The most ridiculous “perk” my ex-boss ever offered

In 2019 I worked at a company where I made $10.60 an hour. The boss was terrible for many reasons. One day he comes in with an assload of fortune cookies. He dumps them out on the conference room table for employees and tells us they are his treat. “They gave me extras at the Chinese restaurant because I come in often and am such a good tipper.” It was the saddest attempt to flex I had ever seen We get paid $10.60 an hour, I cannot possibly believe you tip well at restaurants It’s not even a pizza party! Or a food we enjoy/ asked for. Just random assorted fortune cookies. We just left them there and he threw them away after several weeks had passed.
