I happen to be chronically ill, since i was about 17. Last time i visited my specialist, and i complained about being SO tired all the time and that it depressed me, he told me, i should view my disease and myself differently. He said: "Having Crohns disease, is like being an athlete, it's top sport for the body to deal with it, it's natural for you to be so tired,...it's the... Read More »
Subway stories.
I worked various shifts at a 24hr Subway. Overnights contained constant entertainment. I've experienced (people): - masterbate outside the windows; - drop their pants in the store after loogying into the lettuce; - do a line on a table; - roll one on a table; - smash an empty 26er over another guys head which cut off a large piece of one ear; - be too drunk &/or high to move, then pass out in the store, - start bloody fistfights broken up by police; - piss on the exterior windows; - piss ALL over a washroom with the toilet seat deliberately down; - deficate ALL over a washroom (think ceiling and walls..); - leave 'prizes' such as condoms and empty liquor bottles in the store; - threaten to 'bash my skull in' with the store shovel he stole from the entrance; - staff members too high to work and trip balls while trying to serve customers, then having to go into the back to sit down; - staff members deposit more roaches out back than cigarette butts; - staff member on an overnight wearing a baseball cap, dark shades, big smile, and bouncing his head to a continuous techno cd, while serving customers on e; - overweight individuals eat entire bottles of mayo, with extra cheese and bacon on their 'subs' - creepy old men hitting on the teenage female workers; - very drunk man throwing a table through a window; - a disgruntled man with a tire iron smashing the sneeze guard; - enormous understaffing issues; - a customer asking to use the phone (portable) during a busy period, which he then took unnoticed into the washroom for an hour. We later recieved a bill for an hours worth of phone-sex service.. - a 75ish year old couple describe graphicly and in detail their recent activities on a sex swing; - staff members who dated using a table for 'support', which they broke during the act; - staff members who hotboxed a freezer; and, - a staff member who became so high and bored she coloured over 20 'my little pony' pictures and stuck them on the walls in the back; and, We did it for the subs ;)
I used to be able to get back from lunch at 12:30 and know that there would be a fresh batch of uPick submissions to read, but now I have to actually do some work as it is not being updated everyday!!!!
Several years ago I worked with a overnight delivery company. It wasn't unusual to run into all sorts of dogs when you made a delivery (including nasty ones.) One day, I walked up to a lady's house where the front door was open. As soon as I rang the bell, I heard the jingle of dog tags & realized I was too far away from the vehicle to get back there in time, so I braced myself.... Read More »
I work at Wal-Mart as a Wireless Sales Associate (basically electronics), and we have this one reoccurring older African-American customer who comes in with the assumption that we are some type of IT or Geek Squad. Well anyways, he comes in about a week ago, and brings his laptop. The laptop that he has is a Compact with Windows XP (a bit outdated I must say). Anyways, he pulls... Read More »
I work private security, we have lately been having a lot of issues with access control and breaches (people not allowed to be there, being there.) so we have one officer who is in charge of training all of the officers in proper breach control. During his breach test, he failed and got a slap on the wrist. During mine, I passed but I missed a minor detail and got written up and... Read More »
