Secrets Of...

Haha, yeah! We used to send each other to hump/spank the ugliest person in the store in the hopes that they would get caught. It's always a treat when they do. If the customer is pissed off and yells at them, it's hilarious, but it's even funnier when they take it as a cue to ask them out xD. One poor girl was terrible at it, so she was asked out pretty much every shift.

We always used to rush for the friendliest looking customer. A great customer can just make your day if you're on the tills for hours.

Government departments are bloated, inefficient money drains who will pay silly amounts of money for simple contracts simply because they have to spend all of their budget, and don't let any wide-eyed socialist redditor tell you otherwise.

If you pay for Indian outsourced programming companies, expect...no, just don't expect anything.

Tech support involves replicating the problem in the local environment, then Googling it.

You know all that Linux/FOSS cool stuff you read about on the internet? Yeah, businesses don't use it. They'd rather pay obscene amounts of money for Microsoft software because, well, if it costs a fortune, it must be good! Bash scripts won't get you a job.

I could delete the entire school national exam mark database if I wanted to. Who's laughing now, teachers who said I'd amount to nothing!

That SQL script I sent you that has only been tested on our local test DB server? Yeah, for God's sake, run it on your test server first before running it on the live system because I am not a wizard and it's not my fault if the entire database disappears in a puff of smoke.

McDonalds:

everything is gross.
100 percent beef patties with 5 percent filler
we never use gloves
if you piss off the order taker the people making the food WILL do gross things to it.

You are all awful people. And the reason why we can't have nice things.

This thread has opened my eyes to the fact that fast food/restaurant people are about ten thousand times more vengeful than us retail sods.

The store was clean. Everything meant the food

What about me? I worked as a waiter in a Pizza Hut and have spent the last 10 years or so working in Retail. Hell I must be some kind of monster!

As for trout we'd do in the restaurant? Well,

I worked in an area with a high Arabic Muslim community level. In fact a good 60% of our customers would be Arabic. you'd see them coming in a mile off especially the ones who didn't speak much English. When approaching them you'd go to take the order and they'd order a meat feast, everytime. We would politely inform them "I'll just double check this, you want a meat feast? I ask because it contains ham, pork and pepperoni, pepperoni is pork and beef mixed together. Are you sure that you would like to order a pizza containing pork?" The person ordering invariably would fail to understand us saying "pork" and "ham" and clearly just hear beef and confirm it. Sometimes if we were in a good mood we'd "screw the order up" and order them chicken supreme because they'd never complain anyhow and just eat it. If however we weren't in a good mood we'd deliberately put the order through.

18 minutes later I'm delivering a pizza laden with pork to a family of Muslims. Invariably they would look at it and go "This pizza has pork? Ham on it? We cannot eat this, it is against Islam" to which I would reply without fail "It's not pork, it's chicken and beef" and walk away they ate EVERY SINGLE SLICE and LOVED IT. They would love it so much that sometimes they'd order a second meat feast pizza from me and leave me a big tip to compliment me on my service. I never once felt guilty about feeding them pork, that trout was funny.
