If your job had an Order 66....what would you have to do?
- I work in a room that has a "kill switch". It's a button, that when pressed, will shut the system for the entire building down. It's never been pressed where I work but at least once a year we get a company wide email explaining the procedures for pressing the button. It's usually pressed accidentally due to ignorance but I know at least one time it was pressed by someone who quit, on their way out.

- I worked at a Starbucks a while ago and we had this very unpopular (at our store) mango drink which had a mango puree that came in big jugs.
We had a ton of it in the back due to the thought we would have high demand on launch day... well we didn't so all we ever used was the normal weekly amount that came in. So that large stockpile in the back was left dusty and untouched.
Fastwoard a few weeks and we get a phone call from our nearest store saying our internal quality assurance reps had just visited and they were on their way to our store. So we begin feverishly cleaning to make sure we got a good score. Our store manager then saw the 30 jugs of Mango Puree that were about 2 days from going bad (which is considered bad to QA) and panic attack.
Each jug would have been a point deduction which would fail our store so she runs on to the floor and grabs me.
'Dump Everything!"
So Here I am with big jugs (lol) in both hands, dumping mango puree down the drains as if it were cocaine and the Feds were knocking on the door.
It felt more like that scene in Goodfellas than Order 66 but still pretty close.
**EDIT** To all you FIFO nazis... this was a strange shipment that came before that normal weekly truck. It ended up sitting in the back, in a place we don't usually have that type of product and thus became kind of forgotten. Our normal shipment orange goop went to the normal shelves and was 100% FIFO ... but QASA would be very proud of you guys!

- I would just destroy the inventory database and delete it from the system.

- Oh shoot...so lawyers have an ethical duty to always keep conversations with our clients in the strictest confidence.
Would Order 66 for a defense attorney just be going to a judge or the press with all of their client files like "yep, these ones definitely did the murders, have fun"

- Probably kill all the younglings.

- We do have one - dump the old beer. We're told it's for the greater good, but still feel bad doing it.

- Re-route all TV voice commands to return Fox News, where the pundit is explaining why the Jedi need to be removed.
"Go to HBO" -> Fox News
"Browse movies" -> Fox News
"Open Netflix" -> Fox News

- I ship to boot camp in two weeks, so it would probably be a similar concept for the military.

- Well, Order 66 is to kill the Jedi in response to treason against the Republic, so I guess I'd go hunting Jedi, even if it doesn't really make sense here.
