30 People Who Don’t Work For The Company Anymore Reveal What They’re Hiding From The Public

Why are they allowed to return them? This is a disgusting policy, and impacts badly on small business, which can't afford returns of unwanted goods. I think Americans get a bit of a shock when they try this s**t on in other countries.

Some of these types of practices are to abide by government food safety regulations or to protect against lawsuits

Only in the for profit health care scam in the USA.

a diamond obtains its monetary value not from any intrinsic property or usefulness, rather from the value we give it in society, which itself was manipulated by marketing campaigns from mining conglomerates advising people to gift diamonds to their partners for weddings, it's like a successful scam like the whole apple a day thing

My frames just broke for the third time and the eyeglass place told me "oh, well, you bought the cheap ones, nothing we can do unless you spend $100 to replace them." My dollar store readers have lasted longer than my prescription frames!

The last hospital bill I got was itemized. Parking: €2.50.

Depends on the store. Two of my regular stores keep stock in the back (different sizes of clothes, additional products that ran out on the shelf).

or....here's a thought, maybe not be stealing?

Profits have removed all ethics from American business.

I went to a taping of America's Got Talent with Howie Mandel and Scary (Mel) Spice as judges. EVERYTHING is completely fake, and I do mean EVERY PART OF THE SHOW. It is all pre-planned and pre-scripted. While I knew some of it was, I just didn't know to what extent. Never will watch any of those type of shows again!

Nope, not in all. Many times call center workers are grateful to put you on hold because we don't have to listen to the customer's whining, it gives us a sanity break.

Same with hospitals.

Joining a union is one of the very best things to ever happen to me. I’ll be a teamster at my new job. Union busters are untrustworthy despicable selfish people.

I heard a great analogy for this. It's like putting butter on bread. Buttered bread left overnight is still soft in morning, whereas plain bread left overnight will be stale in the morning. Just having something on your face will do the trick!

Also, why are they charging me $10 for a single generic tablet that probably costs them 15 cents to manufacture?

This is true in a lot of cases. Sometimes it takes more energy to recycle than it does to create new product so it’s technically worse for the environment. Try to create less trash in the first place

the depths we have sunk to

Apple was sued and proven that they did in fact make an update slow older phones to user would buy a new one. Never buy Apple crap.

Gross! At my place, the housekeeping is bringing down the glasses from the rooms for the dish-washer every single day.

fax!!

Its funny that people are selective over garbage bags...i reuse my shopping bags for that...

This is common practice

I always assumed it was just an animated gif. I would be amazed if it was actually connected to your pizzas progress.

I'm pretty sure that in my country they'd wake you up to avoid bad publicity. "Woman dies in Ikea show room bed. Goes unnoticed till closing time."

Airlines are stealing your s**t too. Dumb s**t also, like 1 shoe just to f**k with you.

Sounds like a lot of people should just be fired immediately. They should rather be working at a trash facility where they can throw stuff all day without ruining people's stuff. I had packaged that contained several hundred dollars that were destroyed because of these lazy bastards.

A friend of my mom's works for a local store chain, and they are told never to confront shoplifters. It's supposed to be for the employee's safety. People know this and walk out with all kinds of stuff.

Ah yes... Fraud because you don't like someone. That makes it okay.

I have actually won a few radio contests

Heard the same thing about Trader Joe's which makes it all sus. Only difference was the other post was worded to make it sound like a great thing Trader Joe's was doing while this one makes you believe you are forcing Whole Foods to do it.

Not true. They only get so many of the cheap tvs

Why is something minor and silly as that a law, but basic employee rights aren't?

This is helpful! I also use walmart.com when I'm physically in the store to help me find the aisle where a product is located. On walmart.com you select the store you are in, then search for the item you are trying to find, filter search results by clicking "in-store" and voila: it gives you the aisle number. I used this trying to find furniture pads. They weren't in the furniture section like I expected, but in a random hardware aisle. Saved me a lot of wandering!

That's why you donate directly to your favorite charity instead of giving businesses the opportunity to dodge taxes.

Because of "health concerns" and "liability". They sh!t they sold you 10 minutes ago suddenly is a threat to your health and makes them liable.

Employees are being punished because I'm cancelling a service i cannot afford or no longer needed? Make it make sense

All could be donated to women's shelter's and charities. A simple law change by a government that actually did its fuc*ing job would fix this.

Why would we care? Shoplifter's are left alone to steal now.

The same Amazon workers who don't have the time for a pee break...?

100% why I never see a concert or show.

That's horrible!

And where is Sears now? f****n history.

I see a lot of people don't understand the point of this tweet. He said NOW not new and he meant NOW not new. There's a massive shortage of cars right NOW, both new and used. New cars because of the chip shortage that effects most electronics. Used cars because there aren't as many new cars, but mostly because during covid (especially the first year) the rental industry took a hit. Normally, rental companies keep a car for a year, then sell the used ones to dealerships when they get the new models. With covid, a lot of rental companies sold most cars to the dealerships to stay afloat. So for a brief time, mid 2020, cars were REALLY cheap, epecially used. Now, people need cars again, but the rental companies haven't fully recovered so they're holding onto their cars longer, because its so hard to get new ones with the chip shortage. So there's no used cars either. Too much demand + not enough supply = price hikes. I could sell the car I got in mid-2020 for a profit at this point.

Same in the Netherlands. We "recycle" everything. But since people do not know how to recycle, a lot of stuff goes straight to a dump. A few pizza-boxes between paper makes the entire 10 tons of collected paper unusable for recycling.

So they just call the catfish squad on themselves for clout? People really need hobbies :/

That's what all businesses all over the world do.

And I read yesterday that the larger straw makes a difference too in taste because you get more carbonation.

So basically every customer is scammed for at least $49.99

"Highest quality chicken" would still be sub standard in Europe.

Depends on store and region. Not same across the board

Even The Rack is horrendously overpriced. Just buy elsewhere.

It seems like throwing Buttigieg's name into this anecdote is meant to disparage him. I admit I didn't like hearing he'd worked for them, until I learned how huge that company is and how aggressively it recruits top young talent. Still don't like the company, but I've forgiven him for working there. At any rate, not sure he deserves being linked to this, as I can't imagine he had any part in this weird and evil rebate for overdose scheme the OP is alleging was recommended by the consulting firm.

But why would they? Yeah I know it's been 6 months since I bought it and I don't have to box but I want MY money back.

They're just dirty and no one is cleaning them in time. Thats what I've learned from previous posts here...

If you cannot tell the difference between, say, Bush's black beans and Trader Joe's black beans then you should continue to believe this. For everyone else, this is BS.

Anyone who goes to shop with intent to steal deserves to be caught...even robin hood would be at a loss if he tried that s**t in the real world...

We know., and we are very unhappy about it :(

You get christmas bonuses... Lucky. I usually get a line like "its been a lean year so..." While the managers get 1K

All the companies I worked for either carried holidays over or paid them in cash.
