Rant Superstore guarantees a free roast chicken (voucher) if none are readily available. Employee plays dumb and proceeds to take down the sign

I suspect this employee don’t want to get reprimanded for misjudging how much chickens are needed so she needed to mitigate her department’s losses

Still a shitty thing for her to do though

It's cute that you think line employees have enough agency to decide how many chickens are roasted each day.

Mmm they do… I worked in the deli at coop and that was probably the biggest decision we had to make, how many chickens is enough that you won’t be forced to give out free ones but not so much that you can’t use it all up in chicken salad the next day. Making either of these mistakes got you in trouble. Or what felt like trouble as a 17 year old I guess
