Discussion: Secrets you know because of your job

These two aren't really secrets (I work in politics, and the meaning of confidential actually matters - ie. you don't air it anywhere) but:
1. The people at the top making the decisions are only slightly smarter than the average, just as ignorant, and less willing to admit that ignorance than the general population.
2. In the US, if you get arrested, the cops DON'T have to "read you your rights" right then and there. Police are only obligated to inform you of your rights if they need to question you, and most of the time they will simply ask you to read a form and sign it.

Anything under $10 at Forever 21 does not have a sensor. This includes accessories.
Since they usually understaff us, shoplifting from there is easy and happens a lot. The only employees actively looking for shoplifters are those working the dressing rooms, since that's mostly where it happens. We had video surveillance but no one ever even glanced at it unless something went wrong and the tapes had to be reviewed.

I just recently started my job at Wet Seal and I found out that most of the clothes that people put in charity boxes near the store Mall are mosty "outworn" clothes from Wet Seal or any other store and they re-sell these clothes for original price as long as they look wearable.. kinda ****ed up

Those large mirror pillars in the middle of stores like Macy's sometimes have people sitting in them looking out for shoplifters.

The following is 100% true:
So I've been reading this thread carefully and when I go to the store now I'm SUPER friendly to the cashiers.
I went to Winn-Dixie earlier today and was really affable with the cashier. When she asked me how I was I asked her in return how she was, etc. Well she asked me if I had a rewards card, naturally I said no, she rang up my **** and I left. I thought my bill was rather low so when I looked at the receipt later I saw that bitch actually gave me the rewards discount even though I said I didn't have the card.
Being really friendly does save me money. |
She also gets points for it though.  Win win situation tbh.

I ask for water when I'm out all the time with lemon, but that's because I don't drink soda or sugary juices.  Have you ever thought about that?

They are not talking about normal water with lemon.. there are people who are too ghetto and cheap to pay for lemonade or a soda, so they ask for water, with lots of lemon, and they use the sugar packets on the table to make lemonade and leaves a HUGE mess everywhere. I dealt with it when I was a server, and it was absolutely ridiculous. It got to a point managers allowed us to say no to people doing it if we saw them do it, we wouldn't bring them anymore lemons with water.

Wait that's an actual thing?!
I only drink water and natural juices from a juicer so I kinda got offended.
I always ask for water with lemon whenever I'm eating at a restaurant.
Sometimes even when I'm at home, I drink lemon cucumber water.
The sugar part never even crossed my mind.

People don't mind if you get water with lemon.. that's normal.. but some people will ask for a cup of lemons or extra lemons and they'll make ghetto ass lemonade at their table instead of paying for a drink.

When I get really snippy customers I do get back at them , all of my co-workers know and they dont really care like once I got this really ****** urban couple from down south that complained about everything . They were also taking forever to order , and when they did order they sent the food back twice. So before bringing out their appetizer soups I snot spitted in both of them. Rubbed the bread on the sides of the dumpster we had out back , and chewed some of my nails off and put it in their sandwhiches. When they were leaving they dropped their keys , I picked em up and flushed them down the toilet. They came back looking but obvioulsy couldnt find them. They tipped me 15$ for helping them look. So sad , they had to walk home in the rain .
