Starbucks Fires Employee For Heating His Food In Company Oven

There can be many reasons for being laid off from your workplace including poor work performance, violating internal policies, and more. Well, here's another example of an employee being fired from his workplace for a slightly bizarre reason.  A man who previously worked for Starbucks was reportedly fired for heating his food in the company's oven. The alleged reason for the man's dismissal came to the fore in a very unusual manner. The employee who lost his job, shared a video on social media showcasing whatever happened during that time. The video also features the user holding what looked like a “notice of separation”. The clip shows the man preparing some steak at Starbucks. For a tacos recipe, he reportedly used the oven to heat up the steak. The video shows some text where the former barista wrote, “Goodbye Starbucks, that steak was fire”.

For the caption, he stated, “Steak so scrumptious HR investigated me for the secret recipe.” Take a look:

Starbucks doesn't allow its employees from reheating their personal food in the company's ovens. An employee of the coffee chain explained a few years ago on a Reddit thread: “Per Starbucks policy and food and safety procedures, we are not supposed to warm up our own personal food we bring from home in the ovens."

in starbucks

But not all employees get into such trouble. Many are even appreciated for the work they put in -- with some even going above and beyond their daily set of duties to help customers.

Once, a Starbucks employee ensured that a teenage customer was safe and did not feel uncomfortable at the coffee shop. He received a lot of appreciation on social media. The incident was shared by the 18-year-old's mother on Facebook. She stated that her daughter was all alone at Starbucks in the city of Corpus Christi in Texas. That's when an unpleasant incident occurred. She further stated, “My 18-year-old daughter was at Starbucks, alone, the other night. A man came up to her and started talking to her,” wrote Roberson in her post. The Starbucks barista immediately came up to her table on the pretext of giving a free drink and a message written on the side. It read, “an extra hot chocolate someone forgot to pick up. How grateful I am for people who look out for other people,” added the woman.

She further added, "My daughter felt safe and did not remove the lid, but let them know. She said the whole team was watching over her the rest of the time she was there."

Someone who seemed to be concerned about free school meals stated, “Heartbreaking and thank you for stepping up. BUT don't kids in this situation qualify for free school meals? Or is that not the case at colleges? No child should go hungry.”

A user shared, “Food is a basic need of everyone living, I know what it is like to go hungry for days. During the pandemic, I had to take care of my sick brother who has a heart condition. I starved so he could have enough to eat to maintain his diet.”

“I remember being in college and not having enough money for food. My stomach growled in class and it was so embarrassing. Then I noticed a grove of orange trees on campus and I felt so guilty for taking some but seriously they saved me,” someone added.

5 Delicious And Healthy Green Dips To Pair With Your Snacks

A good dip can make all the difference to snack time. Whether you're having good old pakoras or fancy spiced crackers, pairing them with the right dip is important. Many people simply eat tomato ketchup with everything. While this is certainly convenient, it does not bring anything new to the dish. Most varieties of packaged ketchup are also full of additives and preservatives that may harm your health if consumed in excess. So what should you do? The answer is simple: opt for healthy homemade dips. Just because a spread is nutritious does not mean it is less tasty. You can get the best of both - flavours and benefits - if you choose your ingredients smartly. Get started with these 5 easy recipes:

5 Delicious And Healthy Green Dips | Easy Homemade Dip Recipes

1. Pesto

The name 'pesto' is derived from the Italian word 'pestare', which means to pound or crush. Typically, pesto is made using basil leaves, cheese, pine nuts, garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper. For most of us, pesto is simply the green sauce used for making pasta. But this yummy blend of ingredients can be paired with a range of other dishes. You can spread this Italian sauce on your sandwiches, use it as a salad dressing or coat pieces of meat with it. Here are a few recipes that use this dip in unique ways. If nothing else, it's great to make and store this sauce to be enjoyed with any type of finger food. Click here for the full recipe for pesto sauce.

2. Guacamole

The key ingredient of this spicy Mexican dip is avocado. You don't need us to tell you how healthy this veggie is - its status as a superfood has been a well-known fact for many years. The dip also contains tomatoes, green chillies, onions and lime. A delightful explosion of flavours, guacamole is a chunky dip that is super simple to make at home. Click here for the full recipe.

We assure you, the result is sure to be a yummy twist of taste. Here's a list of not one, but five ways of making this dip at home.

Guacamole meets Hari Chutney in this unique dip. Made using avocados, cilantro, parsley, garlic, yoghurt and seasonings, this relish can be an impressive accompaniment to any appetiser. Each ingredient takes the dip up a notch - in the end, you get a relish that is full of nutrients and flavour unlike any other. Click here for the full recipe.
