As the topic says, things you've learned from whatever jobs you've held.

 

Euro-Pro makes, among other things, vacuums, and as such, has to test theirs and the competition's to see how they perform. If you've got the money, do not buy a Dyson. They have pretty crappy suction. Hell, vacuums in general suck at cleaning. Get hardwood floors, or tile, or whatever, just not carpets.

Never eat at Burger King...

How to handle an axe

People don't understand lime. It doesn't burn you, and it won't make bodies dissolve. I think people confuse it with lye.

Soylent Green is people.

I'd like to keep my job so... no.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

I know almost everything there is to know about cigarettes

If you belong to a online movie service, and we lose it, we scan in the ID number anyways, and pretend it was lost in the mail.

I thought the Dyson guy spent his whole life making a vaccum that didn't lose suction.

 

Man...he wasted his life apparently..

 

As for what I know..

 

If you eat somewhere a lot, dont send your food back to the kitchen all the time, especially if you dont tip well too.

[Your Paragon of Virtue]

I just copied and pasted the shit from the last post, five seconds ain't a lot of free time guy.

 

I worked in a warehouse for awhile, shipping car parts and in another shipping computer parts. Needless to say, there's lots of throwing, crashing, and "Oh, who gives a shit?" goin' on.

[AboveAverage484]

You can save a lot of time washing dishes if you don't use soap.

[The Amazing Rando]

From Burger King - don't buy the chili, or the fish

 

From Long John Silvers - That shit can get pretty raunchy if it sits under a heat lamp for an hour or two.

 

From Disney - lots of people smoke pot. (of course) ...and Mickey isn't real

 

From my time in TV news - if you don't work in the main headquarters of the station, you don't do much of anything but sit around.

 

From my time in radio - paper cuts FUCKING SUCK.

[tominator89]

I'm sure this is a no-brainer, but from working at Staples, never listen to anything the salesmen tell you.

[LaParkaMarka]

When a programmer says something can't be done, it's only true maybe half the time. The rest of the time, we're just lazy.

Dairy cows are fed the returned out of date products, like yogurt and sour cream, mixed in with their regular feed. At least that's how it is at the company I work for. No idea why, mind you.

 

Also, and I would think everyone knows this already, anything with an expiration date is merchandised by newest in the back/bottom and oldest in the front/top.

[rising up out of the back seat-nuh]

If you get put through to an Indian contact centre, try hanging up and calling back. Nothing racist, they just suck.

 

Also, If you're short of money, try blagging some money from a bank (eg, cashpoint didn't give me money, someone stole my card and used it, you didn't cancel this payment when I asked you to). If it's a fairly low amount, they wont check to see if they owe you it.

[Guest MikeSC]

The grease from Olive Garden's "food" can eat through shoe leather. And they own Red Lobster, too.

 

Oh, and BlueCross/BlueShield HATES you. With a seething, burning passion.

Yeah, my friend works for HSBC and says the exact same thing.

[Guest Fook]

I know know how to sharpen knives, that a slaughter house kill flooor ain't as bad as everyone thinks, the finer points of grinding hamburger and that pigs can deafen people with thewir squeals.

I heard it's not really a floor, but more of a steel grating that allows material to sluice through so it can be easily collected and exported.

The grocery-buying public are at least 50% mentally ill

[welshjerichomark]

Kaolin and Morphine is the most commonly abused over the counter medicine and it only costs £1.25.

 

Always buy a shops own brand medicines because its exactly the same. Especially with antihistamines, if you ask some Pharmacists will sell you the generic for a fraction of the price.

[Giuseppe Zangara]

I'd like to keep my job so... no.

Same here, though, I don't work for Comcast.

[Guest CronoT]

90% of the people who shop at Wal-Mart are fucking morons, and will believe anything you tell them. The other 10% shop there because they know they can get everything for dirt cheap, and exploit it as far as they can get.

[Dr. Tom]

You aren't cleared for that information.

[Ace309]

The letter you got from your state legislator was written by a high schooler, edited by a college kid and stamped by his chief of staff. He looked at it, once, the first time they mailed the form letter, six months ago.

I thought that was obvious to everyone....

[2GOLD]

Most reporters don't like you and would be glad if hundreds of you died in a train accident they could report live from that might get them a big network job.

 

And they don't believe in compassion, so don't bother asking. You are better off trying to play texas hold em with a one eyed dog named Pogo.

[Ace309]

You'd be surprised how many people called and asked for the legislator, or who wrote thank-you letters for the wonderful personal correspondence.

Well, I didn't work for KFC, but my friend told me the habits of one he worked at.

 

 

 

Well, at that location, my god, they are VERY unsanitary with food. Chicken is cut on the same boards, whether its RAW or cooked. Nice one, because that's the perfect way to spread bacteria. They re-use oils, so like, sometimes, the food has the taste of the oils. People worked there with no gloves, and while they were sick. MEAT has fucking dropped on the floor, and all they did was wash it off.

 

That was in the location nearest me, and since he told me that 2 years ago...I have stopped eating at that particular KFC. I really hope that's not the case in every other KFC.
