Working at Pizza Hut. It's close to closing time. Guy wearing a Supreme shirt came into my store, he had ordered 2 stuffed crust pizzas. He asked for ranch, I thought we were put so I said we were out. It was in the back. He asked 'you give anything out for free?'. I was kinda confused so I said we unfortunately don't, I didn't think he meant napkins or spoons, which are free. He asked for my name, my nametag is always on my hat. He could easily see it.
I said 'was there some sort of issue?' And he asks for my name again, I gesture to my nametag. "Oh. OK. Bye."

I don't know what to make of it.

He was gonna ask you out but you gave off bad vibes nice going

Odd

Someone asking if you give stuff out for free at closing time is generally someone hoping that you give out food that is left over at the end of the day that would otherwise go to waste.

And in number of those places it is the employees who load up pizzas for themselves using left over toppings.

Most places legally cant give out food to strangers in case someone gets sick and sues, from what ive been told.

Pretty sure wearing your name tag on you hat isnt part of the standard uniform and Im also pretty sure corporate frowns upon it, but yeah this all reads like soft quitting

On the flipside, it becomes totally legal if you donate to an organization that then passes the food off to strangers. A lot of super markets will do that, handing out food that hits the "sell by" date. But you still end up with stores tossing about 300 lbs of product per day as either garbage or compost as well.

Uhh...yeah, it is? Been working 4 going on 5 years. Have done this for that much time because the nametag will often get knocked off if I put it on my chest, and it's much more visible right next to my face where people will be looking if they request it. Lol. Name tags must be visible when a customer is facing you. And even if my body is tilted, I face the customer when I speak so they'll always see my name.

How is it soft quitting? Because I didn't realize we had extra(about 10 more) in the back? Because I didn't give him some items(that we can get in trouble for giving out)for free?

We never have leftover toppings, and we aren't allowed to take food home for ourselves unless we paid for it or it was a cancelled order. Boss is very strict about this.

Yeah, we partnered with a local organization and the company gets tax breaks because of it. We just have to record how much we 'dispose' of, tag it and bag it. They pick it up every few days.
