I work for walmart: We have a 10ft rule. If a customer comes within 10 feet of us, we have to greet them and ask if they need any help. But most of us don't do it unless we're bored stocking and need a break. Also, if someone is being overly helpful and asking you repeatedly if you need help, they think you're stealing.
@SolQuik no, they cant actually do anything about it even if they see it. the policy is not to get involved and let it go, they have to make the costumer to feel pressured and maybe that's gonna make him go away.
I work at a midwestern gas station/ convenience store and we are supposed to greet every guest who is within talking distance. I usually just give a friendly smile because some people really just want to get their bread and leave.
I worked at subway out of highschool and we had a deal where you could get a free cookie for doing a survey and kept the receipt. This 95 year old dude came in every day with 10 receipts. I'd ring them all up individually, apply the coupon, and it'd print out 10 receipts for him. Thats 10 more free cookies.
I work at an international airport, anything TSA doesn't let through we can collect at the end of our shift, so long as it doesn't enter the post check section of the airport. This means, free weed, alcohol, knives, lighters, hairspray, and other things. Thanks for trying forgetting you can't fly with your 400$ knife.
Can people collect the guns if there are any? I'd imagine at least one person had their gun in their pocket or in their holster and they had to have it taken away at some point.
It's true! I had a friend in middle school who was wearing a necklace one day that I complimented and she told me her dad worked for TSA and gave it to her after it had been confiscated.
@BingoBangoBongo Almost, but not quite. Maybe extortion. But they don't grab the item off you then let you go, they say that you cannot go through security with the item. You are allowed to ditch your flight and leave with the item, (unless its illegal, like drugs) In effect, any item worth more than the cost of getting a new flight is worth keeping, but anything less is worth surrendering.
@BingoBangoBongo ik some makes sense like fireworks n etc because sometimes they contain mercury which eats through aluminum (what planes are made of). I never understood the drinks part though.
Dominos in my town is pretty good and the tracker is pretty accurate, when it gets to the delivery bit its usually here within 10 mins. My favourite driver is a polish guy and his greeting is "hello my freind" its great
A local pizza place around my area that we ordered from a lot has an Italian delivery driver. He always greets the door with “Ciao! My friend!” and we usually make conversation. During Christmas time he likes to bring us a small cake as a present.
I’m currently working for Dominos as a delivery driver! I should try adding “my friend” to my greetings. I do a treat bag with lollipops, dog and cat treats, too. Gotta make sure everyone is happy!
Yeah, my Dominos is pretty great too. I order from there a lot so I get those free deals and use coupons but I always pass the savings over to the workers in the form of tips (on top of what I already would tip) when I do.
I've worked in a department store and if you buy something on sale or with a coupon, you're not getting a deal, the prices are marked up, so they can be put on sale.
Why do misconceptions like this keep appearing? It's like employees see a price go up due to inflation, then they see a discount being applied during a sale, and then concoct a conspiracy in their heads that after a product was marked down by 50% the week after the price went up by 10% that the evil business owners are intentionally screwing over customers. Does it make people feel good to claim that department stores are evil, and that they are the brave maverick revealing their secrets to the world while the rest of the sheep employed by the corporation remained quiet? That's such a childish mindset.
@@justsomevids4541 The average markup for pretty much any industry is something like 400%. Yes, it costs $10 to make, but there are more costs inherent in selling it at a store that aren't as easy to quantify. Maybe $20 is the bare minimum for making some kind of profit off of the shirt, while $40 is the price they'd rather sell it at because they can then have enough money to buy another shirt to sell. $20 is just what they sell the shirt at if they know that they won't be buying any more of that kind of shirt to sell, but they still need to make a profit.
The overwhelming majority of password policies in use today are doing the exact opposite of good security policy. Most places have you choose a bunch of upper case, lower case, numbers and sometimes even a symbol. This makes the password hard to remember without writing down (BAD) and (and this is the really terrible part) does not make the password harder to crack. The most common way that people gain access to passwords is through phishing and social engineering. The complexity of a password's spelling has no effect on that. That leaves brute force. And while adding more variables can slow that down, they are not nearly as effective as length. Every new character increases the amount of time needed to brute force a password exponentially. Most password guidelines force you to choose a password that can still be cracked in a few days. And the people interested in stealing passwords have nothing else but time. We should be using passphrases, where we type in a fully punctuated sentence. Those are easy for users to remember, but a pain in the ass to brute force. Instead we use short nonsense passwords which are easy to brute force and hard to remember.
Here’s another one: At Walmart, if you’re trying to buy something in store, you can match the price with the Walmart online website price, since the online price is cheaper. Employees always allow the discount, but not without me telling them.
Sometimes their in-store shelf price doesn't match the register price. They'll give you the shelf price if you tell them. But when you have to do it for several months it becomes clear that the mismatch is store policy, and they're just ripping people off (and breaking the law.)
This can also be applied to Target. I went into Target to buy some lip gloss that I saw were $3 on the Target website, but when I got to the store, they were being charged at $6!
Worked at McDonald's for 2 years. Appalling health standards. And the employees/managers treated each other like absolute shit. We went through 4 general managers in the span of 2 years. The health inspector was never thorough and we somehow would pass all the time....bc we knew exactly when they were coming and they would make every one clean like mad. We had 2 species of cockroaches that they denied having. American and German roaches. I had one fly and land on me whilst I ate in the break room. Never ate in there again. Plus a customer found one in their big mac. People make the food without gloves, and don't wash their hands after going to the bathroom. Yuck. There's mold in the ice cream machine and tea dispenser nozzle bc the managers never clean it. Our supervisor reports any post that calls them out on social media so nobody knows the truth. Our drinking water tasted like horrendous mold and they lied and said it was drinkable. The homeless wouldn't even drink it in the 120 degree weather. They kept the toliet plunger touching the mop handle so your hands were infected with toilet germs then they would have you stop mopping to take a bag of food out to the customers and wouldn't let you wash your hands. Dead flies in our ice box too. It was so gross. Please don't ever eat at McDonald's they don't care about their employees safety let alone the customers health. Our location is on a highway so we get a lot of foreigners who would order coffee but we're given decaf all the time "because they can't taste the difference". I can't imagine someone taking a long road trip and stop for coffee at 3am only to later fall asleep at the wheel bc they were given decaf. It's fucked up. I refused to give them decaf and would make them wait the 3 minutes to brew a new one. The customers were the only ones who ever told me I did a good job. Managers told me I took to long washing dishes they don't really wash them more like rinse them off to make them look clean. The same rags we use to clean the tables are used to clean the bathrooms/toilets and they stopped using bleach to sanitize the rags. 10/10 would not ever eat there again no matter how much I'm tempted. Any time I did was usually accompanied by diarrhea.
dang, thats ruff, our McD's is reaally well taken care of, my uncle used to work there, and he said everything is squeaky clean, and showed pics, find a better location lol
Former roaming Dunkin Donuts manager, worked 6+ years in the field... 20+ store in the north eastern region. That machine with the sugar in it get cleaned once a year at best. Things I have found in these machines; dead bugs, moldy munchkins and parts of moldy donuts. The inner working have a rubber tube that is light yellow and is supposed to be cleaned when it starts to turn to a more solid yellow color. 9times out of 10 it would be dark brown. Indicating its been over 6 months before cleaned. Ever see them shaking the machine around to get some more sugar out? Thats because the mold and other liquids that fall into the machine have clogged the machine and instead of cleaning it (too time consuming) most places just smack it around to break up the sugar so it comes out... Right into your coffee. Enjoy.
Long haul reefer trucker here. Don't buy apples in October or November and into December. Every harvest season, they fill the warehouses full of apples. There they sit until shipped. But they ship the old ones before they ship any new ones. That means in October, November and into December - those apples are from last years harvest. They are literally a year old or more. Eat oranges during that time instead. By the time Xmas comes around, all of last years harvest is usually gone and they're starting to ship this years harvest. So December and January is when you see the freshest apples in all the major chain stores. It really becomes a game between these chain stores and the apple producers to see who will accept shipments of bad apples during the months of October and November. Also, look closely at your yellow onions. There should be no dark spots under the skin. Dark spots are usually mold.
jdlech luckily we do not have that issue here in south texas. Produce either comes from texas or mexico. Always fresh. Except for that one time when we had the massive recalls for an E.Coli outbreak lol
@@Network126 They're stored just a fraction of a degree above freezing. And even then, a lot do not make it a year. Lots of apple shipments are rejected because they did not last a year. And a lot of producers try to jam bad loads through just to get rid of them. If the load is rejected, they don't even want them back. So we truckers end up taking rejected loads to various charities and to brokers at cut throat rates - practically free. I've done this several times and it's a royal PITA each time.
And that's how they get in shit.. The hotel my sister worked at had a girl that would flip the shower liner the other way to make it look cleaned. Needless to say, she doesn't work there anymore.
Most fast food stores are franchises. That means that the actual company, while having their name stamped on everything in the store, only really check up on the places maybe once a year if they feel like it. The guy in charge of the store is just some bloke who payed the dues to have it set up, and the quality of the stores are almost entirely based on management and the store owner.
This applies to quick lube service centers as well, having gone from my (currently burned down) Jiffy Lube to one a bit closer to my home, and having worked at multiple Domino's, I can confirm that with those franchise-type establishments management is everything. If a particular store sucks total ass, just report that shit to corporate and try your luck at a different location :)
Worked at a few different Pizza Huts. Can confirm that it honestly only comes down to the managers. Unless you're the first store corporate visits, you know when they're in the area, who's been visited, and that you're going to be visited soon. So you go and you are doing everything right up until the inspector leaves. Literally once they leave and whoever your area manager is talks to the managers, it's back to "business as usual"
After dark, a certain fast-food place named after a redhead wants people to clean and make food at the same time. So don't go through drivethrough after the "dining room" closes--because you can't see any of the goings-on. The people making food are the same people tasked with cleaning everything up so they can get out as close to 1am as possible--and they both A) don't want to be there any longer than they have to be, and B) get yelled at if they stay too long past 1am. You're trusting that the guy making burgers and fries washed his hands after he got done cleaning the bathrooms. You're trusting that that burger patty didn't fall on the floor and that the manager didn't pick it up and put it on a bun, because it was the only one fully-cooked at the time.
I used to work at McDonald's and they don't recycle. There are recycling bins, yes, but we just threw them in with the trash compactor with all the other garbage.
From going to a casino in my uni town, I can confirm the dealer wants you to win. A dealer at the place I went put his neck on the line teaching us how to play blackjack "correctly". Kept looking around to see if any of his supervisors were onto him
@@hubbcap18 he taught us how the dealer has to stand on 17 so depending on what card they have, you either try to get a stronger hand or wait for them to go bust as they have a higher chance of going bust. Also taught us when doubling and splitting are worth it
Why though? Why would he want you to win? Did you ever get an answer? I googled it, and the first thing that came up was the classic quote "On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everything drops to zero." What? Do they want the problem gamblers to see you winning so that they continue gambling and eventually lose all their money? Do they not care if you win hundreds of dollars because seeing you win has made someone spend thousands trying to win as well?
I used to work at Carl's Jr. The medium and large sized onion rings there are the exact same thing. They cook the same amount of onion rings for both sizes and just put them in a different sized containeri. Just get a medium if you ever get onion rings lol.
Cocoa The Clown I don't know if it's because I work at a mc ds in Canada where are fry sizes are different than America. But the large is the exact same width, and almost twice the height. Buy the large here.
@Cocoa The Clown go to any coffee shop and 3/4 of any drink that isn't hot is filled with ice. Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks both do this with my drinks and I work at Sonic and it is tradition to fill half of the cup with ice which consequently makes it so 1. your drink is ice cold but 2. You get hardly any drink which causes you to want to buy another one
Giant Dad Predatory pricing, also known as undercutting, is a pricing strategy in which a product or service is set at a very low price with the intention to achieve new customers (Loss leader), or driving competitors out of the market or to create barriers to entry for potential new competitors. Theoretically, if competitors or potential competitors cannot sustain equal or lower prices without losing money, they go out of business or choose not to enter the business. The so-called predatory merchant then theoretically has fewer competitors or even is a de facto monopoly. Predatory pricing is considered anti-competitive in many jurisdictions and is illegal under some competition laws.
In a nutshell, companies don't care about the customer, they care about their money and will do anything to get it. Including misinforming you, deceiving you or just outright lying to you and your product is not nearly as quality as you think it is and is designed to break in a short amount of time so you have to buy another one replace it.
Former Ramp Agent here. You know the ground crew that you see working around the aircraft you just boarded? 90% of them are not even fully trained for their job. They are only fully trained "on paper" to make corporate look good, while in reality most of the training in done on the job as needed. According to my companies records I was trained on every piece of equipment there even though that was far from the truth.
@@xPRODIGYxGAMER It actually is a problem though. It's the lack of regulation/oversight that allows corporate to say we are fully trained even though it's never really validated. Because of this a vicious cycle is created where 1. The company can hire anyone even those without experience. 2. Because they don't have to fully train anyone they can give wages that reflect that. They also make sure the job is part time so they don't have to offer any benefits. 3. Due to the low pay, lack of benefits and working conditions, a high turnover rate is created. This justifies giving out training as needed but only because they refuse to give the training that would demand a higher wage and therefore longer term employees. Furthermore, thousands of ramp accidents happen every year costing airlines worldwide roughly $10 billion and nearly all of them are due to a lack of proper training. Compared to the rest of the aviation industries safety record that is absolutely unacceptable.
@@twig4661 Yep I guess your right, Explains why so many people in high positions have no talent or knowledge of what they are supposed to be doing and grind their subordinates that actually know what they're doing into dust.
I’m 16 and work for a grocery store with both an organic and non-organic section. The food in the organic room is virtually double the price, although half the time it’s from the same box as stuff that isn’t organic. This goes for most shops of these sorts. I feel so bad when I tell some short vegan with a backpack and glasses that everything in the room is organic and his eyes just LIGHT UP and grabs a bunch of shit. Of course some of it is, but there’s way too much stuff that is just grown regularly.
Lmao I was a bagger, then a night stocker, then a dairy lead. That shits crazy, I never knew what was going on with produce side. They always looked like butchers. Watermelon juice, blood stains, never could tell the difference.
*there is essentially no difference between organic and non organic.* no matter how it's grown. so long as it's grown, it's still organic granted, that says noting about added crap, but even then it's still "organic." in my eyes it's just as big of a scam as bottled, or "pure" water.
11:53 100 percent absolute truth. My mom told me this decades ago that her aunt worked at a factory and they would package all the brands there with the same vegetables. All the veggies came from the same place and they all went to all the sellers. LIterally, buying a stores cheaper brand is the same vegetables that you're paying premium for.
Same applies to cheap "supermarket branded" products. If you see ASDA chocolate or Home Baking SuperValu Chocolate, or TESCO chocolate or LIDL chocoloate, it's all coming from the same place with a different packaging, the product - in the end is the same. You can apply this to everything else as well, butter, ice cream, and whatever.
Most retail grocery workers know this as well it's different when it comes to things that are packaged like jello or candies, meals etc. Great value jello has some less sugar if i remember than regular brand, most of the cereals are about the same, all organic things (produce, meat) are basically the same as any namebrand
Worked at Taco Bell for two years. The only fresh item we have is the cilantro. It’s so fresh i’ve found multiple bugs in the bags. If you go past 10pm and the restaurant closes at 1-2am, you’re eating food that’s been there for at least six hours. The black beans are made at 9am, and thrown away at 11pm. They will always be old when you eat them. We sometimes made food without gloves and if we did wear gloves, likely didn’t wash our hands. Everything we serve, including the meats, we add water to so it’ll spread and make our food cost cheaper. The soda machines were CAKED with mold and we’d only properly clean every 4-5 months when health inspectors would come Still it’s cheap and it’s good so idc
Like franchised chains, it depends on the location. The Taco Bell locations I've eaten at had decent food, and as far as I recall, I've never gotten the Brown Blitz from it.
tbh not wearing gloves doesn't bother me IF they wash their hands as well. Big kitchens in real restaurants often don't use gloves as they get in the way sometimes, as long as they wash often they're fine.
Sounds like your taco bell is way more disgusting than the one I'm at, not to mention that if you're not wearing gloves then you're part of the problem.
I worked at a Dairy Queen where the ice cream was recycled. Since this location was individually owned, I can’t say for sure if it happened at any other location. If a customer changed their mind about a cone once it was already made (which happened all the time) instead of throwing it in the trash, the ice cream was scraped into a bucket. At the end of the day, the bucket was emptied through a funnel and back into the soft serve machine. Your ice cream cone may have been basically reincarnated. Cone-ception.
A DQ I worked at after college reused all the mismade ice creams and Blizzards etc, except we put them in pie shells instead and then sold them as ice cream pies. Nothing inherently wrong with it; no one had licked it or anything. One shift I got to do it and had a great deal of fun making up names for them--the person making them just blended together whatever flavours they thought would work well together out of whatever they had until they had enough for a pie, and then got to label them. No guidelines given on names. So I named a green one (it was mint or lime or something, dunno what, don't remember) Crunchy Frog Surprise. No one noticed the name, including the guy who bought it, because I ended up getting him at the till and asked if he'd noticed; he hadn't, heh. Assured him that no real frogs were involved; sadly, he was not a Monty Python fan and didn't get the reference.
Did that while in the army aswell. Caught on in the first week of basic training they only check for dust, not wether it's clean or not. A lot easier to just do a quick dustsweep every morning than a full round of cleaning. Besides, dust clings better to moist surfaces than on dry surfaces, making it 10x harder to pass morning inspections
I just took my FCC General Radiotelephone Operator's License test for my IT trade school, and the company i took it through, ICSET, read my password back to me after account creation. So that probably means they store it as plain text. Yikes.
Gawker was hacked in 2010. Turns out they stored usernames and passwords as plain text in the same file. Basically everything that you should never, ever do.
@@pomponi0 LastFM got hacked; I'm now receiving love letters from scammers who *very politely* tell me how to buy bitcoin. They assume most ppl use the same pw over & over.

There's a program I use at work and the software engineering is so utterly sloppy that it breaks more often than it works. We're sending in support tickets every week. It's clear the creators took on far more than they understand. Recently that "duct tape" fell apart and the program became downright unusable for a day, causing chaos. Now the company owner is scrambling for other programs to implement.
7:40 One of the reasons I became an engineer instead of a scientist, most scientific studies have a predetermined result based on who is funding it, either in the actual results or the way the results are presented.
In my AP Statistics class, I changed the p-value of my test in order to make it statistically significant. Dropped it from .05 to .1, which is still an acceptable p-value, but yaint supposed to mess with the p-value after you already know the results
It's not much of a secret but companies don't care as long as they get their money. A few years ago my parents and I came back from our holiday and discovered that somehow over £100 was spent on my dad's PlayStation account on a game we had never heard of. When my dad tried canceling the payment his account got suspended and when he told them the situation they didn't care, they just wanted his money.
And now every time I hear the ice cream truck roll by (it plays Fur Elise), I'll always think of how he quit Subway to become an Ice Cream Truck Driver.

Worked at a big cat rescue center once. They had a cougar that everyone loved. (Peolple get very emotional with rescued animals) They always found him sweet and cute. But it is a wild animal, the sanctuary once tried to put him with a female cougar. When they put them in enclosures next to eachother with a chainlink fence in between. That was enough for him to kill the female by grabbing her trough the fence. People who were told about this just didn't believe it. "Oh no he is the cutest he doesn't do that" Yes. Yes he does. It is a cougar. This was kept quiet for so long everyone kinda forgot the cute cougar did this. And they tried again. But thankfully this time all goes well with the new female. Cougars are solitary though so they tolerate eachother but not much more than that. And everyone is saying "oh it is so nice that cute kitty finally has a friend and isn't lonely. It is not a human, it prefers to be alone... but well if I guess it makes YOU feel better to see its not alone.
Yeah im not sure why people look at those places and think having multiple tigers or bears, cougars etc. together is natural. they're practically all solitary animals until they breed
@@ssomehuman5084 threatened its sense of space, an animal that's been alone for a while to be introduced close to another can cause violence since it's used to being alone.
Taifuun a friend told me that they start giving you enough work for you to want to quit, they don’t “just fire” you, they make you lose your shit and then try to explain that the work was enough for you to handle. If you get paid hourly and remain in the same position you’ve got it big, she said, since they 9/10 times change your position to one where you have to deal with cocky foreign customers
IBM is notoriously a shitty company to work for. I have never heard anything good about them. Abusive management, prying into the private lives of employees, an aggressive "Rank and Yank" system that often fires long term employees over a few bad months or even weeks, unrealistic workloads, etc.
I worked in a German garden center. On their plants, they sometimes have "locally grown" on it. One part of my work was of course putting plants on their shelves. In every delivery, they have a delivery document, basically where the plant is coming from. This "locally grown" plant species suspeciously came from Argentina. I was about to scream
Former employee at a bakery in a popular grocery store in the southeast. It claims that we make your cake fresh the same day you come to pick it up.

All the fast food places cut down on labor after college goes out. This means always having less than the minumum amount of employees, thus meaning we are working our ass off harder than you could ever even imagine - still for minimum wage.
can confirm this, just today i was in the kitchen with literally 1 other coworker (who threatened and tried to intimidate me for “being lazy”) and i still had to stay there for 3 hours with him. so after his little tantrum i had to work in the kitchen by myself while he took his 30 min break and then afterward me and this kid worked the stations of 4 ppl and we still “earn” min wage. no one gets hired to work in the kitchen and i have to feel threatened at my place of work and management wont do anything about it bc we’re so short staffed and hes one of our fastest workers. looking for a new job atm but no one is calling back

Overload Games tell me about it. my GM just hired 2 new guys for kitchen like less than 2 weeks ago but theyre so god damn slow i basically end up doing half their work. Everyone is gone around 3pm either way so it ends up being me and 1-2 other guys and theres no time to clean because theres 2 ppl making food and the last guy has to compensate for there not being another human being in the kitchen.

AT&T is bad, too. My wife worked for them for a number of years as a Linux engineer making servers for big corporate retail clients. Employees were mostly independent contractors hired through headhunter companies who took a cut of their salary every paycheck. They had few benefits, no paid vacation time or holidays, and they were constantly reminded that they could be fired at any moment "to spur productivity". But all it really did was keep everyone so afraid of losing their jobs, they couldn't focus on their work, and they got much less done. It's a pretty evil company. When she found out her department was getting sold to IBM, she really started worrying. It wasn't long before IBM laid everyone off. Luckily she found a kick ass government job right away and is much more secure now.

Sup Dude May I recommend Sweden, Denmark, or Finland as better alternatives? Even China/Japan are good options since they hold a high respect for English speakers with a high level degree and teachers are given their dues.

The textbook thing also applies to college. The reason why American colleges are so expensive is because of the cafes and restaurants they have within campus or maybe the arcade or nice pub and pools. Only like. 10% of the tuition actually applies to the education itself
If you have stock in Lowe's, get rid of it now. The company has given up trying to compete with TSC and Home Depot and is basically pulling a Toys R Us and milking all the profit they can so the execs and shareholders can make out like bandits. Also, Best Buy wants to go with a completely 100% shopping-free experience. What that means is soon every Best Buy will just be a counter you walk up to blocking you off from the store. You either shop online or at a terminal or ask employees for what you want, they bring it to you, then you buy it and leave. The idea is that it will cut down on shrink and store maintenance 100%. Walmart's pick-up system? Lowes'? Yeah, they stole that from Best Buy's seminars where they were discussing the idea. Don't treat your high level managers like shit if you don't want them to quit and then go give your ideas to competitors. Or in the least, make them sign an NDA before you lay out your business strategy - particularly when it's a Hail Mary.
I worked at a Portillo's (mid-high grade fast food joint in the midwest) and they have this chocolate cake shake that everybody loves. If you've gone there enough times you'll see the big selling point was that the shake had this "secret ingredient" that would make the shake taste so good. Admittedly, they were amazing shakes and there is not a single person I know that didn't like the shake. The ingredient was mayonnaise. And not a little mayonnaise, like, a fucking _LOT_ of mayonnaise. I'm talking 1/3 to 1/2 of the shake is filled with gobs of mayonnaise, the rest is just milk and a slice of chocolate cake.
It was used to a surprising degree in a lot of cake recipes from like the 1950s; I think it was supposed to make it extra moist or something. It's basically eggs and vegetable oil.
I mean, if people like it, there's really no issue there lol. People find a lot of the food I personally love really weird, particularly for example how I like to eat Pickles. Covered in Black Pepper. It seriously makes them like WAY better, but you'd never see that considered a "normal" thing to put on a pickle. (there's a few spices that are really good on them as well, but pepper's by far my favorite, and the easiest to do, because you can literally throw as much or as little as you want on there.)
@@thebigguy2757 oh no he knew. He would try and make my son hold egg carton in the store, and would try and get him to eat salad dressings with eggs. I admit my part in that terrible marriage. I was lonely and didn't have any prospects at the time. I was told I couldn't have kids with bad ovaries so didn't expect to get pregnant.
The education system is one of my main reasons in the belief that America is no longer a Democracy or a Republic but an Oligarchy the other reason is that top 1% of the people have more wealth than the 99% it's like they're lords over their land in a feudal system. Edit: I have nothing to do with this comment section they took it to Communism and such. An Oligarchy is different and is more akin to a feudal system of government. Humble knight gives a good description of how an Oligarchy works.
And much of that money goes into insisting how free we all are. The modern Republican Party is literally built around this with the Democrats split between this and crazed SJWs. You really can’t blame people who turn to anarchism and communism when people that evil are on top.
The US is not capitalist anymore. It's a communist nation. It appears we have freedom but the deeper you go the more you realize the amount we have is actually so little.
Lobbyists and unions are largely the reason why. They try to curry political favors with big companies so they all get ahead while screwing the little guy. It's cronyism, not true capitalism. Just look at Facebook, Twitter, and Google as examples of cronyism at work.
But literally anyone can move between classes if they put the effort in. In fact, if you live in a two-parent household, even if you start out poor, you're as likely to become part of the 1% as you are to remain poor or become part of the middle class. That wouldn't be possible in an actual oligarchy. Wealth inequality is actually a sign of economic prosperity. Because if you start out from the agricultural era through the industrial revolution up to the information age, the more advanced a society becomes, the wider the gap between the poor and the rich becomes. And that's all due to the fact that the upper bound of possible wealth has increased. That's literally all it is. You can acquire more wealth with robots and trains than you could with farmers and horse carriages. And even then, the majority of the 1%'s (at least the businessmen's) wealth is in their company's stock, meaning they're supporting an entity that opens up job opportunities for people in a wide range of fields. Or, their wealth is in luxury items, which in turn opens opportunities for people who sell them and wouldn't have a large market otherwise. The lower bound of wealth has just stayed the same - because the barest minimum that anyone needs is always food and shelter. And even then, automation has made it so those can be produced at a cheaper price. So even poor people have seen advancement in their life. It isn't like they're having their money taken away and given to the rich somehow (welfare cuts don't count, and slightly higher taxes don't either because none of that goes to anyone but Gov employees). And rising minimum wage sounds great up until the point you realise prices would go up because the cost of labour would be added as an expense, and companies want to keep up their profits. This would also mostly affect smaller businesses that need low prices to compete. That, and if it's a low-skill job that anyone can do then they'll just automate your ass even quicker, like they did with kiosks meant to replace McDonald's cashiers.
8:57 is that why my high school credit recovery teacher was fired after getting caught with coke on school ground and then rehired after she served her sentence in prison?
Fry cook here, if your food comes out darker than usual, its not because it's burnt. It's because the oil hasn't been changed. Often times we could go 2 weeks before having to change it.
A friend of mine is the owner of a semi-large musical instrument store. On the more expensive items, he'll only have one or two of it in the store with signs saying that supply on these popular items is almost gone and to buy it now at the "special deal" price. He let me know that the price is the regular price and that he actually has dozens of duplicates of every item in the massive underground storeroom. Though to be fair, all the prices listed in his store are more of a suggestion. If he likes you, he'll cut you a great deal. He'll even sell at-cost if you're a regular customer and you have a large order. He only charges full price for people he doesn't really like or are clearly full of crap. Asshole tax he calls it.
I think I speak for most Walmarts cause many have told me this while I worked at two different ones. When you ask if it’s in the back, 99.9 percent of the time it’s not, we mostly keep overstock or TVs or next seasons items in the back, but employees will walk to the back and stand there and pretend to look just to look like they tried. Cause people think we’re lying when we tell them we don’t have any in the back so they force us to lie by going to the back after they ask “ can you be sure? Go and check.”
When I moved back to this city for school, I needed a vacuum. Wally World had a display model for $35. Perfect size and price. They didn't have any on the shelf. It was like 3AM or something and I asked this nice guy about it and he said he'd look. Ten minutes later I had the very last vacuum. Thanks dude!
The Company that I work for makes custom t-shirts, it makes customers wait 20 days for it to be "ready", when it actually takes less than 3 hours to make one, so employees can just get paid for doing nothing.
I used to work as a telemarketer. When someone would asked to be removed from our calling list, I soon discovered that clicking the button to remove them from our list did nothing. In reality we have ten different lists and your number can easily be on multiple of them. I've also been put into several calls for people who have been dead for years.
6:24 There's a community college in my area that provides the HiSET program for free. Like, no cost at all, unless you want to get your graduation certificate earlier. They even give you bus passes for our local public transportation if you don't have any other options, again, at no extra cost to you. The bus pass is good for literally any bus.
I used to work at a Cinnabon store. We would make "Homemade" lemonade but in reality it was just minute maid lemon concentrate mixed with water we would get from a big sink in the back of the store behind a door. The sink was three sinks connected. The first one was a sink filled with bleach water for dishes that we power hosed after soaking in water in a second sink. The third one was where we got the water for the lemonade. Also the churros,mini donut balls and cinnamon sticks weren't actually baked fresh. They were store bought and kept in a freezer in the back. Then we would take them out and warm them up in the oven.I have more if anyone is interested, I don't want this to be a longer post.
I used to work at an ice cream shop, when we don’t have enough coins for changes, boss just tell us to give a few random coins, most people don’t really check them immediately. This really annoyed me, so I quit.
I know retail work is always in question and there is always something shitty going on somewhere. The retail store that targets you with low prices is always talking about there recent spikes with profit. Ask any non manager employee. They cut virtually all full time hours and are driving out long time employees. I've seen two managers in tears because bosses above them are riding them so hard to reach near impossible goals. This company is taking everything out on dedicated employees. They do not deserve your business.
Yup! Dollar General is a prime example. My DM expects me to spread 113 hours between 8 hourly employees, only one of which is fulltime. The fulltime makes $10.50 as assistant manager, all the others make $8-$9 an hour and are lucky to get 20 hours a week. How the hell do I motivate employees to not walk out much less work hard to achieve ridiculous goals?
Mariano's Grocery in the Midwest USA! Perfect description. My bosses are salary and pulling 15-16 hour shifts regularly with less than 5 co-workers per Dept to alternate between shifts. This lowers their pay to
Ghost Kid I used to work at dollar general and this sounds very accurate, made 8 bucks an hour and they wanted a ridiculous amount of work while I was there and only gave me like 20ish hours
I work maintenance at walmart so i never get hours cut since they basically NEED us to work. But we also haven't gotten more than a $50 bonus in roughly a year and a half due to our garbage store manager never being here and refusing to hire more people to cover, so our store currently spends like everything on hiring temporary workers, essentially running down our "bonus" at each quarter with how much is spent on temps.
I worked at Holiday Inn back when I was younger....never eat from the restaurant there. All they do is reheat leftovers they had for weeks, then sell it for top dollar. Additionally, if you know what goes on in the kitchen, you definitely wouldn't eat from there.
@Kitten Lyric yeah, I can't speak on all Holiday Inn's, only the one I worked at. I'm not gonna lie, because of the one I worked at, I judged them all to be the same way. The one I worked at was located in South Philadelphia, should had been top notch because the Philadelphia International Airport was only about 10-15 minutes away, all of the sports complexes was minutes away and etc. But it wasn't ran correctly. Hell, for about a month the 2nd and 3rd floors were infested with fleas. I guess that's why it didn't last, it was just recently sold and knocked down.
Used to work at Kohl's doing "ad set". Basically, it was an overnight shift where we went through and changed all the signs for the next day's sales. More often than not, only the name of the sale changed, but not the price. For example, the "40% Off" sign would be changed to "Weekend Sale" but the discount would still be 40% off. LIES.
If you live near a Krispy Kreme factory-store, you'll notice that It has a neon sign on the front that only goes on from 7:00-9:00 Both AM and PM. This indicates that they are making a new batch of doughnuts. If you go in and Say that you Saw the neon sign on, you'll get a free, fresh original glazed ;)
I used to work at a pizza shop (one of em big ones). We dont use gloves. None of the big pizza stores use gloves. Hell, even the small stores dont use gloves. The staff is just supposed to wash their hands really good. I did, but alot of my coworkers barely ever did.
Second one reminded me of a *somewhat* related thing. Those 'faux fur' pom pom and rabbit shaped keyring things that seem to be so popular, often sold by chinese sellers (though also redistributed in the uk on ebay, amazon etc)? Not faux. Not even close. Most I've seen are real fur. The rabbit shaped ones are actual rabbit fur, usually from rex rabbits. I've had two rex rabbits. I know what it looks like. I know what it feels like. It's what those keyrings are made of. Also some people have cut them open and found the other side is skin. In fact faux fur in general needs to be treated with great suspicion. People still have it ingrained into them that fur is an expensive 'luxury' item and can't be in such cheap items. Fun(not-so-fun) fact: It often costs more to produce synthetic fur than to raise animals on chinese fur farms (where there are *no* welfare laws at all) and kill them for it. A lot of 'faux' items have been discovered to be real fur from all sorts of creatures - cats, dogs, racoons, squirrels, rabbits and more - when looked at under a microscope. Sometimes it's impossible to tell which animal but they can see that it's real fur as fur has a 'scaled' appearance under a microscope like human hair.
Ignition I bought one of those rabbit keychains from the mall before learning it was made from real rabbit fur. As a pet rabbit owner I was sickened. It should be illegal to sell a plush keychain without a label that says it's fabric content.
Oh hell yes. Pirating an idie game makes you a right bastard. Pirating anything ever touched by a textbook company let alone the Great Satan that is Pearson make a you a hero!
You know those skewers in grocery that can be selled with sauce or without sauce? Pro tips: most of the skewers with sauce are leftovers from a day or two before that didn't sell. They just add sauce to make it look fresher.
Amazon allows businesses/sellers to add alterations to their already listed products incase of updates however it is stupidly unregulated. This means shady businesses who *had* a popular product can just change it with whatever they feel like whenever. *All while still keeping Hundreds if not thousands of good reviews for an entirely different product* ($8 Mousepad suddenly turns into a $250 “gaming chair”) . Best (and only) way to tell is by checking the reviews as they’ll either be for a different product or obviously fake. Look at customer photos. They do this because A) The product they’re selling is new but they want to make it look popular so they can dominate that market quickly. B) The product is old and did awful in sales and reviews on its own so they’re using the popular products listing to sell it C) They’re scamming (check seller return policy No refund = AVOID)
even worse than that, if someone else (a competitor seller on Amazon) lists themselves as also selling that product, they can at some point also edit the entire listing, change the photos and descriptions, sometimes even changing the title also until the entire page shows something completely different than what you are selling. Then, if it is an FBA item, someone can buy it from you, have it shipped to them by Amazon, and file a complaint to Amazon that you sold them the wrong item. Amazon then blames the original seller of the listing that was hijacked, shuts down their account, keeps all of the money they earned since the last payment, and begins a process of 'inventory destruction' for anything of the original seller's inventory that remains in the FBA warehouse. All because some jackass system that allows people to edit your listing.
Honestly reading all of these posts about the horrible health standards makes me grateful that I worked at Chipotle. It was without a doubt the most mentally and physically challenging job I’ve ever had but we also had insane health standards and practices that we maintained 24/7 year round. I actually never realized how much of a rarity Chipotle was in the fastfood world until new coworkers who had previously worked at pizza hut ,Burger King etc; would tell me that they found the fact that we followed all of our standards from the book to a T, shocking.
At Walmart, the coupon take off is given back to the customers in full. So if you buy a product you are dissatisfied with you could return and receive the full price back. The system doesn’t understand a coupon was used soooo You could stack this and earn not only your States taxes back but also the item in question. Other thing a code Adam is a missing child, code white is an act of violence, hearing someone say did you check for Bob and Lisa means to check the customer’s Cart. Both the top and bottom. You could easily rob your local Walmart, you just need to find out when they are picking up the night registers. There is never a working security guard after 8-9 in smaller older Walmarts. You can check this online, for your Walmart’s type. You would only have to deal with the CSM and the cashier they asked to help them; they are trained to just give into the customers/robbers commands and or demands. As Walmart has given them video style training on how to defend themselves, mainly it is run away, create space and lastly fight. If you call home office and ask for a gift card because the store Managers(s) didn’t meet your needs, most likely you will be accommodated if the asking price isn’t to high. Two days before the expiration date on baked goods or dairy/meat products are taken in back and are frozen, where they will stay for at least a day in a half before placed back into rotation just labeled/ marked down. Speaking of labels, if you want to save you can switch the clearance labels on clothing, the labeling system is a joke only spotting the date and month it was tagged or just the month and year. Don’t use it on brand new items and you should be able to “ trim fat” off your purchase. So Walmart’s take WIC, others do not, it’s known as “getting mi.”
Another fun fact is the "roll back" price is the actual original price something is to be sold for. When a roll back finishes they mark it up much more, then gradually decrease its price down until its back to the "roll back" price.
So if it costs 800 bucks to get a security system and all of its equipment, with some research and some DIY knowledge, you could make your own setup for way cheaper. You can get tons of sensors like motion sensors, reed switches, some web cameras, wire, a Raspberry Pi, and some other miscellaneous stuff for cheaper. Plus its expandable. You could have it email you on trigger, or maybe monitor said webcameras away from home. It could also be set up to record camera feeds onto an SSD. Or even with something like an old laptop, and something to interface the sensors with the laptop, you'd also be pretty set. Plus with a laptop, you'd have a battery for a few hours, in case of a power cut.
If you are at a restaurant that is really cold in the lobby, and they come up with some random excuse for why they can't (typically the cooks in the back), the reason it is cold is because they don't actually want you to stay there. Especially in fast food places, they want you to buy your food and leave immediately. They only offer a lobby cause people who come in, often want to stay there, but they actually don't want you to use said lobby.
I've noticed this at a particular Jack in the Box.. It's WAY too cold, plus theres a vent right over the tables, blowing freezing air on you the whole time.
on the teacher topic: In freshman year, I had an animation teacher who would constantly get high, show up halfway through a class, sleep in classes he was teaching, etc. The problem was, he was a very very experienced animator and graphic designer, and he taught almost every computer based class at that school. The district couldn't fire him, because they would end up having to hire four more teachers to cover all his different class types. so he had complete job security. This means he could do things like 1. show up to the teacher yearbook picture an hour late, wearing a tank top and sandals. they rescheduled the picture 2. smoke weed in his very visible car parked in the campus parking lot in front of the library. sometimes he would have conversations with kids leaving the library while doing so 3. get a kid kicked out of his class halfway through the semester for no other reason than the kid was an obnoxious jerk who would make fun of others work. He was a strange one, but I can't say i didnt learn anything from him
I always ask if theres more in "the back".... they should just have a store dedicated to "the back", and fill it with everything they keep in the back. It could be called.... The Front
People got food poisoning from the food at my first college all the time. Even from the chain restaurants on campus because the dorm kitchen supplied their meat to them. And I know the taco meat was at least a week old because I used to have to grind up the leftovers for them. But as soon as there was an outbreak, the Health Center employees were very quick to declare that food poisoning didn't exist and was impossible to have. wtf
I used to work at McDonald’s as Lobby, a.k.a Janitor. One of the rules the managers would impose on you is something called ‘the Goldfish Rule’. Basically, you’re a goldfish. Never stay still, never stop working, no talking to anyone, and look pretty ‘cause everybody is watching. I’m glad I don’t work there anymore to say the least.
That statement about sustainability at 11:04 is technically true but somewhat misleading. The main thing I hear in regards to something being sustainable is that it has to be environmentally friendly, socially beneficial, AND economically profitable (often shortened to "Planet, People, Profit"). This is known as the "triple bottom line" and a technology/method has to fit all three categories to be considered "sustainable". Though this depends on the system you use to determine sustainability (i.e. L.E.E.D.) Source: Minored in Sustainability for my undergrad. Learning about the triple bottom line was literally one of the first things I was taught in the intro course.
The story about the monitor companies reminded me that when I was helping my friend move in his new house a ADT salesman came to his door and my friend told him that he has a shotgun and a dog (Labrador that will literally bark at anything)for his security. The sales man literally said that his mom was raped and the dog watched and my buddy replies well if she also had a gun that would have been a different story and shuts door in his face

A friend of mine has told me all of the horror stories about DQ. At our local one (in a small town in Texas), they don’t wear gloves or hair nets.

For significant scientific results, saying that all people forge data is not true. I've been in labs that have been working for years to get results. They work with complicated machines that can go wrong with little changes in environment. Instrumental error and human error are hard to decrease in a lot of fields because they are dealing with very precise things. All I can say is, technology is still getting there.
Can confirm. Most scientists are working with complicated systems where their analysis might not be right the first or second time. No scientist wants a paper pulled because they weren't thorough. They're staking their entire reputations every time they publish or do a presentation. They're not just fudging numbers. Most are trying to make sure they interpreted them correctly. I even worked in a department that hired a statistician just to help people get their analysis and experimental design right. We actually do try pretty hard to get the math right.
Goodwill gets so much worse than just not washing the clothes. I worked there for a year. The company is corrupt and doesn't actually care about the community. Most clothes get shipped off somewhere to meet a quota, not recycled or shipped overseas to people in need. I've compacted buggies full of undamaged merchandise simply because the company demanded we have more of another type of merchandise instead. The break rooms, offices, and other staff rooms are usually furnished with trashy donated goods. These guys are sitting on millions and millions of dollars but can't afford to give their stores proper equipment. Sure, some employees and managers do care, but I've watched a store manager hide jewelry and name brand clothes that were donated and sell them off to a nearby pawn shop. The worst part was when people donated belongings of their deceased relatives in hopes it would go back to the community, only for us to compact and trash EVERYTHING and not even bother trying to give it away to any other charity.
6:55 In California you can take the CHSPE which is conducted by the State. So all California schools (high schools, junior colleges, and universities) are required to accept it as high school equivalancy. You can skip both junior and senior year of high school but you'll probably go to community college which is what I'm doing. But by going to community college you save a ton of money and after 2 years transfer anywhere in the country, you won't be restricted to just California since not all states accept the CHSPE. But since you're coming from community college as a transfer student they won't care.
Fun fact, McDonald's McCafe drinks are thrown together when they are busy, I dont think you will ever get the same quantity of ingredients 2 times in a row
Pizza Ranch employee, there are no hair or beard nets for anyone, and gloves are almost never used when handling food. If we can get away with giving you old food that we warm up we will absolutely do it. Also the boss takes most tips for himself

I work for walmart: We have a 10ft rule. If a customer comes within 10 feet of us, we have to greet them and ask if they need any help.
But most of us don't do it unless we're bored stocking and need a break.
Also, if someone is being overly helpful and asking you repeatedly if you need help, they think you're stealing.
Every black person who has stepped into Walmart knows that policy. Unless they think walmart staff are just the most helpful in the world.
The last one is pretty obvious if you have a brain and use it......
@SolQuik no, they cant actually do anything about it even if they see it.
the policy is not to get involved and let it go, they have to make the costumer to feel pressured and maybe that's gonna make him go away.
I work at a midwestern gas station/ convenience store and we are supposed to greet every guest who is within talking distance. I usually just give a friendly smile because some people really just want to get their bread and leave.

I worked at subway out of highschool and we had a deal where you could get a free cookie for doing a survey and kept the receipt. This 95 year old dude came in every day with 10 receipts. I'd ring them all up individually, apply the coupon, and it'd print out 10 receipts for him. Thats 10 more free cookies.
ooh, i need the location, imma go beg for cookies when he rolls by again😈😈
Bless your kindness. I’m sure that old man enjoyed the cookies and your extra effort
Your awesome my guy. I do the same thing at KFC.
now I know why all the coupons are sent through text messages instead of being on the receipt

I work at an international airport, anything TSA doesn't let through we can collect at the end of our shift, so long as it doesn't enter the post check section of the airport.
This means, free weed, alcohol, knives, lighters, hairspray, and other things. Thanks for trying forgetting you can't fly with your 400$ knife.
Where do I sign up??
Can people collect the guns if there are any? I'd imagine at least one person had their gun in their pocket or in their holster and they had to have it taken away at some point.
It's true! I had a friend in middle school who was wearing a necklace one day that I complimented and she told me her dad worked for TSA and gave it to her after it had been confiscated.
@BingoBangoBongo
Almost, but not quite.
Maybe extortion.
But they don't grab the item off you then let you go, they say that you cannot go through security with the item.
You are allowed to ditch your flight and leave with the item, (unless its illegal, like drugs)
In effect, any item worth more than the cost of getting a new flight is worth keeping, but anything less is worth surrendering.
@BingoBangoBongo ik some makes sense like fireworks n etc because sometimes they contain mercury which eats through aluminum (what planes are made of). I never understood the drinks part though.
Dominos in my town is pretty good and the tracker is pretty accurate, when it gets to the delivery bit its usually here within 10 mins. My favourite driver is a polish guy and his greeting is "hello my freind" its great
DRAMANAGE aww
A local pizza place around my area that we ordered from a lot has an Italian delivery driver. He always greets the door with “Ciao! My friend!” and we usually make conversation. During Christmas time he likes to bring us a small cake as a present.
@@drewwiseman3901 That's sweet, my Domino's is good too. The guy's probably just has bad employees.
I’m currently working for Dominos as a delivery driver! I should try adding “my friend” to my greetings. I do a treat bag with lollipops, dog and cat treats, too. Gotta make sure everyone is happy!
Yeah, my Dominos is pretty great too. I order from there a lot so I get those free deals and use coupons but I always pass the savings over to the workers in the form of tips (on top of what I already would tip) when I do.
I've worked in a department store and if you buy something on sale or with a coupon, you're not getting a deal, the prices are marked up, so they can be put on sale.
This. Always this
I am definitely more likely to believe sales at my grocery store. Furniture is not perishable and needs to be sold quickly.
this is illegal in several countries, btw
Why do misconceptions like this keep appearing?
It's like employees see a price go up due to inflation, then they see a discount being applied during a sale, and then concoct a conspiracy in their heads that after a product was marked down by 50% the week after the price went up by 10% that the evil business owners are intentionally screwing over customers.
Does it make people feel good to claim that department stores are evil, and that they are the brave maverick revealing their secrets to the world while the rest of the sheep employed by the corporation remained quiet? That's such a childish mindset.
@@justsomevids4541 The average markup for pretty much any industry is something like 400%. Yes, it costs $10 to make, but there are more costs inherent in selling it at a store that aren't as easy to quantify.
Maybe $20 is the bare minimum for making some kind of profit off of the shirt, while $40 is the price they'd rather sell it at because they can then have enough money to buy another shirt to sell. $20 is just what they sell the shirt at if they know that they won't be buying any more of that kind of shirt to sell, but they still need to make a profit.
The overwhelming majority of password policies in use today are doing the exact opposite of good security policy. Most places have you choose a bunch of upper case, lower case, numbers and sometimes even a symbol. This makes the password hard to remember without writing down (BAD) and (and this is the really terrible part) does not make the password harder to crack.
The most common way that people gain access to passwords is through phishing and social engineering. The complexity of a password's spelling has no effect on that.
That leaves brute force. And while adding more variables can slow that down, they are not nearly as effective as length. Every new character increases the amount of time needed to brute force a password exponentially. Most password guidelines force you to choose a password that can still be cracked in a few days. And the people interested in stealing passwords have nothing else but time.
We should be using passphrases, where we type in a fully punctuated sentence. Those are easy for users to remember, but a pain in the ass to brute force.
Instead we use short nonsense passwords which are easy to brute force and hard to remember.
This is true and a criminally underrated comment.
I have a sentence that I use for all my passwords, including numbers and uppercase letters! It's worked ok for me
But now several companies are claiming to have q-bits, which will eventually if they spread, make this system completely useless
Yo thanks for the heads up I’m about to change all my passwords to passphrases!
The worst part is many sites will limit password length, effectively limiting security
Here’s another one:
At Walmart, if you’re trying to buy something in store, you can match the price with the Walmart online website price, since the online price is cheaper. Employees always allow the discount, but not without me telling them.
Really sometimes their online is more expensive
Edward Dieffenbach I’ve heard about this but was too afraid to speak up :/
Sometimes their in-store shelf price doesn't match the register price. They'll give you the shelf price if you tell them. But when you have to do it for several months it becomes clear that the mismatch is store policy, and they're just ripping people off (and breaking the law.)

Worked at McDonald's for 2 years. Appalling health standards. And the employees/managers treated each other like absolute shit. We went through 4 general managers in the span of 2 years. The health inspector was never thorough and we somehow would pass all the time....bc we knew exactly when they were coming and they would make every one clean like mad. We had 2 species of cockroaches that they denied having. American and German roaches. I had one fly and land on me whilst I ate in the break room. Never ate in there again. Plus a customer found one in their big mac. People make the food without gloves, and don't wash their hands after going to the bathroom. Yuck. There's mold in the ice cream machine and tea dispenser nozzle bc the managers never clean it. Our supervisor reports any post that calls them out on social media so nobody knows the truth. Our drinking water tasted like horrendous mold and they lied and said it was drinkable. The homeless wouldn't even drink it in the 120 degree weather. They kept the toliet plunger touching the mop handle so your hands were infected with toilet germs then they would have you stop mopping to take a bag of food out to the customers and wouldn't let you wash your hands. Dead flies in our ice box too. It was so gross. Please don't ever eat at McDonald's they don't care about their employees safety let alone the customers health. Our location is on a highway so we get a lot of foreigners who would order coffee but we're given decaf all the time "because they can't taste the difference". I can't imagine someone taking a long road trip and stop for coffee at 3am only to later fall asleep at the wheel bc they were given decaf. It's fucked up. I refused to give them decaf and would make them wait the 3 minutes to brew a new one. The customers were the only ones who ever told me I did a good job. Managers told me I took to long washing dishes they don't really wash them more like rinse them off to make them look clean. The same rags we use to clean the tables are used to clean the bathrooms/toilets and they stopped using bleach to sanitize the rags. 10/10 would not ever eat there again no matter how much I'm tempted. Any time I did was usually accompanied by diarrhea.
120 degrees? Is this in Arizona? Cause I live there I need this location lol
dang, thats ruff, our McD's is reaally well taken care of, my uncle used to work there, and he said everything is squeaky clean, and showed pics, find a better location lol
Welp.... Never eating there again
My McD'd that I work it is actually really good and the employees are cool. It all depends on location since it's a franchise.
Definitely sounds like a location thing, but on the other hand, the fact this could pass anywhere for a mass chain is terrifying in itself
Former roaming Dunkin Donuts manager, worked 6+ years in the field... 20+ store in the north eastern region. That machine with the sugar in it get cleaned once a year at best. Things I have found in these machines; dead bugs, moldy munchkins and parts of moldy donuts. The inner working have a rubber tube that is light yellow and is supposed to be cleaned when it starts to turn to a more solid yellow color. 9times out of 10 it would be dark brown. Indicating its been over 6 months before cleaned. Ever see them shaking the machine around to get some more sugar out? Thats because the mold and other liquids that fall into the machine have clogged the machine and instead of cleaning it (too time consuming) most places just smack it around to break up the sugar so it comes out... Right into your coffee. Enjoy.
I needed to know this but I didnt need to know this
NoobMaster69 Now I'm glad that all the donuts at Dunkin Donuts were sold when Dunkin Donuts came to school.

Long haul reefer trucker here. Don't buy apples in October or November and into December. Every harvest season, they fill the warehouses full of apples. There they sit until shipped. But they ship the old ones before they ship any new ones. That means in October, November and into December - those apples are from last years harvest. They are literally a year old or more. Eat oranges during that time instead. By the time Xmas comes around, all of last years harvest is usually gone and they're starting to ship this years harvest. So December and January is when you see the freshest apples in all the major chain stores.
It really becomes a game between these chain stores and the apple producers to see who will accept shipments of bad apples during the months of October and November.
Also, look closely at your yellow onions. There should be no dark spots under the skin. Dark spots are usually mold.
jdlech luckily we do not have that issue here in south texas. Produce either comes from texas or mexico. Always fresh.
Except for that one time when we had the massive recalls for an E.Coli outbreak lol
Lol reefer trucker... I thought you were going to talk about marijuana.
How do apples last a whole year?
Network126 fruits and vegetables in certain regions between harvests are stored in cold storage warehouses.
@@Network126 They're stored just a fraction of a degree above freezing. And even then, a lot do not make it a year. Lots of apple shipments are rejected because they did not last a year. And a lot of producers try to jam bad loads through just to get rid of them. If the load is rejected, they don't even want them back. So we truckers end up taking rejected loads to various charities and to brokers at cut throat rates - practically free. I've done this several times and it's a royal PITA each time.

Most fast food stores are franchises. That means that the actual company, while having their name stamped on everything in the store, only really check up on the places maybe once a year if they feel like it. The guy in charge of the store is just some bloke who payed the dues to have it set up, and the quality of the stores are almost entirely based on management and the store owner.
Yep!
This applies to quick lube service centers as well, having gone from my (currently burned down) Jiffy Lube to one a bit closer to my home, and having worked at multiple Domino's, I can confirm that with those franchise-type establishments management is everything. If a particular store sucks total ass, just report that shit to corporate and try your luck at a different location :)
Worked at a few different Pizza Huts. Can confirm that it honestly only comes down to the managers. Unless you're the first store corporate visits, you know when they're in the area, who's been visited, and that you're going to be visited soon. So you go and you are doing everything right up until the inspector leaves. Literally once they leave and whoever your area manager is talks to the managers, it's back to "business as usual"
After dark, a certain fast-food place named after a redhead wants people to clean and make food at the same time. So don't go through drivethrough after the "dining room" closes--because you can't see any of the goings-on. The people making food are the same people tasked with cleaning everything up so they can get out as close to 1am as possible--and they both A) don't want to be there any longer than they have to be, and B) get yelled at if they stay too long past 1am.
You're trusting that the guy making burgers and fries washed his hands after he got done cleaning the bathrooms. You're trusting that that burger patty didn't fall on the floor and that the manager didn't pick it up and put it on a bun, because it was the only one fully-cooked at the time.

From going to a casino in my uni town, I can confirm the dealer wants you to win. A dealer at the place I went put his neck on the line teaching us how to play blackjack "correctly". Kept looking around to see if any of his supervisors were onto him
what did he say was "correctly"?
@@hubbcap18 probably something to do with a technique called "card counting"

I googled it, and the first thing that came up was the classic quote "On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everything drops to zero."
What? Do they want the problem gamblers to see you winning so that they continue gambling and eventually lose all their money?
Do they not care if you win hundreds of dollars because seeing you win has made someone spend thousands trying to win as well?
That's pretty cool. Any idea why the dealer wants you to win though? Is it because they're pissed off with how casinos scam people or something?

Giant Dad Predatory pricing, also known as undercutting, is a pricing strategy in which a product or service is set at a very low price with the intention to achieve new customers (Loss leader), or driving competitors out of the market or to create barriers to entry for potential new competitors.
Theoretically, if competitors or potential competitors cannot sustain equal or lower prices without losing money, they go out of business or choose not to enter the business. The so-called predatory merchant then theoretically has fewer competitors or even is a de facto monopoly.
Predatory pricing is considered anti-competitive in many jurisdictions and is illegal under some competition laws.
Giant Dad from Wikipedia btw.
@@DiscordCriminal Wow, lmao I've been a ruthless merchant in mmos then.
In a nutshell, companies don't care about the customer, they care about their money and will do anything to get it. Including misinforming you, deceiving you or just outright lying to you and your product is not nearly as quality as you think it is and is designed to break in a short amount of time so you have to buy another one replace it.
Former Ramp Agent here. You know the ground crew that you see working around the aircraft you just boarded? 90% of them are not even fully trained for their job. They are only fully trained "on paper" to make corporate look good, while in reality most of the training in done on the job as needed. According to my companies records I was trained on every piece of equipment there even though that was far from the truth.
@@xPRODIGYxGAMER It actually is a problem though. It's the lack of regulation/oversight that allows corporate to say we are fully trained even though it's never really validated. Because of this a vicious cycle is created where
1. The company can hire anyone even those without experience.
2. Because they don't have to fully train anyone they can give wages that reflect that. They also make sure the job is part time so they don't have to offer any benefits.
3. Due to the low pay, lack of benefits and working conditions, a high turnover rate is created. This justifies giving out training as needed but only because they refuse to give the training that would demand a higher wage and therefore longer term employees.
Furthermore, thousands of ramp accidents happen every year costing airlines worldwide roughly $10 billion and nearly all of them are due to a lack of proper training. Compared to the rest of the aviation industries safety record that is absolutely unacceptable.

I’m 16 and work for a grocery store with both an organic and non-organic section. The food in the organic room is virtually double the price, although half the time it’s from the same box as stuff that isn’t organic. This goes for most shops of these sorts. I feel so bad when I tell some short vegan with a backpack and glasses that everything in the room is organic and his eyes just LIGHT UP and grabs a bunch of shit. Of course some of it is, but there’s way too much stuff that is just grown regularly.
Lmao I was a bagger, then a night stocker, then a dairy lead. That shits crazy, I never knew what was going on with produce side. They always looked like butchers. Watermelon juice, blood stains, never could tell the difference.
Don’t feel bad. They’re vegans.

11:53 100 percent absolute truth. My mom told me this decades ago that her aunt worked at a factory and they would package all the brands there with the same vegetables. All the veggies came from the same place and they all went to all the sellers. LIterally, buying a stores cheaper brand is the same vegetables that you're paying premium for.
It's true for soup also, my uncle worked at Campbell's Soup. It's just bottom of the barrel with a generic label.
Same applies to cheap "supermarket branded" products.
If you see ASDA chocolate or Home Baking SuperValu Chocolate, or TESCO chocolate or LIDL chocoloate, it's all coming from the same place with a different packaging, the product - in the end is the same.
You can apply this to everything else as well, butter, ice cream, and whatever.
Most retail grocery workers know this as well
it's different when it comes to things that are packaged like jello or candies, meals etc.
Great value jello has some less sugar if i remember than regular brand, most of the cereals are about the same, all organic things (produce, meat) are basically the same as any namebrand
RoyalGaming won’t lie you can’t get Oreo o’s or reeses puffs for cheaper but they’re like the only ones I’ll pay the higher prices for
Worked at Taco Bell for two years.
The only fresh item we have is the cilantro. It’s so fresh i’ve found multiple bugs in the bags. If you go past 10pm and the restaurant closes at 1-2am, you’re eating food that’s been there for at least six hours. The black beans are made at 9am, and thrown away at 11pm. They will always be old when you eat them.
We sometimes made food without gloves and if we did wear gloves, likely didn’t wash our hands. Everything we serve, including the meats, we add water to so it’ll spread and make our food cost cheaper. The soda machines were CAKED with mold and we’d only properly clean every 4-5 months when health inspectors would come
Still it’s cheap and it’s good so idc
I like old food I guess then
I just ate there earlier today 😱😱😱
Like franchised chains, it depends on the location. The Taco Bell locations I've eaten at had decent food, and as far as I recall, I've never gotten the Brown Blitz from it.
tbh not wearing gloves doesn't bother me IF they wash their hands as well. Big kitchens in real restaurants often don't use gloves as they get in the way sometimes, as long as they wash often they're fine.
Sounds like your taco bell is way more disgusting than the one I'm at, not to mention that if you're not wearing gloves then you're part of the problem.
I worked at a Dairy Queen where the ice cream was recycled.
Since this location was individually owned, I can’t say for sure if it happened at any other location.
If a customer changed their mind about a cone once it was already made (which happened all the time) instead of throwing it in the trash, the ice cream was scraped into a bucket. At the end of the day, the bucket was emptied through a funnel and back into the soft serve machine.
Your ice cream cone may have been basically reincarnated. Cone-ception.
A DQ I worked at after college reused all the mismade ice creams and Blizzards etc, except we put them in pie shells instead and then sold them as ice cream pies. Nothing inherently wrong with it; no one had licked it or anything. One shift I got to do it and had a great deal of fun making up names for them--the person making them just blended together whatever flavours they thought would work well together out of whatever they had until they had enough for a pie, and then got to label them. No guidelines given on names. So I named a green one (it was mint or lime or something, dunno what, don't remember) Crunchy Frog Surprise. No one noticed the name, including the guy who bought it, because I ended up getting him at the till and asked if he'd noticed; he hadn't, heh. Assured him that no real frogs were involved; sadly, he was not a Monty Python fan and didn't get the reference.

I know... I laughed out loud at that one.
Did that while in the army aswell. Caught on in the first week of basic training they only check for dust, not wether it's clean or not. A lot easier to just do a quick dustsweep every morning than a full round of cleaning.

Sup Dude May I recommend Sweden, Denmark, or Finland as better alternatives? Even China/Japan are good options since they hold a high respect for English speakers with a high level degree and teachers are given their dues. (Not entirely sure how it would go with a foreign teacher teaching subjects other than English but that could be looked into I’m sure hehe).
You should teach in America but it depends what state. Some states pay more and value education more than others.
The textbook thing also applies to college. The reason why American colleges are so expensive is because of the cafes and restaurants they have within campus or maybe the arcade or nice pub and pools. Only like. 10% of the tuition actually applies to the education itself
oh NICE
MegaSocky because of the turnover rate for money right now, it's cheaper and better to go to college in Canada.

If you have stock in Lowe's, get rid of it now. The company has given up trying to compete with TSC and Home Depot and is basically pulling a Toys R Us and milking all the profit they can so the execs and shareholders can make out like bandits.
Also, Best Buy wants to go with a completely 100% shopping-free experience. What that means is soon every Best Buy will just be a counter you walk up to blocking you off from the store. You either shop online or at a terminal or ask employees for what you want, they bring it to you, then you buy it and leave. The idea is that it will cut down on shrink and store maintenance 100%. Walmart's pick-up system? Lowes'? Yeah, they stole that from Best Buy's seminars where they were discussing the idea. Don't treat your high level managers like shit if you don't want them to quit and then go give your ideas to competitors. Or in the least, make them sign an NDA before you lay out your business strategy - particularly when it's a Hail Mary.
In the UK we've had a chain of stores with this setup for decades, called Argos
I worked at a Portillo's (mid-high grade fast food joint in the midwest) and they have this chocolate cake shake that everybody loves. If you've gone there enough times you'll see the big selling point was that the shake had this "secret ingredient" that would make the shake taste so good. Admittedly, they were amazing shakes and there is not a single person I know that didn't like the shake.
The ingredient was mayonnaise. And not a little mayonnaise, like, a fucking _LOT_ of mayonnaise. I'm talking 1/3 to 1/2 of the shake is filled with gobs of mayonnaise, the rest is just milk and a slice of chocolate cake.
It was used to a surprising degree in a lot of cake recipes from like the 1950s; I think it was supposed to make it extra moist or something. It's basically eggs and vegetable oil.
I mean, if people like it, there's really no issue there lol. People find a lot of the food I personally love really weird, particularly for example how I like to eat Pickles. Covered in Black Pepper. It seriously makes them like WAY better, but you'd never see that considered a "normal" thing to put on a pickle. (there's a few spices that are really good on them as well, but pepper's by far my favorite, and the easiest to do, because you can literally throw as much or as little as you want on there.)

The education system is one of my main reasons in the belief that America is no longer a Democracy or a Republic but an Oligarchy the other reason is that top 1% of the people have more wealth than the 99% it's like they're lords over their land in a feudal system.
Edit: I have nothing to do with this comment section they took it to Communism and such. An Oligarchy is different and is more akin to a feudal system of government. Humble knight gives a good description of how an Oligarchy works.
And much of that money goes into insisting how free we all are. The modern Republican Party is literally built around this with the Democrats split between this and crazed SJWs. You really can’t blame people who turn to anarchism and communism when people that evil are on top.
The US is not capitalist anymore. It's a communist nation. It appears we have freedom but the deeper you go the more you realize the amount we have is actually so little.
Lobbyists and unions are largely the reason why. They try to curry political favors with big companies so they all get ahead while screwing the little guy. It's cronyism, not true capitalism.
Just look at Facebook, Twitter, and Google as examples of cronyism at work.
"Late state capitalism" is a Marxist sentiment, and Marxism places heavy emphasis on planned economies.
But literally anyone can move between classes if they put the effort in. In fact, if you live in a two-parent household, even if you start out poor, you're as likely to become part of the 1% as you are to remain poor or become part of the middle class. That wouldn't be possible in an actual oligarchy.
Wealth inequality is actually a sign of economic prosperity. Because if you start out from the agricultural era through the industrial revolution up to the information age, the more advanced a society becomes, the wider the gap between the poor and the rich becomes. And that's all due to the fact that the upper bound of possible wealth has increased. That's literally all it is. You can acquire more wealth with robots and trains than you could with farmers and horse carriages. And even then, the majority of the 1%'s (at least the businessmen's) wealth is in their company's stock, meaning they're supporting an entity that opens up job opportunities for people in a wide range of fields. Or, their wealth is in luxury items, which in turn opens opportunities for people who sell them and wouldn't have a large market otherwise.
The lower bound of wealth has just stayed the same - because the barest minimum that anyone needs is always food and shelter. And even then, automation has made it so those can be produced at a cheaper price. So even poor people have seen advancement in their life. It isn't like they're having their money taken away and given to the rich somehow (welfare cuts don't count, and slightly higher taxes don't either because none of that goes to anyone but Gov employees).
And rising minimum wage sounds great up until the point you realise prices would go up because the cost of labour would be added as an expense, and companies want to keep up their profits. This would also mostly affect smaller businesses that need low prices to compete. That, and if it's a low-skill job that anyone can do then they'll just automate your ass even quicker, like they did with kiosks meant to replace McDonald's cashiers.

A friend of mine is the owner of a semi-large musical instrument store. On the more expensive items, he'll only have one or two of it in the store with signs saying that supply on these popular items is almost gone and to buy it now at the "special deal" price.
He let me know that the price is the regular price and that he actually has dozens of duplicates of every item in the massive underground storeroom.
Though to be fair, all the prices listed in his store are more of a suggestion. If he likes you, he'll cut you a great deal. He'll even sell at-cost if you're a regular customer and you have a large order.
He only charges full price for people he doesn't really like or are clearly full of crap. Asshole tax he calls it.

When you ask if it’s in the back, 99.9 percent of the time it’s not, we mostly keep overstock or TVs or next seasons items in the back, but employees will walk to the back and stand there and pretend to look just to look like they tried. Cause people think we’re lying when we tell them we don’t have any in the back so they force us to lie by going to the back after they ask “ can you be sure? Go and check.”
When I moved back to this city for school, I needed a vacuum. Wally World had a display model for $35. Perfect size and price. They didn't have any on the shelf.

I used to work at a Cinnabon store. We would make "Homemade" lemonade but in reality it was just minute maid lemon concentrate mixed with water we would get from a big sink in the back of the store behind a door. The sink was three sinks connected. The first one was a sink filled with bleach water for dishes that we power hosed after soaking in water in a second sink. The third one was where we got the water for the lemonade. Also the churros,mini donut balls and cinnamon sticks weren't actually baked fresh. They were store bought and kept in a freezer in the back. Then we would take them out and warm them up in the oven.I have more if anyone is interested, I don't want this to be a longer post.
I used to work at an ice cream shop, when we don’t have enough coins for changes, boss just tell us to give a few random coins, most people don’t really check them immediately. This really annoyed me, so I quit.
I know retail work is always in question and there is always something shitty going on somewhere. The retail store that targets you with low prices is always talking about there recent spikes with profit. Ask any non manager employee. They cut virtually all full time hours and are driving out long time employees. I've seen two managers in tears because bosses above them are riding them so hard to reach near impossible goals. This company is taking everything out on dedicated employees. They do not deserve your business.
this is especially true for Walmart, one of my friends is dealing with this right now
Yup! Dollar General is a prime example.
My DM expects me to spread 113 hours between 8 hourly employees, only one of which is fulltime. The fulltime makes $10.50 as assistant manager, all the others make $8-$9 an hour and are lucky to get 20 hours a week.
How the hell do I motivate employees to not walk out much less work hard to achieve ridiculous goals?

Ghost Kid I used to work at dollar general and this sounds very accurate, made 8 bucks an hour and they wanted a ridiculous amount of work while I was there and only gave me like 20ish hours
I work maintenance at walmart so i never get hours cut since they basically NEED us to work. But we also haven't gotten more than a $50 bonus in roughly a year and a half due to our garbage store manager never being here and refusing to hire more people to cover, so our store currently spends like everything on hiring temporary workers, essentially running down our "bonus" at each quarter with how much is spent on temps.
I worked at Holiday Inn back when I was younger....never eat from the restaurant there. All they do is reheat leftovers they had for weeks, then sell it for top dollar. Additionally, if you know what goes on in the kitchen, you definitely wouldn't eat from there.
@Kitten Lyric yeah, I can't speak on all Holiday Inn's, only the one I worked at. I'm not gonna lie, because of the one I worked at, I judged them all to be the same way. The one I worked at was located in South Philadelphia, should had been top notch because the Philadelphia International Airport was only about 10-15 minutes away, all of the sports complexes was minutes away and etc. But it wasn't ran correctly. Hell, for about a month the 2nd and 3rd floors were infested with fleas. I guess that's why it didn't last, it was just recently sold and knocked down.
Used to work at Kohl's doing "ad set". Basically, it was an overnight shift where we went through and changed all the signs for the next day's sales. More often than not, only the name of the sale changed, but not the price. For example, the "40% Off" sign would be changed to "Weekend Sale" but the discount would still be 40% off. LIES.
My company has me put up "sales" signs that cover the original label.

If you live near a Krispy Kreme factory-store, you'll notice that It has a neon sign on the front that only goes on from 7:00-9:00 Both AM and PM.

I used to work at a pizza shop (one of em big ones). We dont use gloves. None of the big pizza stores use gloves. Hell, even the small stores dont use gloves. The staff is just supposed to wash their hands really good. I did, but alot of my coworkers barely ever did.

Second one reminded me of a *somewhat* related thing. Those 'faux fur' pom pom and rabbit shaped keyring things that seem to be so popular, often sold by chinese sellers (though also redistributed in the uk on ebay, amazon etc)? Not faux. Not even close. Most I've seen are real fur. The rabbit shaped ones are actual rabbit fur, usually from rex rabbits. I've had two rex rabbits. I know what it looks like. I know what it feels like. It's what those keyrings are made of. Also some people have cut them open and found the other side is skin. In fact faux fur in general needs to be treated with great suspicion. People still have it ingrained into them that fur is an expensive 'luxury' item and can't be in such cheap items. Fun(not-so-fun) fact: It often costs more to produce synthetic fur than to raise animals on chinese fur farms (where there are *no* welfare laws at all) and kill them for it. A lot of 'faux' items have been discovered to be real fur from all sorts of creatures - cats, dogs, racoons, squirrels, rabbits and more - when looked at under a microscope. Sometimes it's impossible to tell which animal but they can see that it's real fur as fur has a 'scaled' appearance under a microscope like human hair.
Ignition I bought one of those rabbit keychains from the mall before learning it was made from real rabbit fur. As a pet rabbit owner I was sickened. It should be illegal to sell a plush keychain without a label that says it's fabric content.

Amazon allows businesses/sellers to add alterations to their already listed products incase of updates however it is stupidly unregulated.
This means shady businesses who *had* a popular product can just change it with whatever they feel like whenever. *All while still keeping Hundreds if not thousands of good reviews for an entirely different product* ($8 Mousepad suddenly turns into a $250 “gaming chair”) .
Best (and only) way to tell is by checking the reviews as they’ll either be for a different product or obviously fake. Look at customer photos.
They do this because
A) The product they’re selling is new but they want to make it look popular so they can dominate that market quickly.
B) The product is old and did awful in sales and reviews on its own so they’re using the popular products listing to sell it
C) They’re scamming (check seller return policy No refund = AVOID)
even worse than that, if someone else (a competitor seller on Amazon) lists themselves as also selling that product, they can at some point also edit the entire listing, change the photos and descriptions, sometimes even changing the title also until the entire page shows something completely different than what you are selling. Then, if it is an FBA item, someone can buy it from you, have it shipped to them by Amazon, and file a complaint to Amazon that you sold them the wrong item. Amazon then blames the original seller of the listing that was hijacked, shuts down their account, keeps all of the money they earned since the last payment, and begins a process of 'inventory destruction' for anything of the original seller's inventory that remains in the FBA warehouse. All because some jackass system that allows people to edit your listing.
If they do that, they're putting their seller account at risk as that's against Amazon's policy.
I work in a rug store full of moths, we could be fired if we’re caught mentioning the moths.

Honestly reading all of these posts about the horrible health standards makes me grateful that I worked at Chipotle. It was without a doubt the most mentally and physically challenging job I’ve ever had but we also had insane health standards and practices that we maintained 24/7 year round. I actually never realized how much of a rarity Chipotle was in the fastfood world until new coworkers who had previously worked at pizza hut ,Burger King etc; would tell me that they found the fact that we followed all of our standards from the book to a T, shocking.
So Chipotle wasn't lying after all.

At Walmart, the coupon take off is given back to the customers in full. So if you buy a product you are dissatisfied with you could return and receive the full price back. The system doesn’t understand a coupon was used soooo You could stack this and earn not only your States taxes back but also the item in question.
Other thing a code Adam is a missing child, code white is an act of violence, hearing someone say did you check for Bob and Lisa means to check the customer’s Cart. Both the top and bottom.
You could easily rob your local Walmart, you just need to find out when they are picking up the night registers. There is never a working security guard after 8-9 in smaller older Walmarts. You can check this online, for your Walmart’s type. You would only have to deal with the CSM and the cashier they asked to help them; they are trained to just give into the customers/robbers commands and or demands.
As Walmart has given them video style training on how to defend themselves, mainly it is run away, create space and lastly fight.
If you call home office and ask for a gift card because the store Managers(s) didn’t meet your needs, most likely you will be accommodated if the asking price isn’t to high.
Two days before the expiration date on baked goods or dairy/meat products are taken in back and are frozen, where they will stay for at least a day in a half before placed back into rotation just labeled/ marked down.
Speaking of labels, if you want to save you can switch the clearance labels on clothing, the labeling system is a joke only spotting the date and month it was tagged or just the month and year. Don’t use it on brand new items and you should be able to “ trim fat” off your purchase.
So Walmart’s take WIC, others do not, it’s known as “getting mi.”
Prince13az I don’t know how much of this is actually illegal but it seems like a solid half 😂
Another fun fact is the "roll back" price is the actual original price something is to be sold for. When a roll back finishes they mark it up much more, then gradually decrease its price down until its back to the "roll back" price.

So if it costs 800 bucks to get a security system and all of its equipment, with some research and some DIY knowledge, you could make your own setup for way cheaper. You can get tons of sensors like motion sensors, reed switches, some web cameras, wire, a Raspberry Pi, and some other miscellaneous stuff for cheaper. Plus its expandable. You could have it email you on trigger, or maybe monitor said webcameras away from home. It could also be set up to record camera feeds onto an SSD.
Or even with something like an old laptop, and something to interface the sensors with the laptop, you'd also be pretty set. Plus with a laptop, you'd have a battery for a few hours, in case of a power cut.

If you are at a restaurant that is really cold in the lobby, and they come up with some random excuse for why they can't (typically the cooks in the back), the reason it is cold is because they don't actually want you to stay there. Especially in fast food places, they want you to buy your food and leave immediately. They only offer a lobby cause people who come in, often want to stay there, but they actually don't want you to use said lobby.
I've noticed this at a particular Jack in the Box.. It's WAY too cold, plus theres a vent right over the tables, blowing freezing air on you the whole time.
on the teacher topic: In freshman year, I had an animation teacher who would constantly get high, show up halfway through a class, sleep in classes he was teaching, etc. The problem was, he was a very very experienced animator and graphic designer, and he taught almost every computer based class at that school. The district couldn't fire him, because they would end up having to hire four more teachers to cover all his different class types. so he had complete job security. This means he could do things like 1. show up to the teacher yearbook picture an hour late, wearing a tank top and sandals. they rescheduled the picture 2. smoke weed in his very visible car parked in the campus parking lot in front of the library. sometimes he would have conversations with kids leaving the library while doing so 3. get a kid kicked out of his class halfway through the semester for no other reason than the kid was an obnoxious jerk who would make fun of others work. He was a strange one, but I can't say i didnt learn anything from him

That statement about sustainability at 11:04 is technically true but somewhat misleading. The main thing I hear in regards to something being sustainable is that it has to be environmentally friendly, socially beneficial, AND economically profitable (often shortened to "Planet, People, Profit"). This is known as the "triple bottom line" and a technology/method has to fit all three categories to be considered "sustainable". Though this depends on the system you use to determine sustainability (i.e. L.E.E.D.)
Source: Minored in Sustainability for my undergrad. Learning about the triple bottom line was literally one of the first things I was taught in the intro course.

For significant scientific results, saying that all people forge data is not true. I've been in labs that have been working for years to get results. They work with complicated machines that can go wrong with little changes in environment. Instrumental error and human error are hard to decrease in a lot of fields because they are dealing with very precise things. All I can say is, technology is still getting there.
Can confirm. Most scientists are working with complicated systems where their analysis might not be right the first or second time. No scientist wants a paper pulled because they weren't thorough. They're staking their entire reputations every time they publish or do a presentation. They're not just fudging numbers. Most are trying to make sure they interpreted them correctly. I even worked in a department that hired a statistician just to help people get their analysis and experimental design right. We actually do try pretty hard to get the math right.
I work for a very large grocery company. The larger the company, the more chances they have to milk every single cent they can.
Goodwill gets so much worse than just not washing the clothes. I worked there for a year. The company is corrupt and doesn't actually care about the community. Most clothes get shipped off somewhere to meet a quota, not recycled or shipped overseas to people in need. I've compacted buggies full of undamaged merchandise simply because the company demanded we have more of another type of merchandise instead. The break rooms, offices, and other staff rooms are usually furnished with trashy donated goods. These guys are sitting on millions and millions of dollars but can't afford to give their stores proper equipment. Sure, some employees and managers do care, but I've watched a store manager hide jewelry and name brand clothes that were donated and sell them off to a nearby pawn shop. The worst part was when people donated belongings of their deceased relatives in hopes it would go back to the community, only for us to compact and trash EVERYTHING and not even bother trying to give it away to any other charity.
6:55 In California you can take the CHSPE which is conducted by the State. So all California schools (high schools, junior colleges, and universities) are required to accept it as high school equivalancy. You can skip both junior and senior year of high school but you'll probably go to community college which is what I'm doing. But by going to community college you save a ton of money and after 2 years transfer anywhere in the country, you won't be restricted to just California since not all states accept the CHSPE. But since you're coming from community college as a transfer student they won't care.
