Throwing Out Or Throwing Up?
(The cat food production line has started to reek, so when I have some downtime, I go through and find out that line workers have been just putting open, rotting, maggot-infested boxes of cat food under tables, maybe to hide them. I get a bin and some gloves and start throwing the opened and contaminated stuff into the bins. A new guy walks up to me.)
New Guy: “Are you just throwing those out?”
Me: “Yep.”
New Guy: “Can we take them?”
Me: *looking horrified* “What?!”
New Guy: “Well, if the company is throwing them out, can we take them?”
Me: “You don’t want them! Do you smell that? Do you see the things moving?”
New Guy: “Well, some look okay.”
Me: “They are contaminated. I’m throwing them into a special large trash can, which is locked… and now I know why.”
