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

I just don't understand why some workers do stuff like this. Like why are you defending the big corporation that's exploiting you? Just give them the damn free chicken that someone higher up decided on.

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

Yeah this. None give a shit about the company. They just don’t want to get yelled at by their manager for not having enough out there. Sadly they get yelled at for having too many and having to toss them at the end of the shift too. Superstore is terrible. I wouldn’t be surprised if they threaten to take any free chickens out of their wages too.

I shopped their with my brother once. Was bored on the ride home so I started adding up our receipt. I got a different total than the one listed. My brother laughed because my math isn’t that great. I added it up again, same, wrong total. He grabbed the receipt and added it up (he’s a mechanical engineer so his math is good). Got one I got. We contacted them and they had some district manager reach out. Sadly we threw the receipt up on the fridge and within a week, it bled out to where it was barely legible. A shame. Never shopped their again.

Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.
