Work Reform

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

That was probably an additional 5 cents worth of popcorn that was being sold for $10 too.
Yeah but a quickly fireable offense. At least how it was 15-20 years ago they inventory the containers. So if you gave someone the wrong size your inventory would be off when you cashed out, you'd be gone by day 3. Now if someone ordered a medium and came back half way through the movie and you refilled it for them, no one probably would have ever cared. Same with drinks.
Aka in their eyes the empty tub holding the popcorn is worth $10, they couldn't care how much popcorn you gave them. (The managers got paid absolute shit as well, so they just want the numbers to be close enough that they also aren't in trouble)
Doubt it. Corn is so cheap the difference is probably not even a full coin.
