Office Samaritan vs. VP: A Lunchtime Saga
In a tale that’s equal parts heartwarming and maddening, our office Samaritan’s simple lunch pickups turned into a battleground over moral choices and corporate power plays. ✨ The clash with the VP over ‘forbidden’ eateries led to a dramatic disbanding of the popular lunch club. But not all heroes wear capes, and not all villains get the last laugh. With half the office cheering and the other half fuming, our Samaritan stood their ground, even facing down racial slurs and flying sandwiches. In the end, justice prevailed, and our Samaritan emerged with the option to work from home, a raise, and the respect of the big boss. As for the lunch club? It’s a no-go, but the memories of those mealtime rescues will live on in office lore. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this lunchtime legend’s bold moves…
