Well in that case, let's impose a draft and lock up the gays since we have the death penalty.

Are there not already? My friends wife told me how a McDonalds in the UK used to give her really ****ed up schedules to where she would go home and sleep for an hour or two then have to get up and go back to work and she said it was highly illegal out there.

Art Is Dead. Buy My ****.

I think our company has policies against that sort of thing, but they're not really enforced except by our managers not being dicks. They can be dicks.

When I used to work alone overnight at a deli doing massive amounts of food prep I stole and ate SO much cheese and pastrami. So much gets thrown out anyway, so.

But Texas unsurprisingly doesn't have a lot of labor laws
If you really want to **** over your bosses you have to have some honest hatred. You have to be willing to hurt yourself to do it.
