Sometimes you have to wonder what’s going on in the heads of employers these days. They claim that no one wants to work and that they’re having trouble finding people to pay, but then they don’t seem to, you know, actually treat the folks who do want to work for them kindly.

People in the comments agreed that none of the food looked appetizing at all, and was obviously about the cheapest thing management could find.
