I work in a grocery store: There is NOT "More in the back room." Our entire job is to make sure every undamaged sale-able product is out on the sales floor and available to customers. It is literally all we do.
I have gotten results nearly every time I asked if there is more in the back, especially for bulky items that take up lots of shelf space. It literally just takes a polite 'x is out of stock, is there any more in back?' But I guess for every entitled Karen, there is a worker who wants to discourage anyone from asking them to check the stock on a POS terminal.
Might just be your store. I've asked constantly when the store is out of something and 90% of the time they just haven't gotten around to restocking yet.
add to this if u ask someone who works at a grocery store to check in the box and they go back there they will go in the associate only area and go on their phone or just talk to someone in the back area.
I had a professor that seemed to take great pride in the fact that a good portion of students barely passed his class each semester. Like he thought the fact a small percentage of the class could score higher then a C showed he wasn't screwing around. One of my classmates, as she was dropping the class told the professor that our grades reflect worse on him then it does on us and he might want to rethink how he teaches before the school realizes how absolutely worthless he is as a teacher.
Until my 20s, I did think that the smell of corrugated cardboard was actually the smell of pizza. Then one day I encountered a random box of something without pizza in it, and I had a life-changing revelation. I still f***ing love the smell.
23:34 - 99% of computer problems - A mechanic once told me that "most car problems are caused by the Nut between the steering wheel and the seat." I now work in tech support. Can confirm.
It's "the loose but behind the wheel." That's true for a multitude of reasons with not just sounds, but also when driving a 20 year old vehicle at 80mph and complaining about the wheel shaking a little or pulling slightly to one side, or not being as responsive as they expected. If you want your 2005 civic to handle like a 2020 porch, expect to replace everything from the tires and rims to the bushings and bolts to the frame including the steering wheel and possible the transmission. It's 20 years old for gods sake and they expect it to behave like a brand new car.
The Chick fil A one is definitely true. I switched purses and didn’t switch my wallet before going to chick fil a and got to payment when I realized I didn’t have my wallet. They gave it to me free as an “act of kindness”. I ordered a salad, and a drink. I love Chick Fil A man.
Limecoke that is the one caveat that I’m not a fan of. But big business is corrupt period. If you had to stop supporting every business that did anything wrong you’d have to live off the grid and grow your own food.
@Limecoke You technically said you didn't like the fact "that theyr'e homophobic and support trump." To piggyback off of Emme's comment, this, by that logic, is not limited to Chic Fil A then.
I used to take coupons from other chicken places when I worked at KFC. I'd get questioned by a higher up one time at any new store. Every single one would find my reasoning of "if they're using the coupon here, we're getting [competitor's] business" as perfectly acceptable lol
"Grading papers takes a really long time." I was an undergrad TA for three semesters. We only graded one or two papers per semester. They take fucking forever and a good chunk of them made me want to drink. If any students want a tip, make your papers/projects coherent, organized, and neat. Regardless of the contents of the paper, a professor is more likely to grade easier if your work doesn't give them a headache.
Is it that hard to just keep your head down and not bother anyone in prison? I mean just stay out of people's business and it'd make things easier, right?
@@corsaircarl9582 My greetings went to prison for assaulting racist and dirty cops. When he was finally caught, the guards in his prison protected him because he pointed out the flaw that the money that was suppose to go to to the guards in raises and pensions was used to silence victims and relocate the asshole cops. When the inmates learned what he was in for, and why the cops were protecting him, and why he was assaulting cops, they left him alone for the most.
what do you expect, we all get what we pay for. the food quality is cheap like the cost we consumers pay. just like the labor the business owners payout is minimum. therefore the consumer usually gets the minimum and sometimes even worse
@@randymouser3816 yeah, the BARE MINIMUM is to get the order right. It’s honestly not that hard. And if you didn’t hear them correctly, simply ask again.
19:47 This is absolutely true. Working fast food, we can hear anything at the speaker if any one of us turns their mic on, or there is a car triggering the sensor. Not only do we hear you screaming at your kids in the back, but we'll also hear your phone conversations, your shitty brakes that make all of us go deaf when you screech to a halt, the roar of your engine if you are compensating for something, the guy racing down the street nearby, the sirens of the police car chasing the guy racing down the street, the employees from adjacent fast-food restaurants saying "Hi how are you!?" over and over, and babies screaming their heads off in the back. The fact that I can hear all of this, means that it isn't easy to hear you unless if you talk in a loud voice (not screaming, but like you are trying to talk to someone through a closed door). If I can't hear you, it's usually not my fault. The three times I can't hear you are A: You pulled too far away from the speaker/mic. The sound gets distorted the further away it is from the mic, and it is much harder to hear someone speaking from that distance. Similarly, B: You are ordering from the passenger seat of the car. The same issue with distance as pulling too far away, except you can fix this issue easily by LETTING THE DRIVER ORDER (unfortunately this is not always easy, as I've seen situations where the adult driver doesn't speak English, but the child passenger does. In that case, refer to C). C: Your voice is too quiet. If you mumble a lot (like me, but I've learned to kill that habit by actually working drive-thru), we are not going to be able to hear you. As I said before, imagine you are talking through a closed door. If you find yourself in a situation where you are further than usual, just increase the volume of your voice as if you were further away from that door.
Except that I talk loudly, do not have an accent but they STILL never put in the sausage and cheese biscuit. They always put in the sausage egg and cheese biscuit for like twice the god dam price!
@@jaalanodaicyr868 while I can't speak for whatever restaurant it is, there is always a bit of unclear moments especially if the person taking your order is multitasking. If you say something like "sausage and cheese and no egg" they might not hear the "no", so avoid mentioning the egg unless the item comes with it by default (and if it does, in my experience it isn't cheaper to remove an ingredient). Also, every word you utter that isn't a food item or a common request is harder for our ears to pick up, so if you ask us over and over to make sure there is no egg and then mention how many times you got egg by mistake, that increases the chances of confusion and a mistake being made. Keep it simple. Also you didn't mention it so I'm gonna also say pull close to the speaker. There's also the chance you just have a not very good listener on the other side of that speaker and I'm sorry if that happens sometimes that just happens. Edit: or they don't realize there is an sausage and cheese biscuit that's cheaper. I've seen new people give people items for way more than they should be because they don't understand the POS
@@Spyblox007 I'm talking about McDonalds. If you say "Sausage and cheese biscuit" they still put in sausage egg and cheese biscuit because its a more common order.
Big tip for anyone who drives an automatic car, shift into Neutral if they can't hear you, your engine will get quieter as it's no logner fighting the torque converter against your brakes. You will also save fuel if you shift into neutral while stopped, or if you're stopping for a while, put it right into park. I used to drive a diesel automatic, and no drive through could hear well unless I put it into N/P and the engine RMP actually dropped down to true idle.
A lot of people think that standard message when you call tech support of "This call may be monitored or recorded for quality or training purposes" is just a meaningless legal disclaimer. It isn't. People listen to those phone calls. They read your surveys, too. And anything less than a full star (3, 5, whatever the max is for that system) actually negatively impacts our work rankings and can even affect the agent's pay. So if you think "Eh, he was great but unless I got unbelievable service, 4 stars is as high as I go"... you may as well have given him 1 star. Because in the call center biz, it's top tier or nothing.
In my call centre, all our calls are recorded and our supervisors will listen to our calls occasionally for supervision purposes. They always tell us beforehand though like "your yearly review is coming up, and I'm going to pull 3 of your call recordings from the next week or so. So you have an opportunity to straighten up a bit if you've been getting lazy lol." They can also pull our call recordings if complaints come in or if there was any issue with staff conduct.
@@thenewleaves8258 at our center, every call that resulted in anything less than a top tier survey was listened to to figure out what went wrong. We also had to pull at least three calls per agent per week at random. We had an entire team devoted purely to quality control. I was the manager of it by the time I got laid off.
same thing with surveys for things like grocery stores/office stores. 99 10 star reviews in a row? cool. One 8 star takes you to a 73% and now your store manager is getting yelled at about it
@@thenewleaves8258 I know for an absolute fact that UPS and FEDEX dont do this, at all. I was outright lied to about a package, got the guys name and everything. Supervisor was like "nope sorry cant do anything once they clocked out for the day its all gone"
@@masterreaper115 probably because delivery companies hire a lot of temporary and seasonal drivers. Since they won't be around long, the companies don't invest very much in them.
Ever buy something on Amazon that came in a small foam pouch? That's a mixture of plastic and propane (the propane turns it from a plastic sheet into foam) is 100% recyclable and is even made from (some) recycled plastic. Source: I make the foam that makes that pouch.
Not that this is strictly related, but... Items can be labeled recyclable even if the planned path of recycling is for them to be funneled into an incinerator to produce power. See K-cups. No products that are a mix of plastic and foil will actually be recycled, they will be burned. I'm not saying it's bad, just that it's not what people assume when they see it on products.
I went on two guided nature hikes where the presenters of both backed up what the forest one was saying. My aunt worked in forestry for a long time. On one hike they talked about having to constantly protect the section of the oldest trees because people keep trying to buy the lumber and the land for a new highway. People don't see the value of protecting a type of tree that is going extinct because it's not an animal. They don't care that those trees are necessary to help the animals and plants in the region and it will affect the local wildlife if the trees suddenly disappear and a highway is built over the animals home.
there is currently some very high value land being tried to be bought by a toxic company that makes it's money selling off the value of the land by destroying it's value needless to say it'd affect water quality of a public spring that will be closed within a matter of years due to being unsafe to drink as a result ... this spring os multiple generations old and my grandparents would make 100mile round trips with a vam full of 1 gallon jugs just to enjoy the free clean water gonna need more than $$$5mill to protect the spring environment around and stop the destruction of value
7:37 Well that sucks. Because if someone calls my phone and refuses to identify themselves, I assume they're a creditor or a telemarketer and block their number. Luckily for me, I live alone and my clinic's number comes up as Restricted, the only number I know of that does.
A very late but hopefully helpful tip: doctors ask to speak to [Your Name]. If you're worried about telemarketing or scams, answer with "speaking" instead of yes. Scams want a yes, doctors will then reveal they are doctors.
to all - starting at 0:43 about cardboard and glue . . . that's probably only for cardboard intended for food containers, i.e., safe and biodegradable. This requires further research.
@@stephaniehowe0973 ^this. Worked for a paper manufacturer once. Normal cardboard is glued with synthetic glue. Food safe paper is also free from styrol-butadiene.
I was a diemaker for a folding carton company. Cardboard & paperboard are two different things. You don't want hot food served in cardboard. Places that process cardboard smell horrible.
1:40 "you can go your entire sentence without being in a fight or joining a gang" wtf? Shouldn't that be like the bare minimum of safety that a prison should provide to every inmate??!
Not in the USA, the US wants their prison system to be a meatgrinder ,because they are stupid and short sighted and do not GAF about insane recidivism rates. Prisons love this, because a lot of US prisons are operated for profit, so they want to keep near to capacity for maximum income from the government.
A friend of mine went to prison for assaulting dirty and racist cops. When he was in prison, he told the guards that the money that they were suppose to get for raises was being used on the shite cops to protect them and to silence the victims. When the guards investigated, it was true, so they purposely took good care of him. When the inmates heard what he was in for and why the guards were protecting him, they mostly left him alone. Then he started studying to be a lawyer to help the inmates that were arrested on bogus charges, he helped any inmate that was willing to not fight when fights broke out.
The letting a patient go thing is so difficult, sometimes not because the families are being selfish but because the doctors are told "you have to do everything for every patient without (age, medical history etc) discrimination." It took nearly two years of struggling after my grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 82-83 for her to die. She wanted euthenasia immediately after the diagnosis. She had a bad hip, a fake knee that didn't heal properly so she couldn't walk and had chronic pain, itches on her back that she couldn't scratch that were driving her nuts, nearly all the grandkids were already adults and her friends and husband had all died. She was d o n e. And they refused to let her die, cause she had a usually treatable cancer and could prolong her life until maybe 85. They did not listen to her low quality of life. The only way for her to get anything she actually wanted done was for my mom (who is a doctor) to talk to the medical professionals in their own terms. Eventually they got the nurses and floor doctor to agree that if she stopped eating, they would up her sleep/pain medication a bit so she didn't suffer while starving herself. She passed away in her sleep the day after. I think her body was just waiting for that relaxation and the reassurance that the struggle was finally over. This way it's choosing death by yourself rather than having the dr agree to euthanasia, which is "easier" to accomplish. It sucks but it's the way many old people eventually go if they are denied euthanasia. My mother and her siblings now each have a recipe for an easy and painless "pill of death" type thing so that if they're ever in this situation, they can end it themselves and don't have to suffer through however many years of euthanasia denials.
Sailor here. When ships go through narrow channels and drift too close to the edge, the correct thing to do is increase speed and turn slightly towards the "wall". The pivot point of a ship is very far forward, so steering away wont turn the bow away barely at all, it will only push the stern further towards the wall. The ship creates a high pressure area in the water at the bow, which when getting close enough to a wall or barrier for the water, will automatically push the bow away from that obstacle. The stern has a low pressure area and does the opposite, sucks itself closer to the obstacle. Thats why you steer in the opposite dorection of where you want to go, to prevent the stern hitting the edge of the canal. Also bowthrusters dont work above 3-4 knots, speed 2 is bs.
I raced in Speedway and have ridden alot of bikes offroad, poeple refuse to believe that in most situations where you begin to lose control its better to actually give more power or maintain speed than to slow down or hit the brakes. Often you will lose traction and the entire balance and suspension preload of the vehicle completely changes when you reduce speed. I've seen some crazy crashes from poeple panicking in a corner and taking their foot off the accelerator
@@archygrey9093 100%. At most let off power in most situations. Braking upsets everything and makes it far worse. That simple idea is what distinguishes most people who can or cannot drive in snow or heavy rain.
About the privacy one, my first job out of college was with a small, family owned business. My job was to maintain the website and send marketing emails. I was appalled that we collected the emails of everyone who ordered from us, even if they didnt sign up to be emailed. Those people (who didnt sign up) were put on a B List and emailed less often compared to the A List (people who did sign up). I hate that and I hate when other companies do it too. I dont want emails from you if I bought something once. And it’s too much of a hassle to unsubscribe every time. Modern society has some of the worst drawbacks.
I worked in a homeless shelter for 8 years. What amazed me is that most of the men who stay there liked being homeless. There was lots of programs to help the get into public housing and find jobs, but very few took advantage of them. I knew one guy pretty well who told me that he liked living in his "campsite" and that he only came into the shelter if it got really cold. Most of the men would just work a day job called "catching out" and would make about $50 which was enough for beer and cigs for the rest of the week. Otherwise, they ate at the shelter, got new clothes once a week and a free place to stay. Why work?
It's better than the people who go out bumming for money, refusing to do a job. I get that some people might be bad off, but it's pretty funny how most of the ones I see doing that aren't hard up enough to be out in really bad weather or on really hot days.
I first found it hard to believe that the natural response for family members of people with mental handicaps would be to horribly abuse them... until I stopped to think that a lot of cases of mental damage were probably caused by abuse and neglect in the first place. i.e. drinking or substance abuse during pregnancy, incest, beatings involving the head, etc.
That prison one gave me a good idea for a story. A man is sent to prison and his wealthy brother makes a deal with the leader of a gang for his bros protection while hes in jail. He offers 50k and to take the gang leaders son as a ward to give him a better life by moving thr child and taking him to a good school etc. Then the drama will be about the boy experiencing 2 different sides
Worked at Wendys for 3 years, yeah the meat in the chili is slightly overcooked left overs from burger, but its still good for the chili, for while I was responsible for making the chili, guess I was good at it, had quite a few people stop to get chili specifically if I made it, but all I did was add a little extra meat than required.
I don't work for Wendy's, never have, but I can also confirm they do this. Honestly, I've even heard they take up to day old burgers and put them in the chili. Some find that disgusting, but I find it makes better chili. After all, day old chili is arguably _better_ than fresh. Can you confirm this?
@@Nerketur can confirm. Also, if there is more leftover meat than is required for chili then the extra can be frozen and added in when needed for a batch
I used to work at an amusement park as a ride op. We have multiple safety precautions and rules to make sure guests and their possessions are safe. The box you see us put our foot in before the ride starts is called the presence pedal. It’s to make sure that there is a ride op at the ride. No, there is no way we can make the ride longer as they are on timers. Yes, we can remove you from the line if you were seen cutting. And if you have your phone out on a ride after being warned, you can be banned from the park. And please be nice to the ride ops. They stand for hours on end, listening to you scream. They don’t get paid enough to listen to your complaints.
The one about the professors not wanting to fail their students really made me cry. It reminded me of that time a teacher did something illegal for me so I wouldn't fail school completely.

17:45. I'm sorry, no. You could never mistake 4.5 cc of morphine for 45 cc bc you would NEVER give someone 45 cc of morphine... unless, of course, you were trying to kill them. That's like saying you accidentally put 100 lbs of pressure on someone while giving them a massage
I thought that was odd, even if she did accidentally read 45cc there is no way she should have thought it was ok. Perhaps she was in training and the hospital was lazy and had her do it anyway without any monitoring. Depending on the country it could be a possibility.
Sage tea dries up breastmilk!! After i suffered a stillbirth, I talked to the lactation consultant and she told me that drinking sage tea 2-3 times a day will help to dry up the milk supply, and cold cabbage leaves as a compress will reduce engorged ducts. I was so grateful for that advice!

As a 15+ year optician. I can confirm what the one who works in a optical said. Also with glasses, if you have a very high prescription (+/- 5.00 and above), the lenses are going to be thick no matter what. Even if you get Hi-index. It helps, and is better then poly let alone plastic, but it's still going to be thick. Especially if you choose a rimless or semi-rimless frame.
Wow, whoever commented about the prison thing nailes it. I recieved 100 dollars a month when I did a 4 stretch, family looked out and I never had to rely on anyone (gangs etc). When I got out, I took care of them, (it was my inlaws). My Father in law passed away, but I was right there with him all the way to the end. I still help take care of my Mother in law. Just wanted to share. Thanks.
The fact that prison is like this in the USA is absolutely insane. Like, what's the point of throwing criminals into a meat grinder that just makes them worse people? Recidivism rates in the US are bonkers, if just about any other country had recidivism like that the heads of the higher ups in the justice department would roll. Prison is supposed to take problem people and make them not a problem, not turn them into white supremacist murders. And if the point is 'they never leave the system', stop screwing around and just sentence them to death. No reason to torture them and waste money if you really and truely want them 'gone for good' because they made a mistake. But I doubt the average knuckle-dragger in the US would see the big picture and vote on prison reforms that lower recidivism and make prisons not gang-member factories for most people who go there 'because it's supposed to be punishment.'

TL/DR: Drive thru timers suck for all of us As a drive thru worker, I'd like to confirm what was said in the video and add to it. It's true we can hear EVERYTHING. The sensitivity on those headsets is so high that when emergency vehicles drive by with their sirens blaring, I have to tell people to hold on a few seconds. I then pull the headset away from my ear and wait until it has passed. In addition, we have timers on our drive thru. Our employer, Taco Bell in my case, requires us to get you through the line in a certain amount of time. This is why, if you can't make up your mind relatively quickly, we will ask if you have any questions, or say something to try to speed things up. We aren't trying to be rude, but they ride us hard about those times. Next time you go to a drive thru, please try to know what you want or at the very least, familiarize yourself with the menu online before you arrive so when you get to us you don't have to spend 7 minutes just reading the entire menu. *Ask us questions!* This can help you and us both! Also, if you show up 5 minutes before we close, we may be out of certain ingredients. We won't wait 30 minutes to bring a full bag of chicken up to temp just for a $10 sale, nor should you expect us to. We try to stay on top of things, but sometimes unexpected large orders drain our ready-to-serve supply late at night. Also, on that note, if you come during the day when our lobby is open and you want to order $40, $50, $60 worth of food, please, for the love of (whatever you love here), please come inside! We are not allowed to park people like Culver's does. You wouldn't believe the anger and frustration this causes us and sometimes, your food will suffer as a result. Order 3 taco party packs? Don't be surprised if the ingredient portions are smaller than you'd expect or if one or two of your crunchy tacos are broken before you even open the box.... The tacos break easily sometimes and we're working fast to get your order out so we don't get b****ed at for our drive thru times. If only one or two break, we don't care. We will send it out anyway. The price you pay for putting us in that position.... I don't usually make the food. As I said, I'm a drive thru guy. But I know how to make food so I'm versatile and can help on the line for these huge orders. I've also seen food go out with obscene amounts of chipotle sauce or some other limited time hot sauces we've had..... By the way, we've implemented many new procedures to accommodate the Covid. Some of these slow our process down and the company still insists on these fast drive thru times. Frankly, I stopped caring about times long ago, but certain managers are pushing us hard and whether I care or not, I have to do whatever to keep my job. So I take shortcuts and so do others. Nothing that will harm your food, but just certain steps that are stupid and pointless anyway. If you have any questions about what the steps or processes are, or anything else, feel free to ask! I'm happy to answer any and all questions about anything... If you made it this far, thank you! 🤗🤗🤗
@@eltipobigotudo2162 On behalf of fast food workers everywhere, thank you! You're the kind I'll throw in a free cinnamon twist or drink for, just because I appreciate your courtesy... 🙂🙂🙂
The accuracy of this. My pet peeve is when they get to the window and add things to the order. Now the food person has to halt all orders to get you your extra stuff which increases waiting time for people both in drive thru AND in the restaurant and ruins times leading to us getting b*itched at.
@@ootwpublishingmedia7894 YES!!!! I forgot about this one... It's not that difficult as a cashier to alter it on the resister, but yes, it definitely adds a delay. Not only do we get b****ed at, but sometimes it's by both our employer AND the next few customers! I'm very fortunate in that I'm extroverted and on first name basis with many of my regulars. They know me and love me, partly because I try to have fun, and partly because they know I put customer service ahead of company policies. I've said as much verbatim too. My managers sometimes scold me for my blunt honesty with customers, but the customers reward me with good tips, so.... Lol! 🤗🤗🤗
along with sirens if there's a customer that has a vehicle that has the engine rumbling really loud it's double on speakers and it hurts so I would implore to please turn off you vehicle if it does something like this as we can't hear you over the loud rumble and when you get to the window as well. I know there's some people that likes to hear their engine revving but as someone with sensitive ears and soft spoken it hurts my ears and i don't even like the fact I have to yell at you to have you listen to me
7:20 we dont speak to people on the phone who refuse to identity themselves. Typically It goes something like "That's too bad, because you called me and not him and he wants to know who you are and why you are calling before he will speak with you. So I guess you have to call him directly and even then He is still going to make you tell him who you are and where you are calling from before he identifies himself" A lot of scammers refuse to tell you their names and where they are calling from before you give your info to them.
I always think of Spike (from “Buffy”) being very proud of his knowledge of how they cook “those onion blossom things” when there is a question about “industry secrets” like this one. (For those interested: according to Spike: you cut the onion into its blossom shape and then suspend upside down in ice water for 30 minutes - this is what helps it remain crisp and in its shape- before deep frying it.)
@@StewardofAutumn Yep! Spike never calls it that when he does this - probably weren’t allowed to use the name branded by the Outback restaurant? Who knows. It was the 90’s 😀 but blooming onions are amazing, and I think it’s cool to know how they keep it in its shape when they deep fry it and it’s loaded and weighed down by all that crispy (delicious but fat inducing!) goodness 😉
Fire sprinklers in most places like businesses and apartments aren't meant to put out a fire. Those sprinklers are meant to give you more time to get out. The increase of flammable material and objects is exponentially increasing, and water doesn't work on electrical or oil fires. I install fire sprinklers, and it's ridiculous that most of our service calls are idiots breaking the heads. Also, most homes have the sprinkler line connected to the master toilet, so everytime you flush you change the sprinkler water. Anywhere else has static water in it that doesn't get flushed and refilled until usually a year later and that water will stain everything.
Also. Your fire extinguisher should always be your main answer to fire, not sprinklers. You can't turn off the sprinklers until the fire department or marshall gets there, you can be fined and the insurance can refuse to pay. Not saying sprinklers aren't useless, but the average person is far more stupid than you can think and people tend to forget just how much stuff is flammable and how fast fires can spread when your stupid

"Failing a student is absolute agony for most professors." I call bullshit. Maybe for *some* but not most. I went to college for a year (an accident prevented me from continuing) after graduating high school, and then again a few years later at a community college. Out of a total of around 15 classes, 9 of my teachers flat out said on the first day of class that some people would fail. They used a bell curve, and it didn't matter what anybody did or didn't do, the bottom 15% of the class were guaranteed to fail. Like, if everybody in the class got an everage of 90%, but two students got an average of 88%, that "B" would turn into an "F" for both of them. In fact, that's the reason I gave up on college after that year of community college. I was doing okay... not terrible and not great, just decent... in 2 of my 4 classes, but still "failed" anyway because of the bullshit bell curve thing. I SHOULD have gotten a C+, but because I was on the low end of the class I still got a failing grade. Essentially, I was being punished not because I did very bad, but because most others did better than me. Well, of course they did, they just graduated a few months ago and it's been 5-6 years for me.
That is just wild... Horrible. How could someone, let alone a professor, believe in such bs principles. Idiotic. For some reason, though, I get the feeling that the more ludicrous the story, the more likely it happened in the US. I'm from Europe and I simply cannot imagine something so out of this world idiotic happening here. But maybe I just haven't seen enough of the world and what people are capable of believing as reasonable, lol.

I worked in group homes for years, have seen things most people do not imagine is going on all around you. When you adopt a child,if you go to juvenile detention,if you are hospitalized as a kid. It all goes into a database. So when your foster parents go to adopt you they look at this page that sprinkles sugar on the real story that you have gone through. Think of adopting a dog from the spca its the same thing. It will say kid does not do well in homes with pets. This means the child either killed animals at 1 point or had sexual beha iors with animals. However they could be treated and no longer have these behaviors but just to be safe they suggest the child not be in a home with pets.
4:57 - dead on. I had to fail a graduating senior one time. She hadn't passed anything all year. I was still going to let it slide if she passed the final, but her performance on the final was an insult to all that is right and good in the world. It was surreal.
@@BigBoss-sm9xj World History. First day of class she comes in late asking if this was American history. I responded negatively and she left. She came back 20 minutes later. It was all downhill from there.
@@SkyBombNoodles Hah hah. It wasn't funny for them. They were complaining like they weren't doing anything wrong. Which they did and got rightfully punished. I think like 5 of them were from the same class. Surprising that the teacher let all of them go at once.
I worked in restaurant in highschool, and college. I never seen some spit in food, but damn, I've seen stuff that makes me nervous to eat out. A restaurant is just a job. Do you make mistake at your job?
Culinary profession here If you go to a seafood restaurant and smell that "fish" smell- leave immediately. The amount of fish isnt enough to give off that smell if its fresh. Fish should be relatively odorless in smaller amounts, so that fishy smell means its spoiled, and no longer safe to eat. On that note, lobster places keep live lobsters on site because lobsters need to be either cooked or frozen immediately after they are killed, or their decomposing corpses will develop a toxin that is fatal to consume. If it doesn't kill you, you can bet your ass you'll be sick as shit for a while.
I have to disagree with this advice in one case. If the place is open to the air and its near a beach or ship dock, then the smell of fish is almost guaranteed.
That McDonald's Calander one reminds me when I worked discount retail this was a monthly conversation "Oh my god why is it so busy?!" "It's the first weekend of the month." "....Fuuuuuuck."
That’s like going to the grocery store the first week of the month & wondering why it’s so crazy busy... you say sometime to the cashier & they’re like... well food stamps have come in... & you’re like.... oh.... duh... I knew this. Reminds you of how far you’ve come & to pray for those that are struggling to make ends meet. & being very grateful for not needing to worry about that anymore.
Having TAed Physics at a major state university, I can tell you that if your attendance is great, you submit nearly all the homework, take nearly all the quizzes, and take all the exams, you will pass. Usually the exams are a large fraction of the grade, so a failing-range score after having done all this is seen as being due to not being good at test taking. F grades are reserved for people who don't do the work or shirk their responsibility to turn up for the exams. To be clear, this only happened once in the roughly 15 times I TAed. It is a rare talent to get a 3 on a 25 question multiple choice test (5 choices per question)!
Used to work security at a hospital, holding down drunk or drugged up patients so the nurses can put catheters was almost a daily thing. Once had a nurse thank me but looked at me weird and dismissed me after I said "no problem I get paid for doing this." I thought it was what I said that annoyed her but I was explained by a different nurse about how the nurse was most likely thanking the half chub because it made her job a little easier (a lot of nurses in my hospital hated security). Also, if a nurse asks you to hold down the hips... You don't need to hold down the hips, the nurse is fucking with you. During my first week I had a nurse tell me to hold a guy's hips down and my partner told him to shut up and let us do our jobs, partner told me that you only need to hold down the thighs but usually we just strap them in if they're a legit risk during the process and that the nurse was probably trying to get me pissed on. Never had anyone's urethra shredded but that's just because the catheter process never went wrong in my presence.
@@BROODxBELEG Nurses piss patients off, usually by lying, so security doesn't like them due to making our job harder. Nurses don't like security because we aren't really allowed to do anything - we can't touch the patients. A good example is a couple of nurses who was struggling with a cracked out patient who was at a great risk to himself due to the drugs in his system and he's a risk to the nurses as paranoid he was. Security was called to strap this guy down so they can stick a needle in his arm and when the guy kept freaking out and asking "why are they here, why are they here" the nurses said "they're just here to watch." This pissed me off because the guy knew that we weren't "there to watch" so he was getting combative and my job was about to become pretty fucking dangerous. I straight up told the guy that we weren't there to watch, we're there because he's seen as a risk and we might have to strap him down if it gets out of hand. The guy didn't want to be strapped down and after a few minutes of talking to the guy I managed to calm him down a bit and he let us strap him down as long as the straps weren't too tight on him. The nurse fucking HATED me for how I handled the situation and even reported me for obstructing her practice but my partner and supervisor took my side in to saying that I deescalated the situation as the patient was seeming to become violent. An example for the nurses is when some homeless guy came in screaming at the very nice front desk nurse that I enjoyed working with. I tried asking him politely to relax because I can't have him screaming in a hospital but he kept on. Eventually a boss nurse lady walked in and told me to get him out of her but I wasn't allowed to do that because I'm not allowed to touch anyone that isn't a physical danger and the hospital has this policy where we can't turn any patient away. The homeless guy wanted me to call the police for him so he can report the hospital for not helping him so I told him to sit down and shut up and I'll call the cops for (on) him. Tl:dr nurses hate security because we aren't allowed to do anything and security hates nurses because they make our jobs harder.
15:50 Same happened to my mom early this year. She had a stroke and Fell into a coma for two weeks. The doctor said, That she could get better, we should gibt her a chance. We did and it didn‘t get better. She died about one hour after her medication got dropped
Back in 2015 I was in a private school where they are treated the students like staff (not in a good way i.e. making them do management/janitorial stuff... some instances did make since because they were small and cash limited but). I used to help move boxes from food banks and most of the boxes were moldy and expired in 1997, I never much fancied the food after then.
I’m a line cook. The secret to making food taste so good that restaurants use is simple: salt, sear, and grease. Deep fried food tastes great because we actually deep fry it when you order it, in an actual deep fryer. Meat, burgers especially, taste good because we put a good sear on it and use plenty of salt. Herbs and spices are a small part of it too, but the sear and the salt are crucial.
@@plmokm33 That it does, it's a powerful tool in the kitchen, but obviously using the wrong amount can be disastrous. Sear is also important in regards to flavor because that sear or browning is the result of what chemistry calls the Maillard reaction, basically changes in the chemical makeup of the food due to the exposure to heat in the absence of water. This is why a grilled chicken breast tastes better than a boiled chicken breast even if both aren't seasoned at all, the actual chemical structure of the meat is changed by the heat of the grill. Usually it creates a more savory or umami taste, and it applies to vegetables, fruits, and grains the same as it does to meats. In more sweet foods it can cause caramelization, resulting in a sweeter yet more savory taste such as that found in grilled pineapple. Sorry I'm ranting but food is my passion. Hoping to go to culinary school someday.
That was not a rant! That was wonderful information...and explained so well. I love your passion....every one has something they nerd out on, and its beautiful! Good luck getting to culinary school, you got this!

Used to work at UPS. Yes, people are throwing your packages around. On top of that the machines and conveyor belts that sort and send your packages across the warehouse can often cause the packages to get caught and tear, in extreme cases I've seen packages get jammed up together and they'll get compressed down and break the contents, or heavy packages will slide down chutes and pancake lighter ones. Also, the packages all get stacked ontop of eachother from floor to ceiling all the way from front to back of the UPS trucks - in theory this is an elaborate game of Tetris, in practice the loaders often are being rushed and the 'load quality' could vary from that near-perfect Tetris load all the way down to a haphazard pile of boxes. Likewise, when the truck gets unloaded the unloaders are under severe time pressure and are likely throwing your package onto the conveyor belt. Oh, and the worst. I always hated whenever I had to do this, but if your box gets broken and sent to a service center (just a dedicated handling point for damaged packages in a building), we tended to just salvage what we can, tape it back together, and ship it on. I was told by management on several occasions over the years to "let the customer file a damage claim". TL;DR When shipping something, take steps to protect the contents of your package, because UPS won't.
I used to work at an airport so we often unloaded almost a ton of mail and parcels from each passenger plane all loose loaded as well as the baggage (we didn't have dedicated cargo planes). We handled parcels as gently as possible but with how fast we had to unload and load the plane it was impossible to do so, if you weren't throwing bags of parcels the whole 5m distance from in the hold to the cargo door then you were yelled at or even written up for being too slow. Stuff always fell off the cargo barrows too, we didn't have enough so we always had to pile them high meaning that with every bump something would fall off. AVI (Pets) and HUMS (Human remains) and wheelchairs were about the only things treated with the utmost care
"Failing a student is absolute agony for professors..." Nigerian Professors on Day 1 of semester: "You will fail, many of you will fail. And you will keep repeating this class every year... Only God can make you pass this class... you better pray."
12:45 this is also true of most government cars. essentially when a city needs cop cars or the like they'll call up the company and iron out what they need in it and they'll stipulate a uniform key (so if a cop loses the car key, they've got 20 copies) and usually the manufacturer is too cheap to actually make a new key just for that small order so they use a standard car key. the scary part comes when things like the gun lock and recording box come as part of the deal, in such cases the same key that opens the car will unlock the gun and it's a random key from a narrow selection of different locks. if you own a crown victoria or some other car that's standard for law enforcement there's a chance your key will also unlock a cop car. There's a guy who does advises on security who has a few speeches on youtube about all the ways to get past a lot of standard security, everything from key/pin gates using the same key to gain access inside the box, to simple motion unlock sensors (dude even unlocked the door of a closed bank by spitting a beer between the gap of their double door) the world is remarkable less safe than most people like to think it is. (also on a random note, 9 times out of 10 if you call a lock company because you got locked out of your house, they'll just drill out the lock. It's faster and they can sell you a new lock and an unfortunate number of them don't bother checking that you actually live there before drilling it out)
Worked at Taco Bell. Every item is made to order. The ingredients aren't but we can't put tacos and burritos together and let them sit under a heat lamp all day. They'd get very stale very fast or soggy. We develop speed that seems inhuman from the outside. Yes we can make the your 10 item plus order in under 2 minutes. Muscle memory and consistently making the same burritos makes moving fast easy. Due to the Muscle memory it's the reason we usually accidentally put a topping on you didn't want. It's harder to not put the food on than to stop ourselves from doing it. Yes a lot of teenagers come to mind when you think fast food employee but the reality is most of skilled staff that make the food and generally keep the stores going aren't not the teens but 20 to 40 year olds. Tge teens don't have the discipline, minds or work ethic yet to do much past cashiering. Teens also can't use the fryer, boiling water tanks that heat the food or any type machine that could possibly cause injuries so only adults can do 90% of the work. Also it can be a very stressful job and most people can't do it for more than a month. You'll be cursed out, harassed, hit on and have to deal with drunks, druggies, Karen's and aholes daily. Yet people think it's a good job for a teenager who will be hit on by old perverts, or bothered by strung out creeps or entitled idiots. I don't recommend fast food for a teen. Sorry long read.

Professors agonizing over failing students...I remember have to file a formal complaint (after informally escalating through the department itself per school policy, but the prof was married to the head of that college) to have my grade corrected. Not bc I didn't earn it, I did, she just did not agree with my political beliefs. Sucked because the class was heavily discussion based, so either I stay quiet and lose grade points, or lie. Things were eventually found in my favor, nothing happened to prof. Forgive me if I'm skeptical.
yeah... i had something like this not worse but failed a class due to a specific teacher hatin on my beliefs, she made enough of the grade for the class about the work on one specific thing that i didn't meet the criteria for due to my beliefs so i took the same class from a different teacher at a different place and did just fine this wasn't even college it was highschool ... some teachers can do and not teach while others can teach AND teach
I'm very good at noticing subtle details or issues that can be causing something not to work, additionally I have pretty general knowledge of tools, thus, my co-workers now usually come to me if something isn't working, even tho I'm not the official repair woman. People are always amazed how quickly I can figure the issue out, perhaps I am secretly a witch.
There's a bit to this, basically it boils down to either wish fulfillment or rose tinted glasses. The pressures on men to work themselves to death, lead many to idolize their high school years. Because that was (for a lot of them) the last time they had any freedom or could display any individualism. Then for others it's a wish fulfillment thing the time they lost that could have been those best years if only they hadn't had all that pressure or more freedom. That's why so much anime takes place in HS and why so many westerners seem to think japanese men are just perving on HS aged girls. It's really not that simple, it's more of a desire for a simpler time when they weren't pressured to conform as much and could explore romance. Instead of being pressured into marrying asap (if you have time to find a wife) and work insane hours to the point of not seeing your family much till you retire and die. Between the pressure and lack of time they end up with one of the fastest declining birthrates and a unusually high number of virgins past collage age. Oh and one funny thing there was a study done once that showed a spike in natural death rates for wifes of retired men because of stress. Suddenly that guy you hardly see is now constantly around, bored, and now their free time is taken up dealing with him.
Something I've learned at my workplace: About 20% of airline pilots can't tell basic shapes apart, actively disregard posted instructions, and think they're God's gift to the world. I'm never going flying again.
Very true about professors. Grading takes forever. Especially ones work that really requires thought. We have to make a rubric for each assignment and that takes time. It’s difficult to fail students because more failures make the department look bad and students won’t want to major in those studies. Also where I am at least, before giving a student a fail we are required to conference the moment we notice their grades are slipping because it cuts down in liability. Times have changed. When I was in college it was you do or die.
Now I know why a lot of the kid in my high school class got into University like Harvard and Standford... Cuz we all broke ASF... I didn't apply to those school but I'm thinking now I should have ....

Okay well I'm going to answer the title of the video, lol. There was this one time me and my family was at a restaurant at an outdoor mall having dinner, and at the table next to us there were three men. Two were young, and the other was old and kind of creepy. The old man kept staring at us, and we thought probably because my brother was being such a turd, but it was kind of creeping us out. When we were done eating, we walked around for a while. As we were leaving we walked past the restaurant and they were still there. The next morning my mom was scrolling through instagram and saw the old man on a local magazine cover. Turns out it was Stephen King.😂 He was visiting and was being interviewed about his dogs, LOL.😂
Phone repair tech here. If you've ever connected to public wifi (any wifi without a password) its likely your info has been stolen. Also unless you have a hardware reset key plus the special software your phone will always have your personal info on it even after a factory reset.
Oh I don’t know...there was one student that I was absolutely *GLEEFUL* to fail one student. He showed up to maybe the first class or two and then flaked the rest of the semester. The day before the final exam he emailed me to see when he could come in to hand in all his homework and take the makeup exams. I didn’t even need to check with my supervisor before telling him there wasn’t a snowball’s chance of passing. Note: if he had had even a shred of a decent excuse I would have worked with him and did for a couple of students-this guy did NOT. He just didn’t want to bother with class or assignments.
I can't stand teachers like the one narrating that story. If a student is doing poor work, that student should fail, period. Grade leniency is seriously bad business, imo. It's not fair to encourage someone to continue spending their money doing something they aren't good at.
I'm a former Janitor at a Cinemark, with what the person said at 5:43 must have encountered an unusually strict Cinemark cause or my location was SERIOUSLY falling down at that part of the job. There was always trash from the day before when I started my shift. I know because on several occasions I came in a s a customer and deliberately left a specific thing in a specific place to see if the day crew would clean it up and they DIDN'T! Yes I realize now that that is a WILDLY unhealthy way to interact with your workplace, no need to point that out.
Don't eat fast food; nobody washes the dishes. Every dish in every place I've worked has only ever been rinsed and maybe scraped off. Nobody uses soap, and nobody cleans them. I can't say which businesses specifically because I signed a contract when I got the job, but most fast food chains do this. If you want genuinely hygienic food, go to a locally owned business, or a higher end restaurant. If you can't afford it, you're better off getting food from the store.
It is just a few lines of code to train a neural network. Expert can easily do it in less than 30 minutes, with zero amount of creativity. So headlines like "scientists trained a neural network to distinguish X from Y" shouldn't be seen as accomplishment. However, collection and labeling of big amount of data really does require a lot of work. And invention of a better architecture of a neural network can indeed be a breakthrough.
Personally It annoys me when you get headlines like "scientists discovered how to extract oil from seaweed" or tree leaves or whatever. They always knew how too, literally any organic matter and even plastics that have some oil in them can be extracted with the simple process of destructive distillation or something similar. I did it all the time as a kid with just a tin can with a hole poked in it tossed on a fire, i could chuck a dried dog turd in there or sticks and leaves and get the oil from it but the media always acts like its an new amazing achievement that will save the world when some scientist "discovers" how to get oil from something. It always feels like a massive shill to get public funding
8:27 accurate. japanese students life is essentially conditioning for excessive overtime at work once their schooling ends. It is a throwback which the country is trying to fix, by "enforcing" normal working hours, the problem is, the laws have zero teeth - like many laws here. They also don't realize or refuse to realize that the school system is conditioning their youth to perpetuate the cycle of Death From Overwork (no joke, it is an actual term for cause of death here). To top it off, the system is greatly damaging to the happiness of many children who probably prefer to do other things but are forced to follow the norm by parents and peers.
A nurse that mixes up 4.5 cc with 45cc shouldn't have a job regardless. Uncommon sense should dictate something is wrong when you're off by a factor of 10... that's like trying to stuff 100 gallons in water into a 10 gallon tank. Ffs.

9:42 If you work at Target & catch someone stealing, you can actually be rewarded depending on what it was that they tried to steal. Caught someone trying to steal a video game & got $30 for reporting it.

I've always loved reading, and was quite advanced for my age in elementary school, think 2nd grader reading at a 6th grade level. Then I seemed to stall out at 9th grade level xD Not because I can't read higher level books, though, I just don't LIKE reading higher level books. They tend to drag on too much and focus more on smut and violence than the story and characters. No thanks. I'll take YA and JUV over that any day.
I don't really buy it. I was never read to as a kid, I was just forced to read. Then I ended up liking reading eventually. Reading is what gives you vocabulary, whether it's you doing it or someone doing it for you.
I work in a grocery store: There is NOT "More in the back room." Our entire job is to make sure every undamaged sale-able product is out on the sales floor and available to customers. It is literally all we do.
Is it a small one? Because my dad was one of those guys and he got results a few times
I have gotten results nearly every time I asked if there is more in the back, especially for bulky items that take up lots of shelf space.
It literally just takes a polite 'x is out of stock, is there any more in back?' But I guess for every entitled Karen, there is a worker who wants to discourage anyone from asking them to check the stock on a POS terminal.
Might just be your store. I've asked constantly when the store is out of something and 90% of the time they just haven't gotten around to restocking yet.
Former grocery store worker (5 different companies over a couple of decades)-can confirm
add to this if u ask someone who works at a grocery store to check in the box and they go back there they will go in the associate only area and go on their phone or just talk to someone in the back area.
I had a professor that seemed to take great pride in the fact that a good portion of students barely passed his class each semester. Like he thought the fact a small percentage of the class could score higher then a C showed he wasn't screwing around.
One of my classmates, as she was dropping the class told the professor that our grades reflect worse on him then it does on us and he might want to rethink how he teaches before the school realizes how absolutely worthless he is as a teacher.

It's "the loose but behind the wheel." That's true for a multitude of reasons with not just sounds, but also when driving a 20 year old vehicle at 80mph and complaining about the wheel shaking a little or pulling slightly to one side, or not being as responsive as they expected. If you want your 2005 civic to handle like a 2020 porch, expect to replace everything from the tires and rims to the bushings and bolts to the frame including the steering wheel and possible the transmission. It's 20 years old for gods sake and they expect it to behave like a brand new car.
The Chick fil A one is definitely true. I switched purses and didn’t switch my wallet before going to chick fil a and got to payment when I realized I didn’t have my wallet. They gave it to me free as an “act of kindness”. I ordered a salad, and a drink. I love Chick Fil A man.

@Limecoke That literally has nothing to do with the conversation before.
Limecoke that is the one caveat that I’m not a fan of. But big business is corrupt period. If you had to stop supporting every business that did anything wrong you’d have to live off the grid and grow your own food.
@Limecoke You technically said you didn't like the fact "that theyr'e homophobic and support trump." To piggyback off of Emme's comment, this, by that logic, is not limited to Chic Fil A then.
I used to take coupons from other chicken places when I worked at KFC. I'd get questioned by a higher up one time at any new store. Every single one would find my reasoning of "if they're using the coupon here, we're getting [competitor's] business" as perfectly acceptable lol
"Grading papers takes a really long time."
I was an undergrad TA for three semesters. We only graded one or two papers per semester. They take fucking forever and a good chunk of them made me want to drink.
If any students want a tip, make your papers/projects coherent, organized, and neat. Regardless of the contents of the paper, a professor is more likely to grade easier if your work doesn't give them a headache.

"There are four people with headsets on listening to you." - And yet my order STILL comes out wrong a good amount of the time.

This is absolutely true. Working fast food, we can hear anything at the speaker if any one of us turns their mic on, or there is a car triggering the sensor. Not only do we hear you screaming at your kids in the back, but we'll also hear your phone conversations, your shitty brakes that make all of us go deaf when you screech to a halt, the roar of your engine if you are compensating for something, the guy racing down the street nearby, the sirens of the police car chasing the guy racing down the street, the employees from adjacent fast-food restaurants saying "Hi how are you!?" over and over, and babies screaming their heads off in the back.
The fact that I can hear all of this, means that it isn't easy to hear you unless if you talk in a loud voice (not screaming, but like you are trying to talk to someone through a closed door). If I can't hear you, it's usually not my fault. The three times I can't hear you are A: You pulled too far away from the speaker/mic. The sound gets distorted the further away it is from the mic, and it is much harder to hear someone speaking from that distance. Similarly, B: You are ordering from the passenger seat of the car. The same issue with distance as pulling too far away, except you can fix this issue easily by LETTING THE DRIVER ORDER (unfortunately this is not always easy, as I've seen situations where the adult driver doesn't speak English, but the child passenger does. In that case, refer to C). C: Your voice is too quiet. If you mumble a lot (like me, but I've learned to kill that habit by actually working drive-thru), we are not going to be able to hear you. As I said before, imagine you are talking through a closed door. If you find yourself in a situation where you are further than usual, just increase the volume of your voice as if you were further away from that door.
Except that I talk loudly, do not have an accent but they STILL never put in the sausage and cheese biscuit. They always put in the sausage egg and cheese biscuit for like twice the god dam price!
@@jaalanodaicyr868 while I can't speak for whatever restaurant it is, there is always a bit of unclear moments especially if the person taking your order is multitasking. If you say something like "sausage and cheese and no egg" they might not hear the "no", so avoid mentioning the egg unless the item comes with it by default (and if it does, in my experience it isn't cheaper to remove an ingredient). Also, every word you utter that isn't a food item or a common request is harder for our ears to pick up, so if you ask us over and over to make sure there is no egg and then mention how many times you got egg by mistake, that increases the chances of confusion and a mistake being made. Keep it simple. Also you didn't mention it so I'm gonna also say pull close to the speaker.
There's also the chance you just have a not very good listener on the other side of that speaker and I'm sorry if that happens sometimes that just happens.
Edit: or they don't realize there is an sausage and cheese biscuit that's cheaper. I've seen new people give people items for way more than they should be because they don't understand the POS
@@Spyblox007 I'm talking about McDonalds. If you say "Sausage and cheese biscuit" they still put in sausage egg and cheese biscuit because its a more common order.

Big tip for anyone who drives an automatic car, shift into Neutral if they can't hear you, your engine will get quieter as it's no logner fighting the torque converter against your brakes. You will also save fuel if you shift into neutral while stopped, or if you're stopping for a while, put it right into park. I used to drive a diesel automatic, and no drive through could hear well unless I put it into N/P and the engine RMP actually dropped down to true idle.
A lot of people think that standard message when you call tech support of "This call may be monitored or recorded for quality or training purposes" is just a meaningless legal disclaimer.
It isn't. People listen to those phone calls.
They read your surveys, too. And anything less than a full star (3, 5, whatever the max is for that system) actually negatively impacts our work rankings and can even affect the agent's pay.
So if you think "Eh, he was great but unless I got unbelievable service, 4 stars is as high as I go"... you may as well have given him 1 star. Because in the call center biz, it's top tier or nothing.
In my call centre, all our calls are recorded and our supervisors will listen to our calls occasionally for supervision purposes. They always tell us beforehand though like "your yearly review is coming up, and I'm going to pull 3 of your call recordings from the next week or so. So you have an opportunity to straighten up a bit if you've been getting lazy lol."
They can also pull our call recordings if complaints come in or if there was any issue with staff conduct.
@@thenewleaves8258 at our center, every call that resulted in anything less than a top tier survey was listened to to figure out what went wrong. We also had to pull at least three calls per agent per week at random. We had an entire team devoted purely to quality control. I was the manager of it by the time I got laid off.
same thing with surveys for things like grocery stores/office stores. 99 10 star reviews in a row? cool. One 8 star takes you to a 73% and now your store manager is getting yelled at about it

Ever buy something on Amazon that came in a small foam pouch? That's a mixture of plastic and propane (the propane turns it from a plastic sheet into foam) is 100% recyclable and is even made from (some) recycled plastic.
Source: I make the foam that makes that pouch.
Not that this is strictly related, but...
Items can be labeled recyclable even if the planned path of recycling is for them to be funneled into an incinerator to produce power. See K-cups. No products that are a mix of plastic and foil will actually be recycled, they will be burned.
I'm not saying it's bad, just that it's not what people assume when they see it on products.

I went on two guided nature hikes where the presenters of both backed up what the forest one was saying. My aunt worked in forestry for a long time. On one hike they talked about having to constantly protect the section of the oldest trees because people keep trying to buy the lumber and the land for a new highway. People don't see the value of protecting a type of tree that is going extinct because it's not an animal. They don't care that those trees are necessary to help the animals and plants in the region and it will affect the local wildlife if the trees suddenly disappear and a highway is built over the animals home.

in america it wouldent be a surprise to hear a guard raped a prisoner
Not in the USA, the US wants their prison system to be a meatgrinder ,because they are stupid and short sighted and do not GAF about insane recidivism rates. Prisons love this, because a lot of US prisons are operated for profit, so they want to keep near to capacity for maximum income from the government.
A friend of mine went to prison for assaulting dirty and racist cops. When he was in prison, he told the guards that the money that they were suppose to get for raises was being used on the shite cops to protect them and to silence the victims. When the guards investigated, it was true, so they purposely took good care of him. When the inmates heard what he was in for and why the guards were protecting him, they mostly left him alone. Then he started studying to be a lawyer to help the inmates that were arrested on bogus charges, he helped any inmate that was willing to not fight when fights broke out.
The letting a patient go thing is so difficult, sometimes not because the families are being selfish but because the doctors are told "you have to do everything for every patient without (age, medical history etc) discrimination." It took nearly two years of struggling after my grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 82-83 for her to die. She wanted euthenasia immediately after the diagnosis. She had a bad hip, a fake knee that didn't heal properly so she couldn't walk and had chronic pain, itches on her back that she couldn't scratch that were driving her nuts, nearly all the grandkids were already adults and her friends and husband had all died. She was d o n e. And they refused to let her die, cause she had a usually treatable cancer and could prolong her life until maybe 85. They did not listen to her low quality of life. The only way for her to get anything she actually wanted done was for my mom (who is a doctor) to talk to the medical professionals in their own terms. Eventually they got the nurses and floor doctor to agree that if she stopped eating, they would up her sleep/pain medication a bit so she didn't suffer while starving herself. She passed away in her sleep the day after. I think her body was just waiting for that relaxation and the reassurance that the struggle was finally over.
This way it's choosing death by yourself rather than having the dr agree to euthanasia, which is "easier" to accomplish. It sucks but it's the way many old people eventually go if they are denied euthanasia. My mother and her siblings now each have a recipe for an easy and painless "pill of death" type thing so that if they're ever in this situation, they can end it themselves and don't have to suffer through however many years of euthanasia denials.
Sailor here. When ships go through narrow channels and drift too close to the edge, the correct thing to do is increase speed and turn slightly towards the "wall".
The pivot point of a ship is very far forward, so steering away wont turn the bow away barely at all, it will only push the stern further towards the wall.
The ship creates a high pressure area in the water at the bow, which when getting close enough to a wall or barrier for the water, will automatically push the bow away from that obstacle. The stern has a low pressure area and does the opposite, sucks itself closer to the obstacle. Thats why you steer in the opposite dorection of where you want to go, to prevent the stern hitting the edge of the canal.
Also bowthrusters dont work above 3-4 knots, speed 2 is bs.
Very interesting. Wasn't expecting that one at all.
Yea well doc hudson already teached me that
I raced in Speedway and have ridden alot of bikes offroad, poeple refuse to believe that in most situations where you begin to lose control its better to actually give more power or maintain speed than to slow down or hit the brakes. Often you will lose traction and the entire balance and suspension preload of the vehicle completely changes when you reduce speed.
I've seen some crazy crashes from poeple panicking in a corner and taking their foot off the accelerator
Thanks. Good to know

About the privacy one, my first job out of college was with a small, family owned business. My job was to maintain the website and send marketing emails. I was appalled that we collected the emails of everyone who ordered from us, even if they didnt sign up to be emailed. Those people (who didnt sign up) were put on a B List and emailed less often compared to the A List (people who did sign up).
I hate that and I hate when other companies do it too. I dont want emails from you if I bought something once. And it’s too much of a hassle to unsubscribe every time. Modern society has some of the worst drawbacks.
I worked in a homeless shelter for 8 years. What amazed me is that most of the men who stay there liked being homeless. There was lots of programs to help the get into public housing and find jobs, but very few took advantage of them. I knew one guy pretty well who told me that he liked living in his "campsite" and that he only came into the shelter if it got really cold. Most of the men would just work a day job called "catching out" and would make about $50 which was enough for beer and cigs for the rest of the week. Otherwise, they ate at the shelter, got new clothes once a week and a free place to stay. Why work?
It's better than the people who go out bumming for money, refusing to do a job. I get that some people might be bad off, but it's pretty funny how most of the ones I see doing that aren't hard up enough to be out in really bad weather or on really hot days.
That last one broke me.

Worked at Wendys for 3 years, yeah the meat in the chili is slightly overcooked left overs from burger, but its still good for the chili, for while I was responsible for making the chili, guess I was good at it, had quite a few people stop to get chili specifically if I made it, but all I did was add a little extra meat than required.
I don't work for Wendy's, never have, but I can also confirm they do this.
Honestly, I've even heard they take up to day old burgers and put them in the chili. Some find that disgusting, but I find it makes better chili. After all, day old chili is arguably _better_ than fresh.
Can you confirm this?
I actually appreciate that they do this instead of wasting the meat.
I hate food waste, so this is kind of reassuring.
@@Nerketur Oh god yes, chili always tastes so much better then it's aged. I make homemade chili and it always tastes better the next day.

No, there is no way we can make the ride longer as they are on timers. Yes, we can remove you from the line if you were seen cutting. And if you have your phone out on a ride after being warned, you can be banned from the park. And please be nice to the ride ops. They stand for hours on end, listening to you scream.

The fact that prison is like this in the USA is absolutely insane. Like, what's the point of throwing criminals into a meat grinder that just makes them worse people? Recidivism rates in the US are bonkers, if just about any other country had recidivism like that the heads of the higher ups in the justice department would roll. Prison is supposed to take problem people and make them not a problem, not turn them into white supremacist murders.
And if the point is 'they never leave the system', stop screwing around and just sentence them to death. No reason to torture them and waste money if you really and truely want them 'gone for good' because they made a mistake. But I doubt the average knuckle-dragger in the US would see the big picture and vote on prison reforms that lower recidivism and make prisons not gang-member factories for most people who go there 'because it's supposed to be punishment.'

TL/DR: Drive thru timers suck for all of us
As a drive thru worker, I'd like to confirm what was said in the video and add to it. It's true we can hear EVERYTHING. The sensitivity on those headsets is so high that when emergency vehicles drive by with their sirens blaring, I have to tell people to hold on a few seconds. I then pull the headset away from my ear and wait until it has passed. In addition, we have timers on our drive thru. Our employer, Taco Bell in my case, requires us to get you through the line in a certain amount of time. This is why, if you can't make up your mind relatively quickly, we will ask if you have any questions, or say something to try to speed things up. We aren't trying to be rude, but they ride us hard about those times. Next time you go to a drive thru, please try to know what you want or at the very least, familiarize yourself with the menu online before you arrive so when you get to us you don't have to spend 7 minutes just reading the entire menu. *Ask us questions!* This can help you and us both! Also, if you show up 5 minutes before we close, we may be out of certain ingredients. We won't wait 30 minutes to bring a full bag of chicken up to temp just for a $10 sale, nor should you expect us to. We try to stay on top of things, but sometimes unexpected large orders drain our ready-to-serve supply late at night. Also, on that note, if you come during the day when our lobby is open and you want to order $40, $50, $60 worth of food, please, for the love of (whatever you love here), please come inside! We are not allowed to park people like Culver's does. You wouldn't believe the anger and frustration this causes us and sometimes, your food will suffer as a result. Order 3 taco party packs? Don't be surprised if the ingredient portions are smaller than you'd expect or if one or two of your crunchy tacos are broken before you even open the box.... The tacos break easily sometimes and we're working fast to get your order out so we don't get b****ed at for our drive thru times. If only one or two break, we don't care. We will send it out anyway. The price you pay for putting us in that position.... I don't usually make the food. As I said, I'm a drive thru guy. But I know how to make food so I'm versatile and can help on the line for these huge orders. I've also seen food go out with obscene amounts of chipotle sauce or some other limited time hot sauces we've had..... By the way, we've implemented many new procedures to accommodate the Covid. Some of these slow our process down and the company still insists on these fast drive thru times. Frankly, I stopped caring about times long ago, but certain managers are pushing us hard and whether I care or not, I have to do whatever to keep my job. So I take shortcuts and so do others. Nothing that will harm your food, but just certain steps that are stupid and pointless anyway. If you have any questions about what the steps or processes are, or anything else, feel free to ask! I'm happy to answer any and all questions about anything... If you made it this far, thank you! 🤗🤗🤗

Fire sprinklers in most places like businesses and apartments aren't meant to put out a fire. Those sprinklers are meant to give you more time to get out. The increase of flammable material and objects is exponentially increasing, and water doesn't work on electrical or oil fires. I install fire sprinklers, and it's ridiculous that most of our service calls are idiots breaking the heads. Also, most homes have the sprinkler line connected to the master toilet, so everytime you flush you change the sprinkler water. Anywhere else has static water in it that doesn't get flushed and refilled until usually a year later and that water will stain everything.
Also. Your fire extinguisher should always be your main answer to fire, not sprinklers. You can't turn off the sprinklers until the fire department or marshall gets there, you can be fined and the insurance can refuse to pay. Not saying sprinklers aren't useless, but the average person is far more stupid than you can think and people tend to forget just how much stuff is flammable and how fast fires can spread when your stupid

"Failing a student is absolute agony for most professors." I call bullshit. Maybe for *some* but not most. I went to college for a year (an accident prevented me from continuing) after graduating high school, and then again a few years later at a community college. Out of a total of around 15 classes, 9 of my teachers flat out said on the first day of class that some people would fail. They used a bell curve, and it didn't matter what anybody did or didn't do, the bottom 15% of the class were guaranteed to fail. Like, if everybody in the class got an everage of 90%, but two students got an average of 88%, that "B" would turn into an "F" for both of them. In fact, that's the reason I gave up on college after that year of community college. I was doing okay... not terrible and not great, just decent... in 2 of my 4 classes, but still "failed" anyway because of the bullshit bell curve thing. I SHOULD have gotten a C+, but because I was on the low end of the class I still got a failing grade. Essentially, I was being punished not because I did very bad, but because most others did better than me. Well, of course they did, they just graduated a few months ago and it's been 5-6 years for me.
That is just wild... Horrible. How could someone, let alone a professor, believe in such bs principles. Idiotic. For some reason, though, I get the feeling that the more ludicrous the story, the more likely it happened in the US.

If you go to a seafood restaurant and smell that "fish" smell- leave immediately. The amount of fish isnt enough to give off that smell if its fresh. Fish should be relatively odorless in smaller amounts, so that fishy smell means its spoiled, and no longer safe to eat.
On that note, lobster places keep live lobsters on site because lobsters need to be either cooked or frozen immediately after they are killed, or their decomposing corpses will develop a toxin that is fatal to consume. If it doesn't kill you, you can bet your ass you'll be sick as shit for a while.
I have to disagree with this advice in one case.
If the place is open to the air and its near a beach or ship dock, then the smell of fish is almost guaranteed.
@@Nerketur that's true. But if you live inland, run. I'm in a land locked state, so we're really wary about seafood over here.
That McDonald's Calander one reminds me when I worked discount retail this was a monthly conversation
"Oh my god why is it so busy?!"
"It's the first weekend of the month."
"....Fuuuuuuck."
That’s like going to the grocery store the first week of the month & wondering why it’s so crazy busy... you say sometime to the cashier & they’re like... well food stamps have come in... & you’re like.... oh.... duh... I knew this. Reminds you of how far you’ve come & to pray for those that are struggling to make ends meet. & being very grateful for not needing to worry about that anymore.
Having TAed Physics at a major state university, I can tell you that if your attendance is great, you submit nearly all the homework, take nearly all the quizzes, and take all the exams, you will pass. Usually the exams are a large fraction of the grade, so a failing-range score after having done all this is seen as being due to not being good at test taking.
F grades are reserved for people who don't do the work or shirk their responsibility to turn up for the exams. To be clear, this only happened once in the roughly 15 times I TAed. It is a rare talent to get a 3 on a 25 question multiple choice test (5 choices per question)!
Used to work security at a hospital, holding down drunk or drugged up patients so the nurses can put catheters was almost a daily thing. Once had a nurse thank me but looked at me weird and dismissed me after I said "no problem I get paid for doing this." I thought it was what I said that annoyed her but I was explained by a different nurse about how the nurse was most likely thanking the half chub because it made her job a little easier (a lot of nurses in my hospital hated security). Also, if a nurse asks you to hold down the hips... You don't need to hold down the hips, the nurse is fucking with you. During my first week I had a nurse tell me to hold a guy's hips down and my partner told him to shut up and let us do our jobs, partner told me that you only need to hold down the thighs but usually we just strap them in if they're a legit risk during the process and that the nurse was probably trying to get me pissed on. Never had anyone's urethra shredded but that's just because the catheter process never went wrong in my presence.
Im really wondering why there's beef between the nurses and security
@@BROODxBELEG Nurses piss patients off, usually by lying, so security doesn't like them due to making our job harder. Nurses don't like security because we aren't really allowed to do anything - we can't touch the patients.
A good example is a couple of nurses who was struggling with a cracked out patient who was at a great risk to himself due to the drugs in his system and he's a risk to the nurses as paranoid he was. Security was called to strap this guy down so they can stick a needle in his arm and when the guy kept freaking out and asking "why are they here, why are they here" the nurses said "they're just here to watch." This pissed me off because the guy knew that we weren't "there to watch" so he was getting combative and my job was about to become pretty fucking dangerous. I straight up told the guy that we weren't there to watch, we're there because he's seen as a risk and we might have to strap him down if it gets out of hand. The guy didn't want to be strapped down and after a few minutes of talking to the guy I managed to calm him down a bit and he let us strap him down as long as the straps weren't too tight on him. The nurse fucking HATED me for how I handled the situation and even reported me for obstructing her practice but my partner and supervisor took my side in to saying that I deescalated the situation as the patient was seeming to become violent.
An example for the nurses is when some homeless guy came in screaming at the very nice front desk nurse that I enjoyed working with. I tried asking him politely to relax because I can't have him screaming in a hospital but he kept on. Eventually a boss nurse lady walked in and told me to get him out of her but I wasn't allowed to do that because I'm not allowed to touch anyone that isn't a physical danger and the hospital has this policy where we can't turn any patient away. The homeless guy wanted me to call the police for him so he can report the hospital for not helping him so I told him to sit down and shut up and I'll call the cops for (on) him.
Tl:dr nurses hate security because we aren't allowed to do anything and security hates nurses because they make our jobs harder.
Holy shit thanks for helping me understand the thank you thing. I'm sure it was obvious but my tired brain just couldn't process it lol
15:50 Same happened to my mom early this year. She had a stroke and Fell into a coma for two weeks. The doctor said, That she could get better, we should gibt her a chance. We did and it didn‘t get better. She died about one hour after her medication got dropped
Back in 2015 I was in a private school where they are treated the students like staff (not in a good way i.e. making them do management/janitorial stuff... some instances did make since because they were small and cash limited but). I used to help move boxes from food banks and most of the boxes were moldy and expired in 1997, I never much fancied the food after then.
I’m a line cook. The secret to making food taste so good that restaurants use is simple: salt, sear, and grease. Deep fried food tastes great because we actually deep fry it when you order it, in an actual deep fryer. Meat, burgers especially, taste good because we put a good sear on it and use plenty of salt. Herbs and spices are a small part of it too, but the sear and the salt are crucial.
Salt enhances all other flavors, so I can believe this.
@@plmokm33 That it does, it's a powerful tool in the kitchen, but obviously using the wrong amount can be disastrous. Sear is also important in regards to flavor because that sear or browning is the result of what chemistry calls the Maillard reaction, basically changes in the chemical makeup of the food due to the exposure to heat in the absence of water.
This is why a grilled chicken breast tastes better than a boiled chicken breast even if both aren't seasoned at all, the actual chemical structure of the meat is changed by the heat of the grill.
Usually it creates a more savory or umami taste, and it applies to vegetables, fruits, and grains the same as it does to meats. In more sweet foods it can cause caramelization, resulting in a sweeter yet more savory taste such as that found in grilled pineapple.
Sorry I'm ranting but food is my passion. Hoping to go to culinary school someday.
That was not a rant! That was wonderful information...and explained so well. I love your passion....every one has something they nerd out on, and its beautiful! Good luck getting to culinary school, you got this!
gonna try putting a proper sear on my freshly made bread

Used to work at UPS.
Yes, people are throwing your packages around. On top of that the machines and conveyor belts that sort and send your packages across the warehouse can often cause the packages to get caught and tear, in extreme cases I've seen packages get jammed up together and they'll get compressed down and break the contents, or heavy packages will slide down chutes and pancake lighter ones. Also, the packages all get stacked ontop of eachother from floor to ceiling all the way from front to back of the UPS trucks - in theory this is an elaborate game of Tetris, in practice the loaders often are being rushed and the 'load quality' could vary from that near-perfect Tetris load all the way down to a haphazard pile of boxes. Likewise, when the truck gets unloaded the unloaders are under severe time pressure and are likely throwing your package onto the conveyor belt.
Oh, and the worst. I always hated whenever I had to do this, but if your box gets broken and sent to a service center (just a dedicated handling point for damaged packages in a building), we tended to just salvage what we can, tape it back together, and ship it on. I was told by management on several occasions over the years to "let the customer file a damage claim".
TL;DR When shipping something, take steps to protect the contents of your package, because UPS won't.
I used to work at an airport so we often unloaded almost a ton of mail and parcels from each passenger plane all loose loaded as well as the baggage (we didn't have dedicated cargo planes). We handled parcels as gently as possible but with how fast we had to unload and load the plane it was impossible to do so, if you weren't throwing bags of parcels the whole 5m distance from in the hold to the cargo door then you were yelled at or even written up for being too slow.
Stuff always fell off the cargo barrows too, we didn't have enough so we always had to pile them high meaning that with every bump something would fall off.
AVI (Pets) and HUMS (Human remains) and wheelchairs were about the only things treated with the utmost care
I used to work at UPS as well and I concur.
"Failing a student is absolute agony for professors..."
Nigerian Professors on Day 1 of semester: "You will fail, many of you will fail. And you will keep repeating this class every year... Only God can make you pass this class... you better pray."
12:45 this is also true of most government cars. essentially when a city needs cop cars or the like they'll call up the company and iron out what they need in it and they'll stipulate a uniform key (so if a cop loses the car key, they've got 20 copies) and usually the manufacturer is too cheap to actually make a new key just for that small order so they use a standard car key. the scary part comes when things like the gun lock and recording box come as part of the deal, in such cases the same key that opens the car will unlock the gun and it's a random key from a narrow selection of different locks. if you own a crown victoria or some other car that's standard for law enforcement there's a chance your key will also unlock a cop car. There's a guy who does advises on security who has a few speeches on youtube about all the ways to get past a lot of standard security, everything from key/pin gates using the same key to gain access inside the box, to simple motion unlock sensors (dude even unlocked the door of a closed bank by spitting a beer between the gap of their double door) the world is remarkable less safe than most people like to think it is. (also on a random note, 9 times out of 10 if you call a lock company because you got locked out of your house, they'll just drill out the lock. It's faster and they can sell you a new lock and an unfortunate number of them don't bother checking that you actually live there before drilling it out)
Worked at Taco Bell. Every item is made to order. The ingredients aren't but we can't put tacos and burritos together and let them sit under a heat lamp all day. They'd get very stale very fast or soggy. We develop speed that seems inhuman from the outside. Yes we can make the your 10 item plus order in under 2 minutes. Muscle memory and consistently making the same burritos makes moving fast easy. Due to the Muscle memory it's the reason we usually accidentally put a topping on you didn't want. It's harder to not put the food on than to stop ourselves from doing it. Yes a lot of teenagers come to mind when you think fast food employee but the reality is most of skilled staff that make the food and generally keep the stores going aren't not the teens but 20 to 40 year olds. Tge teens don't have the discipline, minds or work ethic yet to do much past cashiering. Teens also can't use the fryer, boiling water tanks that heat the food or any type machine that could possibly cause injuries so only adults can do 90% of the work. Also it can be a very stressful job and most people can't do it for more than a month. You'll be cursed out, harassed, hit on and have to deal with drunks, druggies, Karen's and aholes daily. Yet people think it's a good job for a teenager who will be hit on by old perverts, or bothered by strung out creeps or entitled idiots. I don't recommend fast food for a teen. Sorry long read.

Professors agonizing over failing students...I remember have to file a formal complaint (after informally escalating through the department itself per school policy, but the prof was married to the head of that college) to have my grade corrected. Not bc I didn't earn it, I did, she just did not agree with my political beliefs. Sucked because the class was heavily discussion based, so either I stay quiet and lose grade points, or lie. Things were eventually found in my favor, nothing happened to prof. Forgive me if I'm skeptical.
yeah... i had something like this not worse but failed a class due to a specific teacher hatin on my beliefs, she made enough of the grade for the class about the work on one specific thing that i didn't meet the criteria for due to my beliefs so i took the same class from a different teacher at a different place and did just fine this wasn't even college it was highschool ... some teachers can do and not teach while others can teach AND teach

8:44 So, pretty much every visual novel and anime is lying to us?
There's a bit to this, basically it boils down to either wish fulfillment or rose tinted glasses. The pressures on men to work themselves to death, lead many to idolize their high school years. Because that was (for a lot of them) the last time they had any freedom or could display any individualism. Then for others it's a wish fulfillment thing the time they lost that could have been those best years if only they hadn't had all that pressure or more freedom. That's why so much anime takes place in HS and why so many westerners seem to think japanese men are just perving on HS aged girls.
It's really not that simple, it's more of a desire for a simpler time when they weren't pressured to conform as much and could explore romance. Instead of being pressured into marrying asap (if you have time to find a wife) and work insane hours to the point of not seeing your family much till you retire and die. Between the pressure and lack of time they end up with one of the fastest declining birthrates and a unusually high number of virgins past collage age. Oh and one funny thing there was a study done once that showed a spike in natural death rates for wifes of retired men because of stress. Suddenly that guy you hardly see is now constantly around, bored, and now their free time is taken up dealing with him.

Very true about professors. Grading takes forever. Especially ones work that really requires thought. We have to make a rubric for each assignment and that takes time. It’s difficult to fail students because more failures make the department look bad and students won’t want to major in those studies. Also where I am at least, before giving a student a fail we are required to conference the moment we notice their grades are slipping because it cuts down in liability. Times have changed. When I was in college it was you do or die.

Okay well I'm going to answer the title of the video, lol.
There was this one time me and my family was at a restaurant at an outdoor mall having dinner, and at the table next to us there were three men. Two were young, and the other was old and kind of creepy. The old man kept staring at us, and we thought probably because my brother was being such a turd, but it was kind of creeping us out.
When we were done eating, we walked around for a while. As we were leaving we walked past the restaurant and they were still there.
The next morning my mom was scrolling through instagram and saw the old man on a local magazine cover.
Turns out it was Stephen King.😂 He was visiting and was being interviewed about his dogs, LOL.😂

Oh I don’t know...there was one student that I was absolutely *GLEEFUL* to fail one student. He showed up to maybe the first class or two and then flaked the rest of the semester. The day before the final exam he emailed me to see when he could come in to hand in all his homework and take the makeup exams.
I didn’t even need to check with my supervisor before telling him there wasn’t a snowball’s chance of passing.
Note: if he had had even a shred of a decent excuse I would have worked with him and did for a couple of students-this guy did NOT. He just didn’t want to bother with class or assignments.
I can't stand teachers like the one narrating that story. If a student is doing poor work, that student should fail, period. Grade leniency is seriously bad business, imo. It's not fair to encourage someone to continue spending their money doing something they aren't good at.

Don't eat fast food; nobody washes the dishes. Every dish in every place I've worked has only ever been rinsed and maybe scraped off. Nobody uses soap, and nobody cleans them. I can't say which businesses specifically because I signed a contract when I got the job, but most fast food chains do this. If you want genuinely hygienic food, go to a locally owned business, or a higher end restaurant. If you can't afford it, you're better off getting food from the store.

It is just a few lines of code to train a neural network. Expert can easily do it in less than 30 minutes, with zero amount of creativity. So headlines like "scientists trained a neural network to distinguish X from Y" shouldn't be seen as accomplishment. However, collection and labeling of big amount of data really does require a lot of work. And invention of a better architecture of a neural network can indeed be a breakthrough.
Personally It annoys me when you get headlines like "scientists discovered how to extract oil from seaweed" or tree leaves or whatever. They always knew how too, literally any organic matter and even plastics that have some oil in them can be extracted with the simple process of destructive distillation or something similar. I did it all the time as a kid with just a tin can with a hole poked in it tossed on a fire, i could chuck a dried dog turd in there or sticks and leaves and get the oil from it but the media always acts like its an new amazing achievement that will save the world when some scientist "discovers" how to get oil from something.
It always feels like a massive shill to get public funding
8:27 accurate. japanese students life is essentially conditioning for excessive overtime at work once their schooling ends. It is a throwback which the country is trying to fix, by "enforcing" normal working hours, the problem is, the laws have zero teeth - like many laws here. They also don't realize or refuse to realize that the school system is conditioning their youth to perpetuate the cycle of Death From Overwork (no joke, it is an actual term for cause of death here). To top it off, the system is greatly damaging to the happiness of many children who probably prefer to do other things but are forced to follow the norm by parents and peers.
