just so y'all know
if you're ever renting a space like a pool as a random nondescript example and you want the staff to like you
feed them
bring enough food for the staff to eat and share with them
The speed with which angry tired and cranky teenagers flip from grumbling about cleaning up after your mess to singing your praises is phenomenal

I have watched my coworkers look over the party room in dismay as the realization sinks in that yes
we are going to have to mop this room again even though we mopped literally two hours prior.

and then an emissary from the party walks up to us and asks "hey do any of you kids think you can eat some of this food? we brought too much and we'd hate for it to go to waste :/"
the joy
the wave of excitement that sweeps through us
not a single word of complaint will be uttered as we mop the floor again

because at least we aren't working on an empty stomach
at least the mess was not made out of a lack of consideration for us and our needs
at least we can wipe the tables down with one hand and stuff pizza in our face with the other

when Fred from Big Hero Six says "nothing is better than free food unless it's moldy"
when Odin says "praise oft is earned for naught. With half a loaf and a tilted bowl I have found myself many a friend"
y'all you best believe that is the truth
