A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- If you feel strongly that you want politics back, please volunteer as a mod.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.

Doesn't matter. They're a de facto representative of the company. If I had been your Arby's manager that would have been why you got fired. 🤷
Do you honestly think 16 year old me gave 2 shits about being fired? Or that an arbys manager would give 2 shits about customers? Have you BEEN to arbys???
Also, your logic doesn't track. If you're saying that McDonalds should fire this guy for snitching, that implies that McDonalds DOESN'T support snitching. That his actions were his own and do not represent the company who at that point would no longer employ him.
Whereas I knew MY manager at that time would have been high as hell at work, and loved to watch this woman yell and scream and be a karen decades before that term existed. I directed her to take her threat DIRECTLY to the front of house to put on a show everyone can see, because I knew I had no reason to give a shit.
And really, NO fast food worker should give a shit about the customers past a certain point. Be nice to those nice to you, but when they start bitching, they can fuck off with that.
Back to the topic at hand, the snitching would be their own personal actions, not the company.
Fair.
I didn't say that.
I agree entirely. But at the point that worker starts behaving as you described they're going too far. It's only warranted if the manager is being a lazy shit and not protecting the people they're meant to be managing.. and at that point should be followed up by an on the spot quit because that manager failed hard.
On time the company is renting they're a representative of that company so you're wrong in that.
Found the asshole.
Not interested in your fetishes.
