I work at olymel flamingo (chicken and porc compagny). we receive chicken at our warehouse that have a "fabricated date" of two or three day laters. so when you buy chicken at your grocery store, at kfc and whatnot. remember that it has been more than two month between it and your plate
There is weed growing in one of the woods in our city. It gets mowed down all the time.

[QUOTE=sp00ks;23547251]I work at a grocery store. When I say I'll check in the back, I'm actually just going to get a drink of water or sit and stare for a while before I go out and tell the customer the item they were looking for isn't there.[/QUOTE] Am I really the only one who does this?
I have several friends who work in fast food, almost all of this shit doesn't happen.
[QUOTE=Jsm;23595013]Yes you can own shotguns and rifles in the UK if you can prove you have a valid reason (self defence is not one) and can prove you have a place to store it safely. There's some other requirements, like being mentally stable and having not been convicted of certain crimes.[/QUOTE] in the uk its every persons right to own a shotgun; the police have to have a reason why they wont give you a shotgun certificate. to get a rifle you need a firearms certificate - much harder to get. to get that you need to prove that you actually need a rifle. you need to prove you have adequete land to shoot on and a valid reason for owning one.
[QUOTE=Hamushka11;23534419]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[/QUOTE] I can't believe this man has almost 5x as many dumbs as he does agrees. In the US, I've heard cases of people being refused life saving treatment because their insurance is literally just ONE FUCKING PENNY. below what is needed to cover it. So, because of one tiny little penny, people have died. US healthcare is so fucked, it's disgusting. If you're even the tiniest bit below covering a life saving operation, you don't get it. And you die.
I had a cousin who worked at Hungry Howie's and he said all the employees stir the sauce with their bare arms, no gloves or sleeves.
[QUOTE=Callius;23598463]I really doubt if the bridge thing is true (which it probably isn't) that it's a secret, seeing as a facepuncher knows about it.[/QUOTE] I looked it up a little bit and it seems that at least in the past it was done. A bridge apparently blew up after it was struck by lightning due to the explosives packed into it. [QUOTE=mikeyt493;23600150]I can't believe this man has almost 5x as many dumbs as he does agrees.

I have heard stories of pay outs being refused (for insured people) after a medical condition is found out to be either life long or something from birth. Its crazy, I feel quite lucky to live in a country where I can go to a doctor or the hospital without having to worry about costs or anything (the only issue is the apparent huge waiting lists which I have never encountered). I guess prescription charges could be another issue (but a minor one), damn the Welsh with their free prescriptions.

I have been wondering about the details for ages. Its not clearly explained on the internet.
[QUOTE=sp00ks;23599883]Am I really the only one who does this?[/QUOTE] No, I did that a couple of times after I had worked in grocery in a supermarket for a while. I did it because the stuff they wanted was never there anyway, and usually they asked for stuff that other vendors came in and stocked and so it wasn't there. And lots of time the really rich ones wouldn't go away, until I went back and double checked. Because there MUST be some more back there. So I would go back and then out and say nope still out, nothing back there. It wasn't like stuff got off of trucks in midday either, only at night.. so if we were out we were out the rest of the day at least :|
I used to work as a cinema projectionist a few years back. It really isn't like people imagine. First off, you don't sit and watch films all day. I had to single-handedly look after all 14 projectors and their associated sound systems and lighting. Plus do daily maintenance when I could fit it in, check in new films, make-up, break-down, sign off films to go back to the distributors, manual changeovers... All the while the cold, the darkness, moving shadows, constant noise and complete detachment from human contact would slowly drive you insane. But it was fucking awesome. Basically the trick is to be able to manage the schedule so that you find time while everything's running to do the other jobs, like making-up (films come in broken into around 5-7 reels, they have to be spliced into one continuous reel to be played, takes about 10-20 mins each depending on interruptions), breaking down (the opposite of making up, to be done before sending films back to the distributors) and fun stuff like grease changes or cleaning portholes and lenses or sweeping the floor. OK, the pay is shite, the work is repetitive, you're on your feet the whole day, you're only noticed when something goes wrong, the hours are terrible and you endure conditions that were outlawed by the Geneva convention...but it's...actually the worst job I've ever had... :sigh:
At Canadian Tire if the employee says there is one in stock according to the computer don't get mad at them when they cant find it it just means the manager isn't doing there job of writing off lost or stolen merchandise. Also if you work there and they know which car you drive dont make sure when you go into the pizza shop across the parking lot make sure the managers daughter doesnt have your car towed for being parked in the customer parking.
[QUOTE=Zoo;23586508]That's why you buff up your immune system by giving it some hardcore shit. If you don't hesitate to eat stuff off the ground then you will be fine. Most of what people think is unsanitary is all in there head anyways. Real dangers lie in undercooked shit. Humans have been cooking meat for thousands of years. There is no adapting to that shit.[/QUOTE] The Eskimo people of the far north of Canada eat raw meat. Raw seal and raw caribou meat are 2 of the healthiest types of food there are and they basically survive off those alone. And it's not just the meat, they eat the entire body still-warm or frozen, organs and all.
I have a friend in the airline industry. If you are ever in the airport and they keep delaying a flight for bogus reasons like an unspecified mechanical error, they either A. Do not have a plane for you or B. Didn't fill the planes seats. When they don't fill the planes seats you have a good chance of them not flying the flight.
Dont ever buy anything from sears that you have to get from merchandise pickup ( where they bring it you your car) we are on a 5 minute guarantee from register to car and we get in trouble if it doesn't get out in time. This means flustered and pissed off MPU people. We used to grab vaccumes off the shelving that was 4 large steps up and fling it off the top and bring it you you, walk around throwing our box cutters at boxes then bring em out,and the stuffs so packed together its hard not to break it trying to bring it out.
[QUOTE=sp00ks;23599883]Am I really the only one who does this?[/QUOTE] I said I used to; [QUOTE=CarlBooth;23542024] Also, as said previously, when you ask someone at the supermarket to go in the back to check for stock, they don't. I used to just go for a piss or something.[/QUOTE]
A chicken patty at McDonalds has over 30 ingredients
I work at McDonalds, and when we grind up the meat and stuff they tell us to put in meal worms with it to make more. [editline]03:32AM[/editline] so there a mealworms in your patties
[QUOTE=ComanduMambu;23595523]I am Swiss and what the fuck are you talking about? You get a SIG 550 with 50 round case of 5.6mm and you can only open that box in the case of war. You only get the P220 if you are higher ranked, my brother is Wachmeister and he didn't get a P220. There is a mandatory gun training for every soldier that finished his military service and needs to refresh his shooting skills every year, if you didn't shoot a certain amount of points you would have to do the program again until you have shot enough points Pretty weird is that there is a pre military youth shooting program, we used to be able to take our Stg. 90 home but not anymore since some stupid liberals changed the rules.[/QUOTE] Okay, chill, I was only repeating what a friend's grandfather said to me (since he collects surplus weapons and knives etc.) and he lived in stayed over in Switzerland for a while.
Different branded butter can be made by the same company. McDonalds 30 minutes fresh rule = in reality 4 hours fresh.
[QUOTE=Bronsbey;23534233]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.

I hope god he didn't.[/QUOTE] I heard that too or it might have been at Hungry Jacks in Perth, someone used to jizz into the burgers.

Unless you are really tough and can easily fight off 20 100 pound kids, DO NOT work at a summer camp. You get paid more per hour bagging groceries, and it is very dangerous. I've broken arms and been punched in the stomach and balls so many times. Also, if you get a work related injury there they don't do anything about it.

The volunteer crew at fire stations and rescue squads are probably the most immature people you'd ever come into contact with. We dick around like CRAZY at the station. We will also make fun of your call before we get there because 99 percent of the time, your call is fucking retarded.

if you eat at Chipotle or any other place that has the soda machine accessible to everyone and not behind the counter, ask for a water cup (it's free) and then just go over and fill it up with soda. at Chipotle, it saves you $1.50-$1.75 :smug:
