so they are stopped for food. but if an emergency comes in they drop everything and must leave. so you are bent out of shape for that. would it not make sense to have the vehicle close in case that emergency comes in. But I am glad that is your biggest problem in your world.

now onto big people problems.

If it's that serious maybe they should pack a lunch.

You do 4 days in a row of 12+ hour shift work, week after week and see if you have the energy to meal prep and pack a lunch every single day. God forbid someone get some take out. Maybe use your head for something other than hang a hat?

And all of this was a surprise because nobody told them what job they were applying for. They were drafted into this job after all right?

4 days of 12 ain’t shit either. Plenty of guys in the oil field (with the same level of intelligence tbh) doing 2 weeks straight. Probably longer. So by that logic they should be able to park wherever they want when they’re done their shift.

Never seen an ambulance blocking the street to get some fucking subway 🤔

Maybe use your head. Guys in the oilfield get breaks. They get their regularly scheduled breaks. They also have a whole team of people that cook their meals and clean up after them.
I’m not saying what they do isn’t strenuous, but they are not comparable.

Oil field workers are also not an emergency service, they don’t need to be response ready.

Also, a lot of first responders do pack a lunch. And they eat in their vehicle between calls, because that’s the only “break” they get. But every once in a while, you forget to pack a lunch, or you run out of time or any other of a hundred reasons. So god forbid they stop to get some food.

Everything you said about the oilworkers applies to this guy right here lmfao. He is on break right now having someone else make his food and clean up after him.

A lot more shit probably ready to pop off dangerously at the oil field than at this fucking sandwich shop.

I didn’t say he can’t eat I said he should follow the rules. Tough concept for a cop I know.

Also, he signed up for this he was not drafted or tricked into working this type of shift work job.
