    It probably would have taken less effort to get another job at a different restaurant. Why would you even want to go back to work at a place where you think the manager is a bitch?

    It’s generally a bad idea to create fake Google accounts, if you have a primary account you don’t want banned.

      Be smart about it. Use a clean system unrelated to anything else. Spawn a few cheap VPS instances with smaller providers, use them as VPN endpoints. It is a bit of effort and it doesn’t scale well, but for a single purpose like this it is possible.

      Is this in their TOS somewhere? I am 99.99% this isn’t enforced and there are many professional and private reasons to have multiple accounts.

      Edit: I guess if you actively try to cheat the system by exploiting multiple accounts. But i thought the post was a possibly fake funny and not a suggestion/endorsment.

    When managers chase arbitrary targets, they make arbitrary decisions, which can be easily manipulated.
