The "good" one on that picture looks nasty anyway.
While working part time in a factory for "raw tea" (not in tea bags but where you buy a whole pack) I got to know how these "fancy flavors" are created.
Its pretty much some cheap tea (could be random weeds even) in huge tanks, then you get like 20 liter canisters with artificial aroma to pour into the tanks. Also the tea that drop on the ground while filling up the machines gets swept together with a broom and thrown into there, with all the dirt.
Anyone in the UK, Comet and Curry's employees are able to give out 10-15% goodwill discounts if you can sweet talk them or haggle enough. Managers can give more if you take it higher.

what the fuck is that piece of vagina on the right
I used to work at an Autoshop. If you even remotely think you can do something yourself, do it. On my first day my boss taught me how to mark up prices and shit and make the customer bleed money out the ass. Not being a cock greatly helps not getting charged for random things.
Such as, the fucking door says EMPLOYEES ONLY. STAY THE FUCK OUT OF THE SHOP. I can't even count how many people would just walk right in as we are working on their cars. They would just stand there and watch and be like "What is that? Why are you doing that?".
And if you have a problem with your car and want it done immediately, nobody cares. So does everyone else with their car in the shop. Make an appointment and be there on time. Be nice the the mechanics or whoever you are talking to about your car. If you're polite or at least not an ass, we are usually much nicer about pricing and not covering your car in oil and grime.
Is this all [I]true? [/I]Well most of it... ?[I] :ohdear:[/I]
Most employees hate their jobs, and hate their customers. True story.

Also they both look disgusting
[QUOTE=CarlBooth;23542024]This.
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]
I would just go to the back stand there and then come back and say we have none, hell my supervisor even told me to tell the costumer to fuck off we have none lol.
also at the supermarket i worked at, at the end of each day a whole ton of bread and other goods from the bakery are thrown out into the trash, employees are not allowed to take any but they still do anyways.
[QUOTE=Catdaemon;23537347]The majority of high street electronics retailers are allowed to go 20-30% lower than the price displayed when making a sale. Usually involves buying "attachments", such as ink for printers etc but is a good way to save money if you're any good at bartering.[/QUOTE]
Damn. I have a low Barter skill.
I worked at McDonalds once, I took a shit and pressed it into a burger and fried it. Some poor fuck ate it
I got fired of course

Wat?
[QUOTE=GeneralSpecific;23534891]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.[/QUOTE]
Lucky, Where i worked they were in colors but not in order at all and it was very random. This means i had to check every one so i could arrange the bread in they way they wanted it on the shelf. I wish we could just wheel out the carts like some stores do and costumers take the bread of them.

Its a high-tech bong.
[QUOTE=Doozle;23538979]When you ask for us to check if something's in stock, we're probably not checking when we go in the warehouse because if it's not on the shelf we probably don't have it.[/QUOTE]
That almost sounds like $ears/Km@rt, if you don't find it in store, buy it online, but by the time you get to the store, what you paid for often will already be gone because their systems fail to keep track of things, which is why is was not in store to begin with, and new company policy no longer allows substitution for online bought items. So while you may end up eventually getting a refund by their $ manager, you wasted gas going to the store, and a lot of your day.
And don't get me started about high-tech bongs. It takes 10 minutes at least to get a camera, ipod, 360 or TV, because only certain managers are allowed keys to the electronic vault, and usually only 1 or 2 people are there who have those keys and not even their security is allowed to open those doors up anymore, so if someone in front of you has to get something from there, it f's up the wait times for you and everyone else, those keyholders are not going to be able to constantly go back and forth to take care of this, not to mention the above when their computer systems give false info about their inventory, and with that, the 5 minute get what you paid for policy that company promised is useless based upon their other craptacular inconvenient double crossing customer policies, of course I'm gonna get my ass canned for blowing a whistle here if they so happen to find out.
If you ever go to Pizza Hut, most of the buffet (most of them have it) food has been sitting there since 11 AM. That is, of course, you see someone bringing out a fresh pizza. Only eat the buffet if it is really busy.
I work at taco bell, i cum in your tacos. i don't give a fuck.

Not funny.
Also, I used to work at a particular shop. Don't EVER eat any of the food that's reduced at the front of the store.
My job was finding expired food that looked edible, re-wrap it, and slap a new date on it. This is a pretty high-end shop, too, so this applies everywhere.
About none of this seems right, and about all of this is probably untrue.

Sadly a lot of it is, I've worked in quite a few restaurants and I can confirm these.

ditto. This is why I am always as nice as I can be when I order food from anywhere.

That or I cook my own food. Making your own food is the only way to be sure you're safe.

Even that doesn't mean you're 100% safe
[QUOTE=Tabfilms;23546888]Even that doesn't mean you're 100% safe[/QUOTE]
True, but you're much safer cooking your own food than having someone else do it.
I work in a restaurant and if I happen to be on the till and I get some asshole obnoxious customer, the receipt with their order and number on I'll throw away meaning delays and an even more pissed off customer.
I worked at this country club in Ct for a while in the kitchen; let's just say stuff falls on the floor a lot.
I suppose it isn't really a secret but in England there is going to be a film on called Dive with Jack O'Connell from Skins in, and I've seen it. I could spoil the plot for you if you like (PM me). But Shhhhh because I don't want to get into trouble.
