>>1702784This was about 10 years ago but i used to work for Starbucks (they opened a new store in my city) and we went through one week of training. The store was closed for that entire week and when they train you and teach you how to make the drinks they let you use real milk, real syrups etc. The amount of milk we went through was abysmal. Gallons and gallons of it, just for it to disappear in the drain. I ended up asking the supervisor if this was necessary. I felt so bad about it that i almost quit right there and then but i was young and needed the money. Once i started working there we often had food left that was "best by" and it was just thrown away (think entire cakes, sandwiches). Upper management refused for us to take it home or give it to shelters or whatever. Sometimes we had 2 big trash bags full with food.

A year ago I was in the hospital for 3 days. And i was surprised to see that everything was paper cups and paper plates, because when i was in the hospital as a kid they gave you real plates and cups that were washable.

All the food gets ordered from restaurants or specific meal making places, so they don't have a need for kitchens anymore, thus there is no place to dish wash. The amount of cups i have seen accumulating in bins over the course of a day just in my little ward was nothing short of shocking. I like how governments try to pretend to "fight the good fight" by forcing citizens to do a whole bunch of shit like separate their trash (which i btw think is a good thing) and charge us for the littlest amount of plastic we buy (which i think is unfair) but then the same rules don't apply for big organizations or places like hospitals.
>>1710213I like to go for walks at night near an industrial park and the amount of buildings that have big spotlights on outside (just lighting up the exterior of the building) the entire night is basically all of them. For who? Why are these big lights on? It is disturbing the peace of the little insects and other critters and it doesn't serve anyone. I hav
