Take Your Perks Where You Can

I worked at a cheese plant's cold storage warehouse just inspecting the outgoing boxes and replacing the cardboard if it was wet/moldy before loading them onto trucks.

If any of the plastic baggies covering the cheese itself was damaged, it had to be thrown out. It was pretty rare for it to happen naturally but we would sometimes purposely puncture one with the forks on our lifts just so we could eat it.

Once we had some mozerella that was FRESH off the production line. Like so fresh, it was still warm and when we bit into it, it made our teeth squeak.

I also worked for a WISP as an installer and got to take home some fun little toys from work that were just going to be junked as they were phased out. Got some Ubiquity Nanos and I set them up to blast my wifi across town so I would never need to disconnect from my home network when I went out to the store.

Now this is owning the memes of production

Sure it's fine when you work in a bakery, but in a gynecologists office...

Work on farm, can confirm. Ugly veggie? Straight in the food hole.

My elementary school in Colorado toured a Wonder Bread factory and yeah nothing is tastier than warm bread fresh out of the oven. We stuffed ourselves with hot-dog bun defects.

I do that for home cooking when e.g slicing up smoked chicken or bacon or some other form of not-(completely)-raw meat and a piece is too oddly shaped.
