Discussion: Secrets you know because of your job

I started working at Six Flags Magic Mountain this month. If you are from Southern California, you know what park I am talking about. I work in the Food Service department FYI.
Here is what I know so far:
1. We don't clock-in using the typical timesheets or time-cards. We actually have phones that we call to punch in for work, or to punch in or out for breaks or lunch.
2. If there is a franchise brand that has a location in the park (i.e. Coldstone, Johnny Rockets), chances are you are better off just going to that franchise outside of the park, because they will be more expensive inside the park than going to a location outside of it. And the Slurpees offered at some places are a ripoff too. The smallest Slurpee is a little over $5 and you can pretty much get it for less at 7/11
3. The chicken strips are all the same, regardless of where you go to order them, whether it is at Katy's Kettle, Kickin' Chicken, Wascals, or etc. Same goes for the nachos.
4. We're not allowed to take tips. Even if you don't want your change back, I still can't accept it as a tip. I would have to let a supervisor or lead know that I have a little bit over in money at the end of the day.
5. We are required to upsell the Gold Season Dining Pass, the 2016 Sports Bottles and the Discover Card at EVERY single transaction. Coca Cola has secret shoppers that come through the park and visits the restaurants. If we are caught upselling, we get a $50 gift card but if we are caught NOT upselling, we get oops and audited.
6. I get annoyed when you interrupt me while I'm greeting you. I'm here to do my job and make sure I'm doing it correctly so when you interrupt while I'm greeting you, I get instantly annoyed with you, but I don't really show it.

I work at the airport now, and most of the secrets I know I'll get fired if I posted them.

Internet technicians will purposely break peoples internet just so that they are called out to fix them.

I get to know a lot of random video game things working at Gamestop such as release dates, console news and stuff before it's made public.

When designing high fashion clothes we sell at high prices in concept stores, very often we use cheap industrial materials used for isolation, car seats and umbrellas
