Same names, different companies. Sort of how Target is completely different in Australia than the US/Canada

If you've ever hooked up in a theater before, we can see you from up in the projection booth. Now that we don't have film we don't go up there as much, but anytime teens or couples are hooking up most of the employees will run up there to watch before breaking them up. This old 60 year old manager used to watch the 14 year olds (  )
Also if you ask flat out about going to see another movie when you already watched yours I really couldn't give a ****, but walk around and try and sneak into a theater where you don't even KNOW which movie is playing.... I'll kick you out and threaten to call the cops. (  )
Oh not really a secret but here's a list of things I've found in movie theaters. Used condoms, ***, panties, vodka, needles, chewing tobacco on the floor, A baby in a booster seat, diabetes testing strips, used tampons, a pair of jeans, a pair of dentures, countless credit cards and cash (we usually keep the cash), iPhones (we'll browse through your **** before turning it in).

There's a Subway in the cafeteria at Magic Kingdom and Disney California Adventure. Not sure about the others!

I thought my theater was the only one that did that. 
More stuff
-Don't ask for a popcorn refill at 12:00 am when we're mopping. No.
-Or soda. I'll just tell you the soda towers are off, even if they aren't.
-Sometimes we accidentally turn the games off when people are walking towards them. 
-Don't get dirty in a theater. I've had to kick out two couples for banging. One were teenagers, but the others were adults. It's gross and you're ugly. No.
-If you're mean, you get crumbly popcorn. 
-If you want a food item like pretzel bites or corn dogs, ask for them fresh. Especially the pretzel bites. I try to throw them out as soon as they're hard, but most people are forgetful. As long as you're polite, we'll be happy to make them for you!
-If you want slider dogs, pizza, boneless wings, or popcorn without salt, it takes time (About 7-10 minutes for everything but the sliders). The sliders can take up to 30 minutes and we only pre-make them on super busy days. You can call ahead and ask for us to pre-make something if you'd like.
-No, we don't feel bad charging these prices. Because we don't set them.
-We aren't allowed to go in and tell people to shut up or stop using their phone without manager approval. Be an adult and tell the person to be quiet.
-We aren't trying to "scam" you. We don't care. We're there to work and get paid and it's not on commission. All those questions we ask are part of our corporate checker and if we don't, we can get fired.

The thing about spitting into someone's food, if it's hot food than the majority of the time the spit isn't potent or do really anything, it basically cooks off by the time it gets to the customer. So good try.
I can't believe some nurses here talking about not giving people medicine. That's absolutely awful. You will lose your nurses license the moment someone finds out. My mother is a CEO of a nursing home and they'll randomly pop into hospitals and check their charts and they know if you pull crap like that. Have fun wiping old peoples butts because that would be all your qualified to do anymore.

There are a lot of amazing plans that TDO (management of the Orlando parks) won't allow because they're cheap bastards.
The new magic bands that track people and what not are a gigantic flop and is killing business for the parks. Like a flop on the level of New Coke.
The Kilimajaro Safari attraction at Animal Kingdom could fit the entire Magic Kingdom inside of it.
YES, I'VE SEEN MANY CHARACTERS WITHOUT THEIR HEADS AND IT'S AS DEPRESSING AS YOU'D IMAGINE.

omg do you have any pictures of these tunnels?

For reals? I've def peered into one to look at my skin up close, fix my hair and put chapstick on before. They must have been rolling on their asses.

Oh yeah, something I was surprised to find out at my McDonald's job is about the drinks.. they come in big heavy boxes that are connected to the fountain machine where people can take any drink they want. Even though the boxes are big, I've always wondered how they last so long, until I was at work, one of the boxes opened and the bag of coke popped, and it spilled everywhere (it was a huge MESS). And I saw that it was really thick syrup. It ends up getting mixed with carbonated water before coming out of the fountain machine I guess.

Oh, and most coffee chains (Starbucks, Second Cup, Tim Hortons, etc) don't keep their honey on the condiment table for a reason. Cheap bitches come in and steal the whole bottle of honey. It's happened so many times. |
I remember when a Starbucks at a mall had honey and my friend took one of the stirring sticks and covered it in honey and started licking it like crazy He got kicked out of the mall for that

I can answer that for you- no. Not allowed to take pictures. And you can't sneak it either. They watch.

That was a good read. I honestly want to say that I won't be bitter like some of you but hopefully I don't take my bad days out on the customers because I get looked at dirty and have had some of these things done to me.
For example: A worker from a chinese takeout place that's close to my home put a PUBIC hair in the rice that I ordered and I saw it at the bottom of the meal when I was almost done
I finished that meal though because I almost finished the entire thing by then so I was already eating those pubic hair particles and I was not wasting those $2 and 10 cents left of food.
