    Story 17 is a hero. I’m disabled and my wheelchair alone cost my insurance $20k. In fact, I now have a permanent chronic illness BECAUSE I fought my insurance company for 2 1/2 years to get my second power wheelchair. That person saved so many lives and improved families and individuals’ quality of life exponentially. I hope that knowledge keeps them warm for the rest of their life. May they never want for anything this side of Heaven.

      Goddamn scam restaurants! There was a restaurant that had mainly pasta dishes on their menu but it was overpriced as fuck, and then I also discovered they straight up scammed me with the ingredients. On the menu it said "pasta with forest mushrooms" as in plural. When I got the dish I could clearly see they had used ONE type of canned mushroom, because I used to use the same kind of thing when I made pasta back in the day. But you can't use canned mushrooms at a bloody restaurant... And the pasta legit tasted like it has been microwaved. 1: canned mushroom. 2: Implying more then one sort of mushroom when that was false. 3: overpriced for super low quality food. Gave them a 1 star on Google reviews. If it wasn't because my boyfriend wanted to eat there I never would have by just looking at those BS prices. My ex was somehow an expert at finding scam restaurants. Some time later we ate at another scam restaurant that he chose, when I said we should eat somewhere else... I paid for a CHEESEburger that had no cheese on it, and it tasted like garbage too. Wow, just... Wow. When I asked the person who had made that burger for me she said "we don't use cheese on our burgers" bitch it says CHEESEburger on the menu!!!

    I worked at Radio Shack during college and we didn't quite just put things back out if they were returned, it depended on the product and the situation. If something was returned because it was defective we'd test it and if the problem wasn't happening (unless it was an intermittent issue) we'd put it back out unless there were cleanliness concerns (something like in-ear headphones depending on the brand we'd either send back to the distributer or scrap - literally cut them with scissors and put them in our electronics waste box that we took to be disposed of properly).
    Something like a TV Antenna we'd usually box up and put back on the shelf because 99% of the time it was just someone being unhappy with the channels available in our area. There were only 2-3 that reached us unless you had a really powerful antenna and we'd always try to warn people and showed them a website that would let you plug in your address and give an estimate of what you'd receive, they'd still buy them. Of course we'd also get people buying them just before the super bowl and returning them just afterwards, not because they didn't get the channel, just because they only wanted it for the game.

    Why can’t I ever get a medical billing person who’ll just write off my debt? I had cancer 12 years ago, had to have several surgeries, and ended up in the hospital for over a month. I had crappy insurance that only paid like 60% of the total amount billed. I owed something like $100,00 to the hospital, to various doctors, and to other medical facilities. Did they write me off? Nope. Did they take into account the fact that being sick for months means you lose your job and have no income? Nope. Did they accept my life savings and say that was enough? Nope. The money I couldn’t pay after I’d given them everything I had was referred to attorneys who sued me for non-payment. I filed for bankruptcy. Then it all happened again five years later when I got deathly ill and spent weeks in the ICU. I ended up deciding to forego treatment that might have made me better because I had no money with which to pay for it.
    Now, I’m in my upper 50s and can’t work full-time because I’m too sick. I’ve been turned down for SSI/Disability three times, even though I’ve used Disability attorneys each time. Being able to work a few hours a week apparently means I’m not suffering from any disability. My medical expenses currently exceed my income - and that’s with me only seeing a doctor when I absolutely HAVE to and not taking some of the medications that are prescribed to me. I’ll never be able to retire because I have no retirement savings. I have no investments. I own no property. My car is now 23 years old and barely works.
    All because someone in the billing department at a hospital felt that it was better to destroy someone’s life than to find a way to write off my medical debt.

He applied for a disability pension but they knocked this back on the grounds he still could be employed for something. “What could I be possibly employed at?” he said. “Just so happens there is a need for male escorts at a “gentlemen’s club”. The man in the wheelchair said: “Strangely, this doesn’t seem all that promising !”

      Not only does it allow them to get the amount of clothes that they actually need, rather than just what they can afford, but after my experience is working with many non-profits I'm far too jaded to trust them. Most of them either throw a bunch of stuff away, or in the case of the salvation army, are just actively hostile to like half the people in need.

Definitely couldn't tell her it tastes better cuz the dirty machine finally got cleaned after decades of it existing. There was so much there that nobody realized needed cleaning or how to clean it. My district manager is usually a douche cuz so many people just did what they assumed was what they were supposed to do, but he legit took one of his days off to ask mr why I had decided to quit after working there only a year, he even got paper and pen to ask what about the store and products and procedures he could fix himself to have me stay.

    Used to work at a food packaging company a few years ago, they did stuff like chicken salad, Tuna salad and such, making and packaging everything in house and reselling to more recognizable name brand places. They'd get these large pallets of frozen chicken and have a few people throw bags of the frozen chicken into an industrial microwave. It sounds normal so far. Manager at the time would have their microwave team thaw something like 25-30k lbs worth of chicken a day and a decent portion of it would sit in a giant refrigerated room (30-40 ish degrees Fahrenheit, I forget exact temp range) and would leave anywhere from 1-12 pallets (900-1200lbs each) for 1-3 weeks before using it, and then said manager would proceed to get visibly irate at the microwave team for refusing to thaw put more chicken than they were going to need for the next few days.

    Story 5 sounds like my last restaurant job that I was let go from. Ive been managing restaurants for well over a decade. Some real nice ones too. But these guys were ridiculous. Brand new concept.They wanted me to design the menu so I asked them for the recipe book so I could effectively write their menu. They refused to show me. Told me just to come up with it but make sure to say its homemade. Begrudgingly I went ahead and🎉 did a mock up. They said "cool, looks good. We're going with it". I was shocked and worried. On opening day we all arrived early to start prepping the food. Their "chef" wanted to train the management staff on the food.
    I shit you not. All the sides were boil in the bag Cisco and the meat is delivered frozen, removed from the box frozen and thrown in the oven. No thawing, no seasoning, nothing.
    I spoke up and said that doing this breaks every rule and the meat wont cook evenly. The chef said "it will be fine for tomorrow". I was confused by the statement. Then he pulled all the half cooked, unseasoned meat out of the oven and threw it in a food warmer. Told us to leave it in there for 12 hours and the warmer will finish it. I was fucking shocked.
    The next day the owner fired me.

    The best part about stores that want everything to be clean is that they don't give you stuff to clean it.
    Parking lot has stains from a grease spill, they send us an old pressure washer that doesn't work.
    Soda machines aren't clean enough, they don't tell us how to clean them they just complain that they look horrible and refuse to pay a professional to clean it.
    Carpet is stained, they tell us to "vacuum better" which I don't know about you but you can't really vacuum a ketchup stain that was stomped into the floor too well and I'm not going out a buying carpet cleaner myself.
    The place I work at is the store our company does commercials in so they want it to look amazing but never put any effort into making sure the store can look good, I mean we have unsealed concrete for the kitchen floors. It takes longer than they are willing to let us stay after hours to fully clean them and even then they collect all the dirt back in a few days, a while ago they paid a crew $8,000 to clean the floors with proper tools and had up mop every night as we left so the wet floors wouldn't get dirt from our shoes and guess what the floor looked like after 4 days.

    Story 16.. what a waste of perfectly good food just because of the expiration date even *approaching*. I mean, it kinda says why the guy didn't donate it if he genuinely considered it unsafe, but... hey. Good effort to keep the US the #1 resource waster! Especially if he's praised for it...

    • @pennyforyourthots
      @pennyforyourthots 9 місяців тому +2

      It's also worth noting that expiration dates are already wasteful, because they are usually calculated based on optimal quality and not the _actual_ date the food tends to go bad.
      This means that most products, especially canned and preserved foods, are good for LONG after is their supposed expiration date.
      I mean, I guess I get why people use them, because after the expiration date your entirely reliant upon your senses to check quality, but it's already an inherently wasteful practice.

    Buying food online means that you are at risk of getting screwed with due dates, since you can't chose those or the oldest stock would never be sold. I've worked as a customer representative and had to refund up to 90% of a products price since the customers could only manage to consume that until expiry date was up, it was supplements, so likely most could last longer as it was raw food and dry powders but anyway we should not have keept selling it when there was but a fraction of time left on the expiry date. Also I had to refund since neither I nor the poor people packaging your order had any influence on this and can retire stock, so if I sent out another the expiry date would be the same without fail.
    Sadly some companies find it cheaper to refund the few people that complain and lose credability, than to actually stop malpractices like this, and webshops are barely regulated as it is. It is likely upper or middle managements concious decisions to sell nearly expired stuff, so never go back to webshops pulling these stunts, or better yet buy from a physical store.

And clearly have partnerships with psych practitioners and agencies to keep kids on pills. Wait?? Is that really a secret or standard operating practice? That, and learning about Nancy Schaffer is why I couldn’t work in that/those “industries”, and why I will tread lightly but advocate heavily now that I am back and in a bigger leadership position.

That harshbrpwn was originally for me beacuse they are leftovers and we try not to waste food. The order was fpr mprnong, but when it came, it already past noon and the lunch rush begin and we are unwilling to open a bag of fries only to pour less then a quarter for this random order. So i sued the HB i was gonna snack and take some and put into the box and pack it with the others. Is it wrong? Maybe. But really is it fair we have to open and waste food for this random order tgat appear at such improper hour? Tbf hes
