Work secrets

[IGoddessI]

Playing runescape for a living isn't that bad :lol: I get to do whatever I want for the day until I'm contacted by customers or need to go on business trips. I will take some photos tomorrow, staying in the gold coast for a massive conference.

Before the Military and such i worked for UPS. In other words i broke stuff on a daily basis. Not on purpose, but we worked on time not fragility. And packages will get crushed in the belt loader or dropped from about 18ft up out of the plane. I was the first guy to touch your box after it came off the plane, or when it went on. If your box was the perfect size for the bottom box of the stack, it was going there. And if its small its tossed, literally to the back.

 

 

 

Fragile on your package might as well be braille. I actually miss working there, great money and benefits i want that job back.

^No way.The military is awesome.Well,until I'm forced into it,but when I'm high-ranking again it'll be awesome.

[Kriegsmier]

Its ok, has its ups and downs like any other job. 5 more years left for me then i'm done.

[rushrock]

Kriegsmier, what advice would you give to someone who is thinking of joining the military, if any?

Don't.

 

 

 

Or, at least not the US military. A few people I know were told they were going to be able to leave and they got called back for another tour of duty. The whole system seems too corrupt.

 

 

 

If you want some other advice, try training out in the heat by running 2-3 miles. From what I gather, you do a lot of running in training and it's not exactly in cold weather (at least not until winter, then you may get snow, depending on where you do training at. My brother did his in camp lejeune and got a bit of all types of weather [he's in the Marines]). Just get used to running and attempt to eat a lot of mud, because that's what an MRE tastes like >.<

Yeah. The Military/Apprenticeship guys came to our school and set up booths in the cafeteria area one day. I got a physical training guide from the Army, as well as a bunch of other cool trinkets (one of them was an Army pen which I lost :x) from the Army booth and the USMC booth. I think I have a good idea of what is expected, so I'll start training for that on my own if I decide that I want to do this.

 

 

 

And from what I've heard on these forums, MRE's aren't so bad. :P

If you want an easier time in the military, go Air Force. Lowest PT standards of any branch. I think.

 

 

 

The National Guard has the best enlistment package right now. I think it's something like $60-100,000 bonus, but you're guaranteed at least 1 tour in Iraq.

Truth. Though i wouldn't do it.

 

 

 

I'll PM you, don't want to steer the topic off topic to much. :)

[amoeba_009]

McDonalds man myself, i still mess up making the big xtra, so if you dare order one when im on duty ill throw whatever i deem fit onto the bun. :D Im not really mean to the customers, ie. spit on their food. They pay for the food, which in turn pays me. Dont bite the hand that feeds you. ;)

[INFINTEBAJAN2]

ok to all you [wagons] who think its cool to spit in customers drink and mess up their food.

 

 

 

ever heard of getting sued?

 

 

 

dont bite the hand that feeds you [wagon]

 

 

 

it's happened before

 

 

 

and it could happen to you

 

 

 

if they were rude to you stick it to them in person or take it outside after work

 

 

 

but dont mess with their food

 

 

 

that's asking for trouble

 

 

 

major trouble.the dude couldve just lost his wife and now some idiot spat on his burger.wouldn't you be pissed if your wife just died.anyways don't be a [wagon]

[magegoogles]

As a lifeguard, there's really not a whole lot we can do to mess you up. Although.. the water may not be perfect, but we'll tell you it is. :

 

Also, don't [bleep] at us for our pool company's policies, we have little/no power at all.

 

You would understand our pools perfectly. Our county doesn't have a health inspector for pools. So our company does [Cabbage] to maintain our pools.

 

 

 

There is also this one patron who has achieved the name of Crazy Clorine lady. She yells at us when the clorine isn't 1.5, when we are only required to have a 1. Basically she has complained to our main office so many times that they told her to try and run the pools your self next year. Now she is better, but when it comes to enforcing rules her kids are now only allowed to jump and dive in the pool. \

 

 

 

Another story yesterday me and my friend were working the 2 man pool and it has a leak so we filled it up to the top of the tiles. (After the tiles there is only coping) We didnt know it was suppost to storm. And it did and the pool overflowed. :ohnoes: Quite a cool sight none the less. :thumbsup:

I suggest re-reading Amoeba_009's post rather than flaming. mmmkay? :ugeek:

[dragoonson]

^Don't bother with him,most of his posts...Well,self-explanatory.

 

 

 

Lol I take one day of and the temp replacement blows up all my containers.Bastard's going to pay for those,they were expensive as hell.Apparently,he paid no attention to my specific directions as to how much Black Powder to put.Bastard better pay for the damn containers.

[SaturatedMilk]

at my 'job' i'm the only one there. (i irrigate a field for a friend of my dad's) the only thing i could do would be to throw eggs at cars that honk at me on my way there(i ride a dirt bike through a dirt path on the side of the road). although i do wave to the girls \

[Range_This11]

I work at Phantom Fireworks (one of the largest fireworks stores in Wisconsin (yes we legally can sell any amounts and kinds of fireworks)) and when a customer really ticks me off: i.e. asking for a ton of free stuff or complaining a lot about prices, I just show them and "recommend" our worst fireworks in the store. It's my little way of getting back at them. Besides, all these people are Minnesota residents since they don't sell the good stuff over there. Get the hell out of my state.

Making really short sentances

 

 

 

And double spacing them

 

 

 

makes me really cool

 

 

 

lol

 

 

 

seriously

 

 

 

 

 

Anyway how are they going to know if you spit in their drink anyway. If they're being a [puncture] they deserve it.

[Happysniff]

Lol

 

 

 

This is fun

 

 

 

I really enjoy doing

 

 

 

This

 

 

 

Anyways, wow you guys are all a bunch of [wagon] lol :lol: I'm glad most of you don't live in Australia. Just remember, one day a person who ate the cheeseburger you spat in will get aids. Thinks about it lol.

 

 

 

But [cabbage] now I'm scared to go to mcdonalds lol. I eat it three times a week I must have super aids by now :ohnoes:

[Evil_Sabre]

I'm a cashier at Target and if someone is being a complete jerk to me I'll purposely not swipe the bar code on like 10 items so I have to do a price check and waste their time.

[BlackDawn]

tipiters sure can be mean when they feel like it :shock:

[Woodcut Lvr]

I work at McDonalds and pretty dang proud. 15, working, several thousand in the bank. It feels good.

 

 

 

 

 

But, what's a job without bad customers?

 

 

 

My McDonalds has a rule, "If the person is not an adult, we do not serve free water". We have a self serve station, and people steal the soda. Rules a rule. Well, two kids came up to me and asked for water, and I said "Sorry, we don't do that for children anymore." The mom came in storming, and really pissed, screaming and cursing at me because I wouldn't give them 'F***ing water'. Manager came out really pissed too because she was yelling at me. Ended with the mother taking the cups to get them water, and her cursing under her breath.

 

 

 

Another customer came in wanting 2 gift cards, 10 dollars each. I have the EXACT conversation, I couldn't forget it.

 

 

 

"Hi ma'am. How may I help you?"

 

"I'd like an ice coffee and two 10 dollar gift cards."

 

"The iced coffee, regular, vanilla, hazelnut or caramel?"

 

"Caramel. Paying with debit."

 

"Alright, please swipe right there."

 

At this point, I go make the iced coffee. I bring it back to her, and I give her two cards.

 

"Uh, do I get envelopes with these?"

 

"No, sorry ma'am. That's only during the holiday season."

 

"Sigh... Alright, bye."

 

"Ma'am, you have to swipe the cards to activate them. Right here please?"

 

"What the hell are you talking about?"

 

"Ma'am, to activate the cards, you have to swipe them right here."

 

"The f*** does that mean?!"

 

My manager comes out. "Is there a problem?"

 

"Yes, I don't know what the f*** to do! He says to f***ing swipe them like a f*** credit card! What the hell?!

 

"Ma'am, please stop cursing."

 

This goes on and on for another like 5 minutes. She eventually curses and says she has to go to CVS for her cards for the gift cards...

 

 

 

Best part was that she came in later wanting shakes for her kids.

 

"Kids, grab your s***!"

 

Hope she never comes back.

 

 

 

EDIT: Spelling error :oops:

Christ that's [bleep]ing stupid. What kind of reason would McD's have to not serve water (which they need to, by law) to children but instead only adults?

The kids steal the water. We don't have to give water by law. It's law if the employee serves the drinks.
