Breakfast pizza is shockingly good.

I worked at dominos about a decade ago in Australia and had a fairly lenient manager (if you're on at prep open at 8am, worked through the lunch shift or did the close you got to make yourself food (pizza/pasta/chicken wings/whatever) and I was there when they were doing the Aussie with egg and the 7 meats. let me tell you how good a breakfast pizza with lamb and bacon was :perfect:

The other benefit was being near loads of other takeaway joints like a noodle bar, Chinese, KFC, and a few others and doing trades with the other stores for lunch, we'd call up if we were vibing specific things but usually would just wait for the call

Also being there when dominos did pasta owned cos similarly to pizza you could throw whatever you wanted in and it was good AF


ALSO
I just remembered that an ex and myself had a leftover base when we did some from a Nancy Silverton recipe and we made a toffee sauce and put sliced bananas on and roasted that in the oven till the bananas caramelised and had fresh whipped cream on top

Free food jobs

Highly advisable

Worked at starbucks in 2000, all the baked goods were from some whole foods industrial bakery, fresh every day...by afternoon we were to throw all the bread and scones out that was left over. We would go home with huge paper sacks of cranberry bread and maple scones and muffins almost every day, plus all the free drinks you want. Not sure if they're as lenient now, but I could live off the free food I got at that job when I worked there.

I worked a summer at starbucks around 2005. At that time we would get a pre-sliced loaf of whatever and put one on display and the rest stored in plastic tubs with a day sticker on them. So if we got the loaf Wednesday the rule was keep it until say Friday. Anything unsold by close Friday had a decent chance of getting divvied up by people on shift. It wasn't daily fresh, but it was OK.

They delivered it in those large grey tubs every morning at 430 or so. Yeah it was fresh daily and thrown out daily. Some managers would wait and give it to evening staff but if the morning was slow we could just take stuff. That job was actually really fun, but I went through 3 store managers in a year, they were some of the most hosed up people possible every time.

I was 18y/o, I had no clue what I was expecting lol. Two of them were just gently caress ups, the third was this raving bipolar person who would scream at me alone in teh store before we opened for zero reason. I thought I was going to have to call police once cause she was slamming poo poo and screaming and we had to open soon, it was a bad time, but she got fired not reassigned.

I think it just comes with the territory. Not that there's anything wrong with earning money as a manager of a retail establishment, but I'd say a good 2/3 of them are gently caress-ups in some capacity (especially if most employees are under 30).

My very first job was working at a theater, a cinema to you non-americans (which is a level of anti-food), and in the few days between my orientation and first day on the job, he got fired and arrested for embezzling.

I definitely lived off it because I was often working the 4pm-close shift then working at a friend's bakery for a few hours after when his dad was off work with an injury so I'd get home around 6am, sleep till 2pm then go into work

Also used to steal the kilogram bags of some ingredients for home, lmao. It was rife in that shop. I'd take prepped veggies and the better meats home by the prep container and take kilo bags of the chicken wings for hangovers,our house was a party house so most weekends after close I'd go home and get ratfucked

Old roommate of mine had a coffee maker that only produced coffee tasting of mould. There was no visible mould anywhere in it. Once she ran vinegar through it and then it tasted of vinegar and mould.

She would just. You know. Drink it.

That was the era when I bought a cheap French press and used that.

I've seen many office break rooms with moldy coffee maker baskets. It's loving gross, and probably what made Kerig so popular even though it's dogshit.

My roommate keeps trying to throw out my unopened, "expired" cheese, no matter how many times I explain to her that when it does that it just levels up. It's not sharp cheddar anymore, it's now extra extra extra sharp cheddar.

i have a friend who can unfortunately one-up you, after he discovered that someone at a party he'd thrown had seen his opened rice cooker, and thrown up in to it. then closed it.

it was at least 3 weeks before he found it. aaaugughgh

I'm married to a cheddar person so you're not going to win me over any more than already possible. The forgotten closet cheddar full of Cheese Crystals and processed cheese product taste different but they're all on the same spectrum of sharp cheese that ruins sausage, bread, and eggs. I'd be more than happy to eat your closet cheddar with some figs tho

It really depends. I've had up to 22 year old cheddar and there's been amazing and terrible cheddar pretty much along the whole age range.

How do you age cheese for 22 years. I had a free sample of 12 year old cheese from a cheese maker and I'm pretty sure they were actually just trying to give it away because it was an abomination.

first time i tried this, i could not cut it. i could not cut the cheese. i almost cut my finger off. it is that hard. i eventually resorted to putting it on a cutting board, covering it with plastic wrap, and hitting it with a hammer until it broke into bite size pieces.
