Entertaining thread, although being Reddit, you wonder how much is truth, semblance of truth, distortion of truth, outrageous lying and political falderal.

Pei Wei's chicken lettuce wraps? The chicken is the fatty bits we cut off during morning prep work. Whoever carves the chicken all day just gets a little sloppy so that the pieces he cuts off are 80 percent fat and 20 percent meat, then it all gets minced in a meat grinder. Its one of their top sellers and it costs the company next to nothing, since the alternative is throwing away the fatty pieces.

edit: just remembered that since PF changs is the parent company of Pei Wei, I am 99% sure this applies there as well. A lot of our recipes were identical to pfchangs recipes.

edit 2: a few fellow PF Changs/Pei Wei workers have confirmed this happens at PF Changs as well. Shout out to my fellow workers, and thanks for stopping by.

AMR - America's largest private ambulance company

Contracts with counties will specify response times that they need to meet to remain in compliance. Typical response windows are about 10 minutes in heavily populated areas and 14 minutes or more in more rural areas. This compliance usually needs to be maintained to 90% or higher for all 911 calls generated.

Several times this year we've been "too good" and been running compliance up at 98-99% for the month. AMR's response is to cut staffing hours to save labor/diesel costs. They are willing to be late at the end of a month because they know they'll still hit their monthly compliance requirement.

I personally think that's despicable. Even though MOST 911 calls are BS and not a medical emergency, somebody that needs a defibrillator RIGHT NOW could have a reduced chance at survival in the name of pleasing "corporate" and ultimately the shareholders.
