'The company makes $300 a day on this': Servers scoff at the chance to win a $5 'prize' when the restaurant holds a contest for employees to upsell customers

Anytime there's a contest at a minimum wage job, it seems like whatever corporate baboon who thought of the idea has never actually stepped foot into the establishment they're attempting to manipulate. As out of touch as corporate contests are and no matter how pathetic the 'prize' is, there are still desperate employees who take part in the event– whether it's selling company credit cards, upselling desserts, or pushing more product out the door– the real winners at the end of the day are always the C-level suit monkeys counting their bonus checks and buying yachts.

So look closely at that $10 coffee shop gift card you won and think about the thousands of dollars you just earned your company's CEO. Feeling angry yet? In our next story, the servers of a popular chain restaurant were up in arms when their store manager announced the most pathetic contest ever thought of, where servers had the chance to win a prize worthy of a kindergarten class… *drumroll*… a crisp $5 bill.

Scroll for all the fiery details and a server's lament that'll make you want to polish off that old torch and pitchfork in your garage.
