Mac & Cheese Fraud and the Return-to-Office Circus | Ep. 325

In this episode:

• Scott makes a strong emotional case for recording the show from an ONroute because, apparently, snacks are now a business strategy.
• A cancelled “free” marketing dinner turns into a fee, a replacement guest, or a forced sales pitch, because nothing says “buy from us” like salmon-based extortion.
• Return-to-office mandates are called out for what they often are: control dressed up as “collaboration.”
• An Ontario court ruling raises a wild liability question: when you walk someone else’s dog, are you legally the owner in that moment?
• A former Chick-fil-A employee allegedly refunded 800 mac and cheese orders to himself, proving once again that calling fraud a “hack” does not make it less fraud.

Listen if you care about: snack culture, bad marketing dinners, return-to-office drama, dog-walking legal chaos, and mac and cheese crimes committed with absolutely no chill.
