culver’s rootbeer is the ORIGINAL A&W recipe. they sold the recipe to culvers years ago

If you have AAA and you are in someone else’s car as a passenger and the car breaks down…you can still call AAA

AAA is actually a decent service. But when you swear, we get to end the phone call immediately. So just stay calm and we will actually work hard to help you

If your item from Amazon comes in a plastic bag and/or has a barcode that says “LPN” itwas most likely reprocessed and resold to you after it was returned… yes even underwear.

Not a secret but a fact, amazon delivery drivers get blamed for damaged packages caused by ppl working inside the delivery station

Amazon Prime deals are usually not even deals, just priced up and then they add the “percentage off” of that raised price. ALWAYS google it, and you’ll likely see a result showing the same product on amazon for the “sale” price which was the original price to begin with. A select few things are actually sales but most are not. I have many many screenshots proving it now😂

as a former Amazon customer service agent - before placing an order from Amazon take note of who the order is being fulfilled by. if it is with Amazon most times it can be replaced,credited or refunded. Orders fulfilled by third-party companies have different refund and return policies

Apple has access to a ridiculous amount of information. We would make fake Facebook profiles to stalk you guys to make sure purchases were legit when online orders came in. We’d have to find addresses and make sure you were friends with the people that the items are being sent to

I worked at Apple. They fire employees who with minor infractions and keep employees with discrimination cases against them. Their values are fake

Restaurant soup comes outta bags and Applebees stores raw chicken and steak together unsealed 😭😭

Arby's deep fries their burgers, not grills.

If you need to speak with AT&T customer service and you want to skip the line, say “customer loyalty”. It’ll take you to their retention team and they are FAR better equipped to handle problems.

Bath and Body Works does recycle old scents and call it something different. Sometimes they’ll even trade with Pink/Victoria’s Secret since it’s their sister store 😭

Bath and body works foam soap is just watered down gel soap. Buy the gel. Add water and instantly get 3x more soap from one bottle

Bath & Body works is one of the most wasteful companies I have ever seen. Throwing out boxes of products instead of donating or giving to employees. Oh and the products are super toxic & they would make us wear gloves/wash our hands handling product.

Bloomingdales sends majority of there clothes to marshalls and tj maxx

I use to work for blue cross blue shield … if you call for benefits and they give your the wrong benefits, ask for a misquote and if they did in fact give you incorrect information they have to pay the claim based on the benefit they gave you !

Burlington does markdowns every Sunday. Once it gets to a certain price, they can't sell it, so it goes in the trash.

I ONCE Worked For Somerville Design. A Company That Built Canada Post Cabinets. The Owner Charged A Mint For Internal Oak Inside The Cabinets. But The Inside? Made Of Cheap 20 DOLLAR Pine Not 120 Dollar Oak😳😳

if you are going to refinance a car with capital one, never say that the car is for business purposes, even if the car is for those purposes, or for farm or anything, just say personal purposes

Philippines here, Century Tuna is not a real tuna. It’s a freaking texurized vegetable protein! 🫠

Everyone stole from Charlotte Russe and no one cared or took it seriously and it shocked me to my core. I quit so fast

All the "handwritten" cards from Chewy are written by machines.

😂 chicken fil a is not fast food. Everything but the fries are made fresh

CPS doesn’t care about you or your kids. If you have a baby, they want to get that baby adopted because babies are a hot commodity they get federal $$$ from every adoption.

All of the premixed cleaning sprays like Lysol All Purpose, Clorox Fragenzia, Clorox Bleach Spray, etc are literally just 1-2 tablespoons of the cleaners and the rest is all water. You can literally just buy spray bottles for $1, then the cleaning solutions for $3 - $5? And mix your own for much cheaper and it lasts much longer!!

Girl Scout cookies are made by Interbake foods in South Sioux City, NE. Same EXACT cookies are sold and relabeled at Dollar General and packaged as Clover Valley. You can also find Thin Mints at Dollar Tree. Same factory makes them all.

I worked at Costco and have nothing negative to say besides members being entitled and acting like they’re better than us. Sir your cashier makes 75-80k a yr…

I used to be one of the guys that try’s to sell you stuff in Sam’s club, Costco, and places like that. If you just have your phone to your ear or act like you’re on a call we can’t talk to you.

I learned in dental school that the expensive teeth whitening we do in office is a scam and you should honestly just get crest whitening strips for a fraction of the price.

Crumbl intentionally doesn’t cook the cookies long enough so they can “last longer” so yes, they are raw

Crumbl cookie uses the same dough for everything, they just add different toppings and call it a new name so you believe it’s a new cookie

culver’s rootbeer is the ORIGINAL A&W recipe. they sold the recipe to culvers years ago

Culver’s really is made fresh to order and their burgers are never frozen. Worked there 4 years as a GM. They are actually REALLY good about food safety.

It's not a secret but be nice to your pharmacy staff at CVS. I'm sure Walgreens it's the same stuff but they are underpaid for what they do and corporate is greedy AF not giving them enough staffing and hours to do work at a healthy pace.

The smell of the churros and popcorn or anything pleasant at Disneyland is just perfume being pumped in the air so that you don't smell anybody's body odor. And plus you will crave those sweet delights

The only accurate part of the Dominos pizza tracker is "Out for delivery". All other parts is are set on an automated timer.

When you recive a free cinnamon or garlic bread from dominos pizza, the dough is already expired and it’s too heavy to throw it away, cheaper to give it away

I worked at 3 diff Domino's locations and they broke every labour law in the book. I'd be working 14 hours shifts without being paid OT or getting any breaks. they also did this to teenagers working there. full orders have to be made in under 7 mins (even if it's 50 pizzas) and if they're not corporate will essentially say they are going to dock pay or shut down the location. incredibly stressful job with no reward. they treat their workers terribly and have an incredibly high turnover rate. also their drivers are "contracted workers" so they don't have to pay them minimum wage. :) next time ur pizza tracker is wrong or food is late, just know that the workers there are doing their damn best to not absolutely lose it. xx

i used to work at dunkin they throw out hundreds of donuts every night so if you go in a hour before close and ask for donuts you will get a bunch

If you shop online GAP (all their brands), you can call in to get a price adjustment. We are literally trained to appease customers. If you’re a good customer, call to get a 10% or 15% discount and they’ll 9/10 give it to you.

LaserAway has a terrible culture of being racist to their black staff. They foster a very toxic work environment by over working their nurses and do not take migro-aggressions seriously. Anytime a black/poc starts working there (especially 1 they don’t like) they do not last long, they find a way to let them go. Also, they are grossly overpriced, nothing is worth getting done specifically at that company. You are better off getting that stuff done at a derm office. The “training” they provide for their nurses is laughable and consist of them just practicing on eachother in the office for an afternoon and them being “cleared” to preform services. You don’t need any prior injectioning/aesthetic experience & a lot of their RNs are hired straight out of school. They also have a history of burning ppl with their lasers so …

Marybrowns- if they drop cooked chicken on the floor they pick it back up and put it back on the tray

Mc Donald’s ice cream is rarely ever down they are just too lazy to clean it .

i worked at both mcdonald’s and tim hortons, and let me tell you, mcdonald’s has STRICT hygiene policies and tim hortons is basically okay with serving flies in food, expired food, and HUGE lack of hygiene

I have a McDonald’s hamburger in my truck from years ago to show my kids it doesn’t spoil. It’s still there and still dry but no mold or anything.

Only time you get fresh fries at McDonald’s is when you asks for no salt😭theu have to clean the whole salt bed thingy before handing you the fries

The fries at McDonald’s only last 7 mins

When I use to work at maccas 90% of the male managers were predators. They promoted a guy who was 23, that took a 14 year old coworker to his home. Where he proceeded to lose his V-Card. He also got her up the duff and tried to run her over AND THATS JUST ONE MANAGER.

At nike you can refurn your shoes until 2 years as long as you use the app even if they are ripped,shredded etc for the same pair or a pair of the same price and if you work there for 5 years..you will get a lifetime discount no matter what.

Nordstrom will take anything back! When I worked there, a lady returned boots from target and my manager said it was OK.

Worked at Sephora, Ulta, Nordstrom in cosmetics. Those testers are NEVER cleaned. 3rd party testing revealed feces, ecoli, herpes, MRSA. I watched customers apply on mouth and return. BE SAFE OUT THERE 🧫🙏🏻

If you want whiter teeth buy Opalescence whitening trays off Amazon & the toothpaste.. in office whitening is a scam

Pandora jewelry is not worth the prices, everything is recycled, its better to invest in REAL gold ✅

Pandora’s employees have a 75% off discount. Which means it costs even less than that to have their jewelry made 😐

If you want free bread from panera ask them if they had any loaves that over or under proofed. In the summer time over proofing is common, and they can sell loaves that dont “look” appealing. I used to take home a lot of free bread

Every soup in Panera come out of a plastic bag that sits in hot water to thaw. Even the Mac.

Big retail pet stores usually don’t treat the animals as well as we all think. (Former Petland employee)

Pg&e will call you family and will contract all they can so they can immediately cut you out anytime with no real reason just to save a dime. Also, they get paid by the gov. At the end of the year for those who couldn’t pay their bills. But they will still keep a bill owed on the ppl who couldn’t pay. 💰 greedy bastards

not a huge company but the store owners of playa bowls in denver colorado fired me because i couldn’t find coverage for my shift the day after my step dad overdosed and died. they also did not keep anything “fresh” i used to go through our fridge and throw away moldy fruit and vegetables everyday, sometimes if the kale was going bad they still made us use it AND the store owners of the same location would also bash, shame, and highkey bully employees. ALSO if you have eaten there more than once i can promise you that you’ve also eaten fruit flys, both stores i worked at were infested and they would put syrup in a cup and call it a day. anyways F*CK playa bowls

Progressive Auto Insurance (and most others)… when your rates are about to increase bc your term is renewing, call and ask for a policy review. If that doesn’t get it down, threaten to cancel your policy. That’ll make the agent transfer you to the retention department and they’ll probably rewrite your policy under a new contract for the cheaper introductory rates. You can do this every 6 months tbh

Verizon has a secret box on your account that builds up overtime with money so if you’re ever 50$ short tell them to take it out your “box”

Verizon. If you go into the phone store and wanting an iPhone and they try to push you for an android it’s because they get higher commission on the androids. If the rules changed then don’t come after me 😂

If you “get hurt” at Walmart as a customer and make a claim in the store, threaten to sue, most of the time the company will pay you 5-10 grand to avoid going to court if it was a minor occurrence.

Walmart has secret shoppers/undercover shoppers that are wearing every day clothes watching people to make sure no one is taking anything. They also have officers on stand by, and a holding room in every Walmart.

Walmart employees are told that we’re not allowed to stop people and force them to show their receipts. It’s considered an invasion of privacy.

Walmart is not supposed to ask you for proof of a dog is a service dog or not. It’s in all of our handbooks and training.

Walmart lets there cold food sit out for 20 min in returns before putting them back on the self 🤢

Don’t buy any kind of meat that’s pre-seasoned in the supermarkets. That meat was already towards its end date & the seasoning adds on a couple extra days…

I signed an NDA so no names, but I used to work for a meat company mainly known for selling pork. They have the humane, bio and green sticker, but uses a lot of farms that didn't meet the basic "requirements" to get the same and they sold the meat under their name because going bio is extremely costly and no company actually wants to "waste" that much money. Basically, the meet industry is a major scam because as long as the buyers are not "aware" they remain legally safe.

Daycare worker edition: the cute kids get treated better than the ones not so cute it’s the TRUTH

I’ve worked in day cares. Don’t send your kid there if they don’t know talk.

If your child cannot talk, make frequent surprise visits to their daycare or classroom. Being advocates to IEP meetings. They’re worth every cent

Daycares are the worst. The teachers are fake when you walk in and talk crazy once you walk out the door. PUT A RECORDER IN YOUR CHILD BAG. You’ll be shocked

Used to work at daycares for a dance program and it made me realize just how many strangers have access to your kids without you knowing.

Having seen a few men under the suit...can we normalize not forcing our kids to sit on the laps of mall santa, easter bunny etc alot of the time its the sketchy security gaurd 🤭

Daycare worker edition: the director is FAKE. ALWAYS FAKE. The messiest one in the daycare. That’s why there are always new teachers

Many appliances of different brands are actually the same machine with different shells and logos on them.

They really be scamming yall at dental offices, half the time yall really don’t need fillings they just be money hungry. You ain’t heard it from me thoe

Always get a second opinion for dental work. These dentist are scamning you!

Not a company secret but more an industry lie - whitening toothpaste is no different from regular toothpaste. Unless it says hydrogen peroxide in the ingredients, it’s the same. Which none usually have hydrogen peroxide in them. I’m a dental hygienist.

stop using whitening hacks & products just use peroxide

I currently work at a private university, unless you want to go to law/med school, just go to community college. I’m so serious. You get into the workforce faster and without debt. GO TO COMMUNITY COLLEGE!!!

EVERYTHING EVERYTHING EVERYTHING that your child hears or does at home or anything that happens to them, guess what? They tell their TEACHER!!!!! yes I’m gonna say again EVERYTHING!!!! 😅😂🤭

The public school system passes students who are failing. I’m not talking “hey your kid’s average for the year is in the 50-59% range. I’m talking 25-30%. Sometimes less.) I worked w/ 4th grade (one of the most crucial learning stages) I’ve seen kids complete less that half of the school year’s work due to repetitive sleeping in class, excessive absences &/or behavioral issues. Students that I would have to spoon feed through entire assignments because they couldn’t read/comprehend the most basic concepts. All of this & the school just moves them on to the next grade the following year, with teachers “celebrating their advancements!” & nobody bats an eye. (this isn’t slander on the kids)

I’m a kindergarten teacher and let me tell you… I know allllll the things that go on at home. 😅

University Professors are sometimes(most of the time) forced to pass kids that have failed, not because they want to, they're made to.

Nursing homes don’t care about your grandparents they just want the 10-15k a room

if you ever need to put someone in assisted living/memory care MAKE SURE you have a camera in their room.. they only treat the people with cameras in their room decent.

Nursing homes are filled with neglect. No staff, and owners don’t care.

The in home healthcare/caregiver business is riddled with fraud

nursing homes and assisted living will hire anything with a pulse...also the abuse and neglect people get away with is beyond me ..

Former HR manager. Document everything and sue. Dates, times, keep a detailed record and sue. I've won 4 lawsuits for myself and lost a few because of this. Let them do it and document. Stay quiet and sue.

Don’t put your full address on your resume. The largest closest city to your actual address will do. Some hiring managers will google your address and decide the job isn’t for you - even for remote roles.

🗣️🗣️🗣️HR IS THERE TO PROTECT THE COMPANY, NOT YOU

My only advice keep a copy of your job description, offer letter, and EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK. Make sure you understand your states/ federal laws.

HR is not your ally at all. always save and time stamp everything you send in an email to everyone in case you get fired and need an attorney.

If you report something to HR, even though “retaliation is illegal”, sooner or later they’ll terminate you and give you a fat check and an NDA to sign on your way out the door.

Yes.. companies do not want to hire you if you have dreads, too fat, talk "black", have a super "ethic" name or too dark/black aka "not professional enough" so yeah I wouldn't put Tyrone down put a different name on your resume (former corporate recruiter)

HR is the company not for you. Lawyers are for you.

Pilates studios that charge $100 for a 1:1 class sometimes only pay the instructor $20. If one person signs up for a group class, the instructor essentially teaches a 1:1 class for sometimes as little as $7.

HR is never for the workers, but always for the company. no matter how legit your case is, they’re gonna find a way to keep the company in good standing and get rid of you.

Don’t put your address on your resume they say they can determine the type of person you are by the address, sad world we live in

The owner of the last company I worked at put the business in his wife’s name so he could get tax write offs for being women owned. Worked there for years and never even met her once (because she literally has nothing to do with the company )

My boss underpaid everyone on our roofing crew and owed workers up to 5000 each, so half the crew went back to the clients houses and secretly destroyed there roofs one by one

ok I have another one : if u apply for temp work ask for a lot! the more u get paid the more the temp agency gets the more they're willing to help u.. once I learned this, my going rate for temp office work went from $17 to $28/hour. it's not about how much u think u should get, it's about how much companies r willing to pay.

i still work there but idgaf, ALLEGEDLY one of my managers is a pdfile ALLEGEDLY and he ALLEGEDLY got caught multiple times ALLEGEDLY grooming minors from my store and the other

Debt collectors STALK your fb and ANY social media looking for clues on how to contact you.. which is illegal.. threaten to sue and they will wipe your debt

I was getting nonstop calls from a debt collector and the last time they ever called me, I yelled “IM GOING TO SUE. I KNOW MY RIGHTS AND IM NOT LEGALLY LIABLE TO PAY YOU ANYTHING. STOP CALLING” and they haven’t called since

If you have debt going to a collection, don’t pay it. You signed a contract with the original company, not the debt collector who bought your debt. Tell them that and contest it on your credit. It should come off.

banks CAN refund your overdraft fees. they just won't, because every time they do, it eats into their bonuses. I was frequently told that unless a person has 200k with us I was NOT to refund anything. and that when that single mom who overdrew her act on diapers come up crying I'm absolutely supposed to make her get a credit line... I said no and kept refunding legitimate need fees until the day they fired me for it. banks don't care if you or your kids go hungry

South Africa here…it’s illegal for a debt collector to call you on Sunday, you can sue , you welcome

If you tell your credit card company you’re dissatisfied and want to close your account, oftentimes they’ll send you to the retention department and they’ll lower your interest (or something) to get you to stay.

Freeze your credit reports so credit card companies can’t snoop or make excuses to lower your credit limit or make unauthorized credit check. If it’s frozen they have to contact you or ask for permission. Credit card companies can lower your credit score every time they check without your knowledge

When you’re checks are on hold for 1-2 weeks Most Banks & FDIC banks are basically loaning your “money” to other parties/companies and putting it back into your account.

Best credit card offers come in the mail

most police officers dont know their own state laws and regularly break the law unknowingly

Social workers don’t help families, they snitch on them to the state.

The military is using your tax dollars to pay us to sit around and be glorified janitors all day

911 dispatcher- we’re dispatching people within 30 seconds from when we answer the call. Either electronically or via radio while we listen to you. Help is coming but we have to ask you those questions for your safety and the safety of the people we’re sending. But I can’t make them go faster unless you tell me a reason. I can’t up the call priority without a reason.

If getting a divorced, go to the courthouse and tell them you want to pack it for a free divorce.You are too poor. they will help you fill it out. My divorce costed 4 stamps. 2 for his copy and 2 for mine. don't pay the courthouse all that money.

If you get in a vehicle accident or otherwise want to seek a lawsuit for personal injury. DO NOT go to any big law firm with ads on the highways, on the radio, etc. Instead, find a small local Personal Injury Attorney with good ratings

I use to work with state/government contracts. we have money for everything we need, we use it so poorly.

Worked at a law firm. Some lawyers hadn't even taken the bar. Just senior lawyers signed off on their paperwork..

911 dispatcher we take calls and radio at the same time. But the golden rule is radio always comes before calls! So if you’re on a 911 call and someone is having a heart attack , if an officer needs anything on radio it comes first.

if you have an alarm system the signal is not sent to police, it's sent to a call center and they call police. also because it's a call center the police consider it low priority unless they can confirm it's a robbery.

Former military contractor here: the govt is the mafia and bullies other countries to export their goods and pays as little as possible & if they resist, the create a “fake war” & sell it to the media for yall to believe 🤷🏻‍♂️

i was a correctional officer, call your people & check on them if they’re locked up, too much sneaky stuff & abuse by authority for fun.

If you want a doctor to test you for something and they say no, ask them to document their refusal to your request. You’ll get the test.

Doctors do in fact use Google. But it’s a special “Google”.

Always read your medical records! Usually what you are told is different from what they document.

When a doctor is pushing surgery on you always get a second and third opinion. They need to make $$$. Sometimes the surgery makes you more sick.

I still work there. You ever get a medical bill because you spoke to the doctor about a new problem during your annual exam. Call that office and ask for a coding review. You as the the patient has to say those words. Don’t just ask why you got billed. Demand a coding review.

Doctors look up surgeries they haven’t done before on YouTube.

I study pharmacy and collagen supplements are literally scam, better invest in healthy diet and protein

registered nurse here. the majority of hospitals are ran by 20 something year olds at night and there’s usually only 1, maybe 2, doctors available during nights.

Hospitals and clinics order extra labs, surgeries, and diagnostic procedures to not only make money for the hospital, but for the doctors. They get kick back.

If you ask for an itemized bill at the hospital they don’t charge you as much

That doctor you praise as if they are God sent ? They TALK SHHHHHT ABOUT YOU AFTER YOUR APPOINTMENT😭you can be the nicest, sweetest, easiest patient to deal with and your doctors will still initiate high school gossip about you. Anywhere from you being smelly, to you being annoying, dumb, poor, snobby, etc. Learn to stop confiding and telling your physicians personal problems you have unless you’re okay with everrrrryyyyyybody knowing that you found out your husband is sleeping with other men and now you’re losing your house in the divorce as you step through the door.😭😭😭 doctors are some of the biggest gossipers and most unprofessional, perverted and childish people I’ve worked with🤫 this is coming from someone who’s worked with physicians in Beverly Hills, Santa Monica and the SF Valley🗣️

Recycling goes to the same place as the trash that gets picked up from the garbage company. I’m out 🏃💨

If you are homeless living on the streets RENT A STORAGE SPACE WITH AC most property managers are cool we act like we don’t see you 😏

Never be disrespectful to your cleaner there’s a lot of bad things that can happen to your toothbrush

Not really a secret, but a money/time saver…. Be nice to your garbage collector person. If you want some extra stuff thrown away (bags, dresser, etc.) Slip them a $20 bill and guarantee they’ll get rid of mostly whatever you want. Give them money for Christmas and you can probably get away with a few extras every trash day for the year…

I work in car insurance. Just call 10 of the major companies every 6 months or so and switch. They’re hoping you don’t shop every now and then. Do it. Shop around and see what’s available. The industry is very price competitive

when ordering a new replacement phone through insurance, peep the serial number of the new phone. if it starts with P or R it's purchased phone or refurbished. if it starts with N it's new

Vision and dental insurance is basically a scam lol. You can get better discounts with cash pay prices a lot of the time.

Dental insurance is not really insurance it’s a discount

always tell your insurance company you drive less than 9000km per year. they're not gonna check and it keeps your rate lower.

Health insurance companies have whole departments devoted to denying your claims.

Pet insurance is something the genuinely isn’t a scam and can save your pets life. I have seen so many pet owners have to euthanize because of care costs, and no, we do NOT get commissions for asking for bloodwork, radiographs, or other diagnostics. We’re literally trying to diagnose your pet and in the ER, potentially save your pets life,

I worked for three years at a faith-based TV network. Your donations buy the leaders’ multi million dollar homes, ranches, and planes. None of it goes to outreach.

I worked for a charity call center ..90% of profits dont go to the actual charity

I was hired as a temp accountant to track where all the money went at one of the largest churches in Southern California. Turns out, the church couldn’t even pay basic bills because the pastor had been blowing all the funds on call girls and slot machines!

I worked in the church, that networked with other churches. Affairs, money laundering/favors, drugs, CSA, actively lying to congregation galore(aka pastors knowing God isn't real). Needless to say, i experienced a midlife crisis as I walked the life changing journey of snapping out of it and deconstructing.

Furniture stores buy a sofa for $399 and sell it to you for $3200. The market up is insane which is why so many are closing AND due to online sales now.

99% of Black Friday deals are not in fact Black Friday deals. They are the same price they’ve been or higher. You are RARELY actually getting a deal

Don’t spend more than $30 on silver jewelry. The mark up on silver is about 90%.

You can buy any new car at least than MSRP. MSRP should be the MOST you pay for a new car. Use KBB to price new/used vehicles and be very adamant about that pricing. Dealers will try to get you on "well you know we have to keep the lights on" and that's when you say "my job as a consumer isn't to worry about how you run your business".

The furnitures we are all buying for $2000 and up ,most likely cost 20 dollars

You can negotiate documentation/admin fee at the dealership.

Lighting stores will sell you a ceiling fan for $350 when in reality it’s probably only worth $60

Vape products in bulk - CHEAP. like that vape you paid 20$ for, the company maybe paid between 2 and 5 dollars for. Everything is sold at 100-200% markups.

“Freshly squeezed” juices at restaurants/hotels are 99.9% of time coming from a gallon

When you go to steakhouses, the weight you see on the menu is the raw weight, so if you order a 12oz steak you’re getting an 8oz but paying for 12oz. Also, most healthcare overnight workers are sleeping

Might be common knowledge but fast food drive thru workers are timed per vehicle/order which is why they make you go park sometimes so you don’t F up their reports.

i worked at a popular restaurant in the hamptons- the owner is a coked out zionist who brings her Pomeranian everywhere with her (yes even the kitchen) and uses her bare hands to touch the food (even after carrying around her dog) it’s a “french” “upscale” restaurant & bakery in bridgehampton known for their baguettes (sorry not putting the name just in case🫣)

If you run a fast food restaurant alone you will get fired. But they will not hire anyone to help you.

Used to work for an Italian restaurant lol they use the same cheese wheel for most meals and just give it different names. 😂

A major fast-food chain secretly sprays its burger buns with a scent additive that makes them smell fresher than they actually are. The additive has no nutritional value but tricks customers’ brains into thinking the food just came out of the oven. That’s why the same burger smells amazing instore but bland once you take it home.

A year ago, Theo cooks od on fentanyl coke and luckily I left 30 minutes before, but they didn’t bother to close down the kitchen the next day. Even tho one of the cooks threw up in the freezer and they were touching the drugs and distributing the food out

Worked at a an electronics store. When I went to “check the back”, I just stood there for a few mins. We never “had more in the back.”

many stores with credit cards push employees to have as many people sign up for credit cards, and to specifically target the more vulnerable/clueless (young people, foreigners) even though it CAN RUIN THEIR CREDIT

at any alcohol store in south aus you can go into the wine sections and asked for free tasters before buying 🥲

All the employees at shoe stores steal. That’s why our kick game was crazy

When you buy clothes from online retailers it’s all mostly been used by someone at some point..especially if it’s a sale

if you want to speak to customer service select the Spanish line. the line is way shorter and all the agents are required to know English as well 💕💕

GIRLIESSSS b careful when you try to go somewhere to fix ur phones cause they will in fact look at ur pictures!

The surveys you answered weren’t anonymous. 😬

Every cable company/service provider per the fcc is suppose to give you a credit on your bill for every outage, it’s logged in the records too for each outage that happens . Unfortunately it isn’t automatic you have to call up for it.

miss your flight because you were running late? no. you had a flat tire. DOT requires flights to be changed for free if you're within 2 hours of scheduled departure

Flight attendants 100 percent have the ability to upgrade you and give you free stuff. Just depends on how nice you are and the mood they are in.

Hotels dont wash comforters after every visit. I hv been traumatized since jr college

Be nice to the hotel check in lady/man. They can literally give you discounts on anything. I’m talking free breakfast, parking, room upgrades. Etc

If you pay first class ...you will not be left behind...the flight will wait for you

i use to work at the rivera maya and if you go to a all inclusive resort or any resort , dont buy sun lotion or any product in the resort its super expensive 🤣 , on your way to the resort as ur driver if he can take you to a super market , they are all so chill and they will take you and wait for you . any questiones about the rivera maya , all answer any✌️😅

any off grid restaurants and stores are violating MANY health codes. also a resort i worked at didn’t change the top sheets off the bed unless “NEEDED”

a lot of places on the vegas strip won’t play hip hop music bc it attracts the “wrong” crowd (black people)
