Today, I started my first day at work, I've been unemployed for a while and am in college, so naturally I have no money. At the end of my shift, I ask what we do with the extra bread, and they tell me to throw it away. Being poor and hungry, I decide to take the bread home. I got fired for stealing. FML

You should have just asked if you could have it.

You should've asked first. Some places have very strict policies about things like that, but they may have said yes if you had asked. Technically, you WERE stealing.

that sucks but you should have waited a couple days before you took stuff from them. Eyeball and see what the situation is, not just do what you want on day 1.

wait! if you're in college, why dont you have a meal plan?

He's unemployed > has no money > meal plans cost money

YDI. Some companies have that policy for ethical reasons. They don't want employees to purposefully make too much bread and there by getting to take it home.

Honestly you thought that would be ok? If you supervisor/manager told you what to do with a product that's what you do with it. "What do you want me to do with this bread?" "Throw it out" "I'm just going to steal it instead"

I think most people believe that once a person or company decides that something is garbage, they've pretty much forfeited their ownership of it, and therefore it can't be stolen from them.

YDI it should be obvious that you can't take it home with you. Should have asked first.

Everyone keeps saying this is a common rule in the food industry. I've never had to work around food, so I've never heard of it. Seems pretty stupid to fire someone over taking garbage from work.

I work in a grocery store and once my boss had me throwing out expired ice cream bars, I asked him if I could have one, he said no. Meanwhile there was a homeless person reaching up into the garbage taking all the ice cream.

Do you want to switch places with him?

HAHAHAHAHA #67 xD how do you wanna quit after you get fired ?
