RootBeerGuy, Guys, this is satire. And old, the guy posted it for comedy some time ago. Not seeing anyone calling this out, so just FYI. No need to get angry over this.
MonsiuerPatEBrown, The Gervais Principle has labeled them as “clueless”
That is straight up Michael Scott doing business travel.
DeadNinja, Can clearly see the Salmonella grinning from inside of that…enclosure…
RIP_Cheems, Do we really have to make a new label because of him?
LemmyIsFantastic, Pretty obvious this was satire.
Akasazh, (edited ) A friend who is an airline pilot once told me one of the stewardesses made hamburgers on the hotel room iron, to safe money. They actually get an allowance to eat at the location, still she did that. So stingy.
Uncle_Bagel, They get paid a set amount every day for food, regardless of what they get. If you are getting a flat rate $50 per diem for food, it makes financial sense to eat cheap and pocket thr difference.
kautau, There’s eating cheap and then there’s making hamburgers using an iron in a hotel room cheap
Akasazh, exactly
Makeitstop, Steamed Hams.
InEnduringGrowStrong, And then I wonder why the hotel room iron is all kinds of fucked up.
Akasazh, Hamberder gunk
sxan, An allowance sounds more like something added to their paycheck, rather than something they expensed. If that was the case, and they got to take home the allowance… well, heck. Ten bucks is ten bucks.
thatsTheCatch, It’s excellent satire

Today.com - Man posts about cooking chicken in a hotel’s coffee pot — and the internet exploded
smackjack, Now I’m curious. Would this actually work? Just how hot does that heating plate get?
middleman35, I mean, you can cook a chicken by slapping it…
ech, Looks like it hits at least ~170^o^F, so you could slow cook tiny meals in it.
Raiderkev, It reminded me of this vid my buddy posted in discord the other day. 🤢
hansl, It boils stuff so at least 212*F. You’d need a lot of time to cook it.
You could boil it I guess. Boiled chicken isn’t TOO bad.
IHaveTwoCows, The warmer plate does not boil things
smackjack, I could see a fancy outdoorsy type of coffee maker being able to boil water. Collect your water from the river, boil it, and make some coffee.
hansl, Oh I thought it was like a kettle he was using.
captain_aggravated, Here’s the problem: a coffee pot gets hotter when there’s water going through it.
The same heating element that warms the bottom of the carafe also heats a small section of tubing meant to boil water. This, along with a simple check valve, forms a bubble pump, which is how the hot water gets up to the coffee grounds.
There’s a thermal switch that allows full power when that coil of water is below a certain temperature, and when it gets hotter than that, it switches to a lower power mode, because with no water to boil, all it needs to do is keep the carafe warm. I don’t have the numbers in front of me but I doubt it would get hot enough to properly cook chicken.
filcuk, Chicken soup it is
captain_aggravated, Actually I think that would work.
Bombyk0l, It does, there are multiple people on youtube that have effectively cooked soup in their coffee machines and used other appliances for food like the dishwasher for example.
RampantParanoia2365, I’d fire him for being mentally unbalanced, with this post as my hard proof.
magnetosphere, Nobody will remember them saving a few bucks. What they will remember are the sick days when this moron isn’t in the office.
DrPop, When the company gets billed for replacing the coffee maker every time you stay at a hotel they will do something other than promote.
PR3CiSiON, Super double promote?
Klear, Exactly.
Etterra, Dude, your company does not care in you in the slightest. ALWAYS take corporations and the government for every cent you can legally claw out of them. Because they will screw you over as hard as they can the second they feel like they can make more money and get away with it.
explodIng_lIme, I never ate as much sushi as I did while travelling. Expenses are there so you can focus on doing the work.
teft,
Aquila, How to say you have crippling social anxiety without saying you have crippling social anxiety
magnetosphere, (edited ) Then they should order delivery or something. Food poisoning is not the answer.
Yeah, dealing with the delivery guy might be unpleasant, but paramedics and the hospital staff will be MUCH worse.
EnderofGames, Food poisoning would be the crippling part.
Kalkaline, What a psychopath.
