I used to work at panera and everyone always talks about the “no onions” modification training video. It’s supposed to teach about the importance of getting everyone’s order 100% correct. They compare order accuracy to newborn babies getting mixed up at the hospital. It was something like “98% accuracy sounds great. BUt 2% WoULd bE a LoT oF bABieS sEnT tO tHE wRoNG fAmiLy!!!” and it goes on to show an example where a guy orders a sandwich with no onions and the line accidentally leaves them on. so the guy proceeds to be haunted by onions for the rest of the week and it starts raining onions and he falls to his knees dramatically and cries “I SAIID NOO ONIOONNNSSS”. Do with this information what you will.
I worked at Toys R Us back in 2012 and we had to watch a VHS training video from the 90's. It wasn't particularly weird, but they hammered in the point of making sure you don't stop someone shoplifting, in case they have a weapon and could kill you. It must have been at least 3 minutes long, telling us to NOT go after them or even talk to them. Let them take the item and call the cops, or you could get hurt. About a month or two later I was blamed for letting someone take an item instead of trying to stop them and was written up.
No wonder Toys R Us went bankrupt, those mf wanted you to sit there and let someone steal? My mates work got told to the exact opposite as you guys, "stop shoplifting, no matter what"
@@WhereAmIAndWhy usually big retailers have insurance to cover shoplifting and report repeat offenders to the police and they don't want to deal with employees getting hurt, so they just let it happen unless it's something really valuable.
@@adora_was_taken I know and I get it, I just think it's weird for some places to have rules on what to do and what not to do if a shoplifter is present.
I’m a nurse and when I started my career we had to watch a training and information video about doing the laundry on a ward and changing beds. It explained that as a nurse you should be prepared for "unexpected surprises" in the bed...and showed a nurse removing the covers of a bed to discover a perfectly formed shit, then a wine bottle and even a needle. It then explained how to make a bed.
I worked at Chuck E Cheese in 2007-2009 and two things I wanted to bring up: that costume wasn't so much about worrying to pass out as it was not being able to scream for help when children attacked you. One of my coworkers was clobbered with a broom while just doing some rounds about the store. I got crowded by the stage picture machine and all the parents just laughed and continued filming their party. Secondly, the only thing I remember about the training video at the time is they used Beck's music. I don't remember what songs, but I distinctly remember this baffling me.
I know it's been a year since this comment, but I have a vague memory of kicking a Chuck E Cheese that scared me in the balls so I apologize on behalf of all former children
My friends older brother had a mascot job and all that ✨jazz✨...all he could say is that it was a living hell 😅 (he worked as a mascot for a like small town diner-ish). Firstly, he said where he worked, you couldn't faint, take the head off, come out of character, ext. On normal days: He'd come in, around 8, before they opened. He'd go into the back, and his suit was his responsibility. So he'd brush it, polish the bits that needed it, and since his costume was so big and heavy and thicc, he'd have to change the padding on the inside of the suit, he'd have to spray it to get rid of any bad smells, ect. Then he'd put it on round the times where people would come in for lunch (mainly on weekends cause kids loved the mascot). He'd go back, try not to over heat, ect, then come back out, repeat. On Birthdays/holidays/celebrations: He'd have to come in early, suit stuff, then he'd have to put the mascot into another costume kinda thing (like, if Christmas, Santa. If like a spiderman themed party, he'd put the costume on) but since he had a big suit, he'd have to do that after he put the damn thing on. He said when he was working there as well, days where there'd be quite a lot of rowdy kids, they'd give him these weird like clippy things to keep pieces of the suit to be kept in place. He has a lot of funny asf stories from there. His words were "I'm glad the mascot is also an alcoholic, the least they could do is let me drink on the job" 😅 they would if it was a slow day without kids
Former Chuck E Cheese employee here: One thing they don’t prepare you for, when you put on the mascot suit for the first time, is your limited field of vision. I couldn’t see the 5-6 feet of the ground right in front of me unless I tilted my head down fairly significantly, due to the eye sockets of the mask being 6-7 inches away from my face. Once a small child sprinted up to me, surprising me so badly that I had no clue they were there. He kind of leapt at my legs and timed it poorly since I was in the middle of a silly dance move that required me to lift my leg up. Given that the mascot shoes are practically giant pillows, it trampolined the kid straight into the side of one of the arcade games and he flopped to the ground instantly. I stood there, frozen in panic, for I figured I just killed a kid. I quickly did a 360° and noticed nobody saw what just occurred, so I reached out to pat the kid on the shoulder. After 4-5 seconds, he eventually started making noise and opening his eyes. I was instantly on the other side of the building by the time he started crying. Never got in trouble for it and I still wonder if that little kid is alright. Pretty sure I obliterated his ability to do basic math... Also, I’ve played bar trivia with the guitarist for Bowling For Soup. So yeah...this video has really gone full circle for me lol
Jeez... I hope he got medical attention. That costume is a lawsuit waiting to happen! Is the Bowling for Soup guy good at trivia? I bet he knows a lot about things that happened in 1985.
The Walgreens anti-union video made it seem like unions were worse than shoplifters. Like union reps would loiter around the store like drug dealers peddling that higher wage, better benefits crap It was difficult not to laugh.
We had to attend an entire anti-union seminar at my job 🙃 like ik it's a company with decent benefits but what a way to make me want to start a union out of spite lmao
Dollar general had a horrible anti-union video too. It was laughable. They paid shit too. 9$/hour. And I don't even need to say this because everyone ever who has worked there will tell you this: worst place to work ever. No matter which one you work at
Home Depot snuck their anti-union speech into the "personal/customer security" section of their training videos. It was about keeping your signature secure and the example they gave was "never sign a union card!" and the union rep they had in the video was like, a customer in the garden department who tried to slide one of the employees a flier. Especially funny bc one of the three reasons I applied for the job (other than 1: I needed a job and 2: this was the gay location) was I wanted to try to unionize and that location was so high-traffic it'd be harder for corporate to shut down out of spite.
My doctor told me the same thing and I was like thank you my lord now I can leave the house without passing out and having horrific panic attacks or throwing up, but my doctor just said “relax” cure for all mental illnesses
I worked at a SUPER COOL PLACE that had these ICONIC golden arches and after about a year of working the night shift there, I started to realize that my paychecks were inconsistent. Turns out my manager, Amanda(this is her real name because she's an awful person, a thief, and I don't work there anymore because of this so FU) stole money from me every single check. She would log into our system and clock us out for a while,just to make her numbers look good. I caught her in the middle of doing this and, suffice to say, I quit. I also told every other employee that I could before I left and,after checking their respective pay stubs and realizing the validity of my statements, several others also quit. Ha-ha, Amanda.
@@vroomiez3485Lol, I didn't even register that Drew's wife had the same name when I posted this. Imma be more specific, her name is Amanda Jeffers. I want that shame all on her. She more than deserves it, she's literally stealing from children.
Seriously the way he said the lines (the ones out of these he had) was so unnatural.. It came off as creepy even though it was supposed to be friendly.
"stop calling me andrew because that's not my name" I have a friend named Drew. It is not short for anything. His name is just Drew. So when I want to use FULL NAME I say "Drawing".
I think it's adorable that you got trained at all. Literally every job I've ever had gave me the "we believe in you" attitude just before loosing me into battle like a noble archer.
I got hired at a new Denny's that was opening up. We got two full days of training, from two ladies from Corporate that got flown in from like Ohio or something. A few months later, when they had to start hiring more people to replace departures, the new hires had like one or two shifts to shadow somebody (somebody with zero training in how to properly train someone, btw) then got thrown into the gauntlet to sink or swim.
That's how most of life works, doesn't it? They just say, "You did it! You spent way too much time learning things that you instantly forgot! Okay, bye. Have fun paying taxes and working your minimum wage job, loser." By Sithis, I can't wait until I'm eighteen. It sounds great. I am going to kill myself. Hail Sithis. I wish to join our Dread Father in the Void.
I was forced to watch a video where a man got onions on his sandwich after asking for no onions. He proceeded to be haunted by onions for weeks and this all culminated to him smelling onions in his bed, when he pulled the onion out of his pillowcase he screamed into the camera for an uncomfortable amount of time before the screen went black.
Drew, from the bottom of my heart, guy to guy: it's okay to feel like shit from time to time and take time for yourself. The world can wait, man. Good video, thank you for your work.
I worked briefly at Cinemark, and they had a "training" video that more just seemed like propaganda for the company. it was a walking-dead style skit thing where they were the "working dead" and all the employees were being turned into zombies. so the two last employees had to find a tape after cleaning up some trash. so it was like watching a tape within a tape, and they made fun of 80s slang. they said that the thing turning everyone into zombies is that "people weren't caring enough about their jobs" and that "it only takes one person to start the infection". the reason there was trash around was cause "only an employee who cared enough to clean would be able to find the tape and save the Cinemark" so anyway they brought everyone back with a disney-channel original level inspiring speech about how you should put all your effort into working there. i think what made that whole goofy training video better, is that immediately after they cut to this incredibly dry, serious slide show about fire safety and fire-related theatre disasters. i left after 2 weeks lol
Why does the Wendy's training video look like something they'd put on cartoon network at 3 am on a school night. It literally feels like a faint memory
Yeh it feels like.. something I watched after doing a whippet when I was like 15 w my high school friends after sneaking back into my house or.... something idk
You make the joke about if you need to pass out don’t do it in front of the kids, but that’s actually a serious rule in mascot jobs!!! I was a monkey at a soft play centre for years and even trained others to do it, we had a signal too. Once a girl almost passed out and we basically dragged / carried her back to our changing cupboard instead of taking the head off in the room with the kids hahah
As someone who was a mascot in high school, the time out thing is also for kids that start getting rowdy (pulling on your suit, tail, ears, etc) so you signal your handler to get them tf off you before you have to drop kick them to Jupiter
thanks for the clarification. i however strongly dislike the fact that it’s called a ‘handler’ and not like... something that doesn’t imply the mascot is a dangerous animal
It reminds me of the video about the girl saying comedians and she goes "well my last boyfriend was really different from the other because I'm uh *hand down low* and he was uh *hand up high* addicted to heroin" 😭 idk if you know what I'm talking about but they have the same vibe 😭😭
I worked at Wendy's in the late 1980s and watched that video plus what seemed like countless hours of other weird videos only to be told by the manager that half of the stuff wasn't "done" at this particular Wendy's and that if we dropped a burger on the floor we should pick it up and serve it. Also, the second time I worked the cash register I served a man who stared at me in the most cold-blooded and terrifying manner while I took his order that I made my manager walk me to my car when I got off of work. It turned out he had committed 3 murders earlier that day in a neighboring state. Saw his picture on the evening news and my dad made me call the state police to give a statement. I think I lasted two months at that job.
@@TheTGOAC I get what you’re going for, but I wouldn’t use the word “phenomenal.” A very similar situation happened to my loved one in the 80s and she is scarred for life by the experience and thinking about the women who were murdered “in her place” :(
you might ask something like this: "Is it still hot out there?" or this: "Did you catch the game last night" or this: "Have you ever seen a grown man naked?" or this: "Do you ever hang around the gymnasium?" or this: "Ya like movies about gladiators?" or this: "Have you ever been to a Turkish prison?"
When I worked at Old Navy, after the store closed we had to listen to this god-awful "motivational tape" on the store speakers as we folded the loose clothes and tidied up. It had music, but between every song there would be this super peppy couple bantering about how to please customers. "Geez whiz Jen, what are some tips we can do to ensure all our customers are getting the best Old Navy experience possible? Well Steve, I like to push the performance fleece!" and so on. Man, it drove me IN-SANE.
Oh man, I worked at Old Navy a long ass time ago and I feel fortunate that we didn't have to do that. We turned the music off to make customers get out then left it off so we could hear each other talk shit about said customers
the Wendy’s videos are actually brilliant! Personally, being able to sing a little song in my head about the task while I do said task would be so helpful
dealing with anxiety is really hard, but the fact that Drew (not Andrew) not only handled himself but was able to create such good content which made me laugh so so hard while probably still dealing with his issues, is so inspiring.
I worked for my city's parks and recreation department a few years ago. The training video was a 20 year old VHS tape, in which my dad was the main actor. He went through how to use a backpack weed sprayer without killing yourself, how to use a riding lawnmower without killing yourself, how to cut down trees without killing yourself. I came home from work the first day and he says "So... how did you like the training video?" Instant classic
I work at a petsmart, and I spent 8 hours just on training videos. one of them in particular made me actually laugh out loud. It was a fire safety video, and the background actors were giving it their ALL. The two main characters (the manager and the intrepid new associate) would calmly go over the different types of fires, and then LEAVE THE FIRES UNATTENDED for the background people to put out. So in the background you'd see all these people scramble in a panic while these two idiots just made polite conversation next to a massive electrical fire
Julie looks so broken inside when the lady says “personal pan pizza” after she says “what more could a customer want. Like, Julie are you ok. It’s just pizza
At Chuck E Cheese’s they still have training dvds. It’s pretty boring normal stuff but it did dedicate almost a minute to telling us that if we lock our keys inside a room to call someone and not try to go through the vents to get into that room. It stuck with everyone and was a common to hear coworkers joking about climbing around in the vents.
Do you think they added that in the video because that's something an employee has done before? And they just really wanted to make sure that no one else would ever again? "No matter how much you might want to, please don't crawl through the vents. Seriously. Don't. It doesn't end well..." xD
It's hilarious hearing Drew's reason for quitting Wendy's. I had the exact same thing happen to me at Applebee's. I got a $9 paycheck and when I asked about it, they told me I called in on a Saturday and Sunday the week before (which wasn't true.) I quit shortly after. That Applebee's went out of business a couple years later.

i worked at wendy’s last summer. and i have some great stories: - my coworker and my manager would talk about selling their kidneys to make money - someone threatened to quit every shift - all the employees were ordered to write good reviews of themselves online - every once and a while there’d be actual human shit on the walls in the men’s bathroom. - my manager would roll a wheelbarrow through drive-thru during a downtime to keep numbers up - i offered dozens and dozens of free frostys to costumers that had a long wait - my friends uncle hit on me in the drive thru - the instructional videos we did get were like little mini games. “where do the fries go?” “how long do the nuggets stay in the fryer?” truly the best place in earth
My brother is currently working there and when they ran out of expensive lemonade they just told customers that the cheap lemonade was the expensive stuff. THEN they ran out of that and genuinely convinced like a dozen customers that the water was lemonade
At In-N-Out, I had a training video that talked about all the safety exits, and at one part the guy working the video dove out head first into a customer’s car. Never got the chance to try that one out though, which is unfortunate
When you talk to a costumer you may say things like "Did you catch the game yesterday?" "Are you enjoying the holidays so far?" "What's your credit card information?" "Would you like to make that a menu?" And dont forget the classics! "How can I help you today?" "Do you want to add a drink to your order?" "What's your opinion on the geopolitical climate during the German Revolution of 1848/49?"
You know, basic conversation starters such as “What do you think are some of the psychological effects the Three Mile Island disaster had on middle class central Pennsylvania?”
worked at macys for a few months before the pandemic started. we had to watch anti shop lifiting and anti union videos, but we also had to watch an instructional tape on what to do during a *mass shooting.* having actors with this same kind of stilted intensity walk me through how to help customers escape, how to hide, and barracade doors was....harrowing
i constantly think about this work training video i had for watch about stereotypes and comments in the workplace. this guy was stocking bananas and the two people in front of him said “oh look, a fruit stocking fruit” like that’s so funny omg
we had one on workplace harassment where the people were crazy australian and we were in an echoey room with a super quiet video, so no one could hear and we were all choking trying not to laugh but it was pretty clear that it revolved around a guy being pissed about gender neutral bathrooms and another guy having like a panic attack because of it and then a third guy confronted the first guy and he got pissed again but i don’t remember the rest
Frittelle they are! i used to listen to them all the time when i was younger. they have some really good songs that’s why when he pointed it out i was like oop-
"What do you mean in trouble?" You'd be surprised and disgusted at how bad things can go in those character suits. Once was volunteering at a local PBS event for kids that had a costumed character. The girl in the costume wound up getting really sick and actually threw up in the mascot head. Had to safely get her out of there without alerting any kids and without any of it coming out of the head, so the poor girl had to calmly walk back to the changing room with her own vomit right in front of her face. And that's just the extreme end. Normally there needs to be a handler and there's regulations on how long people can be in the suits for safety precautions too.
Yo I had to wear the mascot costume for a book drive I was volunteering for and it gave me so much respect for the people who do that everyday. I was sweating buckets and kids kept jumping on me and shaking the mascot head.
The Chucky cheese one is so wack, that "if you feel in danger, run to the back asap so the kids don't see" sounds almost exactly like the FNAF training phone calls
I started going to a therapist for Generalized Anxiety Disorder about 4 years ago and every year has been better than the last. I still have anxiety and that's probably never going to go away, but I've developed a lot of strategies (for both myself and my husband) to recognize when I'm getting swept up in the anxious thoughts and how to ground myself. Now instead of constantly being like "what is wrong with me, why am I like this, everything's awful" I can take a step back and say "hey that's my anxiety talking, let's get an objective opinion on the situation (usually my husband who is uber practical and logical and my rock)" In short, I can't recommend therapy enough. And finding a partner (whether a romantic partner or a friend or a relative) who can help you in your self-improvement journey is so so important. It does take work, but I promise things do get better. I believe in you, Drew, and all of you out there struggling with anxiety right now. You got this!
I worked at chuckecheese in 2011, I watched that exact outdated training video. I was the pizza guy but everyone had to take turns wearing the costume. So yeah......I've been in the rat suit. You're not allowed to speak while in the costume and the first time I wore the costume I walked out of the training room/costume closet a kid got scared of me and started crying. I apologized to the mom and walked away. My manager pulled me aside immediately and said these exact words "I don't care if that kid was crying, don't fucking talk in the suit." That place was a literal shit show. I ended up quitting because they wanted me to clean shit and vomit out of the tubes lining the ceiling that kids crawl through. I got that job thinking I was going to be making food. I barely made any food.
What did the manager want you to do then?! We're you just supposed to do hand gestures towards the mom? We're you supposed to ignore the kid and go back to dancing??
HELP MY!!! My muscles are too big! I am a big tall man and my muscles are even BIGGER! I use them to get views but they HURT so much!!! Because they are heavy. Do you have any advice, dear meanoe
I currently work at Wendy's and actually did watch training videos. They didn't have any people in them; it was just a voice followed by animated videos and pictures. There were also a few different quizzes and an activity where I had to correctly put the sandwiches together
“If you are ever in trouble throw up the time out signal” advice I will take into every situation possible. Getting mugged? Just throw up the “time out signal” and the mugger will stop.
I remember working at bed bath and beyond we had to watch 5 different training videos (and then individual classes on thread count, home care, French press, coffee and keriug maintenance, yankee candles, and bed making etiquette) and they were mostly boring aside from one made in the late80s/early 90s about how to politely accuse people of shoplifting. I worked this job 10 years ago and I still think about that video pretty often.
In regards to the anxiety thing, I can’t tell if you’re joking or trying to make light about the situation, but if you’ve been suffering from anxiety I’m glad you’re getting help and taking care of yourself, your mental health comes first
I hope you’re doing okay and getting the support you need. “I talked to my doctor and he told me to stop” made me laugh for an unreasonable amount of time. Been there pal.
I once was told by a psych that 'it doesn't matter why you have anxiety, you just need to calm down and stop it' 😅 needless to say I did not go back to him
Same. Just saying don’t do that doesn’t work, it’s unfair and unfortunate. For everyone here I hope y’all stay doing alright and have better resources now, thank you all.🤟 personally, if I can’t talk about my issues with ease or comfort, I have journals or draw. It can be relieving but everyone has different mechanisms to calm down.
@@similisticmurfur3964Journals and drawing are great mechanisms 😊 I also play video games and go on long walks to cope (though at the moment everyone in my state is locked down to their own suburbs so walking has gotten boring). Mindfulness is also a great tool when you get panicky. If you feel an anxiety attack coming on, look at five things around you and describe their colour and shape 😊 I sometimes disassociate from reality and so far that's always helped me get back down to earth
The long hair makes him looks like he’s either the main character in a vampire movie, or the love interest in the movie where he’s dumb and is catching feelings for the nerdy girl who helps him pass the important test coming up.
As a mascot I can confirm feeling in trouble does mean your about to pass out or you really need the restroom. I got heat stroke during a parade in summer I had to walk 1 mile in 96 degree weather. I had to signal my handler near the end, and I hopped in a car to take off head so I could breathe a little.
As someone who's had pet rats.... They're actually obsessively clean. To the point that they regularly groom their human owners... Yea rats think WE'RE gross lol (Seriously tho they can be litter trained - easily, bc they just go in one part of the cage usually, so you just.... Set up a litter box where they like to go. And they groom themselves and each other more than a cat does. It's actually super adorable bc they use their little hands to scrub their fur, and they hold their tails in front of their face to groom it and it's just - rats are great ok. Hell I even had one who, when given dry spaghetti, would use it to clean her teeth. And then she'd eat it but ye)
The level of how well my job treats me has been foreshadowed every time by how long training took. From worst to best, I got trained at my second job for an hour and a half, my first for half of my shift, and the third for two days (scheduled for three but we didn't need the third)
My mom is the manager of my local Burger King. As a young child, I spent countless hours in the back because fast food doesn’t pay well enough to afford a babysitter. They had a whole shelf of VHS training videos that I watched far too many times. My favorite was the one about making fries because the acting when a dude gets splashed with fryer grease was on point. Apparently, when Burger King added hot dogs in the 2010s, they made a training video with Snoop Dogg. It’s a pretty good one.
Taking people's lives? You can stop that Having anxiety? You can stop that I'm not sure if that's what you're referencing but the Dobre brothers sure are something lol
9:41 That mechanical pulsing sound is a snippet of "Welcome to the Machine" by Pink Floyd, in that Wendy's video of him starting the video. Very meta, and that song is about having a soul-crushing job as an artist at the top of your game in the music industry, so I guess that's a good fit for working at Wendy's.
@@gentlesandladymen We know there are people with real anxiety not everyone has a superiority complex where they make fun of someone for trying to be "different"

Do with this information what you will.
Cate Samosky my grandpa is allergic to onions so he probably would of died instead of being haunted
I think it's more of an allergy concern than anything. That 2% failure rate could kill someone who is not paying attention.

The amount of folks that go “WHATS THE DIFFERENCE?” Like.... it’s in the words. One is a return, the other is, you know, an exchange.
Felt
RITA why are you on every video I watch wtf
Lmao I feel you, I work in a call center
I used to work for a call center in their Toys R Us contract. It was.... unspeakable.
I worked at Toys R Us back in 2012 and we had to watch a VHS training video from the 90's. It wasn't particularly weird, but they hammered in the point of making sure you don't stop someone shoplifting, in case they have a weapon and could kill you. It must have been at least 3 minutes long, telling us to NOT go after them or even talk to them. Let them take the item and call the cops, or you could get hurt. About a month or two later I was blamed for letting someone take an item instead of trying to stop them and was written up.
Classic
ah, shitty gms who want you to sacrifice your life for your minimum wage job. tale as old as time.
No wonder Toys R Us went bankrupt, those mf wanted you to sit there and let someone steal? My mates work got told to the exact opposite as you guys, "stop shoplifting, no matter what"
@@WhereAmIAndWhy usually big retailers have insurance to cover shoplifting and report repeat offenders to the police and they don't want to deal with employees getting hurt, so they just let it happen unless it's something really valuable.
@@adora_was_taken I know and I get it, I just think it's weird for some places to have rules on what to do and what not to do if a shoplifter is present.

I’m a nurse and when I started my career we had to watch a training and information video about doing the laundry on a ward and changing beds. It explained that as a nurse you should be prepared for "unexpected surprises" in the bed...and showed a nurse removing the covers of a bed to discover a perfectly formed shit, then a wine bottle and even a needle. It then explained how to make a bed.

I worked at Chuck E Cheese in 2007-2009 and two things I wanted to bring up: that costume wasn't so much about worrying to pass out as it was not being able to scream for help when children attacked you. One of my coworkers was clobbered with a broom while just doing some rounds about the store. I got crowded by the stage picture machine and all the parents just laughed and continued filming their party.
Secondly, the only thing I remember about the training video at the time is they used Beck's music. I don't remember what songs, but I distinctly remember this baffling me.
I know it's been a year since this comment, but I have a vague memory of kicking a Chuck E Cheese that scared me in the balls so I apologize on behalf of all former children
My friends older brother had a mascot job and all that ✨jazz✨...all he could say is that it was a living hell 😅 (he worked as a mascot for a like small town diner-ish). Firstly, he said where he worked, you couldn't faint, take the head off, come out of character, ext.
On normal days: He'd come in, around 8, before they opened. He'd go into the back, and his suit was his responsibility. So he'd brush it, polish the bits that needed it, and since his costume was so big and heavy and thicc, he'd have to change the padding on the inside of the suit, he'd have to spray it to get rid of any bad smells, ect. Then he'd put it on round the times where people would come in for lunch (mainly on weekends cause kids loved the mascot). He'd go back, try not to over heat, ect, then come back out, repeat.
On Birthdays/holidays/celebrations: He'd have to come in early, suit stuff, then he'd have to put the mascot into another costume kinda thing (like, if Christmas, Santa. If like a spiderman themed party, he'd put the costume on) but since he had a big suit, he'd have to do that after he put the damn thing on. He said when he was working there as well, days where there'd be quite a lot of rowdy kids, they'd give him these weird like clippy things to keep pieces of the suit to be kept in place. He has a lot of funny asf stories from there.
His words were "I'm glad the mascot is also an alcoholic, the least they could do is let me drink on the job" 😅 they would if it was a slow day without kids
"Is this a return or an exchange?" "Yes" as a retail worker I feel this in my veins
Same, I’ve had that exchange before word-for-word with customers
yeah I get that a lot at my job dairy queen
they never like my tacos 😔
Money back and new product please! Oh come one the period stains on this remote control car aren't THAT big!

Former Chuck E Cheese employee here: One thing they don’t prepare you for, when you put on the mascot suit for the first time, is your limited field of vision. I couldn’t see the 5-6 feet of the ground right in front of me unless I tilted my head down fairly significantly, due to the eye sockets of the mask being 6-7 inches away from my face. Once a small child sprinted up to me, surprising me so badly that I had no clue they were there. He kind of leapt at my legs and timed it poorly since I was in the middle of a silly dance move that required me to lift my leg up. Given that the mascot shoes are practically giant pillows, it trampolined the kid straight into the side of one of the arcade games and he flopped to the ground instantly. I stood there, frozen in panic, for I figured I just killed a kid. I quickly did a 360° and noticed nobody saw what just occurred, so I reached out to pat the kid on the shoulder. After 4-5 seconds, he eventually started making noise and opening his eyes. I was instantly on the other side of the building by the time he started crying. Never got in trouble for it and I still wonder if that little kid is alright. Pretty sure I obliterated his ability to do basic math...
Also, I’ve played bar trivia with the guitarist for Bowling For Soup. So yeah...this video has really gone full circle for me lol

The Walgreens anti-union video made it seem like unions were worse than shoplifters. Like union reps would loiter around the store like drug dealers peddling that higher wage, better benefits crap It was difficult not to laugh.
We had to attend an entire anti-union seminar at my job 🙃 like ik it's a company with decent benefits but what a way to make me want to start a union out of spite lmao
Dollar general had a horrible anti-union video too. It was laughable. They paid shit too. 9$/hour. And I don't even need to say this because everyone ever who has worked there will tell you this: worst place to work ever. No matter which one you work at
Home Depot snuck their anti-union speech into the "personal/customer security" section of their training videos. It was about keeping your signature secure and the example they gave was "never sign a union card!" and the union rep they had in the video was like, a customer in the garden department who tried to slide one of the employees a flier. Especially funny bc one of the three reasons I applied for the job (other than 1: I needed a job and 2: this was the gay location) was I wanted to try to unionize and that location was so high-traffic it'd be harder for corporate to shut down out of spite.
Target has a special video for why they are antiUnion. Same with a local grocery chain I worked at for years.
@@wrexvincent all these comments are so wild, in my country it's illegal for a company to tell employees not to unionise

Turns out my manager, Amanda(this is her real name because she's an awful person, a thief, and I don't work there anymore because of this so FU) stole money from me every single check. She would log into our system and clock us out for a while,just to make her numbers look good. I caught her in the middle of doing this and, suffice to say, I quit. I also told every other employee that I could before I left and,after checking their respective pay stubs and realizing the validity of my statements, several others also quit. Ha-ha, Amanda.

I think it's adorable that you got trained at all. Literally every job I've ever had gave me the "we believe in you" attitude just before loosing me into battle like a noble archer.
I got hired at a new Denny's that was opening up. We got two full days of training, from two ladies from Corporate that got flown in from like Ohio or something. A few months later, when they had to start hiring more people to replace departures, the new hires had like one or two shifts to shadow somebody (somebody with zero training in how to properly train someone, btw) then got thrown into the gauntlet to sink or swim.
That is a fantastically worded metaphor 😸

I worked briefly at Cinemark, and they had a "training" video that more just seemed like propaganda for the company. it was a walking-dead style skit thing where they were the "working dead" and all the employees were being turned into zombies. so the two last employees had to find a tape after cleaning up some trash. so it was like watching a tape within a tape, and they made fun of 80s slang. they said that the thing turning everyone into zombies is that "people weren't caring enough about their jobs" and that "it only takes one person to start the infection". the reason there was trash around was cause "only an employee who cared enough to clean would be able to find the tape and save the Cinemark"
so anyway they brought everyone back with a disney-channel original level inspiring speech about how you should put all your effort into working there.
i think what made that whole goofy training video better, is that immediately after they cut to this incredibly dry, serious slide show about fire safety and fire-related theatre disasters.
i left after 2 weeks lol
minimum wage = minimum effort

The Game Stop skit hit way too hard for retail employees.
“Is this an exchange or a return?”
“Yes.”
You make the joke about if you need to pass out don’t do it in front of the kids, but that’s actually a serious rule in mascot jobs!!! I was a monkey at a soft play centre for years and even trained others to do it, we had a signal too. Once a girl almost passed out and we basically dragged / carried her back to our changing cupboard instead of taking the head off in the room with the kids hahah
Dang. That's impressive.
i went to a soft play centre with a monkey mascot as a kid and i was scared of him so i hid under the rolling play things when he arrived.
As someone who was a mascot in high school, the time out thing is also for kids that start getting rowdy (pulling on your suit, tail, ears, etc) so you signal your handler to get them tf off you before you have to drop kick them to Jupiter
thanks for the clarification. i however strongly dislike the fact that it’s called a ‘handler’ and not like... something that doesn’t imply the mascot is a dangerous animal

I worked at Wendy's in the late 1980s and watched that video plus what seemed like countless hours of other weird videos only to be told by the manager that half of the stuff wasn't "done" at this particular Wendy's and that if we dropped a burger on the floor we should pick it up and serve it. Also, the second time I worked the cash register I served a man who stared at me in the most cold-blooded and terrifying manner while I took his order that I made my manager walk me to my car when I got off of work. It turned out he had committed 3 murders earlier that day in a neighboring state. Saw his picture on the evening news and my dad made me call the state police to give a statement. I think I lasted two months at that job.

When I worked at Old Navy, after the store closed we had to listen to this god-awful "motivational tape" on the store speakers as we folded the loose clothes and tidied up. It had music, but between every song there would be this super peppy couple bantering about how to please customers. "Geez whiz Jen, what are some tips we can do to ensure all our customers are getting the best Old Navy experience possible? Well Steve, I like to push the performance fleece!" and so on. Man, it drove me IN-SANE.
they were probably from quebec that's why
Never thought I'd see JJ on the description of a Drew Gooden video. Unlikely semi-crossover
Oh man, I worked at Old Navy a long ass time ago and I feel fortunate that we didn't have to do that. We turned the music off to make customers get out then left it off so we could hear each other talk shit about said customers
O
God. I worked at Home Depot and when we closed, they let us listen to our music with headphones, so long as work was completed.
the Wendy’s videos are actually brilliant! Personally, being able to sing a little song in my head about the task while I do said task would be so helpful
nowadays Wendy's training videos are long and tideous, everyone speaks very monotoned in them.
dealing with anxiety is really hard, but the fact that Drew (not Andrew) not only handled himself but was able to create such good content which made me laugh so so hard while probably still dealing with his issues, is so inspiring.

I worked for my city's parks and recreation department a few years ago. The training video was a 20 year old VHS tape, in which my dad was the main actor.

I came home from work the first day and he says "So... how did you like the training video?" Instant classic

I work at a petsmart, and I spent 8 hours just on training videos. one of them in particular made me actually laugh out loud. It was a fire safety video, and the background actors were giving it their ALL. The two main characters (the manager and the intrepid new associate) would calmly go over the different types of fires, and then LEAVE THE FIRES UNATTENDED for the background people to put out. So in the background you'd see all these people scramble in a panic while these two idiots just made polite conversation next to a massive electrical fire

At Chuck E Cheese’s they still have training dvds. It’s pretty boring normal stuff but it did dedicate almost a minute to telling us that if we lock our keys inside a room to call someone and not try to go through the vents to get into that room. It stuck with everyone and was a common to hear coworkers joking about climbing around in the vents.
You know climbing the vents would have never crossed my mind, but now I gotta.
Must’ve missed that training video because we definitely climbed through the ceiling to get keys locked in the office when I worked there 💀
Do you think they added that in the video because that's something an employee has done before? And they just really wanted to make sure that no one else would ever again? "No matter how much you might want to, please don't crawl through the vents. Seriously. Don't. It doesn't end well..." xD

@@wgj427 I used to live in nc because my dad is 8n tje military and my dad is from their son tar heels are my team to.
My eyes are always on cocaine, but my body isn't and it's sad.
i worked at wendy’s last summer. and i have some great stories:
- my coworker and my manager would talk about selling their kidneys to make money
- someone threatened to quit every shift
- all the employees were ordered to write good reviews of themselves online
- every once and a while there’d be actual human shit on the walls in the men’s bathroom.
- my manager would roll a wheelbarrow through drive-thru during a downtime to keep numbers up
- i offered dozens and dozens of free frostys to costumers that had a long wait
- my friends uncle hit on me in the drive thru
- the instructional videos we did get were like little mini games. “where do the fries go?” “how long do the nuggets stay in the fryer?”
truly the best place in earth
the wheelbarrow one omg I'm dead
my old job got multiple complains for racism (yes i know) and the boss ordered us to write anonymous positive reviews
My brother is currently working there and when they ran out of expensive lemonade they just told customers that the cheap lemonade was the expensive stuff. THEN they ran out of that and genuinely convinced like a dozen customers that the water was lemonade
Thank you for sharing XD
the wendy’s i worked at also had shit smeared on the bathrooms walls on two occasions
At In-N-Out, I had a training video that talked about all the safety exits, and at one part the guy working the video dove out head first into a customer’s car.
Never got the chance to try that one out though, which is unfortunate
this is making me laugh so hard rn WHY INTO THE CAR
imagine a sweaty man in his twenties going up to you like: “what grade are you in? what school do you go to? what’s your home address??”
i had social anxiety so bad as a kid if a sweaty man even looked at me without my parents around i would have had a panic attack 😂😂
"Whats your social security number?"

When you talk to a costumer you may say things like
"Did you catch the game yesterday?"
"Are you enjoying the holidays so far?"
"What's your credit card information?"
"Would you like to make that a menu?"
And dont forget the classics!
"How can I help you today?"
"Do you want to add a drink to your order?"
"What's your opinion on the geopolitical climate during the German Revolution of 1848/49?"

This comment is so underrated.
... There was a German Revolution in 1948/9 and I didn't even know about it!?

@@lisagaedike741 i am just saying what i see. i didnt mean to sound harsh, sorry for that.
worked at macys for a few months before the pandemic started. we had to watch anti shop lifiting and anti union videos, but we also had to watch an instructional tape on what to do during a *mass shooting.* having actors with this same kind of stilted intensity walk me through how to help customers escape, how to hide, and barracade doors was....harrowing

i constantly think about this work training video i had for watch about stereotypes and comments in the workplace. this guy was stocking bananas and the two people in front of him said “oh look, a fruit stocking fruit”
like that’s so funny omg
AYO WHAT
That’s the funniest shit I have ever heard
we had one on workplace harassment where the people were crazy australian and we were in an echoey room with a super quiet video, so no one could hear and we were all choking trying not to laugh but it was pretty clear that it revolved around a guy being pissed about gender neutral bathrooms and another guy having like a panic attack because of it and then a third guy confronted the first guy and he got pissed again but i don’t remember the rest

Aww, they’re falling in love

"What do you mean in trouble?"
You'd be surprised and disgusted at how bad things can go in those character suits. Once was volunteering at a local PBS event for kids that had a costumed character. The girl in the costume wound up getting really sick and actually threw up in the mascot head. Had to safely get her out of there without alerting any kids and without any of it coming out of the head, so the poor girl had to calmly walk back to the changing room with her own vomit right in front of her face.
And that's just the extreme end. Normally there needs to be a handler and there's regulations on how long people can be in the suits for safety precautions too.
Yo I had to wear the mascot costume for a book drive I was volunteering for and it gave me so much respect for the people who do that everyday.
I was sweating buckets and kids kept jumping on me and shaking the mascot head.
damn...
The Chucky cheese one is so wack, that "if you feel in danger, run to the back asap so the kids don't see" sounds almost exactly like the FNAF training phone calls
im pretty sure this is what they do at disney with mascot costumes too, do with that what you will.
It's disturbing how the narrator of "shoplift tutorial" sound very professional and gentle. Was there like a prestigious school of shoplifting before?
Yeah it’s called juvie

I worked at Wendy's. I was told the same "we don't cut corners" thing. & we also did
I still work there, and we might not cut meat corners, but when it comes to a lot of other things, I guarantee that we do.
It's on the backs of some of the shirts now, like they're trying to cover up the fact that we most definitely cut a lot of corners
I started going to a therapist for Generalized Anxiety Disorder about 4 years ago and every year has been better than the last. I still have anxiety and that's probably never going to go away, but I've developed a lot of strategies (for both myself and my husband) to recognize when I'm getting swept up in the anxious thoughts and how to ground myself. Now instead of constantly being like "what is wrong with me, why am I like this, everything's awful" I can take a step back and say "hey that's my anxiety talking, let's get an objective opinion on the situation (usually my husband who is uber practical and logical and my rock)" In short, I can't recommend therapy enough. And finding a partner (whether a romantic partner or a friend or a relative) who can help you in your self-improvement journey is so so important. It does take work, but I promise things do get better. I believe in you, Drew, and all of you out there struggling with anxiety right now. You got this!
Aww inspiring! I’m glad ur better now :)
Man I love this comment 🥺🤙♥️ I’m glad you’ve gotten better
Thats wonderful, congradulations on your progress!!!!!! 🎉🎉💞
Where did that come from?
Is there any reason you post this?
@@thedarknightnicht Drew mentions at the start of the video that he's been dealing with anxiety lately
I worked at chuckecheese in 2011, I watched that exact outdated training video. I was the pizza guy but everyone had to take turns wearing the costume. So yeah......I've been in the rat suit. You're not allowed to speak while in the costume and the first time I wore the costume I walked out of the training room/costume closet a kid got scared of me and started crying. I apologized to the mom and walked away. My manager pulled me aside immediately and said these exact words "I don't care if that kid was crying, don't fucking talk in the suit."
That place was a literal shit show. I ended up quitting because they wanted me to clean shit and vomit out of the tubes lining the ceiling that kids crawl through. I got that job thinking I was going to be making food. I barely made any food.
that sounds like such a shitshow experience 😭😭
“I don’t care if that kid was crying, don’t fucking talk in the suit” is one of the best lines I’ve ever heard and can be used in so many situations
Minimum wag e?
What did the manager want you to do then?! We're you just supposed to do hand gestures towards the mom? We're you supposed to ignore the kid and go back to dancing??
Probably would have a panic attack if I worked there.
Danny and Kurtis today: hey look at these loser men glorifying toxicity
Drew: heh. Look at these old training videos.

Scot Cramer also today: Look at Drew
I currently work at Wendy's and actually did watch training videos. They didn't have any people in them; it was just a voice followed by animated videos and pictures. There were also a few different quizzes and an activity where I had to correctly put the sandwiches together
“If you are ever in trouble throw up the time out signal” advice I will take into every situation possible. Getting mugged? Just throw up the “time out signal” and the mugger will stop.

I remember working at bed bath and beyond we had to watch 5 different training videos (and then individual classes on thread count, home care, French press, coffee and keriug maintenance, yankee candles, and bed making etiquette) and they were mostly boring aside from one made in the late80s/early 90s about how to politely accuse people of shoplifting. I worked this job 10 years ago and I still think about that video pretty often.
In regards to the anxiety thing, I can’t tell if you’re joking or trying to make light about the situation, but if you’ve been suffering from anxiety I’m glad you’re getting help and taking care of yourself, your mental health comes first
I hope you’re doing okay and getting the support you need. “I talked to my doctor and he told me to stop” made me laugh for an unreasonable amount of time. Been there pal.
I once was told by a psych that 'it doesn't matter why you have anxiety, you just need to calm down and stop it' 😅 needless to say I did not go back to him
Same. Just saying don’t do that doesn’t work, it’s unfair and unfortunate. For everyone here I hope y’all stay doing alright and have better resources now, thank you all.🤟 personally, if I can’t talk about my issues with ease or comfort, I have journals or draw. It can be relieving but everyone has different mechanisms to calm down.
@@similisticmurfur3964Journals and drawing are great mechanisms 😊 I also play video games and go on long walks to cope (though at the moment everyone in my state is locked down to their own suburbs so walking has gotten boring). Mindfulness is also a great tool when you get panicky. If you feel an anxiety attack coming on, look at five things around you and describe their colour and shape 😊 I sometimes disassociate from reality and so far that's always helped me get back down to earth
lol
The long hair makes him looks like he’s either the main character in a vampire movie, or the love interest in the movie where he’s dumb and is catching feelings for the nerdy girl who helps him pass the important test coming up.
He actually looks like the guys Danny and Kurtis made videos about today
the way you just disrespected drew by comparing him to pissell 😭😭😭
he looks like the vampire in danny's video
As a mascot I can confirm feeling in trouble does mean your about to pass out or you really need the restroom. I got heat stroke during a parade in summer I had to walk 1 mile in 96 degree weather. I had to signal my handler near the end, and I hopped in a car to take off head so I could breathe a little.
As someone who's had pet rats.... They're actually obsessively clean. To the point that they regularly groom their human owners... Yea rats think WE'RE gross lol
(Seriously tho they can be litter trained - easily, bc they just go in one part of the cage usually, so you just.... Set up a litter box where they like to go. And they groom themselves and each other more than a cat does. It's actually super adorable bc they use their little hands to scrub their fur, and they hold their tails in front of their face to groom it and it's just - rats are great ok. Hell I even had one who, when given dry spaghetti, would use it to clean her teeth. And then she'd eat it but ye)
Aw, cute. But that’s pet rats. When most people think rats, they think about the pests that live in sewers and transmit diseases.
i have a rat infestation in my house rn and i really don’t wanna see them as cute 😞
Clean her teeth! Lmao adorable
that's so cute im gonna die 😳

The level of how well my job treats me has been foreshadowed every time by how long training took. From worst to best, I got trained at my second job for an hour and a half, my first for half of my shift, and the third for two days (scheduled for three but we didn't need the third)
My mom is the manager of my local Burger King. As a young child, I spent countless hours in the back because fast food doesn’t pay well enough to afford a babysitter. They had a whole shelf of VHS training videos that I watched far too many times. My favorite was the one about making fries because the acting when a dude gets splashed with fryer grease was on point.
Apparently, when Burger King added hot dogs in the 2010s, they made a training video with Snoop Dogg. It’s a pretty good one.
wait pls elaborate more,, did you happen to see the snoop dogg hot dog training video?? i need to know what went on for my own edification.
Yes, please eleborate more !

9:41 That mechanical pulsing sound is a snippet of "Welcome to the Machine" by Pink Floyd, in that Wendy's video of him starting the video.
