And they are pretty nice muffins... I have dined there before. If I’d been the manager I might have first asked him if he wanted to donate to a muffins for strangers fund, maybe I’d even match the donation myself. To somehow get around the stealing issue. And donated muffins would have to be accounted for. Sometimes employers can get locked into rigidity due to lack of imagination, or maybe fear.
Great idea, because a restaurant can never have too many stinky bums hanging around looking for handouts.
Retail companies seem to be quite rigid when it comes to these issues. Probably the manager did what Corporate expected him to. Well, now they’re going to lose business big time for the next week over 5 muffins. Was it worth it? I don’t think so.
