Now that you mention it I think Ultron was just embarrassed they showed up before he was ready and was too shy to ask them to leave, his cover lie was full of holes.
Probably depends on the store, but I think most of them usually give the unsold baked goods to the employees every day, or whatever day they’re due to be marked out. My buddy has been at Starbucks for years, and he always has treats after a closing shift.
Anecdotal, but from what I’ve seen from the few stores I know about, they either have a donation program set up where somebody picks stuff up and takes elsewhere (probably homeless shelters and hospitals?) or managers let employees snatch stuff up before it gets to the trash can. Most employees are pretty fucking sick of the food after working there a few months, but neighbors and workers near the location always appreciate a bag full of free goodies once in a while.
I worked at Starbucks about a decade ago and it was a special treat when we were allowed to take a very small portion of the marked off goods but we had to make sure to throw most of it out least an internal audit show we were (mind you) not selling enough versus the actual problem of wasting untold amounts of food. Fucking disgusting operation.
When the forklift is in motion the forks should be 6 inches or less from the ground. That driver needs a firm talking to. Maybe even a written warning.
Make a habit of reading takes (from reputable / serious sources) that you think you’ll disagree with.
Even if it doesn’t change your mind, you will understand other people’s POV. This is very important for understanding your own stance better and finding flaws and uncertainties in it.
It also tends to humanise “the other side” (whoever that is for you), which makes it easier to have a constructive argument rather than meaningless fights.
Man, I remember I got Minecraft right after the Nether’d been introduced. Played pretty constantly until right around the oceans update, and then I got distracted and fell off.
Now looking at it there’s so much it seems almost unrecognizable.
I got Minecraft on the Xbox right around TU 3/4 (probably TU 3 since I believe TU 4 added horses and those were only added after I started playing). I would play almost daily with my Younger Sister until we both ended growing apart. The game really has grown a lot. Sometimes I can’t tell if something is a mod or vanilla when I see a post online.
Those oldest memories of Minecraft are the most peculiar of them all. I still remember starting with either the last Alpha release, or the earliest Beta release. I had come across a comic (using screenshots from the game) of Steve looking out into the night and seeing a single pair of red eyes in a distant hill. He looks out again and a monster is looking back in (or something like that). Always wanted to find that comic again. Anyway, that was my extent of knowledge going into the game. I knew there was mining, night time, and monsters.
I remember digging a hole into a hillside to survive my first night. There was a single torch placed outside of the hole, and throughout the night I watched various animals gather around the entrance to look in at me. I remember feeling awful, thinking they wanted shelter from the monsters outside, but realized while looking back much later that they were just spawning in my torchlight.
I also recall finding sort of a canyon or mountain pass with lava flowing into it. There was a small doorway or opening on one cliff face, and several flaming poles between it and the other side. It looked like an altar of some sort. This was back when lava/fire burned leaves and left the stumps to burn eternally, but in my inexperience I thought these were pyres placed deliberately by some entity, and began to worry there was truth to the Herobrine myth. Maybe other players were in my world.
Early Beta Minecraft was interesting because it felt like anything was possible. The documentation was not like it is now, so it felt like there was a lot more. That was probably enhanced by me being an imaginative kid at that time. The early generation kept things weird and fun. I miss those days.
Some of the oldest memories I have of Minecraft are Me and my Sister spent our entire summer looking for Herobrine (we did totems, rituals, even Herobrine “seeds”), we built this really cool multi story house for us to live in (and then I promptly evicted her after she stole one of my cats), then we compromised and built a brick house for her in a swamp.
Those early memories are some my favorites, I wish I could get back to them, even just for a moment.
