrooms. Colors appeared out of nowhere, deep purples, greens and reds dripping off the walls and screens while you felt like your very essence was melting into a pool of narcotic bliss. Again, losing all sense of time until your soul suddenly reconstituted itself. 11/10

They’re snorting the gas off of cans of whipped cream.
PrivateNoob@sopuli.xyz 5 months ago
Whip-its? Is this a Class of 09 reference? /s
TurtleJoe@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I mean, just lock up the nitrous chargers. Put them in the office or the liquor room or whatever. They don’t need to be kept in the walk-in.
If this manager is buying readi-whip or any other pre-made whipped cream canisters, they deserve to be fired from both a culinary and business standpoint. (I don’t think those kinds of canisters need to be kept refrigerated anyway.)
IzzyScissor@lemmy.world 5 months ago
A. They do need to be refrigerated. B. Why would a manager get fired for buying whipped cream??
When I worked at a Chick-Fil-A, ready whip cans were used for the milkshakes, but nothing else. The magnet holding this sign up is also the same as the backing for the name badges used there.
Do you think a fast food chain should be making whipped cream to order?
AgentGrimstone@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Miranda just wanted to set up an excuse for not giving raises.
pjwestin@lemmy.world 5 months ago
A) There is no fucking way that camera costs so much that no one can get raises. B) It you’re doing whip-its at work, you should probably be fired. C) If you can’t figure out which one of your employees is high on whip-its, you probably shouldn’t be running a business.

Also, they would have given the raises already. Were they just waiting to make sure people weren’t doing whip it’s in freezer before giving the raises?
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 months ago
It sure as hell shouldn’t. Punishing all of your employees because someone is doing nitrous in the walk-in?
I worked in more than one kitchen where half the whipped cream cans didn’t dispense.
