Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.

RULES

Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on [email protected]
Keep it clean and SFW
No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

YMMV:

Dollar General: nobody watches the cameras unless someone reports something
USPS: exploitative. Has the ability to manipulate politics (political ads are not guaranteed to be delivered)
Amazon Warehouse: exploitative
Amazon DSP: exploitative. DSPs were created to bypass labor laws
Restaurants: most fried foods, and many not fried, are frozen. This is not just fast food, think steaks.

Delivery Service “Partner”

It’s the outsourced delivery drivers.

I don't know why I read Delivery Service Panther and got excited. I would probably be dead after the first delivery, but still.

Your sandals are here. Fight me, human.

Reading this in an ad tech context (Demand Side Platform, where businesses pay money to get their ads into the marketplace) read equally true. Their margin is roughly 50-60%

Edit: Amazon is a DSP in the advertising space

Tons of restaurants serve premade stuff from US Foods or Sysco. Lie about it, too. I worked at a BBQ restaurant whose secret sauce recipe was adding smoke flavoring and red wine vinegar to 5 gallon buckets of Cattlemen’s.
