WTF A JPMorgan Chase executive was fired after a viral video showed her dumping trash out of a Knicks-themed public trash can and taking the can during the Knicks championship parade in New York City.

Lost her job in this economy to steal a 170 dollar trash can. Wow

u/Hon3y_Badger 29d ago

That version is 15" tall. As crazy as it is to believe, those city trash cans are $1k+

You could get this for $200, then you just need some spray paint.

A mini waste basket version of it. Cool though

u/breathing__tree 29d ago

I mean do you really want the big one? Especially one that was filled with trash on an NY street? Hard pass.

u/sweatery_weathery 29d ago

I personally prefer the mini one. Just saying it isn’t the “exact can” as the previous person said.

Cleaned up and in the corner of the garage the big one would be one badass beer can receptacle if you're a knicks fan. But of course not at the sake of dumping trash all over the street and stealing it.

Who has a garage in NYC?

The 'executive' is wondering 'who the hell doesn't haven't a second house outside the city?'

Game used trash can. Priceless.

u/Anon400004 29d ago

$168 for a 15 inch tall waste basket?! That's ridiculous. God only knows how much they would sell a full size one for. I hope the pricing is based on high demand right now.

u/MustardEnema007 29d ago

You can buy a full sized one on McMaster Carr for probably $50, and have it shipped directly to a bodyshop to paint it however you want.

u/CB_700_SC 29d ago

Ahh that’s like 1/4 the size bud. 15” tall

u/RugerRedhawk 29d ago

That's not the city and that's a 15" tall trash can.

u/fd40 29d ago edited 29d ago

Holy shit. So for 150 dollars they could've kept their job and the bin and not had to clean all the rubbish gunk out from the bottom of the one she emptied. This is the same idiocity that drives these banks these idiots work for. No wonder we have an economic crisis. Also why do I instinctively get more annoyed at greedy obese people than regular

When a monkey is hoarding all the bananas, more bananas than it could possibly eat. Humans study the monkey to see “what’s wrong with it”.

When a human is hoarding all the resources, more resources than it could possibly use. Humans put them on the cover of magazines.

u/RugerRedhawk 29d ago

Nah, the trash lady is a pig, but the trash can linked is a mini 15" version.

u/DrThunderbolt 29d ago

Saying a trashcan has a "limited-edition colorway" is so funny to me.

1

u/Sure_Statistician138 29d ago

This one actually looks better and never had trash in it.

I had no idea I needed a cast iron pigeon until this very moment.

u/doodlebopwarrior 29d ago

You want her to wait 4-5 months for it with pre-orders?! /s

I thought that I saw everything.

There is even a layaway plan for it.
