Planning authorities in the United Kingdom are CORRUPT, power-mad bitchasses. A curse on all their houses.

Yes, bump this for the newbies.

Big Companies time deposit 1 billion dollars for one day and the interest after 24 hours is enough to pay several employees.

That people get paid more than you if they stay longer hours but are completely inefficient and do so little to help the company.

In retail if you're rude and you ask for a size check, I will tell them "one minute" and go to the back, go on my cell phone, take a bite of my lunch, sit for a bit and rest, come out ten minutes later and tell them "sorry I looked every where but it looks like we're sold out"

the gif fits perfectly

I have known people who have worked at multiple Taco Bell's. There are rats everywhere and they sometimes mess with the grease.

Restaurants put all the chemicals in the storage along with the food and only move them when the inspectors come to check

Billboard Magazine & Website is easily the worst run company I've every worked with. Code is a hot drupal mess with java still being used to generate charts and they run a nasty chart creation process every week which is really unstable and error prone.

I used to. I had to quit because it was such a mess. Several guys quit right as I was being hired. Billboard outsources most of their drupal development to the Ukraine. The problem is the code is not up to snuff. No tests, just a HOT mess of PHP all over the place. You can tell a front end guy isn't touching the code because the code base is really hard to change without breaking something. They did the redesign back in 2013 and it wasn't even responsive. I was like WOW! How do you pay millions of dollars for something and get basically a crap product as a result. The management is toxic at that company that's why they barely break even when really they could be doing far better than just breaking even with the information they have.

If Billboard was more engineering focused they could really be a much better company but I've learned that has to come from the top down not the bottom up. They really should be engineering focused IMO rather than trying to rush out a half assed product....

Interesting, but what does this mean?

I need to find the time to read this thread through again from the beginning,

I worked at a mobile company in a highly secured department. If I know someone's name, I can find their number on the database. Similarly, I can type any number to see to whom it belongs to. I had access to people's personal information like full names, birthday, address, ID number or other contact numbers / email address. I could also know how much credit or data someone has left on their mobile. I could know where and when they bought their mobile or put credit / data on their mobile. The police often works with us to track potential criminals and I also had the power to cancel someone from using their phone (but that is really, really rare and in extreme cases). What I'm trying to say is, I knew a lot of behind-the-scenes of mobile companies, got to know a lot of people's personal lives, and people are not safe as long as they are using modern technology.

This actually happened to me about a year ago and I had no idea about it. In Canada we have designated stores for just alcohol and I was there with my dad, we got a pack of ceasers and I was carrying it for my dad, I put it on the conveyor belt and they told me that my dad couldnt buy it because I had been carrying it. We literally had to step out of the store and re enter before they would ring us out.

And here's me in England going into supermarkets buying alcohol without even being ID'd when I don't look older than 18.

Nothing really interesting. I was a manager for a known retail store and we'd get stolen items mailed to us with interesting stories. There was one box of old and used clothes that were bought by a baby sitter who stole a dad's credit card. She was arrested and years after she bought them.

So what you're saying is that you have ATRLs faves' numbers?

I used to work as a Pharmacy Technician at many different pharmacies including CVS. The prescription pills you take everyday most likely have fecal and urine matter and other bacteria on it because while counting the pills, they often roll and fall on the floor. Since most medications are expensive we just pick it back up off the floor and put it in your medication vial.

I've seen pharmacists and technicians accidentally step on the pills with their dirty shoes and they just pick them back up and put it in the vial and give it to a customer.

Yes. I can confirm that this is true. If you google it you will see that every airline now has a "anonymous" air marshal on every flight who looks and acts normal but is trained to detect suspicious behavior, look out for terrorists, and carries a hidden weapon on him/her.
