If you are debating whether to buy from Best Buy, do it online. They have the retail monopoly on computers/electronics/hardware, so they can jack up their prices all day long and you're forced to buy it. However, all of their deals occur online and rarely do they apply to in-store bought items. Food for thought.
Every time you leave your PC / cellphone on a stone for repairing the first thing they'll do is look for porn, pics of you and other stuff. The guy who will speak to you at a store who's all nice and takes time to explain things to you and really looks like he's enjoying your questions is most likely just ranting in his mind about how he hates you and wants you to go get raped.
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.
I work at X and I cum in your Y. This thread in a nutshell.
Not much of a secret but I work at a place that was the location of the first UFO research station sponsored by the Canadian government. A cookie to who figures it out first.
I worked at Alton Towers for a year, staff had competitions on who could make rides break down the longest. I thought it was really fucked up and dangerous (E.g. putting pennies on the tracks, accidentially kicking objects into the rails etc) until I joined in, turns out seeing 100 faces pissed off is quite the stress reliever

[QUOTE=Boomslang;23535657]I work in a supermarket (I'm not going to say which one) and I work on the grocery section on certain days. Let me tell you, avoid the unpacked fruit at all costs. When the packed fruit goes out of date we have to tear open the packets and put all the fruit into a crate which is put out to sell usually it gets sold before it goes mouldy.[/QUOTE] That's only at your shitty supermarket. Trust me, it's not like that everywhere.
I was at a drive-through at an In-n-Out. They had the windows in where they had the workers making the food. I saw one of them sneeze without covering his mouth. I didn't eat the burger they gave me afterwards.
[QUOTE=Sharp;23548725]That's only at your shitty supermarket. Trust me, it's not like that everywhere.[/QUOTE] My work does the exact same thing. Also. ALWAYS wash any loose fruit or veg you buy. The vast majority of the people who work it aren't exactly what you would call hygienic.
well at my suppermarket where i work we keep all the bread and stock (frozen and dry) in a room that is 32C - 35C. our frozen stock is always melting and being refrozen, and the bread will last no longer than a day or two.
My sister worked at a "Cheesecake factory"(it's a restaurant, just to inform you if you didn't know), and the majority of their cakes aren't baked daily. Some of the most ordered ones for deserts/pick up are kept frozen, and warmed up slowly in some device they have.

I learned that working for an old man who owns a small fruit and veg shop is lovely, he's the most genuine guy I've ever met and actually loves what he does. The pay is bad, but I only help him unload the van and get the fruit and veg into the shop because he can't, and It would make me feel bad if he was to struggle by himself.
That Wendy's one isn't true. I've worked there before and they don't actually have that. The packages that the burgers are kept in aren't actually as full of blood as that guy/girl claims. There's a bit of meat juice and blood but it hardly ever gets messy. Chili thing isn't true either they use separate meat packs for that.

I was helping out at the local PC repair shop and an old fellow had some problems with his PC (viruses, bluescreens, slow, etc). The first thing the guys in the back do is look for porn, and boy did they found some nasty porn. They found a bunch of videos and pics of different animals fucking and cumming. They didn't tell the old guy that they found it ofcourse, but every day he came by to "check" that everything was alright. I love that place.

I used to work at a retail store. If the rails don't have the sizes you are looking for, ask a member of staff to check out back for you. If they reply something along the lines of "I know we haven't any" reply with something like "Well can you look anyway please?" - they have little choice of doing it for you, and 9 times out of 10 the sales assistant will be so bone idle and lazy they'll use it as an excuse not to have to go look. Once they are out there they'll actually realise that they might as well look for your size and will actually spend a little while hunting around for it, and if they DO find it for you you'll have put them in a good mood for the rest of the day - they like helping customers, even if they ARE lazy.

If there is a discrepancy we HAVE to give you the lesser price.

[QUOTE='[ToRn];23535519']I used to work for a cable company who came into your home to repair/install what you needed. If you're an asshole, we'd tell you we can't do shit and you'll have to call the head office to sort it out and call in a new guy. If you ask for our contact details, we'd give you a fake number and drive off. We had other homes to go to where they probably won't be bitchy and we'd get paid, instead of hanging around your crappy attitude for hours for that single job missing out on the cash of the other appointments after you. If you weren't an asshole, we'd take GREAT care not you damage your home while bringing in the ladders, drilling holes etc... We'd even clean up after our mess.[/QUOTE] I want to punch you so hard if you actually did that. Thats really fucking mean.
When you go to the shop to have your car fixed, talk to the guy actually doing the fixing. Never trust the customer service flack who serves as the go-between, because they lie. All the time.
I did work experience at a tech support center which charged way, way more if the problem needed a call-out, and thus they solved almost all the problems they received over the phone. Now, because of this it was basically a bunch of twenty-something geeks in a small office for hours and hours at a time. When the boss suggested a few rounds of CS:S to pass the time on a slow day, nobody refused, and I'm told that since then they've all been banding together to program and play games in their spare time. Tl;dr Tech support don't give a solitary flying fuck about your issue, and want to get back to what they were doing previously. The business is still afloat, by way of being the only tech support company that isn't just a VOIP line to New Delhi. This moral is true for every tech support worker who isn't a minimum wage Pakistani.
I don't work on commercial jets but I know this because my father tells me. Sometimes when you do certain repair work on airplanes you need an FAA Representative/inspector to sign it off before you can fly the airplane. Sometimes mechanics forget to get the representative when they're doing the work and put the aircraft all back together. The result is that they would have to tear the aircraft down and redo the job again to get the inspector to sign off. 90% of the time if this happens they just bribe the inspector to sign off on it without redoing the job.
