    From 2005-2007 I worked at UPS. Pack your package in the best possible way and/or order the best insurance you can afford because when you have 3000 packages coming at you an hour, no one there cares how carefully you get your job done. They only care if you keep the back up bell from going off so packages don't have to cycle around the bay anymore.

    I have seen people steal minor stuff too, but from major corporations. A middle aged woman opened up a box of Fruit Rollups and scarfed one down as she was loading.

    When I was working at Taco Bell years and years ago I once climbed up to the roof late one night and peed on a car as it went through the drive-through. They probably just thought it was raining :/

    If you're a jackass and I know you're a jackass, I'm definitely grading you more harshly. Ass.


    The people touching food doesn't really bother me. That was standard operating procedure at the one restaurant I worked at since the owners thought that people would keep their own hands cleaner than they'd keep disposable gloves

    -It takes you mo fos longer to wait on my table for my family because we're black and because you lot assume we don't tip. Next time I tip I'll make sure to rub my ass with the money. Merry Christmas!

    - People working in retail play games, such as "Find the Munter", "Who has the Worst Taste?", and, for Valentine's Day, "They're Definitely Having Sex Tonight". If you see staff laughing at you, it's probably because you've been chosen. My personal favourite was the simpler, but no less fun, "Dance Like A Reject Behind A Customer and Don't Get Caught".

    This was many moons ago but the rule still applies.

    DON'T visit a Macdonalds where your ex-girlfriend/boyfriend works at.

    A young man was unfortunate enough to come through the drive-thru and order a cup of tea. His ex-girlfriend (the shift manager, no less!) decided to make the tea herself but with an extra ingredient. She deposited a healthy gob of spit into the bottom of the cup before pouring the tea. She made sure she gave it a healthy stir so there was a minimum amount of 'stringy bits' then gave it to another female colleague to present to him.

    It's quite simple, if someone is going to be serving you food or drink. Be nice!

    Quite shocked to read some of the stuff here in this thread.

    Makes me realise how utterly boring and mundane my entire existence is.

    okay here goes

    ingredients:

    - frozen vegetables
    - can of beans
    - tomato sauce
    - chili powder
    - wendys (tm) hamburger patties

    step one:
    cook hamburger patties.
    cook them a long time. like 15 minutes-half an hour. they should be overcooked
    after you have overcooked a pile of burgers, scoop them up and fill with water. boil. yeah you heard me. boil that hamburger patty for several hours. Drain. Store overnight

    still reading? It's now day two. Take out your day old hamburger patties and mix all the ingredients in a big pot. Boil for 6 hours. Scoop and serve.

    I worked as a waiter/bar tender for a while so I picked up a few things.

    1. Never send back food. I watched a girl I was working with ask one of the hotel porters for a few of his pubic hairs & watch as a rude customer ate pubes! Another time I was told food was cold, brought it back 5 mins later, never heated it & the customer thought it was great.

    2. People who are jerks to bar tenders get served pints of beer or bottles of beer poured or opened by mistake. A guy was a dick to me once when the bar was busy & I served him a pint of beer which had been under the counter for 4 hours. I blamed the temperate on the fact the glass just came out of the dish washer because the bar was busy.

    3. Beware of drinks promotions in bars. One time I was instructed to scratch the dates off 2 cases of Bud Lite & sell them for €2 a pop. And I did so. Every time I get a cheap bottled beer on promotion now I check for a date or lack there of. I've got a few free drinks in my time by complaining about such.

    It is tradition at olive garden to rub your wang on the first fruit salad ordered each day.
    At mcdonalds we only cleaned the tea tub when a certain manager was on duty, and one time she took a month off because she had built time off.
    At Kennedy and Co. Realty LLC, we sometimes cough or sneeze into our hands instead of our elbows and forget to wash our hands afterwards.
    This post brought to you by the power of boobs. Dear lord them boobs. Amen

    in Sainsbury's we'd play similar games to the ones Quin mentions the dancing like a reject one is similar to one of ours which was to go up behind the attractive girls and pretend to thrust/spank them and not get caught. I remember one time a guy from Fresh Foods got caught....it did not end well for him.

    A good one at my current job is we tend to abandon colleagues to the bad customers who the rest of us are avoiding. I remember when I was on lower ground floor there was an old fellow who smelled a lot like pee, he also reminded me strangely of an extremely old Huxley (don't ask but he did genuinely look like an ancient version of the guy) at the sight of him myself and my colleagues would find excuses to go off shopfloor until only one person remained. That person would have to help the old person and suffer his smell.

    Another common one, especially on the bigger counters in my store is that when there is a line of people waiting to be served and there is an extremely pretty girl the guys will compete to serve her. How do you compete whilst serving on a till? Have you ever wondered why a person has scanned your CDs in record time, chucking them in to a bag and all be barked the price at you? have you ever seen them yelling "next customer please!" before you've even had chance to pick up the carrier bag? We're competing and you better move your ass on out the way so that we can serve that hottie. Also to note, if we reckon we're going to miss the hottie we'll slow our transactions to a crawl. And by crawl I literally mean I have taken 3 mins or more to sell a single CD to a customer purely to ensure I get to serve the fit girl behind them.
