Ironically, at my retail job, I reckon I'm more likely to lose weight thanks to 'peak', followed by the usual post Xmas cutbacks resulting in fewer heads.
This might turn into a positive though, since it could allow me to regain with a softer belly using double cream in spring.

Casual Gainer:
I live with someone who works at a small supermarket who regularly gets free food which would otherwise end up in the bin, will see/buy discounted food and of course has a staff discount.
The job can be quite physical though.
Occasionally they get me something though, such as the 1000kcal bag of cookies I just ate.

I don’t know, I didn’t gained much weight, working as cashier on a supermarket.
I would say that working on a Pizza place did. The owners would let us eat as much as we wanted and I found myself gorging on a lot of pizzas, made me hungrier and I ate a lot, although I gained just a little, maybe because it was years ago when I had faster metabolism.
YMMV, I reckon 90% of their freezer is free food and even then they still use some of mine.
If they actually ate enough of it, I reckon they'd start to put on some weight.
Just working in a junk food place doesn't guarantee free food either. IIRC someone I knew only got a free meal on extended shifts.

Whilst my portion sizes are around the same, I now find myself wanting to eat more often, whether it be snacks or full meals.

I'm from the UK so I don't know how much this will apply.
For McDonald's, check the app for any offers. E.g. Monday they regularly do things like discounted food items and they have a loyalty scheme.
Check your local area for any other chains or independents which might offer better value.
Food delivery apps also regularly do offers, I'm getting offers for half price fruit and veg on Mondays from Uber eats and from others things like 20% off one or two days a week.
Check if the supermarkets have something like a rewards programme which might help a little one way or another.

I find after a few weeks of an 'active' gain with double cream I need to stop for a bit.
Although I feel like long term my appetite has slowly increased and it's more my job now which hinders me from eating more, since I seem to be eating more on my days off.
That said, I would look at what/how you are eating in case there are ways to assist e.g. switching from larger meals to eating 'little and often'. I personally have never been fond of over eating in a single meal.

Don't know about the US, but over here in the UK the app occasionally has discounts and there's a rewards programme.
Had quite a bit of McDonald's last two weeks thanks to some deals.
Also, check your local area for any independent/small chain restaurants as they can be better e.g. value, taste, options, etc.
If you do use food apps, check the restaurant directly as they may be slightly cheaper.

Last time a family member commented on my weight I just said I don't care anymore and I'm just doing what I want now.
There are of course other factors e.g. I've always been at least overweight.

I've messed around with stable diffusion and img2img.
Yes it's doable to some extent but it's not that good.

Probably heavy/double cream is the easiest along with finding ways to add extra food e.g. snacks on breaks, etc.
If eating large portions is a problem, consider a 'little and often' approach.
With double cream I find it easiest to just blend around 200-300ml with some ice cream and a drop of milk using one of those small 'smoothie blenders' (because it's easy to clean). Just make sure to have eaten something 'solid' first to avoid....complications.
