Apparently they're blaming the decision to stop us from taking home food because of some dipshit who took too much shit home. Idk if that's true this time (last time it was the impetus for them to give a shit, some guy was taking home like four fucking containers of shit every day) but even if they're just scapegoating someone it's still collective punishment which, according to the Geneva convention, is a literal crime against humanity

The guy said a bunch of shit about the costs of containers (i could buy 1000 for 150 dollars, at like, my personal ass consumer rate, im sure it's cheaper for them. That's less than 18 cents each btw) and then about how when he was at chik fil a he'd have extra sandwiches ready every day just to take shit home (implying we do the same but i promise none of the cooks including me are doing anything extra. We over prep but it's fucking buffet style and the dining habits are unpredictable and some shit we can't just magic up more of mid service) so maybe it's brain worms about that

It's just fucking dumb. I told my boss, head chef (not the guy who decided this shit), it's so ass backward because this is a low cost, to them, effective increase in our pay and benefits that people will weigh considering whether to stay at the job or not. He said some shit about how we'd have to find another restaurant job to take shit home and probably couldn't find one that would let us, and it's like. Buddy. At that point, you've got us comparing two jobs that don't let us take shit home. You no longer have that selling point! The difficulty in finding that perk elsewhere doesn't fucking matter anymore! Fuck!

I am just obsessively churning out thoughts making arguments that would work if this weren't a fucking hell that we live in where people are corporate machines willing to kill you even for just perceived benefit. No matter what I say I know it's just going to be constant goalpost changing bullshit as he tries to convince me that actually I was never entitled to this benefit or w/e

Not sure if you've been through this before, but don't take people's regurgitated responses too seriously. People will spit out whatever comes to mind, but I know definitively that on some level, with many of your coworkers (not every single one, but a good chunk or possibly a majority) they know your words and ideas make more sense than their own.

Key is to be "normal and chill" most of the time, a bit impassioned is okay when you're on topic.in 6 months (even if you've kinda given up) you'll see some of that energy reflected back at you. Just gotta walk the line of being "chill person who has a wild hair about some things (but actually kinda makes sense when you chat about it more)" and not "crazy person making a fool out of yourself by making a big deal about everything all the time".
