Can we all stop and please spare a kind thought/prayer for Jerry and so many others like him who got knocked down by a run of bad luck? And maybe remember to have grace when dealing with people dealing with housing insecurity? A person without a home is still a *person.* ❤
Well said! I actually hired a homeless man when I had my painting company and he was the absolute best worker I ever had! I sold my business and he is now their manager and doing great! Don't judge people, sometimes people just end up in a bad place and it only takes one person and kindness to change that for them forever! Jerry my man, I hope this was your first step to a new life ❤
I remember working beside a woman who would come in at 9am and instead of starting work, she would use the company phone to call her sister in New Zealand. Obviously, these calls were really expensive and she was eventually challenged about them. Instead of being apologetic, she was outraged that the cost of the calls was deducted from her wages.
@@ugaladhHa, we had a hospital employee who ran up thousands to one of those 1-800-PORN sites. Didn’t get fired, they were deducting what he owed from his pay check.
My idiot ex-bf got fired because he got caught using the company cell to call some 18 yr old girl (he was 33) in the Philippines during his breaks every single day. Being the total dumbass that he is, he told on himself by calling me right after getting fired crying about how he just got fired (for doing what he did) and how the company is so unfair.
As someone who is allergic to shellfish, the last story is an example of why I absolutely refuse to go to a seafood restaurant. I've had friends and coworkers who've said the restaurant can prepare something separately and so on. Knowing my luck I'll get this woman [or her twin] who's worked in the food industry for over a decade but will serve me something that has been cross-contaminated because she doesn't care!
I’m not allergic to anything nor do I have anyone I love allergic but that still set me off!! What a disgusting woman to put people at risk without a single care in the world. Wish someone would slip some arsenic to her… maybe her “allergic reaction” won’t be so bad🤷🏼♀️
My husband and I own a business. We had an employee who we had to let go because he was taking plumbing parts from our inventory without signing them out and then using them to moonlight. A couple of weeks later we got a call from the police letting us know that the ex employee was driving a vehicle with one of our company vehicle license plates. He'd stolen it from one of the parked spare vans out back. Cops went to his house and found over $10,000 worth of our inventory in his garage. Talk about being robbed blind!
Wow.. My friend owns a meat market.. he found it a young guy was stealing meat & selling it to people in the neighborhood.. So he took him for a long drive. Managed to get his sneakers from him, then left him there to walk back! Bahahaha. Karma is a BITCH..
I don't understand why these 2 idiots were talking smack about their boss when it's their first day. It's amazing how ungrateful people are. I absolutely abhor not being able to work right now because of my panic disorder. I can't even go to Subway and get something to eat there. I worked there for a year and a half. I've only gone there 1 time to get something to eat since I left there almost 3 years ago. I saw the owner about 2 months ago. He of course understands my situation and he said I can go back and work for him if I'm ever ready again. It's been 3 years. Be grateful for the job your in.
Yeah, on top of that they were getting paid fairly well, $13 an hour was almost double minimum wage 8 (corrected from 13) years ago (in most states) and still is.
Jerry seems to be a standup guy . At 62 years not taking any handouts still working with integrity . The other two guys what to say of them when a former investment banker was doing their jobs for them .
McDonald's ice cream machine never being actually broken is 100% true. I worked there all through highschool and my mom was (and still is) the store manager of that location. She runs a tight ship, and has won a lot of big awards from the company. Our ice cream machine is almost never down. As long as they are properly maintained, they'll run forever.
Yeah I worked at a Wendy's & the frosty machine is similar. Of you don't get new mix in before it's totally out it takes so long to get it frozen & running. We had 2 machines so hopefully there was always 1 working but sometimes kids would be flipping pickles onto the ceiling or shrinking plastic lids in the fryer vat (yeah it's like shrinky drinks, but I still wonder how it affected the oil) and it wouldn't get done. They say it's broken bc if they told the truth people insisted on sitting at the drive thru window until it was ready. And the store is rated based on "service times." There was typically a manager walking around "encouraging " you to get the food out, while shouring & clapping his hands lol, and then saying things like "if you have time to lean, you have time to clean."
3:32 Depends on the variety. For a plain vanilla one, that would be pretty ridiculous, but after a quick search on one adult store's website, I found a variety of "sexy hotdog" that normally costs $150 (currently discounted to $119). At full price, only 27 would need to be purchased to reach $4,000. For a group of 20 people that would be one each, plus an second one for some if they were into doubling up on them.
Jerry sounds like a gem going through hard times. I hope he's doing better. Sad about his so called family. I hope he's found steady employment & isn't homeless. 💚❤️😢
My husband and I used to own a sod installation business. One of the guys we hired didn't realize that me and my husband were the ones paying him. He thought the people who ran the sod farm were the ones paying. On his first day of work he says to me "We should just work really slow so that we get paid for more hours" 🤦🏻♀️ I said "You mean milking the clock? You realize you're talking to person who is paying you, right?" He apologized and put his head down! We gave him a hard time for a few days, but he did end up being a pretty decent worker lol
Was manager at a gas station. Fired an employee (E1) for selling cigarettes to an underage friend of his. One night, I'm at home and can't sleep. I have a gut feeling about something and could not stop the feeling. So I got dressed and went up to the store. Another employee (E2), was "working", but he was taking a rather long smoke break with the employees from the attach fastfood place, I walked right into the store without him knowing. I went to the office and started looking through security footage. E2 was hardly working his whole shift. I was about to go let him know he's getting written up for not working his shift. Right before I open the door, E1 walks into the store and grabs beer. E2 sells the beer to E1. I quickly check the employee records to make sure I was right that E1 is under age. I walked out to talk to E1 and E2. Both were shocked. I banned E1 from the store and fired E2. Always trust your gut 😅
Lol. I work at a dollar store and even after a year plus some, u still ask everyone for ID. Even my brother and my own son. I've memorized a few people's birthdays but I still check because the camera is always watching and I don't know when someone is watching the footage. I do make jokes about it with some of our regulars, tell them I'm making sure their date hasn't changed, but I still check.
@@lynneconklin917 Legitimate question but they actually let you sell stuff to your own family members? Every place I've ever worked at; if your family members come in you have to get someone else to do the transaction for you. So they can make sure you aren't giving them discounts or free items or anything.
@@lynneconklin917 Back when I was working at a 24 hour gas station, the law was that you had to have proof of age - didn't matter how old you were or looked. No proof, no sale. This was on tobacco products and alcohol. I carded EVERYBODY. My parents, cops, an very irate 80 year old man, ... everybody. The law was on a huge sticker at the register, and I pointed it out to anyone who complained. I wasn't goning to get arrested because they were too lazy. They could go to another place and get the same product, probably without getting carded, but that wasn't my problem. My boss there loved me because I was never caught in any of the stings for underage buyers, and I worked will with the police.
Our sonic had a girl who did spicy things as a side business, completely fine. What wasn't fine was she was caught on break doing those spicy things in the drive in part, where you order. She did not in fact wash her hands and no one at sonic wears gloves. She was shortly fired, but doesn't change the fact that she made food and served it to people after doing spicy things with a lady and a man in their car for all the customers to see. She really tried to deny it.. dude even the cameras caught it.
I heard this story from my manager at Sonic who heard it from the supervisor who witnessed this. This event took place very late /early morning at a rural 24 hr Sonic in the state I live in. The manager and the cook were having seggs on the prep table in the back of the kitchen. The Supervisor did an unannounced visit to the Sonic and caught them in mid act.
Sonic was my 1st job. I was a carhop and worked the soda fountain area. The ice-cream machine was the same. We cleaned it after hours and filled it to be ready the next day. Ok. This is so gross to me now but i was 15 when i started and didn't know better. I was taught to keep the soda from foaming over the sides of the cup to put my index finger in the cup to the 1st knuckle while filling the cup. No gloves. No one wore gloves ever. Me being in the soda area we had a sink and i washed my hands a lot. Sticky stuff when dried. The only 2 other sinks were the 1 in the bathroom and the 1 in the prep/freezer/storage area. The cooks didn't have 1. They just worked through the busy time wiping their hands on the same towel used by all of them for even their sweat. Its hot in there and your packed together. The towel would be put in bleach overnight, rinsed out in the morning then back in the kitchen for another day.
No, my first job should have been the one I kept for life! At the age of stupid sixteen I started work for a "manufacturing" jeweller.That means that he hand made EVERYTHING! An absolute professional with a well established business. He even made jewellery props for movies. I was kind of good with my hands and he began teaching me stuff. But I was late too often, and he gave me warnings, and finally sacked me after saying he would. How I wish I had not been an idiot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
People like that are usually willing to give another chance if you come back some time later and explain how you learned from your mistake and would really appreciate an opportunity to work for them again.
6:15 coming from a previous mcds worker, we are required by LAW to wear gloves, even if we aren’t handling the food, i think this girl is just lazy or it’s a different situation at the one she’s working at, but i swear on my mom that i’ve legitimately gotten a written warning about not wearing gloves over handing the bag to the customer
You are not required by law to wear gloves in a kitchen in literally any state. There is no law regulating glove wearing in kitchens. It is an FDA recommendation, but is not actually regulated. It's a company policy & is really only done in the US at all because we want the false sense of security it gives us that our food is more sanitary. It's a myth created by fast casual restaurants like Chipotle, Moe's & Subway, where people can literally see their food being prepared, to make them feel better about the fact that workers can't leave the line to wash their hands often enough to avoid cross contamination. I promise you, nobody in any closed restaurant kitchen is wearing gloves to prepare your food.
@@CraziestDiamonds I worked at Burger King at the UK and we didn't wear gloves but we did have the hand washing thingy...also gloves aren't always more sanitary because people pay less attention to how dirty their hands are or what they touch when they wear gloves
Honestly washing that milkshake machine at MCD was an absolutely the worst thing i had to do. I was the only one trained, and my manager would only "allow me" to do it on saturday evening an hour before close and also would make me cover the tills and close the front at the same time. I stole as much food from that place as i possibly and physically could 😂😂😂
Aww my heart hurts for Jerry. 😢 I really hope that he is doing better now and is able to be in his own home. I wish him all the best. He deserves it. ❤
*Charlotte, I'm 60, and I was homeless for awhile in Arizona...maybe 6 months. It was due to a corrupt state agency that was finally uncovered, but too late for the damage done to my family, me, and many other families. Then went back to NJ; I had to be homeless 5 months, in order to get a housing voucher. But I've worked from age 7 til the accident in my early 40's that messed up a foot, a wrist/hand, and did a number on my back/hips. But still get treated like I've contributed nothing, for being on Medicaid. I spent a decade as a Corrections officer in Az prisons, was a cook/baker for over a decade, plus various other jobs. But now folks are shocked I was homeless at one point. You cannot judge a book by it's cover, and unless you have a large network of family AND business connections, when something knocks you fully down, getting it all back is not feasible doing alone or with just a few helping now and then. I AM Jerry. I'm happy Jerry's intelligence and abilities are finally realized, acknowledged, and rewarded.*
Worst employees? HO HO HOLY shit, do I have a story. So I’m from a small town in Massachusetts and very blue collar based. Our community loves giving people as many job opportunities as they can. The city’s parks department had a job program for high schooler’s and college kids looking for a summer job. It was a pretty chill job. All we had to do was make sure the kids in the park had stuff to do, clean up any trash and operate the water area. My first year I worked there was the summer before my senior year. I had two girls I worked with, I’ll just use their initials. E and D. E was very friendly and kind to me . D, oh HOOOO D. I’ll just get to the point. This girl was a bitch. She pretended to be nice to me when she really just made fun of me because of my autism. E tried to stand up for me, but I also don’t blame her for giving up because D was so relentless. It also didn’t help that I got catfished at the time and my nudes leaked. And everyone I went to school with saw them. Including my coworkers. She spent the rest of the summer making fun of my… size, and called me “Little Pepee.” She even took a lighter and melted the buttons on my DS while I was in the bathroom. Pretty much ruining it because it also stopped the battery from charging. But thankfully, she fucked up😏. You see, D decided to be an idiot, which is 24/7 for her, and roll up some, as me and my musician friends call it, jazz cabbage during our shift. In a public park in front of children. Apparently someone noticed, reported her, and my boss promptly fired her entitled obnoxious ass. I’ve now just graduated from college with my associates in music after 6 years of studying jazz guitar and I’m feeling pretty good about where I am in life rn. Last time I saw her, she was working at Wendy’s. And she had to take my order. HAHAHAHA how the universe can give you a win now and again.
Some well deserved Schadenfreude! It's nice when we actually get to see bad people get some comeuppance. This video is reminding me of so many characters I've worked with over the years. By far, the dumbest was back in the mid 1980s. I worked as an assistant designer at a high-end childrens' clothing company. Our clothes were sold at Neiman Marcus, Nordstroms, Macy's, etc. I handled ordering supplies to make buyers' samples, did line drawings for our catalogues, coordinated work between the sample room and production, fixed mistakes in patterns and changed some design elements to make manufacturing more cost effective... a little bit of everything. I had worked before as a professional tailor, so I understood clothing construction well. I was assistant to 3 designers and needed some help, so the boss hired a first year college student who was majoring in "marketing". She's very beautiful, and that year she was a runner-up in the Miss Texas beauty pageant. She was sweet, likable, but had zero common sense. She was used to others doing everything for her and she could barely read. She reminded me of a golden retriever puppy, very cute and likable but always getting herself in dangerous trouble! One day, she was doing some filing and had all three lower drawers pulled out on the filing cabinet, She was just pulling the top drawer out as I was running towards her, yelling "NOOOO!" I threw my shoulder against the front of the cabinet just before it would have fallen on her. It had become my full time job to protect her from herself! I never said anything because I didn't want her to be fired, but she was fired the next day. Why? Because she did the exact same thing with the filing cabinet drawers the next day, but right in front of the boss who knew she had done this same thing a day before but obviously learned nothing from the experience. She was only there for 3 months, but managed to total two expensive cars her parents bought for her. Her parents were filthy rich, she's gorgeous, so I imagine her life went smoothly. She's probably married to some billionaire friend of her rich daddy's. I just hope she's happy and safe. She really was a nice person.
I worked at burger king a long time ago. The hands thing is normal. The time went off every thirty minutes and people were pretty good about hand washing. Then they tried to introduce wearing gloves and quickly discarded that when it was noticed that people never changed gloves when switching from different activities. For example, someone would be making whoppers and need something from the walk in. They'd touch the door knob, the shelves , anything that was in the way and come back and continue making food wearing the same gloves. Someone would be changing the trash and next thing you know they are back on the whopper board with the SAME GLOVES.
@@TraceyBoyland A Subway staff member argued with me about the gloves before when I was a customer. I was vegetarian at the time but if meat touches my meal I could tell because it makes me sick. I've been vegetarian since 2006 and vegan for a few years now. So my body can't digest meat anymore. The Subway had a line and they were trying to speed through everyone quickly but they weren't changing their gloves in between. So they were mixing everything; touching meat, veggies, bottles, reusing the same knives for every sandwich without washing it in between, etc. The person ahead of me had every type of meat in their sub and the person went to make my sub afterward. I asked them nicely if they could please change their gloves before making my sub and explained that it would make me sick if they didn't and they started arguing with me about it. I said you just touched most of the meat products from their sandwich before touching everything else. They argued saying they don't if it's too busy, it wasn't a big deal, etc. But they reluctantly changed them, made my sub, then practically threw it at the person ringing everything up. If I was by myself I would have just left but I was there with my family who were ordering their subs after me. After that incident, though, if I ever went to Subway, it was when they first opened so I knew everything was freshly prepped and not mixed with other stuff. But I eventually stopped going there altogether. I get being pressed for time with working with food preparation jobs but you shouldn't argue with someone telling you they have a food sensitivity or allergy. As soon as they bring you a restriction you either comply if you can or let them politely know you cannot oblige with their request. Their arguing with me made them take even more time since that was their excuse in the first place.
I worked at bk, and with a science teacher as a mother, I did my absolute best to maintain proper hand hygiene and glove discipline--and i can tell you it was hard. I tried my best to keep up with the discipline. But it was STRESSFUL. The fast pace understaffed environment is absolutely NOT conducive to maintain proper food safety and hand higene standards. So now, I know when I'm eating out, my life is in the Lords hands. Because crosscontamination among a staff of minimum wage understaffed workers is garunteed.
It's been terrible since they introduced glove wearing here. People handle food and cash wearing the same gloves. They don't wash between glove changes. It's disgusting. I worked fast food for 8 years before gloves were introduced, and our hands were way cleaner than the gloves that people use now are.
I worked fast-food back in the day before " Employees Must Wash Their Hands Before Returning To Work" signs started showing up in bathrooms of restaurants. Those signs to this day still cringey creeps me out because I thought EVERYONE knew this by the time they were potty trained. The fact that things like signs that cost the company money never happens unless there is a reason that cost them money. If you think about that at all you will be as cringey & creeped out as I have been for decades.😲😲😲😫😫
Charlotte, I know this is an old video, but whenever I clean, cook, do laundry, yard work, I’m most likely listening to you. I have a 5 and a 3 year old with me most the day (a 12 year old but she’s always out), my girls know who you are. While I’m doing dishes, which honestly feels like it’s 4 hours a day total, or folding laundry, they say “Oh! It’s Charlotte!” They are very sweet and don’t go crazy so I can listen. ❤❤ Honestly you’re my one favorite UA-camr I can’t get sick of, thank you
Let’s use our brains for a second. If you had a 50%off staff discount and you got $4000 worth of sexy hotdogs for $2000….you go home and you sell it all for $4000. She likely didn’t keep it all for herself.
You buy full price sexy hot dogs from people and not from a shop? If I am buying a product from the back of someone's car, I am not paying full retail prices.
@@ericwilliams1659Amen I know quite a few "boosters" Anything they sell will go for half-price maybe even less.15 + years ago, when my now grown sons were little I use to give people my sons shoe and clothing sizes & would pay like $200, $400 for 7 outfits each + 3 new pairs of shoes for 3 kids I kid you not she would have EVERYTHING on that list within 2 days. Sometimes I'd only have to give her $200 or $300 for all of this stuff just depending on how hard up she was for $. Not seen Swiping Sue in years, but I hear she's still out here doing her thing, and almost 70 they said she would take wire cutters with her.
The allergy story got me 😮 I worked at a restaurant for several years and when a colleague brought out some bread and dips for us to snack I thought she had put on some chilli aioli along. It was the peanut dip which also had chilli in it. I had to end my shift early and my colleague who was holding my hair back while I was emptying my stomach had to call my husband to take me to the er. Fun times. I'm always very keen to check with people's allergies. Please everyone do the same.
I had one of those girls when I was a caterer. She didn’t think she had to refill glasses because they weren’t empty yet. They would be down to ice and she’d still refuse to refill until they were empty. She was super slow with clearing and cleaning. Finally one of the managers had enough and made her stay late to clean with the last group. She whined and complained so much that she quit. 😂
I worked at a really nice restaurant as a service assistant basically delivering food to tables, clearing dishes and refilling water glasses. You best believe those glasses never got empty on my shift, most of the time the glasses never made it below half
Was that their first day of work?! They didn't even know their boss and they were talking about him?! What could they possibly have to say? Nothing, except complain about having to work. Lazy pricks! 9:47
The last job I worked was because a friend of mine had said they were really hurting for help, it was as a kitchen aid so I was like well I can make it work …and I did! I never took any breaks and sometimes I would even skip lunch because if it was a rush time, I wasn’t going to abandon everyone. If I didn’t have time to eat, I didn’t have time to eat no biggy whatever. Eventually I fell into a routine, I would get all of my work done and then have free time to do whatever or help people out if they needed me to. But for some reason, a coworker took total issue with this, and never told me about it. She acted like we were friends and we got along fine. We talked about our kids, and generally just life and whatever. Then one day I clocked out but before I left, I had gone into the bathroom. She must’ve thought I left though because I could hear her talking crap about me to the new hire saying how slow I was saying how she always has to jump all over me to get me to do my job saying how I’m just such a space case and calling me names … Sooooo, I quit that day! I walked out of that bathroom and put in my two week notice, because if they didn’t need me and I was such a burden on her then why am I even bothering. I could be at home with my kids? I didn’t have to have a job. I was a stay at home mom, I took the job because I was under the assumption that they needed help … But according to her, I was just making more work and making it harder for everyone overall and that I was just a burden 🙄… So the solution was simple, and I said ✌️☺️ peace out bean sprout! I don’t need to be treated like garbage by anyone, least of all high and mighty cook, that thought she was above everyone else, because of her position in the kitchen.🤷🏻♀️
As someone who worked at a different fast food place before and after gloves were forced personally I would prefer it with hands on many cases because people are more likely to wash their bare hands than they are to wash their hands and change their gloves. I literally saw some people try to wear the same pair of gloves THE ENTIRE DAY! Or they might just wash their hands with the gloves still on. I saw people so far more gross things with gloves than without them and I worked there longer before the glove rule got implemented. I don’t know about anyone else but if people aren’t following sanitary codes for their own personal hands they aren’t going to do it when gloves are involved either. I myself am more likely to touch things with gloves on that I wouldn’t just touch with my bare hands. Now don’t get me wrong gloves are a great PPE tool but that’s only if people use them the correct way and the majority of people don’t. The same thing is true when people were using gloves in public after Covid happened things like masks and gloves are only protecting people if the people using them use them right!!
Used to work in a Deli at my grocery store (changed departments), The amount of times I've had to slap utensils out of coworkers hands, jump in front of them, throw fresh gloves at them, or snatch cut meat from their hands before they served it just to save the customer is astounding. They would drop a utensil, and pick it right back up and try to serve the customer with it IN FRONT OF THE CUSTOMER. I would fly over there and smack the spoon out of their hand before they could dip it in the food, ordering them to get a fresh spoon. They would pick their nose, cough, and generally touch themselves before touching food in front of the customer. And the customer would take the food, but then put it back on the counter and leave due to witnessing that. Now these ppl would talk absolute shit about me, that I was bossy, annoying, and mean. But I'll take that as I was only being that way towards those specific ppl to protect the customers. Thankfully they'd each find their own demise at the job, one was caught stealing from the cash register. Another had been so disgusting in front of customers, including the managers, that they picked a bullshit reason to fire her (over a coffee cup- which is FREE to employees but they needed an excuse and no one did jack to stop them bc tho she was sweet she was just unsanitary). Not to mention allergies too, I would always make sure those with allergens were safe by completely sanitizing what was needed for their order no matter how much it held up the line. They're all still unhappy I changed departments, and no one I worked with could stand being there without me so they all followed suite. Even the customers come to me saying, "I don't feel safe getting my food there since you left that department," and I'm like, "I know, I'm sorry." Every time I have to visit that part of the store I see them just dicking around and our orders aren't done bc they just don't care and don't want to work, but then complain that everything is backed up specifically bc they dicked around til it was time. But there were also moments I had to protect my coworkers, you'd be surprised just how many incel ppl, or just perverts in general, get off on subjugating women, by abusing them mentally and emotionally. Who would say things like, "I can get you fired" with a sneer. Our girls would run into the freezer and cry. They would cause messes and order our girls to get down and clean it so they could watch and berate them with a smile. So whenever I saw it happening I would take over for them. Our girls were also sexually harassed by ppl of all ages, and we got those perpetrators banned too. Some of them even got punched in the face, which was worth the suspension.
I have seen that first story happen in-person. The girl had handed in her notice add a cheap variety store and they had cancelled her staff discount straight away. She had her mother with her and two shopping carts full of merchandise. I saw it all because unfortunately I was so sucker standing behind her in line. I'm not sure how it ended. But if they're going to cancel staff discounts when they hand in notice, that needs to be stated when they start. I doubt it was 50% though. I owned a mobile phone store and I sold products to my staff at cost price which also included GST - goods and services tax. But my staff were all decent, I let one use one of the shop sim cards as well. In her discounted phone belonging to her! Because she was totally honest and trustworthy.
Whole time while he's talking.. I'm saying "oh please help Jerry. Help the one who's trying his best to help himself" $13 an hour 7 YEARS AGO to put flyers up. 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ Too many people ruin such genuine; good things for E'ERYBODY ELSE. 😢😢
Yeah 13 an hour for fliers isn't bad at all 7 years ago. It still wasn't technically a living wage but it was a lot closer than most paid. Though where it was at would devalue or increase the value of the pay. Like that isn't a living wage in Seattle but it may have been in the small town I lived it.
@@marlenef777 Same. I was hoping he paid him more or became a vigilante and grabbed his money back from the other two and gave it to Jerry instead. Or that he helped him find affordable housing to be more realistic lol *Just wait a second while I turn into Batman XD
Ive always put 100% into what my job was. I had a job cleaning apartments after people moved out. Some were DISGUSTING. I had to pull out every appliance and clean behind them. I did that every time. I was proud of how each place was clean and ready for a new person to move in. I don't miss it though. 😂
9:20 I'm sure the boss didn't enjoy hearing 3hrs of his employees bash him! My dad called me once & didn't hang up so my phone recorded 6 minutes of my parents bashing me... IDK how long they talked about me; thankfully my phone only recorded the 1st 6mins. It was heartbreaking 💔 i couldn't listen to the whole thing but it lived in my brain for a LONG time! When I confronted them about it, the 1st thing my mom said was 'didn't you hear me ask if he hung up?'
As for working at McDonald's back in 2013 it's true. The machine is never broken, it's just easier for us to tell that to customers then to tell them it's locked. Bc then so many of will yell and would want an exclamation as to why it's locked. So to stop an argument from happening we say it's broken.
there's a garfield comic about that, my fav one ever. 3 panels of jon watching garfield walk back and forth carrying boards and hammer and stuff, banging off (screen?) panel. jon finally checks on the noise and garfield has nailed his tv to the ceiling so he can lay on his back in bed and watch tv. jon just says "ive never seen anyone work so hard to be lazy" i laughed way too hard and remember that comic over a decade later lol
That walking time bomb of a waitress was the responsibility of the front house manager and the general manager! The chef has nothing to do with it unless this restaurant is the only in the world structured this way...A lot of management can't do their jobs to the fullest, which includes firing. I know because I was a GM for over twenty years! I would be sent to locations in order to get them back into compliance because their management team couldn't do the job...
I've worked some really terrible hospitality jobs with really horrible bosses and coworkers at a time when just leaving and going elsewhere wasn't an option. Never, ever again. I've lived in my car once, I'll do it again. Stories like these just reinforce it.
Same!! I've been self employed for 17 years because of the horrible horrible people I worked for and with. I always say, I'd rather live in my car than work for someone else.
@@DawnKellyMedia I just left my job in housekeeping this summer because the work environment took a turn for the awful after all the upper management changed. I've been doing private cabin cleaning and I still have no idea what I'm going to do this winter but at least I've got something going for me for now. I'll figure it out.
I met my man while we worked together. Loved him to bits for 2 years from a distance. When I had turned in my notice was when we finally started dating. Together 8 years now. You can MEET your soul mate at work, but don't date them while you work together. If it's real, it's worth waiting for. Now, I don't know how this applies to lifer careers where neither of you is leaving until you retire, that's a different story.
I worked in a bakery kitchen. Only gloves were worn when either the finishers were girls who didn't want their nails dirty, or when we had cuts on our hands. Washed hands are clean unless open cuts are present. Gloves are really only used in cafeteria settings where people are handling ready to eat food and money... the gloves are thrown out after every serving in that case.
Not true. You need to wear gloves when handling raw foods in the restaurant I work at. On the off chance someone has tiny cuts they didn't notice, it's so we don't get pathogens and dirt in it. When I was in culinary school, same deal: gloves at all times unless cutting RTE food or for delicate tasks like shucking oysters where you don't want vinyl in the food
@@HighAsHeckPriestessmaybe not true where you worked but it's literally not a rule everywhere! We were taught during food hygiene courses that gloves do not need to be worn at all times because Yr more likley to cross contaminate while wearing gloves than not and just washing your hands regularly
@@kaydelahunty3789 Yes! I've seen so many people cross contaminate with gloves on and it really grosses me out. A common way is they'll handle money, then handle the food without changing gloves- yuck! It's like it gives them a false sense of security, thinking they're being sanitary just because they're wearing gloves.
I know the whole Jerry debacle took place several years ago, and OP probably lost contact with Jerry since then, but I hope Jerry's doing ok, and that he's found a good job and a better living situation. He deserves that. JUSTICE FOR JERRY!!!
Mad respect to anyone who works with food. Keeping track of what is what to not kill people (and actually caring about it) is hard. A thousand songs of praises for you all.
Clean hands are WAY more sanitary than gloves. I bought my kid a hot dog once from a kart. The lady took my money, gloves on, then reached in & grabbed a bun. I told her, and I'll paraphrase "ABSOLUTELY NOT!" She said "i have gloves on. I pointed out that she just touched money and her register box and didn't change gloves. She actualky could not grasp what the hell i was talking about. She ended up telling me she puts a pair of gloves on at the start ofthe day, then maybe new ones if she takes a break and goes to the restroom. Instead of being the smartest idiot, she was just an idiot.
The server in the final story nearly kills people, but the boss "omg she strokes my ego and all that, we must keep this gem." That manager was asking for a mutiny.
The McDonald's one is hilarious to me cause my parents started dating while working there. My mom was 16, and the fry girl and my dad was the manager. Now, my parents had a horrible relationship, and my brother and I were so happy when they divorced. So maybe it's not the best place to find a lifelong partner, haha!
Funny enough I met my son's dad working at McDonald's and that didn't last either 😅 my son is now 6 and I haven't been with his dad since he was about a year and a half. He's such a pain in the back side 😂😂 12 more years and I won't have to have much to do with him 😅 but who is counting? 🤷♀️
I just had to look this one up especially after watching Johnny Harris’s exposè YT video . Taylor, McDonald’s ice cream machine supplier was in cahoots with McDonald’s and was sued by a different company that provided franchisors with a way to fix their “broken” machines themselves instead of being to being force to wait on and pay for repairs which McDonald’s and Taylor were profiting from. McDonald’s and Taylor told lies about this company and tried to copy/steal their software. And yes, they both absolutely deserved to be sued 🤡
No they didnt, A very different company sued taylor ( the company that makes the machines and actually programmed them to break down so that they can repair for a big fee) The company that is sueing just made a device so that restaurants can fix the machinese themself
Pro McD’s employee tip…ask for light salt or no salt on your fries, and you’ll get fries fresh from the frier. If you ask for light or no seasoning on your meat, you’ll get a fresh from the grill beef patty. This is something I do to this day even though I haven’t worked there in over a decade.
I'm assuming since she was leaving she needed another method of income, so selling "sexy hotdogs" for under price (but still more than 50%) would give her a nice 25% profit income while she won that casino money haha
Sometimes people buy them for more than the original price as well/ or bid on them. Some people are into that XD She could also use them as a tax write-off if she needed them for a side job lol
@@maurer3d I don't know if she actually did but I've heard of people getting a lot for selling them. You are correct, that is what I was trying to say without saying XD
Charlotte you are adorable. Your amazing sense of humour helped me in my worst days. And your opinions inspired me too many times. You are like the sun that's here every and makes everything better. Thank you.♥️
I think more than a million of us agree. Charlotte is the daily spot of sunshine that we need! To the person who has children watching, I've never heard Charlotte say anything profane, she has funny ways of talking to the adults that the kids won't get until years later. What a treat for that 6 year old when the lightbulb goes off when she's older and realizes what a "sexy hotdog" is! That happened to me. One Xmas in the mid-1960s when I was about five, my rather naive dad gave our Mom a "neck massager" that was pink, cylindrical, like a long bullet with variable speed vibration. Mom had terrible arthritis in her neck, so when Dad saw this box with a lady holding this instrument next to her face with a big happy smile, he knew it was just what Momma needed for her neck pain! My big sisters were in their 20s, and when Mom unwrapped that gift, they went into hysterics and had to leave the room. Momma turned bright red, Dad was still clueless but Mom said they'd discuss it later. I never forgot that mysterious episode, but it was about 10 years later when I figured it out and laughed my butt off! My dad was a brilliant engineer and scientist but when it came to human sexuality and pop culture, he was a Sweet Summer Child, and I love that about him! Oh, I didn't see Momma's "neck massager" again until after she died. She kept it in her nightstand. Poor Momma was really plagued with neck pain! Bless her heart!
At the market at U of A it was way worse. Some guy was getting fired so he sold EVERYTHING in the store for 1 penny each. The store was EMPTY by the end of the day and he left. There should still be a news article about it somewhere.
13:28 I really thought that that Jerry story was going to end better. The boss went on and on seemingly building up about him and then nothing. I was really hoping to hear something like he had promoted him, helped him out in some way. Is it just me? Like, it really sounded like it. If not, why share all this about how he was that good of a person and didnt deserve all that. Idk. Maybe its just me but i really hope someone out there helped Jerry.
As someone with a DEADLY food allergy, that last server scares the SCHEISSE out of me! Just having my allergen at the table is enough to set off a reaction. I have to be SOOO careful.
First girl was 1000% selling that product on the side. I worked at a small pet store once and most of the product was really expensive, the type of place that people with more money than sense shop at, but one of the employee perks was getting everything at cost so we could get HIGH quality food/supplies for next to nothing. One girl was buying things and then turning around and selling it to people through Facebook for a profit. Even though the rest of us thought she was sus, the owner only finally fired her when she bought a bunch of cat food and she didn't own a cat.
Being as I worked at McDonald's several times before, I can confirm that 90% of the time, the ice cream machine is not broken. It's just that we mainly run out of mix for the ice cream and shakes. Cause it's actually uses the same mix for both and we often don't get enough mix for the week. S, I can confirm, it's not that it's broken. It's mainly because 90% of the time, we have no mix.
I worked in an adult store for a year. BEST JOB EVER! My bosses had a dog and they often bring her to the store. Sexy hot dogs are usually sold in a box, first a all, second, a normal person cleans their sexy hotdog before using it and last, the dog mostly stayed in the backstore. And she was also useful to scare away all the p3rvs looking for way more than sexy hotdogs and fl3shlights ;)
I'm thinking that I'd probably enjoy working at an adult store. I'm a grey-haired old lady with a weird sense of humor, not easily embarrassed, and the filter on my mouth stopped working long ago. I would imagine it's an interesting place to work, and every day is different! My favorite job ever also had a shop dog, owned by my bosses. One day, my cat (who loved car rides) stowed away in my back seat and I drove all the way to work before I discovered him. I was 30 miles from home, so asked my bosses if I could take him back home and work extra to make up for it. They had met "Spaz" before and loved him. He was a big chill tomcat and very friendly. They insisted on letting him stay and see how it worked out. I went next door to 7 Eleven and bought cat litter and food, made a litterbox out of the box top from a case of paper (we were a print shop). Spaz had never been around a dog before, so that was the big test. Could he get along with Miss Foo, the owners' precious Pekingese Princess? He walked up and licked the pup on the head, the dog flopped on her back, asking for belly rubs. They were instant BFFs so Spaz became a regular at work. Some customers would stop by just to visit those two. We never had any problems because of them.
@@LazyIRanch so nice of your boss to let your cat stay! And if you have the chance at working in an adult store, do it! There's nothing wrong in selling some fun and happiness ;D tbh id do it again, and my boss asked mme to come back but i moved too far away sadly
Yes! Thank you! People have pets in stores all the time. I'm not defending this girl or her behavior, she should have asked first and when they said no, then that's that. But the argument kinda didn't hold up. They don't have sexy hot dogs open and laying around the store. lol. And what if someone has a service dog? Just say we don't allow pets because it's our policy.
OMG! Auntie Charlotte is so incredibly adorable 🥰 Love that for you! Little bestie needs customized merch “I learned everything I need to know from my Auntie Charlotte: -Stay Petty -Move In The Shadows -I Am Worthy To Not Be Pleasing The Peoples Best Auntie In The World!” Honestly, I might need this merch too 😂😂😂
I love Charlotte. Honestly just seems like a girl who be just the coolest friend to have and laugh with. I watch these videos everyday as I work from home. I just adore the fact Charlotte and reacts exactly how I would to these crazy stories with just screaming and being her goofy self. Thank you for making these and being our Petty Judge and Jury Queen. 💖💖
By condoning bad behavior YOU'RE PERPETUATING A CYCLE. Had that restaurant been sued... their lack of personal responsibility made them more than liable. 🤦♀️ Thank you, Charlotte.

That's why here in Finland (and in EU areas in general) we have very strict regulations, including hygiene issues in all restaurants, including fast food. Welcome to enjoy McDonald's here, safely.
I had a co worker in a pizza place and she was a delivery driver but didnt have her driver's license and her mom would drive her around to deliver pizzas until the owner took her in as a charity case and bought an electric bike for her. I had to re deliver sooooo many pizzas because she fell off the bike ruining the pizza smh
Mad respect for those brave enough to work at a fast food place. BOOMER STORYTIME. My junior high in the mid 1960s (back in the day they were junior high, grades 7-9. It should still be that way IMO) was about 30 yards from a Burger Chef (before McDonalds came to town, but basically the same thing) so you can imagine what it was like when the dismissal bell rang. It was standing room only, wall to wall hormonal, pre and pubescent heathens. 15 cent cheeseburgers, 10 cent fries, 5 cent cokes. Five days a week those workers dealt with our shit. Any fight that was going to take place? “I’ll see YOU behind Burger Chef after school”. And my mom would come driving up in her Lime Gold ‘67 Mustang- which is still in the family🫶- with our goofy Irish Setter hanging out of the window. I would always have to buy two plain burgers for the dog before going out to the car🤦♀️ damn we had a great childhood. I feel sad for kids today because they don’t have the freedoms we enjoyed.
I know of one dude who was permanently banned from our local McDonald's and that was because he (a teenager at the time) crawled into the outdoor playhouse/slide and got himself stuck between the slide and the metal exoskeleton and clear plastic sides of the structure, so the police and fire department had to come and cut him out like the dumb Ken doll he was 😂
The ice cream machines are also proprietary and support is only handled through a single channel. And diagnosing and troubleshooting the machines causes huge issues. There was a company that reverse engineered their system and came up with a tool that would interface with the machines and made diagnosing the machines avail to other support teams. McDonald’s and the company that did the ice cream machines system conspired to take that company down. Is an interesting read
My uncle once sent his new co-driver (huge 18-wheelers, transport across Europe) to the ATM to get 300 Euro in cash, the guy came back a couple of minutes later saying that the only options were 100 and 200, and no 300, which should he choose 🤣
That is kinda a point tho. It may be totally stupid depending on the system and the way that it is managed, if it's just a few people then it's easy to keep track of the amount of withdrawals and the amount of cash total. I work for a decently sized company and I work with a guy with memory issues and he sometimes forgets to give change. Management come down a lot because they can see how many transactions we do against the amount of times the drawer is opened and his rarely adds up due to the amount of no sale openings for when he is reminded for change.
I had a coworker who brought in bouquets to give everyone the day our store closed. I'm very allergic to flowers, which was a well known fact, went into anaphylactic shock, and had to leave via ambulance.
Yeah, people think its funny.. hardy ha ha...when they are playing with your life🤨 Speaking from experience unfortunately but your body can only take so many 'hits' before you start paying for all your 'saviours'. 🤕
@@NekoKuro-il8rz I mean, not really since the store was closing. But I'm pretty sure it got added into their work file, so I guess that's gonna follow them. I also got to send them the medical bill since they were technically responsible, so there was that too. But I didn't press any charges, just didn't want to have to deal with that.

We did enjoy that story about the three guys and Jerry doing all the work! Like to find out where that Jerry guy is, so we could see if we could get him more work!
You could have 10 years in restaurants and managers will often choose a beginner. It happened with me at a coffee shop, they said they get sick of hiring people who keep wanting to do things their way. It’s easier to train a beginner than to retrain someone with old habits who thinks they know better ❤
Back when I worked retail, I was wondering why after I started I never saw the guy that worked in my department. We had an overlap of hours so I definitely should have been seeing him more. One day I caught him coming up the back stairwell and acting shady. So instead of trying to keep up the whole work load myself, and getting reamed for not being able to keep up both of our duties, I asked the security at the store to review the tapes. Yeaaaaaa he was immediately fired. He’d clock in, work a few hours until I got there, and would leave out the back stairwell to the mall shopping center, coming back to when he had to clock out. Sorry not sorry!
I'm in the suburb where the crash with the yellow car happened. The photo used in the clip was posted to our suburb facebook group asking if anyone knew her. Glad she found out who damaged her car.
100% about a honest day's work. When my kids first wanted to get jobs that's basically the speech I gave them: when you get a job, you make an agreement that for X amount of money, you will perform whatever the job is they are asking you to do, and therefore, you are morally obligated to do your very best. If at some time, you ever feel like you do not like the bargain you have made, you have the option of renegotiating with your employer, or leaving the position. You do NOT have the option of not doing the job to the best of your ability and also taking someone's money. That is stealing.
As someone who works at McDonalds and always gets yelled at over the Ice Cream machine, I was so nervous when she said that the machine was never actually broke. Though, I'm happy that she continued to then explain that it was really down and unusable. Somone from my store made a similar TikTok and lied in it, and it caused all kinds of issues just from the people who knew her personally who had seen it. {We live in a fairly small city and get most of our business from people who live there or from the small town about a ten minute drive away} Though I also want to know what city she's in because we use gloves on table {food prep station} consistently. We have the same handwash timer, obviously, but everyone uses gloves for any food handling.
Yeah it is far easier to say "It's Broken", then to say "It is down for maintenance", because once you say maintenance, people will assume it will be up and running in a few minutes, when actual maintenance on those machine s takes a few hours minimum.
Ages ago between jobs I spent a year working at McD's. It was no where near as bad as said here. No gangs, we wore gloves, mostly middle aged men in the kitchen. Young girls up front. The only drama was the gay rotund manager who cut my hours in half, kept me on welfare then fired me the instant I told him I found another job. I stayed at that job 14 years until I retired.
The leaflet distribution guy should have told the guys he knew what they had been up to and what they said,so they wouldn’t be getting paid,but since Jerry did all the work,he would get their wages!
The McD's gall talking about everyone sleeping with everyone and then throwing in dog lover... Do I dare ask someone to define what kind of dog lover we are talking about?
Jerry, you the man! ❤ Seriously, considering his age, he was probably an investment banker in the 80s and a lot of them got hit hard during that time. That’s probably when he lost his job, then his home and family and just couldn’t recover after that. Poor guy… You know, so many kids today have no idea what it means to do an honest day’s work. My husband and I are 50, his father was always a hard worker and my mom worked really hard at crappy jobs after her divorce to support my sister and I. We both knew, no matter what job you had, you worked when you were there. That’s what they pay you for, to do your job, so do it to the best of your ability. That’s what our kids saw. My husband worked a full and part time job while they were growing up and I worked part time at different jobs. Even the one that stressed me out so bad I came home venting and thought I was going to stroke out one day, I still went… Now they’re adults. They work the same way. My youngest is 20 and started working at the local diner right before he turned 15. By the time they closed (which was about 10 months ago now) he was literally running the show. He knew things none of the other employees knew about the inner workings, he paid vendors… He was literally doing things only the owner would have done because the guy trusted my son so much. And he was only 19 at the time. He was damn good at his job. That’s how it should be no matter what you’re doing. I hope Jerry got back on his feet and is living in a nice apartment somewhere with a great job, maybe a cat, even a girlfriend 😊 Go Jerry! You’re awesome!
I sure hope Jerry is doing better and he's not homeless anymore. 😢 Our prayers and thoughts are with you, Jerry! ❤
Yes. Amen

I hope Jerry was given the pay of the other 2 employees. He deserves triple for doing thrice the work.
@@jakemarie828 amen to that. He deserves all the pay the other two wouldn't do so he wouldn't be homeless and not go hungry.
Can we all stop and please spare a kind thought/prayer for Jerry and so many others like him who got knocked down by a run of bad luck? And maybe remember to have grace when dealing with people dealing with housing insecurity? A person without a home is still a *person.* ❤
Well said! I actually hired a homeless man when I had my painting company and he was the absolute best worker I ever had!
I sold my business and he is now their manager and doing great! Don't judge people, sometimes people just end up in a bad place and it only takes one person and kindness to change that for them forever! Jerry my man, I hope this was your first step to a new life ❤
I remember working beside a woman who would come in at 9am and instead of starting work, she would use the company phone to call her sister in New Zealand. Obviously, these calls were really expensive and she was eventually challenged about them. Instead of being apologetic, she was outraged that the cost of the calls was deducted from her wages.

As someone who is allergic to shellfish, the last story is an example of why I absolutely refuse to go to a seafood restaurant. I've had friends and coworkers who've said the restaurant can prepare something separately and so on.

LET'S APPLAUD *JERRY* FOR HIS HUMBLENESS!
My husband and I own a business. We had an employee who we had to let go because he was taking plumbing parts from our inventory without signing them out and then using them to moonlight. A couple of weeks later we got a call from the police letting us know that the ex employee was driving a vehicle with one of our company vehicle license plates. He'd stolen it from one of the parked spare vans out back. Cops went to his house and found over $10,000 worth of our inventory in his garage. Talk about being robbed blind!
Please tell me he's in jail
Wow the nerve of people I hope you prosecuted him to the fullest
is he in jail, please tell me he went to jail
Wow.. My friend owns a meat market.. he found it a young guy was stealing meat & selling it to people in the neighborhood..
So he took him for a long drive. Managed to get his sneakers from him, then left him there to walk back! Bahahaha. Karma is a BITCH..
Wow sadly this happens in the trades a lot, even in the unions
I don't understand why these 2 idiots were talking smack about their boss when it's their first day. It's amazing how ungrateful people are. I absolutely abhor not being able to work right now because of my panic disorder. I can't even go to Subway and get something to eat there. I worked there for a year and a half. I've only gone there 1 time to get something to eat since I left there almost 3 years ago. I saw the owner about 2 months ago. He of course understands my situation and he said I can go back and work for him if I'm ever ready again. It's been 3 years. Be grateful for the job your in.
Being grateful and not liking the job or management can both be true. You can love and enjoy your job while hating aspects of it.
agree
True
@@HighAsHeckPriestessfor sure. But these guys just met him. What can you possibly have to say for over 3 hours?
Yeah, on top of that they were getting paid fairly well, $13 an hour was almost double minimum wage 8 (corrected from 13) years ago (in most states) and still is.
Jerry seems to be a standup guy . At 62 years not taking any handouts still working with integrity . The other two guys what to say of them when a former investment banker was doing their jobs for them .
McDonald's ice cream machine never being actually broken is 100% true. I worked there all through highschool and my mom was (and still is) the store manager of that location. She runs a tight ship, and has won a lot of big awards from the company. Our ice cream machine is almost never down. As long as they are properly maintained, they'll run forever.
Yeah I worked at a Wendy's & the frosty machine is similar. Of you don't get new mix in before it's totally out it takes so long to get it frozen & running. We had 2 machines so hopefully there was always 1 working but sometimes kids would be flipping pickles onto the ceiling or shrinking plastic lids in the fryer vat (yeah it's like shrinky drinks, but I still wonder how it affected the oil) and it wouldn't get done. They say it's broken bc if they told the truth people insisted on sitting at the drive thru window until it was ready. And the store is rated based on "service times." There was typically a manager walking around "encouraging " you to get the food out, while shouring & clapping his hands lol, and then saying things like "if you have time to lean, you have time to clean."
3:32 Depends on the variety. For a plain vanilla one, that would be pretty ridiculous, but after a quick search on one adult store's website, I found a variety of "sexy hotdog" that normally costs $150 (currently discounted to $119). At full price, only 27 would need to be purchased to reach $4,000. For a group of 20 people that would be one each, plus an second one for some if they were into doubling up on them.
Jerry sounds like a gem going through hard times. I hope he's doing better. Sad about his so called family. I hope he's found steady employment & isn't homeless. 💚❤️😢
My husband and I used to own a sod installation business. One of the guys we hired didn't realize that me and my husband were the ones paying him. He thought the people who ran the sod farm were the ones paying. On his first day of work he says to me "We should just work really slow so that we get paid for more hours" 🤦🏻♀️ I said "You mean milking the clock? You realize you're talking to person who is paying you, right?" He apologized and put his head down! We gave him a hard time for a few days, but he did end up being a pretty decent worker lol

Was manager at a gas station. Fired an employee (E1) for selling cigarettes to an underage friend of his. One night, I'm at home and can't sleep. I have a gut feeling about something and could not stop the feeling. So I got dressed and went up to the store. Another employee (E2), was "working", but he was taking a rather long smoke break with the employees from the attach fastfood place, I walked right into the store without him knowing. I went to the office and started looking through security footage. E2 was hardly working his whole shift. I was about to go let him know he's getting written up for not working his shift. Right before I open the door, E1 walks into the store and grabs beer. E2 sells the beer to E1. I quickly check the employee records to make sure I was right that E1 is under age. I walked out to talk to E1 and E2. Both were shocked. I banned E1 from the store and fired E2.
Always trust your gut 😅

I do make jokes about it with some of our regulars, tell them I'm making sure their date hasn't changed, but I still check.
@@lynneconklin917 Legitimate question but they actually let you sell stuff to your own family members? Every place I've ever worked at; if your family members come in you have to get someone else to do the transaction for you. So they can make sure you aren't giving them discounts or free items or anything.
@@deadsetondreams1988 It depends on the company, some companies allow it, some don't, and some leave it up to the manager to decide.
You have no life...
@@lynneconklin917 Back when I was working at a 24 hour gas station, the law was that you had to have proof of age - didn't matter how old you were or looked. No proof, no sale. This was on tobacco products and alcohol. I carded EVERYBODY. My parents, cops, an very irate 80 year old man, ... everybody. The law was on a huge sticker at the register, and I pointed it out to anyone who complained. I wasn't goning to get arrested because they were too lazy. They could go to another place and get the same product, probably without getting carded, but that wasn't my problem.
My boss there loved me because I was never caught in any of the stings for underage buyers, and I worked will with the police.
I hope Jerry got back on his feet and is living a great life now! 13:05
Aunty Charlotte is 100% that cool aunt
Our sonic had a girl who did spicy things as a side business, completely fine. What wasn't fine was she was caught on break doing those spicy things in the drive in part, where you order. She did not in fact wash her hands and no one at sonic wears gloves. She was shortly fired, but doesn't change the fact that she made food and served it to people after doing spicy things with a lady and a man in their car for all the customers to see. She really tried to deny it.. dude even the cameras caught it.
I heard this story from my manager at Sonic who heard it from the supervisor who witnessed this. This event took place very late /early morning at a rural 24 hr Sonic in the state I live in. The manager and the cook were having seggs on the prep table in the back of the kitchen. The Supervisor did an unannounced visit to the Sonic and caught them in mid act.
Sonic was my 1st job. I was a carhop and worked the soda fountain area. The ice-cream machine was the same. We cleaned it after hours and filled it to be ready the next day. Ok. This is so gross to me now but i was 15 when i started and didn't know better. I was taught to keep the soda from foaming over the sides of the cup to put my index finger in the cup to the 1st knuckle while filling the cup. No gloves. No one wore gloves ever. Me being in the soda area we had a sink and i washed my hands a lot. Sticky stuff when dried. The only 2 other sinks were the 1 in the bathroom and the 1 in the prep/freezer/storage area. The cooks didn't have 1. They just worked through the busy time wiping their hands on the same towel used by all of them for even their sweat. Its hot in there and your packed together. The towel would be put in bleach overnight, rinsed out in the morning then back in the kitchen for another day.
@@SelenaJarvis-Jordan not good
You know, I thought it was just our ghetto neighborhood sonic. I don't trust a single sonic now.

No, my first job should have been the one I kept for life! At the age of stupid sixteen I started work for a "manufacturing" jeweller.That means that he hand made EVERYTHING! An absolute professional with a well established business. He even made jewellery props for movies. I was kind of good with my hands and he began teaching me stuff. But I was late too often, and he gave me warnings, and finally sacked me after saying he would. How I wish I had not been an idiot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
People like that are usually willing to give another chance if you come back some time later and explain how you learned from your mistake and would really appreciate an opportunity to work for them again.

You get a pass. I agree with the 1st commenter 💯
6:15 coming from a previous mcds worker, we are required by LAW to wear gloves, even if we aren’t handling the food, i think this girl is just lazy or it’s a different situation at the one she’s working at, but i swear on my mom that i’ve legitimately gotten a written warning about not wearing gloves over handing the bag to the customer
Sounds like they're in the UK so maybe the regulations are different there. They have to wear gloves in the US I'm pretty sure.
Thank God I thought I was going mad 😂😂😂
Yeah you can look into the kitchens and see people wearing gloves.
You are not required by law to wear gloves in a kitchen in literally any state. There is no law regulating glove wearing in kitchens. It is an FDA recommendation, but is not actually regulated. It's a company policy & is really only done in the US at all because we want the false sense of security it gives us that our food is more sanitary. It's a myth created by fast casual restaurants like Chipotle, Moe's & Subway, where people can literally see their food being prepared, to make them feel better about the fact that workers can't leave the line to wash their hands often enough to avoid cross contamination. I promise you, nobody in any closed restaurant kitchen is wearing gloves to prepare your food.
@@CraziestDiamonds I worked at Burger King at the UK and we didn't wear gloves but we did have the hand washing thingy...also gloves aren't always more sanitary because people pay less attention to how dirty their hands are or what they touch when they wear gloves
Honestly washing that milkshake machine at MCD was an absolutely the worst thing i had to do. I was the only one trained, and my manager would only "allow me" to do it on saturday evening an hour before close and also would make me cover the tills and close the front at the same time. I stole as much food from that place as i possibly and physically could 😂😂😂
Aww my heart hurts for Jerry. 😢 I really hope that he is doing better now and is able to be in his own home. I wish him all the best. He deserves it. ❤
*Charlotte, I'm 60, and I was homeless for awhile in Arizona...maybe 6 months. It was due to a corrupt state agency that was finally uncovered, but too late for the damage done to my family, me, and many other families. Then went back to NJ; I had to be homeless 5 months, in order to get a housing voucher. But I've worked from age 7 til the accident in my early 40's that messed up a foot, a wrist/hand, and did a number on my back/hips. But still get treated like I've contributed nothing, for being on Medicaid. I spent a decade as a Corrections officer in Az prisons, was a cook/baker for over a decade, plus various other jobs. But now folks are shocked I was homeless at one point. You cannot judge a book by it's cover, and unless you have a large network of family AND business connections, when something knocks you fully down, getting it all back is not feasible doing alone or with just a few helping now and then. I AM Jerry. I'm happy Jerry's intelligence and abilities are finally realized, acknowledged, and rewarded.*
Grateful for ur story..I’m hoping I come out similar I’m 2 yrs clean 🤍🫡🪽🫶🏻 God bless
Worst employees? HO HO HOLY shit, do I have a story. So I’m from a small town in Massachusetts and very blue collar based. Our community loves giving people as many job opportunities as they can. The city’s parks department had a job program for high schooler’s and college kids looking for a summer job. It was a pretty chill job. All we had to do was make sure the kids in the park had stuff to do, clean up any trash and operate the water area. My first year I worked there was the summer before my senior year. I had two girls I worked with, I’ll just use their initials. E and D. E was very friendly and kind to me . D, oh HOOOO D. I’ll just get to the point. This girl was a bitch. She pretended to be nice to me when she really just made fun of me because of my autism. E tried to stand up for me, but I also don’t blame her for giving up because D was so relentless. It also didn’t help that I got catfished at the time and my nudes leaked. And everyone I went to school with saw them. Including my coworkers. She spent the rest of the summer making fun of my… size, and called me “Little Pepee.” She even took a lighter and melted the buttons on my DS while I was in the bathroom. Pretty much ruining it because it also stopped the battery from charging. But thankfully, she fucked up😏. You see, D decided to be an idiot, which is 24/7 for her, and roll up some, as me and my musician friends call it, jazz cabbage during our shift. In a public park in front of children. Apparently someone noticed, reported her, and my boss promptly fired her entitled obnoxious ass. I’ve now just graduated from college with my associates in music after 6 years of studying jazz guitar and I’m feeling pretty good about where I am in life rn. Last time I saw her, she was working at Wendy’s. And she had to take my order. HAHAHAHA how the universe can give you a win now and again.
Some well deserved Schadenfreude! It's nice when we actually get to see bad people get some comeuppance.
This video is reminding me of so many characters I've worked with over the years.
By far, the dumbest was back in the mid 1980s. I worked as an assistant designer at a high-end childrens' clothing company. Our clothes were sold at Neiman Marcus, Nordstroms, Macy's, etc. I handled ordering supplies to make buyers' samples, did line drawings for our catalogues, coordinated work between the sample room and production, fixed mistakes in patterns and changed some design elements to make manufacturing more cost effective... a little bit of everything. I had worked before as a professional tailor, so I understood clothing construction well.
I was assistant to 3 designers and needed some help, so the boss hired a first year college student who was majoring in "marketing". She's very beautiful, and that year she was a runner-up in the Miss Texas beauty pageant. She was sweet, likable, but had zero common sense. She was used to others doing everything for her and she could barely read. She reminded me of a golden retriever puppy, very cute and likable but always getting herself in dangerous trouble!
One day, she was doing some filing and had all three lower drawers pulled out on the filing cabinet, She was just pulling the top drawer out as I was running towards her, yelling "NOOOO!" I threw my shoulder against the front of the cabinet just before it would have fallen on her. It had become my full time job to protect her from herself! I never said anything because I didn't want her to be fired, but she was fired the next day. Why? Because she did the exact same thing with the filing cabinet drawers the next day, but right in front of the boss who knew she had done this same thing a day before but obviously learned nothing from the experience.
She was only there for 3 months, but managed to total two expensive cars her parents bought for her. Her parents were filthy rich, she's gorgeous, so I imagine her life went smoothly. She's probably married to some billionaire friend of her rich daddy's. I just hope she's happy and safe. She really was a nice person.
I worked at burger king a long time ago. The hands thing is normal. The time went off every thirty minutes and people were pretty good about hand washing. Then they tried to introduce wearing gloves and quickly discarded that when it was noticed that people never changed gloves when switching from different activities. For example, someone would be making whoppers and need something from the walk in. They'd touch the door knob, the shelves , anything that was in the way and come back and continue making food wearing the same gloves. Someone would be changing the trash and next thing you know they are back on the whopper board with the SAME GLOVES.
Can confirm. Stayed in arguments with coworkers. Take the damn gloves off when you leave the line PLEASE
@@TraceyBoyland A Subway staff member argued with me about the gloves before when I was a customer. I was vegetarian at the time but if meat touches my meal I could tell because it makes me sick. I've been vegetarian since 2006 and vegan for a few years now. So my body can't digest meat anymore. The Subway had a line and they were trying to speed through everyone quickly but they weren't changing their gloves in between. So they were mixing everything; touching meat, veggies, bottles, reusing the same knives for every sandwich without washing it in between, etc.
The person ahead of me had every type of meat in their sub and the person went to make my sub afterward. I asked them nicely if they could please change their gloves before making my sub and explained that it would make me sick if they didn't and they started arguing with me about it. I said you just touched most of the meat products from their sandwich before touching everything else. They argued saying they don't if it's too busy, it wasn't a big deal, etc. But they reluctantly changed them, made my sub, then practically threw it at the person ringing everything up.
If I was by myself I would have just left but I was there with my family who were ordering their subs after me. After that incident, though, if I ever went to Subway, it was when they first opened so I knew everything was freshly prepped and not mixed with other stuff. But I eventually stopped going there altogether. I get being pressed for time with working with food preparation jobs but you shouldn't argue with someone telling you they have a food sensitivity or allergy. As soon as they bring you a restriction you either comply if you can or let them politely know you cannot oblige with their request. Their arguing with me made them take even more time since that was their excuse in the first place.
I worked at bk, and with a science teacher as a mother, I did my absolute best to maintain proper hand hygiene and glove discipline--and i can tell you it was hard. I tried my best to keep up with the discipline. But it was STRESSFUL. The fast pace understaffed environment is absolutely NOT conducive to maintain proper food safety and hand higene standards.
So now, I know when I'm eating out, my life is in the Lords hands. Because crosscontamination among a staff of minimum wage understaffed workers is garunteed.
It's been terrible since they introduced glove wearing here. People handle food and cash wearing the same gloves. They don't wash between glove changes. It's disgusting. I worked fast food for 8 years before gloves were introduced, and our hands were way cleaner than the gloves that people use now are.
I worked fast-food back in the day before " Employees Must Wash Their Hands Before Returning To Work" signs started showing up in bathrooms of restaurants. Those signs to this day still cringey creeps me out because I thought EVERYONE knew this by the time they were potty trained. The fact that things like signs that cost the company money never happens unless there is a reason that cost them money. If you think about that at all you will be as cringey & creeped out as I have been for decades.😲😲😲😫😫
Charlotte, I know this is an old video, but whenever I clean, cook, do laundry, yard work, I’m most likely listening to you. I have a 5 and a 3 year old with me most the day (a 12 year old but she’s always out), my girls know who you are. While I’m doing dishes, which honestly feels like it’s 4 hours a day total, or folding laundry, they say “Oh! It’s Charlotte!”
They are very sweet and don’t go crazy so I can listen. ❤❤

Let’s use our brains for a second. If you had a 50%off staff discount and you got $4000 worth of sexy hotdogs for $2000….you go home and you sell it all for $4000. She likely didn’t keep it all for herself.
You buy full price sexy hot dogs from people and not from a shop?
If I am buying a product from the back of someone's car, I am not paying full retail prices.

@@ericwilliams1659Amen I know quite a few "boosters" Anything they sell will go for half-price maybe even less.15 + years ago, when my now grown sons were little I use to give people my sons shoe and clothing sizes & would pay like $200, $400 for 7 outfits each + 3 new pairs of shoes for 3 kids I kid you not she would have EVERYTHING on that list within 2 days. Sometimes I'd only have to give her $200 or $300 for all of this stuff just depending on how hard up she was for $. Not seen Swiping Sue in years, but I hear she's still out here doing her thing, and almost 70 they said she would take wire cutters with her.
I hate to be the idiot, but what is a “sexy hotdog”?
The allergy story got me 😮 I worked at a restaurant for several years and when a colleague brought out some bread and dips for us to snack I thought she had put on some chilli aioli along. It was the peanut dip which also had chilli in it. I had to end my shift early and my colleague who was holding my hair back while I was emptying my stomach had to call my husband to take me to the er. Fun times. I'm always very keen to check with people's allergies. Please everyone do the same.
I feel like it was your responsibility to check the ingredients before indulging unless your allergies were general knowledge.
I had one of those girls when I was a caterer. She didn’t think she had to refill glasses because they weren’t empty yet. They would be down to ice and she’d still refuse to refill until they were empty. She was super slow with clearing and cleaning. Finally one of the managers had enough and made her stay late to clean with the last group. She whined and complained so much that she quit. 😂
I worked at a really nice restaurant as a service assistant basically delivering food to tables, clearing dishes and refilling water glasses. You best believe those glasses never got empty on my shift, most of the time the glasses never made it below half
Was that their first day of work?! They didn't even know their boss and they were talking about him?! What could they possibly have to say? Nothing, except complain about having to work. Lazy pricks! 9:47
Jerry sounds like a sweetheart. I hope he's doing well.
The last job I worked was because a friend of mine had said they were really hurting for help, it was as a kitchen aid so I was like well I can make it work …and I did! I never took any breaks and sometimes I would even skip lunch because if it was a rush time, I wasn’t going to abandon everyone. If I didn’t have time to eat, I didn’t have time to eat no biggy whatever. Eventually I fell into a routine, I would get all of my work done and then have free time to do whatever or help people out if they needed me to. But for some reason, a coworker took total issue with this, and never told me about it. She acted like we were friends and we got along fine. We talked about our kids, and generally just life and whatever. Then one day I clocked out but before I left, I had gone into the bathroom. She must’ve thought I left though because I could hear her talking crap about me to the new hire saying how slow I was saying how she always has to jump all over me to get me to do my job saying how I’m just such a space case and calling me names … Sooooo, I quit that day! I walked out of that bathroom and put in my two week notice, because if they didn’t need me and I was such a burden on her then why am I even bothering. I could be at home with my kids? I didn’t have to have a job. I was a stay at home mom, I took the job because I was under the assumption that they needed help … But according to her, I was just making more work and making it harder for everyone overall and that I was just a burden 🙄… So the solution was simple, and I said ✌️☺️ peace out bean sprout! I don’t need to be treated like garbage by anyone, least of all high and mighty cook, that thought she was above everyone else, because of her position in the kitchen.🤷🏻♀️
When Charlotte said: "...even spreading it across 20 people...that's a lot of sexy hot-dogs" ..I spit out my cornflakes!
Ironic considering why cornflakes were invented. 😅

As someone who worked at a different fast food place before and after gloves were forced personally I would prefer it with hands on many cases because people are more likely to wash their bare hands than they are to wash their hands and change their gloves. I literally saw some people try to wear the same pair of gloves THE ENTIRE DAY! Or they might just wash their hands with the gloves still on. I saw people so far more gross things with gloves than without them and I worked there longer before the glove rule got implemented. I don’t know about anyone else but if people aren’t following sanitary codes for their own personal hands they aren’t going to do it when gloves are involved either. I myself am more likely to touch things with gloves on that I wouldn’t just touch with my bare hands. Now don’t get me wrong gloves are a great PPE tool but that’s only if people use them the correct way and the majority of people don’t. The same thing is true when people were using gloves in public after Covid happened things like masks and gloves are only protecting people if the people using them use them right!!
Used to work in a Deli at my grocery store (changed departments), The amount of times I've had to slap utensils out of coworkers hands, jump in front of them, throw fresh gloves at them, or snatch cut meat from their hands before they served it just to save the customer is astounding. They would drop a utensil, and pick it right back up and try to serve the customer with it IN FRONT OF THE CUSTOMER. I would fly over there and smack the spoon out of their hand before they could dip it in the food, ordering them to get a fresh spoon.
They would pick their nose, cough, and generally touch themselves before touching food in front of the customer. And the customer would take the food, but then put it back on the counter and leave due to witnessing that. Now these ppl would talk absolute shit about me, that I was bossy, annoying, and mean. But I'll take that as I was only being that way towards those specific ppl to protect the customers.
Thankfully they'd each find their own demise at the job, one was caught stealing from the cash register. Another had been so disgusting in front of customers, including the managers, that they picked a bullshit reason to fire her (over a coffee cup- which is FREE to employees but they needed an excuse and no one did jack to stop them bc tho she was sweet she was just unsanitary).
Not to mention allergies too, I would always make sure those with allergens were safe by completely sanitizing what was needed for their order no matter how much it held up the line.
They're all still unhappy I changed departments, and no one I worked with could stand being there without me so they all followed suite. Even the customers come to me saying, "I don't feel safe getting my food there since you left that department," and I'm like, "I know, I'm sorry." Every time I have to visit that part of the store I see them just dicking around and our orders aren't done bc they just don't care and don't want to work, but then complain that everything is backed up specifically bc they dicked around til it was time.
But there were also moments I had to protect my coworkers, you'd be surprised just how many incel ppl, or just perverts in general, get off on subjugating women, by abusing them mentally and emotionally. Who would say things like, "I can get you fired" with a sneer. Our girls would run into the freezer and cry. They would cause messes and order our girls to get down and clean it so they could watch and berate them with a smile. So whenever I saw it happening I would take over for them. Our girls were also sexually harassed by ppl of all ages, and we got those perpetrators banned too. Some of them even got punched in the face, which was worth the suspension.
I have seen that first story happen in-person. The girl had handed in her notice add a cheap variety store and they had cancelled her staff discount straight away. She had her mother with her and two shopping carts full of merchandise. I saw it all because unfortunately I was so sucker standing behind her in line. I'm not sure how it ended. But if they're going to cancel staff discounts when they hand in notice, that needs to be stated when they start. I doubt it was 50% though. I owned a mobile phone store and I sold products to my staff at cost price which also included GST - goods and services tax. But my staff were all decent, I let one use one of the shop sim cards as well. In her discounted phone belonging to her! Because she was totally honest and trustworthy.

Yeah 13 an hour for fliers isn't bad at all 7 years ago. It still wasn't technically a living wage but it was a lot closer than most paid. Though where it was at would devalue or increase the value of the pay. Like that isn't a living wage in Seattle but it may have been in the small town I lived it.

As for working at McDonald's back in 2013 it's true. The machine is never broken, it's just easier for us to tell that to customers then to tell them it's locked. Bc then so many of will yell and would want an exclamation as to why it's locked. So to stop an argument from happening we say it's broken.
Charlotte’s rant on McDonalds is the most honest, real thing I’ve heard recently. You’re not wrong ma’am.

there's a garfield comic about that, my fav one ever. 3 panels of jon watching garfield walk back and forth carrying boards and hammer and stuff, banging off (screen?) panel. jon finally checks on the noise and garfield has nailed his tv to the ceiling so he can lay on his back in bed and watch tv. jon just says "ive never seen anyone work so hard to be lazy" i laughed way too hard and remember that comic over a decade later lol
That walking time bomb of a waitress was the responsibility of the front house manager and the general manager! The chef has nothing to do with it unless this restaurant is the only in the world structured this way...A lot of management can't do their jobs to the fullest, which includes firing. I know because I was a GM for over twenty years! I would be sent to locations in order to get them back into compliance because their management team couldn't do the job...
I've worked some really terrible hospitality jobs with really horrible bosses and coworkers at a time when just leaving and going elsewhere wasn't an option. Never, ever again. I've lived in my car once, I'll do it again. Stories like these just reinforce it.

NEVER. DATE. A. COWORKER. I literally don't know how often I can yell about this, it almost NEVER works out and almost ALWAYS ends up awkward.
Yep. Even if the coworker is in a different department. Just don't.
I met my man while we worked together. Loved him to bits for 2 years from a distance. When I had turned in my notice was when we finally started dating. Together 8 years now. You can MEET your soul mate at work, but don't date them while you work together. If it's real, it's worth waiting for. Now, I don't know how this applies to lifer careers where neither of you is leaving until you retire, that's a different story.
My mom fell in love with her coworker. They quit and started their own company together.
I met my husband at work. It’s been 16 years going on 17. Sometimes it does work out, however I’m probably the exception.
So you're saying there's a chance.
I worked in a bakery kitchen.
Only gloves were worn when either the finishers were girls who didn't want their nails dirty, or when we had cuts on our hands.
Washed hands are clean unless open cuts are present.
Gloves are really only used in cafeteria settings where people are handling ready to eat food and money... the gloves are thrown out after every serving in that case.
Not true. You need to wear gloves when handling raw foods in the restaurant I work at. On the off chance someone has tiny cuts they didn't notice, it's so we don't get pathogens and dirt in it. When I was in culinary school, same deal: gloves at all times unless cutting RTE food or for delicate tasks like shucking oysters where you don't want vinyl in the food
@@HighAsHeckPriestessnotice they said bakery. That means dough and cakes. Raw meat is different.
@@HighAsHeckPriestessmaybe not true where you worked but it's literally not a rule everywhere! We were taught during food hygiene courses that gloves do not need to be worn at all times because Yr more likley to cross contaminate while wearing gloves than not and just washing your hands regularly
@@kaydelahunty3789 Yes! I've seen so many people cross contaminate with gloves on and it really grosses me out. A common way is they'll handle money, then handle the food without changing gloves- yuck! It's like it gives them a false sense of security, thinking they're being sanitary just because they're wearing gloves.
I hope Jerry is doing much better these days. He seems like such a stand up guy. ❤

Mad respect to anyone who works with food. Keeping track of what is what to not kill people (and actually caring about it) is hard. A thousand songs of praises for you all.
I would have rewarded Jerry with a full time job and made sure his hotel was taken care of for a week.
Never pay without looking at the video first!
I would've liked to give him the pay the other 2 would've got but realistically that'd probably get him in legal trouble.

Clean hands are WAY more sanitary than gloves.
I bought my kid a hot dog once from a kart. The lady took my money, gloves on, then reached in & grabbed a bun. I told her, and I'll paraphrase "ABSOLUTELY NOT!" She said "i have gloves on. I pointed out that she just touched money and her register box and didn't change gloves. She actualky could not grasp what the hell i was talking about. She ended up telling me she puts a pair of gloves on at the start ofthe day, then maybe new ones if she takes a break and goes to the restroom.
Instead of being the smartest idiot, she was just an idiot.
The server in the final story nearly kills people, but the boss "omg she strokes my ego and all that, we must keep this gem." That manager was asking for a mutiny.
@@Cynophileandavianenthusiast hahaha! exactly!
The McDonald's one is hilarious to me cause my parents started dating while working there. My mom was 16, and the fry girl and my dad was the manager. Now, my parents had a horrible relationship, and my brother and I were so happy when they divorced. So maybe it's not the best place to find a lifelong partner, haha!
Funny enough I met my son's dad working at McDonald's and that didn't last either 😅 my son is now 6 and I haven't been with his dad since he was about a year and a half. He's such a pain in the back side 😂😂 12 more years and I won't have to have much to do with him 😅 but who is counting? 🤷♀️
Just to clarify I'm talking about the dad, not my son 😂😂
The company that makes their ice cream machines actually filed a lawsuit against them for damaging the brands reputation
😮 good!!!
I just had to look this one up especially after watching Johnny Harris’s exposè YT video . Taylor, McDonald’s ice cream machine supplier was in cahoots with McDonald’s and was sued by a different company that provided franchisors with a way to fix their “broken” machines themselves instead of being to being force to wait on and pay for repairs which McDonald’s and Taylor were profiting from. McDonald’s and Taylor told lies about this company and tried to copy/steal their software.
And yes, they both absolutely deserved to be sued 🤡
No they didnt,
A very different company sued taylor ( the company that makes the machines and actually programmed them to break down so that they can repair for a big fee)
The company that is sueing just made a device so that restaurants can fix the machinese themself
All of ours automatically shut down at a certain time of night. I had to tell my boss to stop telling people it was broken when it really is just off.
That's not true. Another comment got it right about the machines being designed to break down.
Pro McD’s employee tip…ask for light salt or no salt on your fries, and you’ll get fries fresh from the frier. If you ask for light or no seasoning on your meat, you’ll get a fresh from the grill beef patty. This is something I do to this day even though I haven’t worked there in over a decade.
Totally not true! We just redropped enough fries in the fryer for a few seconds bc it dissolves the salt
@@xXGlashtynXx That’s terrible for your oil life. I wouldn’t recommend it…
At 6:29 I remember they used to give out mayo packets for no charge
I'm assuming since she was leaving she needed another method of income, so selling "sexy hotdogs" for under price (but still more than 50%) would give her a nice 25% profit income while she won that casino money haha
Sometimes people buy them for more than the original price as well/ or bid on them. Some people are into that XD She could also use them as a tax write-off if she needed them for a side job lol
@@deadsetondreams1988 And I thought Gamer Girl Water was bad (I'm assuming you meant she used them then sold them to gross perverts).
@@maurer3d I don't know if she actually did but I've heard of people getting a lot for selling them. You are correct, that is what I was trying to say without saying XD
what are "sexy hotdogs"? sorry to ask, english not my first language
@@taniagomes5210 Toys of the Adult and private kind.
Not sure if UA-cam would actually allow the word.
Charlotte you are adorable. Your amazing sense of humour helped me in my worst days. And your opinions inspired me too many times. You are like the sun that's here every and makes everything better. Thank you.♥️
I think more than a million of us agree. Charlotte is the daily spot of sunshine that we need!
To the person who has children watching, I've never heard Charlotte say anything profane, she has funny ways of talking to the adults that the kids won't get until years later. What a treat for that 6 year old when the lightbulb goes off when she's older and realizes what a "sexy hotdog" is!
That happened to me. One Xmas in the mid-1960s when I was about five, my rather naive dad gave our Mom a "neck massager" that was pink, cylindrical, like a long bullet with variable speed vibration. Mom had terrible arthritis in her neck, so when Dad saw this box with a lady holding this instrument next to her face with a big happy smile, he knew it was just what Momma needed for her neck pain! My big sisters were in their 20s, and when Mom unwrapped that gift, they went into hysterics and had to leave the room. Momma turned bright red, Dad was still clueless but Mom said they'd discuss it later.
I never forgot that mysterious episode, but it was about 10 years later when I figured it out and laughed my butt off!
My dad was a brilliant engineer and scientist but when it came to human sexuality and pop culture, he was a Sweet Summer Child, and I love that about him!
Oh, I didn't see Momma's "neck massager" again until after she died. She kept it in her nightstand. Poor Momma was really plagued with neck pain! Bless her heart!
At the market at U of A it was way worse. Some guy was getting fired so he sold EVERYTHING in the store for 1 penny each. The store was EMPTY by the end of the day and he left. There should still be a news article about it somewhere.
My 12 yr old and I have daily watch parties and you Charlotte always is the first on our list! We love you Charletta! All the way from Arizona! ❤🎉
13:28 I really thought that that Jerry story was going to end better. The boss went on and on seemingly building up about him and then nothing. I was really hoping to hear something like he had promoted him, helped him out in some way. Is it just me? Like, it really sounded like it. If not, why share all this about how he was that good of a person and didnt deserve all that. Idk. Maybe its just me but i really hope someone out there helped Jerry.
He said he hired him more... thats as close to a promotion as you are going to get when you are working odd jobs here and there
He continuously offered him jobs so that technically is a promotion
As someone with a DEADLY food allergy, that last server scares the SCHEISSE out of me! Just having my allergen at the table is enough to set off a reaction. I have to be SOOO careful.
First girl was 1000% selling that product on the side. I worked at a small pet store once and most of the product was really expensive, the type of place that people with more money than sense shop at, but one of the employee perks was getting everything at cost so we could get HIGH quality food/supplies for next to nothing. One girl was buying things and then turning around and selling it to people through Facebook for a profit. Even though the rest of us thought she was sus, the owner only finally fired her when she bought a bunch of cat food and she didn't own a cat.
Good Morning Petty Potatoes! ❤🍿
Morning :)
Buenos días 😊
Morniiiing🩷
In my time is night 😂
Why, GM Petty Potatoes! 🥔 💅🏽
Being as I worked at McDonald's several times before, I can confirm that 90% of the time, the ice cream machine is not broken. It's just that we mainly run out of mix for the ice cream and shakes. Cause it's actually uses the same mix for both and we often don't get enough mix for the week. S, I can confirm, it's not that it's broken. It's mainly because 90% of the time, we have no mix.
I love how every ad I saw in this video was for McDonald's 🤣 and I totally won't stop eating it either. Love you Charlotte! ❤
I worked in an adult store for a year. BEST JOB EVER! My bosses had a dog and they often bring her to the store. Sexy hot dogs are usually sold in a box, first a all, second, a normal person cleans their sexy hotdog before using it and last, the dog mostly stayed in the backstore. And she was also useful to scare away all the p3rvs looking for way more than sexy hotdogs and fl3shlights ;)
I'm thinking that I'd probably enjoy working at an adult store. I'm a grey-haired old lady with a weird sense of humor, not easily embarrassed, and the filter on my mouth stopped working long ago. I would imagine it's an interesting place to work, and every day is different!
My favorite job ever also had a shop dog, owned by my bosses. One day, my cat (who loved car rides) stowed away in my back seat and I drove all the way to work before I discovered him. I was 30 miles from home, so asked my bosses if I could take him back home and work extra to make up for it. They had met "Spaz" before and loved him. He was a big chill tomcat and very friendly. They insisted on letting him stay and see how it worked out.
I went next door to 7 Eleven and bought cat litter and food, made a litterbox out of the box top from a case of paper (we were a print shop). Spaz had never been around a dog before, so that was the big test. Could he get along with Miss Foo, the owners' precious Pekingese Princess?
He walked up and licked the pup on the head, the dog flopped on her back, asking for belly rubs. They were instant BFFs so Spaz became a regular at work. Some customers would stop by just to visit those two. We never had any problems because of them.
@@LazyIRanch so nice of your boss to let your cat stay! And if you have the chance at working in an adult store, do it! There's nothing wrong in selling some fun and happiness ;D tbh id do it again, and my boss asked mme to come back but i moved too far away sadly
Yes! Thank you! People have pets in stores all the time. I'm not defending this girl or her behavior, she should have asked first and when they said no, then that's that. But the argument kinda didn't hold up. They don't have sexy hot dogs open and laying around the store. lol. And what if someone has a service dog? Just say we don't allow pets because it's our policy.
Your videos have been getting me through unpacking in a new city for the last 4 days :) love the chaotic energy and pettiness
Prayers for Jerry!!❤ hope you find all you need and more😊
OMG! Auntie Charlotte is so incredibly adorable 🥰
Love that for you! Little bestie needs customized merch
“I learned everything I need to know from my Auntie Charlotte:
-Stay Petty
-Move In The Shadows
-I Am Worthy To Not Be Pleasing The Peoples
Best Auntie In The World!”
Honestly, I might need this merch too 😂😂😂
1:40 - didn't enjoy the position... no joke for that line?
I love Charlotte. Honestly just seems like a girl who be just the coolest friend to have and laugh with. I watch these videos everyday as I work from home. I just adore the fact Charlotte and reacts exactly how I would to these crazy stories with just screaming and being her goofy self. Thank you for making these and being our Petty Judge and Jury Queen. 💖💖
Reminds me of some terrible coworkers and bosses I’ve had in the past. I’m very grateful to not have to work with them anymore.
By condoning bad behavior YOU'RE PERPETUATING A CYCLE.
Had that restaurant been sued... their lack of personal responsibility made them more than liable. 🤦♀️
Thank you, Charlotte.
Swear your videos give me a little grounding. Liiiike, even on my worst days all I gotta do is put on a few of your videos and it makes me feel much better about myself. I KNOW THATS EGO. I try my very best to remain conscious about it... but WE ALL FEEL LIKE ISH sometimes. Watch a Dobre video. They help.
You welcome. 😂🎉
But that ego boost be more important tho
@@IgniteThePathWithin certainly not more important there, Jessie. I have no other "social media" other than UA-cam. I don't take selfies n I don't post. Shhhhhit I'm a Mom with 2 toddlers. 😅😅 that's why you don't assume. You know what assume stands for, right? You just making an ass out of you and I. 😆
If you wanna try to create a problem where there isn't one, then you go ahead n do that. It says much more about you than anyone else you have anything to say to. 😁
@@IgniteThePathWithin I mean if you have no ego, a complete death to your ego SHOW ME YOUR WAYS.
Don't just tell people where you think they're wrong HELP THEM WITH YOUR WAYS since you're such a pro who's apparently figured everything there is to figure out. 💁♀️
Don't come for someone in HER videos. An entire army of petty. Thank you and good day. 😘😘
@@abella01123 I was Sarcastically agreeing with you hahaha!! Long live the Queen of the Petty Potatss!!
@@IgniteThePathWithin there really is such a journey of death to your ego. Im sarcastic, as well. However, it's been something I've REALLY been working on.
That was my little confession that I do find myself still stroking my own ego. That IS what it is.
The internet sucks sometimes n I take most to be the same way. 🤷♀️
I'm good. You're good. We're good. 😄
That's why here in Finland (and in EU areas in general) we have very strict regulations, including hygiene issues in all restaurants, including fast food. Welcome to enjoy McDonald's here, safely.
Me and my daughter watch your videos together all the time! She’s 9 and loves the stories on your channel 😂
I have two doctorates and a masters, but the best job I ever had was minimum wage nannying so I could keep my son with me. ❤️
I had a co worker in a pizza place and she was a delivery driver but didnt have her driver's license and her mom would drive her around to deliver pizzas until the owner took her in as a charity case and bought an electric bike for her. I had to re deliver sooooo many pizzas because she fell off the bike ruining the pizza smh
Mad respect for those brave enough to work at a fast food place. BOOMER STORYTIME. My junior high in the mid 1960s (back in the day they were junior high, grades 7-9. It should still be that way IMO) was about 30 yards from a Burger Chef (before McDonalds came to town, but basically the same thing) so you can imagine what it was like when the dismissal bell rang. It was standing room only, wall to wall hormonal, pre and pubescent heathens. 15 cent cheeseburgers, 10 cent fries, 5 cent cokes. Five days a week those workers dealt with our shit. Any fight that was going to take place? “I’ll see YOU behind Burger Chef after school”. And my mom would come driving up in her Lime Gold ‘67 Mustang- which is still in the family🫶- with our goofy Irish Setter hanging out of the window. I would always have to buy two plain burgers for the dog before going out to the car🤦♀️ damn we had a great childhood. I feel sad for kids today because they don’t have the freedoms we enjoyed.
loved Burger Chef because you could dress your own burger however you wanted!
Amen! Burger chef was my favorite we are blessed to be Gen X unfortunately we ignited have to save our world…
I know of one dude who was permanently banned from our local McDonald's and that was because he (a teenager at the time) crawled into the outdoor playhouse/slide and got himself stuck between the slide and the metal exoskeleton and clear plastic sides of the structure, so the police and fire department had to come and cut him out like the dumb Ken doll he was 😂
The ice cream machines are also proprietary and support is only handled through a single channel. And diagnosing and troubleshooting the machines causes huge issues.
There was a company that reverse engineered their system and came up with a tool that would interface with the machines and made diagnosing the machines avail to other support teams.
McDonald’s and the company that did the ice cream machines system conspired to take that company down.
Is an interesting read
My uncle once sent his new co-driver (huge 18-wheelers, transport across Europe) to the ATM to get 300 Euro in cash, the guy came back a couple of minutes later saying that the only options were 100 and 200, and no 300, which should he choose 🤣
😂i'm from Europe, your comment made me laugh so much.
That is kinda a point tho. It may be totally stupid depending on the system and the way that it is managed, if it's just a few people then it's easy to keep track of the amount of withdrawals and the amount of cash total. I work for a decently sized company and I work with a guy with memory issues and he sometimes forgets to give change. Management come down a lot because they can see how many transactions we do against the amount of times the drawer is opened and his rarely adds up due to the amount of no sale openings for when he is reminded for change.
I had a coworker who brought in bouquets to give everyone the day our store closed. I'm very allergic to flowers, which was a well known fact, went into anaphylactic shock, and had to leave via ambulance.
Glad you're ok. Did anything happen to that person who almost killed you?
Prayers For Everyone Thank You Lord We Love You Lord Thank You In Jesus Christ Holy Name AMEN
Yeah, people think its funny.. hardy ha ha...when they are playing with your life🤨
Speaking from experience unfortunately but your body can only take so many 'hits' before you start paying for all your 'saviours'. 🤕
@@NekoKuro-il8rz I mean, not really since the store was closing. But I'm pretty sure it got added into their work file, so I guess that's gonna follow them. I also got to send them the medical bill since they were technically responsible, so there was that too. But I didn't press any charges, just didn't want to have to deal with that.
@@sueladybird6923 My friends nickname for me is "The Unkillable One," because by all accounts I should be dead by now, but not even Death itself wants to put up with my BS.
I was just talking about how a transferred employee only worked 1 half a day shift and called out for two days straight the next two days. 🙃 I am really tired of complaining about my coworkers but damn, some people just really come to work to not work.
My daughter is 8 and she LOVES you! She’s always watching you. She and I love watching you together.
We did enjoy that story about the three guys and Jerry doing all the work! Like to find out where that Jerry guy is, so we could see if we could get him more work!
You could have 10 years in restaurants and managers will often choose a beginner. It happened with me at a coffee shop, they said they get sick of hiring people who keep wanting to do things their way. It’s easier to train a beginner than to retrain someone with old habits who thinks they know better ❤
Back when I worked retail, I was wondering why after I started I never saw the guy that worked in my department. We had an overlap of hours so I definitely should have been seeing him more. One day I caught him coming up the back stairwell and acting shady. So instead of trying to keep up the whole work load myself, and getting reamed for not being able to keep up both of our duties, I asked the security at the store to review the tapes. Yeaaaaaa he was immediately fired. He’d clock in, work a few hours until I got there, and would leave out the back stairwell to the mall shopping center, coming back to when he had to clock out. Sorry not sorry!
I'm in the suburb where the crash with the yellow car happened. The photo used in the clip was posted to our suburb facebook group asking if anyone knew her. Glad she found out who damaged her car.
I know this vid is older, but HEYYY AUNTYYY CHARLOTTE 😂❤😂❤
100% about a honest day's work. When my kids first wanted to get jobs that's basically the speech I gave them: when you get a job, you make an agreement that for X amount of money, you will perform whatever the job is they are asking you to do, and therefore, you are morally obligated to do your very best. If at some time, you ever feel like you do not like the bargain you have made, you have the option of renegotiating with your employer, or leaving the position. You do NOT have the option of not doing the job to the best of your ability and also taking someone's money. That is stealing.
As someone who works at McDonalds and always gets yelled at over the Ice Cream machine, I was so nervous when she said that the machine was never actually broke. Though, I'm happy that she continued to then explain that it was really down and unusable. Somone from my store made a similar TikTok and lied in it, and it caused all kinds of issues just from the people who knew her personally who had seen it. {We live in a fairly small city and get most of our business from people who live there or from the small town about a ten minute drive away}
Though I also want to know what city she's in because we use gloves on table {food prep station} consistently. We have the same handwash timer, obviously, but everyone uses gloves for any food handling.
Yeah it is far easier to say "It's Broken", then to say "It is down for maintenance", because once you say maintenance, people will assume it will be up and running in a few minutes, when actual maintenance on those machine s takes a few hours minimum.
@maurer3d
Or for some reason they'll assume you can just stop maintenance just to make them their ice cream
@@faeangel7649 LOL, that too.
Ages ago between jobs I spent a year working at McD's. It was no where near as bad as said here. No gangs, we wore gloves, mostly middle aged men in the kitchen. Young girls up front. The only drama was the gay rotund manager who cut my hours in half, kept me on welfare then fired me the instant I told him I found another job. I stayed at that job 14 years until I retired.
The leaflet distribution guy should have told the guys he knew what they had been up to and what they said,so they wouldn’t be getting paid,but since Jerry did all the work,he would get their wages!
The McD's gall talking about everyone sleeping with everyone and then throwing in dog lover... Do I dare ask someone to define what kind of dog lover we are talking about?
Jerry, you the man! ❤ Seriously, considering his age, he was probably an investment banker in the 80s and a lot of them got hit hard during that time. That’s probably when he lost his job, then his home and family and just couldn’t recover after that. Poor guy… You know, so many kids today have no idea what it means to do an honest day’s work. My husband and I are 50, his father was always a hard worker and my mom worked really hard at crappy jobs after her divorce to support my sister and I. We both knew, no matter what job you had, you worked when you were there. That’s what they pay you for, to do your job, so do it to the best of your ability. That’s what our kids saw. My husband worked a full and part time job while they were growing up and I worked part time at different jobs. Even the one that stressed me out so bad I came home venting and thought I was going to stroke out one day, I still went… Now they’re adults. They work the same way. My youngest is 20 and started working at the local diner right before he turned 15. By the time they closed (which was about 10 months ago now) he was literally running the show. He knew things none of the other employees knew about the inner workings, he paid vendors… He was literally doing things only the owner would have done because the guy trusted my son so much. And he was only 19 at the time. He was damn good at his job. That’s how it should be no matter what you’re doing.
I hope Jerry got back on his feet and is living in a nice apartment somewhere with a great job, maybe a cat, even a girlfriend 😊 Go Jerry! You’re awesome!
