What is the most petty way a place you worked at tried to save a few bucks?

Pizza places (multiple companies) would “pick the pits” where the toppings that fell off the pizzas into the make line where put back. Sauce from a can was scraped with a spatula because that added up to a full pizza’s worth of sauce after two gallons of sauce.

A retail job I had would not let employees use self checkout at any store (even if they where not at the one they worked at) due to a fear of theft. The customers of course used the self checkout for theft.

Scraping out any container with a spatula is pretty standard for most restaurants. It's a pretty easy way to reduce food waste. "Pick the pits" is gross tho

Uhhh what ? Retail afraid their employees steal their stuff, but not customer?

Well, I feel like, sorry if I offended you, but I feel like those retail company employs poor dudes with low pay (who they think will steal for living) to serve rich dudes ( who too rich to steal petty stuff)

TBF they paid $11 in 2021. It was a summer job during college so no worries. I picked it because it was inside and not subject to the summer rain showers.
