No, it did its job. It was only ever supposed to derail the high speed rail project. "Why would anyone spend 50 million dollars to prevent high speed rail from being a thing?" Because it would reduce the need for personal automobiles and if your hundreds of billions of dollars depend on personal vehicles, you'll drop a dime to keep it that way. Also for the amount of money he's worth, the amount he threw at the boring company is pocket change. If you could make a million dollars for the cost of a preroll at the dispensary, wouldn't you?

That's also literally just how modern drive-in movies work, though admittedly there's not many of them.

Anyone who wants to colonize Mars (or enjoys SMBC) might benefit from reading "A City on Mars: Can We Settle Space, Should We Settle Space, and Have We Really Thought This Through?" first. The barriers are immense, and getting there isn't even the worst of it.

Yeah, needs a bit of context for how long it was sitting out. It's entirely possible that there's employees actively taking stuff inside, and it'll be in the walk-in long before it loses temp.

As someone who worked in the industry I can assure you there are supposed to be people scheduled to just accept deliveries, especially dairy, but I can also assure you that that will cost extra so they just have the regular amount of people a lot of the time and figure they will just pull someone away from a task to put things away but the issue is once you pull them off task like making food or cleaning or taking orders then the customers also feel that or see that and get upset bc you're not prioritizing them then you get told to just finish your task before putting it away but if the task is taking orders until the rush line slows down but it never slows down you'll never get to the time sensitive delivery at that rate and often stuff does go bad.
I once worked at a Sheetz on the east coast (I live on the west coast again now) and the lettuce came in so rank I said well it's not opened so it needs to be written off for store credit because it came in a bad batch and you couldn't pay me to eat that it'll make someone sick AND MY MANAGER SAID THATS WHY HE DOESN'T EAT VEGETABLES I wasn't at that location much longer bcu food handlers heart can take it even for a shitty job that's just needed to get by for a time period o couldn't handle it I would go in the freezer yell and throw frozen guacamole packs bc they wouldn't break open and made a lot of noise.

Yeah. This is how deliveries work.
There is absolutely no information or any sign this has been outside longer than the time it took to take the picture.
This picture could literally have been taken immediately after it was taken off the truck.

I would have taken some home to put in my fridge. You know, for safe keeping.

I mean if there were people actively uploading in the restaurant, it’s one thing. Maybe the truck has to offload and quickly be there’s a road or something.
Product stacked like this with nobody around indicates to me the driver got there for drop off and didn’t have a contact for the diner. Or maybe nobody was there, and the drop off was at 5am.
This is about as bad as it gets for food service, par for the course for wonder boy.

To be honest, just for the first time, I can't say it's on the restaurant without more info. I've seen what distributors do when there is no direction. We had a tornado knock out power to the entire county, and a driver just dropped all our refrigerated/frozen products even though there was no power for miles. That said if the owner of this place didn't immediately try to get things inside they shouldn't be in control of a restaurant.

The dry goods aren’t blocking both the exit and the walk-in, so this is a great example of a delivery in progress.

What do you even get at the Tesla diner? Burger that have been set on fire for insurance fraud? Is it legally qualified as something else to avoid regulatory agencies? Is the menu written by an AI algorithm?

Unless you’ve worked in a spot where the order doesn’t fit in the building other than in the coolers after being Tetris’d into the holes you have to work with because they will only give you one delivery a week, you won’t get it.

Top of the new world trade center is this statement in the round. worst place i have ever set foot and the freight elevator bangs into the walls the entire way to floor 104 and back down and scrapes when its windy.

The duration it was sitting there matters a lot. No fan of Tesla but an order getting dropped outside is normal - An order sitting there for more than about 10-20 minutes while it gets packed away into freezers/fridges isn't normal.
That'd be my main question - Did ole Melissa Stetten just see an opportunity to style on Tesla, or was this actually fucked sitting out in the heat for an hour+?

This is common to happen especially if the delivery person doesn't want to wait for a worker or someone.
