Their beef is actually never frozen, and they'll send them back if they get packed with frozen items. They turn away shipments for things like meat (in boxes) touching produce (in boxes), like they should but no one else does. They send back expired or off-batch produce (ex: their tomatoes are usually picked a couple days before the store actually recieves them), which they should, but no one else does.
I still don't eat fast food, but I like to see food quality taken seriously.
A lot varies by region because that's how food distribution works.

Your rank within it can heavily influence the number of secrets you learn about your industry. A 2024 survey revealed that executives are 2.5 times more likely than entry-level employees to trust their CEO’s transparency about what’s really going on within their organization.
On the other hand, associates tend to trust their coworkers more than leadership, feeling more in tune with the pulse of the workplace from a peer perspective.
Notably, job level emerged as a more powerful predictor of these trends than income.

We got in touch with the author of the post, and they shared that the idea to ask Redditors this question came from a simple desire to rack up internet points.
"I was thinking of 'karma farming,' so I posted multiple NSFW questions," F_the_Market told Bored Panda. "And this one simply received the most attention (I deleted the other questions)."
The resulting discussion proves that even a playful question can spark meaningful, thought-provoking conversations among strangers online if you strike the right note.

We get calls every day from patients asking for ways to make their medications last longer, skip doses, etc. Because they can't afford their meds until they stop calling because they skipped 1 too many doses.
And we know this is happening and there is nothing we can do about it.
I've taken one of those calls told a patient that if they don't take their medications as directed, THEY WILL DIE only for them to ask what their odds are of living without food. Only to go back to the register and continue getting patients their medication.
It sucks a lot.

**Not all doctors are good at their jobs.**
I use to assume that doctors were held to such a high standard that they were all fairly competent. This isn't true.
I would recommend asking someone in the field who they would recommend for their own family before picking a surgeon.
F_the_Market said that they themselves only managed to get through a few dozen answers before being flooded by an overwhelming number of responses.
As they tried to keep up, they quickly realized the depth and variety of the answers far exceeded their expectations. "The ones I did see were incredible and very personalized," F_the_Market explained.
The Redditor said what initially seemed like a lighthearted attempt at "karma farming" turned into something much more meaningful, and they appreciated the glimpse they got into the inner workings of various fields that many don't consider until they ask.

The fact that 7 in 10 American workers reported disruptive change within their organization in the last year also doesn't help their trust in each other, the organization, and, in turn, the industries. According to a nationally representative Gallup survey of 18,665 people, 20 percent cite a large or very large extent of change. These changes range from restructuring efforts to shifting return-to-office expectations to new leadership and more.
However, while difficulties often affect frontline workers, in the current business environment, leaders and managers are 56% more likely to experience extensive disruptive change in their organization.

The places they get their inventory from overseas are not using eco friendly packaging. Go to a container shipyard, everything is shipped to minimize cost.

Getting an ambulance ride doesn’t get you seen at the hospital faster. They just triage you (sort you by severity) like everyone else. You can get an ambulance ride for a broken finger and then sit in the waiting room for 6 hours, having just wasted the money on an ambulance.
Call an uber or get driven/drive yourself.
Edit: Yes people, if you’re having an emergency definitely DO call and ambulance, and you probably WILL get seen right away.
However, you’re not being seen right away BECAUSE you took the ambulance, you’re being seen right away because you’re critically ill/injured. If someone were to drive you while you’re having a heart attack (which I DO NOT recommend) then you would be seen right away as well. It’s an injury severity thing not an ambulance vs taxi thing.

Also medical error kills somewhere between 250,000 - 400,000 people a year in the US. No one knows the exact number as medical errors tend to be underreported. Because who wants to admit they may have killed a patient and throw away their lucrative career that they slaved away in school for many years to achieve?
People are horrified when a single jumbo jet crashes and 500 lives are lost. And it is a big news story with lots of coverage when it happens. But the conservative estimate of 250,000 lives lost each year due to medical error is the equivalent of 500 jumbo jets crashing every single goddamn year– and no one talks about it. Not a peep. It is happening silently in hospitals all over the country, including the one in your town. This issue is highly underreported.

After a 8 years of framing houses, 3 as a foreman, and now 3 years of trim carpentry, Iv realized that the vast majority of houses aren’t built to code, or are just slapped together with the cheapest products.
Most inspectors aren’t willing to crawl around in the roofs, and won’t look in the subfloor, and plenty of contractors know this. They will take shortcuts, splice things together or will block off and hide s****y work.
If you have an island in your kitchen that has been framed, there is a phenomenal chance that you have some pizza crusts, Modelo bottles, or a p**s bottle hidden inside. Drywallers seem to hate walking their trash to the dumpster.
100 year old houses are a thing of the past.
