at Staples as an easy tech we would scan a computer with malwarebytes not with the shitty norton we were given by corporate like we were supposed to if a cookie or something worse would pop up we were charged them 160 $9.99 to have someone in Canada remove it for them even if it was a cookie I would have to tell the customer that it was a virus and their systems integrity was in danger an old lady came and dropped off her computer Mary Ann she knew me by name and only trusted me she had me put new memory in which I judged her an extra 34 company policy and she asked me to do a virus scan I found a cookie from a stupid game site that her grandson liked to play on I removed the cookie mark the computer done and then called her to tell her that the computer was ready to be picked up I didn't tell her she had a bad cookie or that there were any issues only that there were no viruses she came and picked it up an hour before I got there the next day that day I was called in the office and they fired me yep right there I preformed a free service apparently what got me caught was that I didn't delete the malwarebytes log of the cookie and my supervisor found it apparently he scanned the computer earlier before me and found that cookie and wanted to make her pay for a virus removal I wouldn't be surprised if he put it on there himself when he saw that computer was ready to be picked up and there was no notes about a virus he checked the malwarebytes log dummy for having a conscience now I am on month three and I cannot even get a job at Walmart because I was terminated from Staples I worked for Blockbuster those collection notices you would get in the mail yeah those were fake we didn't have a collections agency they were just meant to scare you and didn't hurt your credit source my store manager at Walmart all of the pians cashiers deli workers janitors Electronics associates are given as many hours possible without it being full-time so that they don't get benefits and the managers get bonuses for keeping labor at a minimum worked at a restaurant the Elephant Bar in Columbus Ohio in case anyone is wondering and the managers made us save uneaten food from customers plates and serve to other customers if your sight of carrots was untouched it would go back into the warmer and get reserved same with dinner rolls and anything that could be passed off as new I worked at a beverage plant years ago that made Arizona iced tea Tropicana Nantucket nectars etc there was one drink that we produced and the label said made with spring water and it was each 600 gallon batch that we made had exactly one gallon of spring water poured into the tank I can taste it the spring water it's good I work in a shipping company warehouse fragile stickers don't do anything for your package until it's in the courier's hands maybe your shipped items are going to get beat the duct up wrap it five times in bubble wrap if you think you're being too cautious you're not warehouse workers don't care your packages are going to be loaded into a hauling truck stacked in no specific order slammed around the world transported then throwing around by workers sorting them I'm sure this is already common knowledge just a friendly reminder before the holiday season comes full swing Bank of America tellers are all about sales it is highly unlikely that any of the products they advise you to sign up for are good for your financial situation many times they will actually be detrimental but the position is a sales position not just a friendly face to help you with transactions I was forced to dump over 35 jugs one gallon each of muriatic acid into a hole in the ground they a retail store that is not Walmart made me dig and refused any form of I slashed breathing protection I was overwhelmed by the fumes and nearly reprimanded for not finishing the job just a quick edit to amp some additional info I was a kid at the time and this was my first job this happened around 15 years ago also just to repeat it because some of you don't get it this wasn't Walmart I've never worked there I'm sorry I didn't see being a ducking [ __ ] listed as one of your skills on your resume not Walmart manager my best friend used to work construction and one day he was on a site right behind a restaurant one day he sees a guy come out the back with a ton of trash to throw in the dumpster and they had huge vat of BBQ sauce / soup or something he dumps it in the dumpster and as he finishes a manager comes out and yells at him for wasting it kid says it expired the manager forces the kid to scoop it all back out of the dumpster so they could sell it my buddy and his friend stood there in shock as they watched this happen and sure enough he scooped it out and took it back inside this was in Memphis Tennessee for your information edit got in touch with my bro it was Corky's BBQ and it was potato salad and coleslaw I worked at an IVF lab fertility Center in a major city in the United States our Center was on the medium-large end doing about 2,000 IVF cycles per year they wouldn't want the public to know this exactly what everyone fears will happen happened more than once an embryo belonging to one patient was transferred to a completely different patient sue turis you hear about this in the news occasionally but for every case that is published there are a few that don't go public and just quietly settle with the patient I used to work at Claire's of the icing same company we got about 15 minutes of training before we were allowed to pierce kids ears if people bled on the ear piercing gums we would simply wipe them off with a tissue and use them again on the next person we were also never taught anything about cross contamination and blood-borne pathogens during training I would never take my kids to get their ears pierced at them all choose a reputable body purser and take your kids there some people are afraid of taking their kids to body purses because they look sketchier than the pretty mold down the street but body purses will use an autoclave and most of them if they are any good at render properly deal with blood and bodily fluids the person at the mall no matter how much experience they say they have does not have the proper tools to deal with blood about 99% of our piercings did not draw blood but the 1% that do are definitely not dealt with well I tried my best when I work there but there's only so much you can do when there is no equipment on hand to properly sterilized anything spring water bottling plant tank was found to have bacterial content above regulation safe levels they chose to finish the night's run before cleaning the tank by a water filter I used to work for Sears the week before our Black Friday sale we had to mark everything in the store up I specifically remember marking the treadmills up an extra five hundred dollars then for Black Friday we marked them back down about two hundred dollars they were on sale for an extra three hundred dollars and they normally would have been I work for a government agency two of the people routinely sign in for eight-hour days when they probably work five or six at most just your usual waste of taxpayer money says the guy who is on reddit eight hours a day in college I worked at a shitty independent movie theater one of the employees was a serious cokehead after a show he'd go into the theater and pick up several popcorn tubs and drink cups he shuffle those back into the stacks behind the concessions counter he'd resell them not tally them in the count and pocket the cash Dutta was nasty context for people who didn't work in movie theaters the managers inventory every cup and popcorn container at the start and end of each shift to be sure that everyone that goes out is paid for it's why the employees can't give you an extra cup my old employer did it a nation drive to support the soldiers back at the beginning of the Iraq war we had three huge boxes full of all kinds of stuff soap shampoo books magazines DVDs the works when the owner found out how much it was going to cost to ship all of that overseas he said duct rat and divided up everything to all his favorite employees I still feel a little rage when I remember that doctors and nurses bury their mistakes seriously if you or your loved ones are admitted into a hospital you need to keep a vigilant eye on the nursing staff and doctors they will sometimes overdose patients and blame it on a bad reaction to the drugs edit if you or a loved one are checked into a hospital by the nursing staff on that unit muffins or doughnuts or some kind of snack they will provide much better care because of it I know it's tucked up but that's how it works if you're ever looking to buy something from a cash America porn store you can tell how long the items been out and how much the pawnshop has into the item by reading the tag the date is always printed on the tag you get a better deal on items that have been on the floor longer they use a code so an employee can decide how much they can take off if the cost masks so it goes like this mary-louise equals m1a2 our 3 y 4 and so on till you get to e 0 so the code will read while e or $45 happy bargain shopping I used to work at a subway and the owner whenever the draw was in the negative would take the missing money out of everyone's paycheck that worked that day say it was down $3 he would take $3 out of everyone's paycheck he also took money out of my paycheck from a sandwich he made for a customer who complained that I didn't make it right $7 67 out of my paycheck he also never let us take breaks I once worked 1 to 10:30 with no breaks I reported him but nothing ever came from it I have no clue why I worked at an Orange Julius for four years the fresh orange juice you guys pay $6 for is half fresh orange juice and half concentrated orange juice at my store we did the fresh orange juice all fresh but it took a ton of oranges just to make one cup and it was getting expensive so they stopped selling it altogether how do you stop selling orange juice at an Orange Julius we're just Julius now
