I had something similar happen once when I was a teenager, working McDonald's. Keep in mind, is not PTO it's just 'don't schedule me these days'. Handed my request to a manager like a month in advance. Before I went in the family vacation, double checked everything was fine. When I got back from vacation, went to work to get the next schedule only to get stopped and informed I was fired for 'no call no show'.

The one manager that didn't like me for some reason (honestly don't know why) had changed the schedule to explicitly get me fired. The manager I handed my request to was there and even said she remembered my request and putting it in the books but claimed there was nothing they could do.

Technically, I've been fired twice from McDonald's (second time was years later at a different McDonald's and basically the owner thought my hair was too long and I had 'girls hair'). So I cut McDonald's out of my life a long time ago. And it brings me great joy every time I read about McDonald's having financial problems or people not going there as much as they used to. I hope I live long enough to see McDonald's file for bankruptcy. And all the managers that wronged me, I've never forgotten. I wish them nothing but unhappiness and misfortune for all their days.

Forgot to add in "Was fired for incompetence".

It's Doom.

It's literally a photo of id software devs. You can tell by John Romero's glorious mane.

Better hope you don't run out of screen minutes.

Fresh in they want it cooked "fresh". People do it all the time because they are under the idea that the food just sits until sold, and it's some life hack to demand it be made fresh. People do it with fries all the time, or they'll demand "no salt" (forcing someone to make it fresh) and then once getting the food, ask for a shit ton of salt packets (the salt will not stick to the fries at this point). For sure, not all McD's hold themselves to the corporate standards, but I'd say a fair number do.

Its especially silly to ask for it to be "made fresh" during rush, since they're likely cycling through everything in minutes.

TVs are a classic example. I found luggage accidentally one time years ago. Was so poorly made I was shocked it hasn't disintegrated in transit. Immediately returned it. When I did some research, it looked like none had ever actually sold off that SKU until Black Friday, and they had a stupid price listed months before hand for that deep discount the day of.

I'd say, potentially yes.

I say that, because 1, is been over 2 decades since I worked a McDonald's, so things could have changed. And 2, it depends on the time of day. And secret third option, depends on the customer.

So generally speaking a certain amount of food will be cooked before hand and kept in a warmer for only so many minutes (ideally). So it is possible that there wasn't enough chicken nuggets ready to go and they just had to be counted out. If that's the case the person just needed to make more chicken nuggets.

However, even back when I worked there you had a plethora of customers who would demand fresh stuff and I know it's only gotten more popular to do (don't do that). So if this individual demanded that they be freshly made and it was done during the rush... Then yes absolutely this could have made somebody's day worse.

The cells ability to produce power is directly related to how much light it gets. You'd be able to measure it. Take a reading as is. Then remove the weeds, take a reading. Then clean it, take a reading. Then point it at the sun so it's as perpendicular as you can get it, take a reading. Each time you should see an increase in output.

Panels on the ground that people are going to walk in (or drive) are going to be prone to damage. I'm fact, they've already done ground solar panel installations and they've all failed as far as I know. When placed above, you don't need to over engineer it to survive things. Concrete, can handle a lot more wear and tear, as well as being easy to repair and recycles really well.

Basically, there's an objectively better way to use the panels.

I did that in badminton. I'm the beginning I swapped hands when they weren't looking. Once they caught on, of randomly swap whenever.

Can't have you accessing skins and items they plan to sell!

I would presume it wouldn't matter. I don't think icebreakers have layers and it's just the same thing all the way through. Sorbitol, while tasting sweet, is a hyperosmotic laxative.

It may be better to address the addiction then trying to dodge the side effects.
