Here is what else is happening across the 'net.
🌯 This Chipotle customer is going viral for sharing how she got 4 free sides with a burrito bowl, calling it a "hack." However, viewers think she just got lucky.
📦 While Amazon has drawn criticism for its labor conditions, some users have recently gone viral and sparked discussion after praising Amazon Flex.
☎️ If you’ve ever had a phone call with a customer service representative mysteriously “cut out,” it could be that they’ve found a way to end the conversation without getting in trouble.
💼 A remote worker is going viral for sharing how to trick recruiters who ask for references.
🛒 A Walmart customer says she bought her son a hoverboard at the store—and then is claiming that a worker at that store “stole” the hoverboard.
💳 This former restaurateur says restaurants should be careful with prepaid gift cards, and warns that some restaurants may still be vulnerable to a scam servers in the 2000s used to get extra money at the expense of the restaurant.
🍗 In a viral video, a Western Oregon University athlete showed his college's offensive line taking the bottomless boneless wings challenge at Applebee's. Apparently more than 300 wings were "devoured."
🔪 These are the best slasher movies streaming now, so you can watch stab-happy lunatics terrorize teens from the comfort of your couch.*
📺 From the Daily Dot archive: Here’s why you can’t take a screenshot of a TV show or movie on your computer.

👋 Before you go
TikToker @wetthehell shared with her viewers how she planned on ending her relationship with her employer: by quitting in the middle of her break.
She documented her decision to do so in real-time, uploading footage of her mid-break walkout in a video that has gone viral, sitting at 1.3 million views.
Despite the bio of her TikTok page, which reads, “It’s rlly hard to be my mutual cus I post a lot of meaningless stuff,” she appears to have touched on a meaningful topic for her and several other TikTok users when she dropped her job without giving her supervisor a word, notice, or a reason.
In the 10-second long video, she addresses the camera and says, “My manager thinks I just clocked out for my break but little does she know I’m never coming back–ever. I’m going the f*ck home and I’m not coming back.”
