Just to add, the workers comp premium for kitchen employees is stupidly low, like less than 1% of wages paid. They may have cheaped out on delivery drivers or classified employees incorrectly, since the rates for that are like 7% if memory serves and are supposed to be paid on wages and tips.

They most likely had workers comp insurance as you need to show a certificate to the city or town you operate in, in order to receive and maintain your common victualler license. Grafton is not the kind of town that will let you fuck around in this either.
The department of industrial accidents will also do stings and issue stop work orders ( which means in reality daily fine to stay open until you get coverage). They have guys that spend the entire day finding places that have their coverage lapsed or don't have it. They'll bust in the door with badges out like they're cops. You pay $250 for the day, call an insurance company and get a certificate emailed to you and you're good.
Although it's possible they didn't have coverage at all, I would bet this had to do with paying employees off the books, probably with one of them getting hurt and filling a claim. With no insurance paid and no wages to show, you've got a problem.

Definitely glue, I’ve seen it happen to soda cans my whole life. Now if you’ll excuse me, I could really use a nice cold Cranberry-Lime.

Yeah I've seen these too, it might be a way to keep the cans from moving around in the carton. Have you tried the Ginger Mule? It's really good. Also I've tried other brands like Schwepps, Sam's club and Aldi's imo Polar stands out quality wise and has a better selection.

And your generation has accomplished what????? (crickets) Oh yeah, you rocket scientists discovered hundreds of new genders, that men can get pregnant and menstruate and say that with a straight face. You're the ones I see masked up while alone and out doors or in you car, you're fucking amazing!! You're the ones that discovered the green miracle that is going to replace petroleum. Oh, it's electricity, isn't that generated by burning fossil fuels, hmmmm. You geniuses managed to destroy everything the Civil Rights Movement accomplished with your imaginary institutionalized racism, CRT, white privilege and racists under every rock. Fortunately older blacks aren't buying it. It's astounding the great leaps you've made. Why you've even made America a safer place by defunding the police because they're the problem not the criminals, right???? Brilliant, you guys amaze me. Is there anything I forgot? C'mon dazzle me you Mensan.

Fantastic Pizza on Main St in Worcester is run by some Indian folk, the food is real good, they even have some indian cuisine pizzas.

The Shack on Park Ave is also surprisingly pretty great, went there on a recommendation from an old boss. The owner is real friendly, he came out for a cigarette while I was eating and asked how the food was, chatted for a bit.

Unionforever? I didn't know McDonald's had a union. Is that the BFL (Burger Flippers of America?)

Pulled that one out of your ass. Wow. (said in my best Mike Ehrmantraut voice.) Yeah but we didn't have a government that exposed us to pathogens to sell dangerous untested vaccines. Are you up to date on your boosters? Better hurry, Pfizer wants to increase the cost of a jab by 400%. Surprise, Surprise, Surprise. (said in my best Gomer Pyle voice, you might have to look that up too, it's a boomer thing.) This is fun, got any more genius?
