    i used to work retail, what annoyed me more than the cart stuff was when people just left refrigerated items they didnt want anymore on shelves. is it rly that hard to walk a couple extra seconds to put it back? just spoils food, attracts bugs

    edit: spelling

        Retail, not restaurant. Think groceries. It’s packaged. It’s fine to put back if it’s still sealed.

          Not if it’s been left on an unrefrigerated shelf for an unknown amount of time.

            I think this might be locally decided. When I worked retail we always put the food back and pretended nothing was wrong

                I didn’t make the policy and I would have lost my job, and therefore my ability to pay to live, if I refused. I only worked there for a few months anyway. But yeah, man, direct your fury at the bottom of the totem pole

            You misunderstand. I didn’t mean, “it’s fine to put random crap you find misplaced around the store back in the fridge”. I meant it’s fine for the people who put it on the shelf to instead put it back in the correct refrigerated/frozen section.

            OFC you shouldn’t put now unthawed crap back in the freezer or now warm things back in the fridge unless you know it hasn’t been out long… That should be common knowledge. I assumed noone would be dumb enough to take that interpretation, but here we are…
