A community featuring uplifting and wholesome news stories that overlook deeply ingrained systemic problems.
The rules:
1. Your post must be an unironic presentation of a wholesome story, but one that overlooks systemic failures that made the story possible in the first place. In other words, we want posts that highlight "Yay, the problem is solved!", but ignore "Wait, why was this a problem in the first place?" at the same time.
2. Re-posts will be removed at mod discretion.
3. Sitewide rules apply. Basically, (a) don't be a dick; (b) use the NSFW tag; (c) no spam; (d) don't attack people; and (e) don't abuse the report button.

Oh, 100%. I had hoped to make it clear that the manager is just another person without any actual power. The only power they have is to not send them home and have them work the register instead of the fryer. That maybe the lowest tier power possible granting the largest yet meager favor they can stands out is, as you said, everyone else failing them.
Totes, I meant that as agreement and elaboration on what you were saying.
