Comment on Happy birthday, peon

  The more I look into the high-res picture, the more mildly bleak details I notice.

  • Torn plastic wrapping of tiny plastic bottles on the chipboard counter.
  • His sleeve is mildly dirty.
  • The shoes on the shelf seem awkward to access over the chair.
  • The whiteboard has permanently marked spots “use me to write” and “use me to clean”, both empty.
  • That “pizza” is barely an oversized muffin.
  • Fire prohibited.
  • The mirror is pretty dirty.
  • Corner of the steel cabinet is a bit bent.
  • The badly attached sheet of paper hanging from the whiteboard; you can’t read anything.
  • On the top shelf of the cupboard, something is kinda balancing there.
  • Cheap plates not perfectly aligned.
  • ROTATE:
    • ROTATE
    • ROTATE
    • ROTATE
  • The pedal on the trash bin is weirdly bent.

  Not that any of this really matters, though.

    I mean, I wouldn’t expect a supermarket break room to be immaculately kept. It actually looks alright. Depends on how good of a place it is to work, etc. My guess is that most employees usually book their birthday off, this guy didn’t (some people just don’t bother, which is understandable) and some colleague was like “we had to do something”, so got a pizza from what they were allowed. I think there are pictures far more depressing than this (like Amazon’s Christmas dinner which was probably an actual big organised thing for a mass amount of people).

    I know someone who works in a supermarket and colleagues usually give them a nice cake, but it’s passed its sell-by by a few days. It sounds depressing, but the cake is perfectly fine and would just be thrown out due to policy.
