Tell us a secret you know because of your work that others might not know
390 replies, posted
As I was inspired by this thread at Sherdog([url]http://www.sherdog.net/forums/f48/tell-us-secret-you-know-because-your-work-others-might-not-know-1266333/[/url]), it would be cool if the working members of Facepunch shared their work secrets that aren't common knowledge.
A couple of examples from the Sherdog thread:
[quote]No matter if you buy a cut of fish that is $60 from a fancy restaurant or you buy it for $8 per lb. at a market, all fish is equally fucking disgusting how it is handled from ocean to your plate. Routinely just placed on nasty floors, on tables with tons of guts and other innards. Health inspectors are either bribed or simply turn a blind eye.

[quote]Well back in the day i used to work at Mcdonalds and we used to use this stuff called FORMULA 47 which was made with beef tallow. we wouldnt ever change the oil where we cooked the fries we would scoop two big amounts of this formula into the vat and watch it melt in there. The stuff was pure white looked like lard one of the grossest things ive ever seen.
Also the mcchicken patty on the box the ingredeints say ground up chicken skin and meats.[/quote]
[quote]Do NOT look at the magazines in a hospital. They are loaded with Staph. If you can avoid it, don't go into a hospital waiting room at all, actually. Also, have other people push the buttons in the hospital elevators.
Oh and you assholes who take the staff elevators/sit on the beds in the hallway: Enjoy the viruses you pick up from the biohazard.[/quote]
[quote]I use to work at Levi's jeans and in Europe wearing Levi's 501 jeans is a sign that you are a gay man ready to have sex! Also on the Levi's leather patch in the pack of the jeans there is a hidden gay picture don't remember what it was but my manger showed me once. Its to guys pulling on something.
I use to work at Wendys, never ever it the chilli!!! Its all the left over old greasy hamburger meat that is piled up in grease and thrown into the chilli pot but and sits there for days. Also in wendys employee's are allowed to stick there dirty hands and grab nuggets and fries every time they walk by. Also the hamburgers are not frozen and very bloody, they are in packs in the freezer filled with blood, I remember having cow blood all over me at times.[/quote]
[quote]I work at a grocery DC. All the bottled watter that you (morons) buy at the grocery store has probably been sitting in a hot warehouse for several months, giving it plenty of time to absorb the plastic flavor/poison. Also, probably half of all Pringles cans have crushed chips in them from being thrown around/dropped etc.[/quote]
Why would we do that?
beer that's "expired" according to the stamp (in western countries) on the bottle is generally sent to countries like poland and the like, as it's only expired when flakes start appearing.
might be commonly known, might be not.
At Red Rooster in Australia (I don't know if it's outside ze motherland) we've fried insects in the cooking oil, then cooked food. Apparently someone jizzed in a burger, it's not confirmed, but I know the kid and it's exactly what he would do. I hope god he didn't.

I found today that if you microwave whipped cream, it turns back into normal (whipping) cream.
I was making a birthday cake for my mum. She said it was the best birthday present she had ever got :3:
Pharmaceutical companies aren't actually out to get you, and they're pretty good, if strict, to their workers.
Yeah, not interesting, but people seem to think they're the root of all evil.
The hospital one seems pretty dumb to me so I shouldn't go and sit down in the waiting area for blood tests because it's supposedly crawling with some sort of horrific diseases? I don't think so.

Some of it is right, you shouldn't go poking around where you don't need to be, and you should avoid touching things in general while in a hospital. This helps guard you against nosocomial infection.
It's not as bad as the post says, though.

Knowing that there is a cure for diabetes but not producing it because it's more profitable to sell blood sugar meters and insulin is pretty evil if you ask me
Ugh, I work at Safeway.
It's just like a big highschool you get paid for really. Nothing special.
One time I moved a stack of eggs in the back and broke an egg in a little 12 pack with my feet. I was sad.

lol. You actually believe that? You have no idea how research & science in general works, do you?
As a lifeguard, I learned that innocent children drown because you touch yourself at night.
Inspired by Sherdog is one thing I NEVER thought I would hear.
At my last job I found out that alot of people are insane.
Literally insane.
I know a bunch of government stuff, because I work at a research facility as a IT Support/maintenance person.
Not telling you anything, because everything I know is highly classified.
I used to work in an expensive restaurant, if you ordered something on the menu that was popular chances are you would get a meal that had been cooked 2 days previously when it was quiet and it would simply be thrown in the microwave 5 minutes before serving it.
Also the soup of the day was just the soup that was left over from the previous day with a couple of extra herbs thrown in

Because we can totally know who you are and find out everything about you.

No, because everyone who works here makes a professional secrecy vow to not spread anything concerning research results, people involved etc... to the public.

If you did I don't think you would go out telling everyone that you know highly classified government stuff.

That doesn't tell you much now does it?

Reminds me of my friend. He used to write for a local newspaper, and one time a 15 year old girl run away or went missing or some shit (she was later found) anyway.. so when he got back from work he wrote on his facebook "Finding a fat blonde girl in *towns name*, like finding a needle in a haystack" got fired the next day

Bread is delivered to our stores five days a week, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Each day has a differently colored twist tie.
They go:
[LIST]
[*]Monday - Blue
[*]Tuesday - Green
[*]Thursday - Red
[*]Friday - White
[*]Saturday - Yellow
[/LIST]
As you can see, the colors are arranged alphabetically! Keep this in mind when buying bread.
