I worked at target for a while, and I can say from my experience that it's a fairly safe bet to buy food from there, because they are scared SHITLESS about getting sued. You will get in trouble for not taking your lunch on time because they're afraid of legal trouble.

At an organisation I once worked for, I helped with that year's graduate program. Five different work sites in the organisation each listed the sort of work a graduate would do in their workplace; they also told us how many graduates they were willing to accept. Applicants would submit their CV and nominate one of the work sites. However, three of the work sites told us they wanted zero graduates that year. Therefore, every graduate who applied for one of those three work sites had their application thrown out with no further consideration. We missed out on employing some highly qualified graduates. No one from those work sites ever explained why they went to the effort of listing the work a graduate would do in their workplace if they had no intention of accepting any graduates.

The aerospace firm was Heizer aerospace in imperial Missouri. I'm a machinist in the area and I worked with guys that told the exact same story. It gets worse though. They were building components for warplanes and the owner was blabbing about what he was making. Not in general terms, he was sharing classified names, talking about how the design of different parts fit together and what performance profile that provided. Military secrets that may not seem consequential but all the info taken together could have negated any advantage the new airframes had in combat and resulted in the death of US and allied airmen. The DOD fined his ass $500,000, forced him to sell the company, audited said company and the man himself. IRS followed up and fined him again. Ended up seizing his fleet. He's no longer allowed to receive defense contracts, of course. But it's the publicity of it that really ruined him. Machining is a small and relatively tight knit profession. People talk. He can't find anyone to sell him a shop or just hire him as a supervisor. Local banks won't give him loans anyway because nobody wants to do business with a man that categorically cannot be trusted, not with money, secrets or lives. They all know that man doesn't care what he signs he won't hold to that deal. There's a lot of things the Midwest forgives but fucking over the troops by spilling military secrets to impress your buddies at the bar isn't one of them.

A lot of these stories would probably count as embezzlement (taking company money for your own benefit)

I hate how half of the stories don’t actually say the names of the businesses so I can’t avoid them

As a former restaurant worker I'm amazed and appalled at the food ones. 🤢 Nearly all of the places I've worked were very clean and very strict about food handling practices. The gross ones deserve to be shut down.

One of my former roommates worked IT for a 'not for profit' company that does standardized testing for schools out of Portland. He took that job specially because he wanted to help kids. But the company was not only corrupt but shocking corrupt. If anyone has seen the recent video 'a day in life of a linked in employ' he said it was like that but worse. He even saw internal communications that showed direct corruption and pay offs for no bid contracts. Including pay offs to government regulators that are supposed to check up on them. He quit that job after a few months because he got so disgusted by it.

Some of these bosses remind me of fictional bad business owners who do the same on TV. I guess life really does imitate art.

I work for a very well known petrol station company(hint: it has a shape and a letter in the name). A few years ago my company started to sell car wash vouchers card around Father’s Day. I was curious to see if they were any good so I did the maths on them. For 30 or 40 car wash’s voucher the deal was pretty decent, you made some good savings on it. It was they I noticed in the small writing on the card that it had an expiry date that activated when you buy the voucher. I then did the Maths and found out that you would have to wash your car, 1 1/2 times a day to fully utilise the voucher before it expired. Seriously, if you use up the whole card by the end, you would have no paint left on your car. I started after this point to encourage customers not to buy the card.

I'm pretty sure at least a few of these would count as charity fraud, the punishment of which is a portion of every sale plus a fine (as far as I know, I'm not a lawyer)

I worked at a large chain seafood restaurant in Vancouver, right on kitsilano Beach that offered "fresh" seafood, I don't think I saw a single seafood item that wasn't frozen for weeks before it was used. Our greens from Okanogan greens were "grown in California" The chowder was bought in, and we steamed the bags to heat them. Our crab ravioli was dried pasta with maybe crab inside, who knows... I didn't really want to find out.

heres the thing with a lot of these dirty and disgusting food things, where i live its not nearly as bad due to significantly stricter policies, which do get violated, but you can usually tell, and avoid getting sick

Sounds like you can do a whole video about walmart problems XD. Also the retirement home hits pretty hard, not only was my own grandmother mistreated, but an ex of mine worked at one as a nurse. She was constantly depressed and would tell me horror stories about how bad the elderly were treated there. Everything like what this video said, and more like employees stealing the elderly's bank account info, jewelry etc etc

Used to work at a large-chain health food grocery store. It was bought by a certain huge company known for convenient online shopping. Quality in the grocery store went way down. Tuna salad, for example, came in several different bags to be all mixed together and sold for a ridiculous price in the chefs case. Management didn't like us preparing it within eye-sight of customers because it all looked gross af

2:20 - Unacceptable?! Fuck nah. That's worthy of commendation, applause, endorsement even. Based on that situation and how directly responsible that boss was for the harm he caused? Especially when it wasn't even for a good reason just greed.. he's lucky she didn't do a lot worse. There's a line at some point in the "a lot worse" where it would *become* unacceptable. Even at that unless it was particularly vile I'd still understand. We used to do a lot worse to our bosses when they did harm to us employees. I'm proud of this lady. Good old Swingline swing

Send Gordon ramsy to those restaurants then they'll have to clean up

At a certain restaurant,when you take your 30 min break....for some reason ...3hours disappear from the time card.

When I worked on Planet Wormulon, the soft drinks that we exported were produced in a colossal space queen worm’s behind.

I would like to briefly note that any form of waste separation that your city requires is nonsense and is only there to collect money from people if they don't comply. the stuff ends up in the same landfill where marching

When food falls on the floor, coworkers use it anyway. The owner acts like she doesn't see it.. It's disgusting. Owner takes a share of tips...also disgusting.

Back in the 80s I worked for a burger King restaurant and we won second place for the best restaurant for the Western region so CA, AZ, OR, WA, NV,, and maybe some other states. So a really big area. What floors me was that we did not do anything like a white glove treatment or anything just want was nessasery to clean up. And we got second place in about a quarter of the entire US. This was back when I was making $3.25 an hour and the prise I got was a $100 bonus. I never wanted to think about the stores that got the lowest scores.

I work for Metra RR and the amount of fuel and money management wastes makes me sick. For real, i am tempted to post it on reddit

Redditor: this company is the worst, nobody should buy from them Also redditor: refuse to name the company

Panera breads soup in just Campbells brand. I still laugh when I see panera brand in stores far twice the price. Used to put bags of Campbells brand soup in the sous vide everyday.

Can't say this applies to all Petsmart locations but when you buy something to put in the donation box for shelter animals it ends up back on the shelf.

Charity and donation scams are more common than you think

I worked at a carwash and found a handgun in the back seat of one.i left it there.

As a sac state student, it’s wild to hear a story that’s so close by 😭

I work at a logistics maintenance hub. The customers are the various logistics companies that bring their fleets in for service and repair. It can be from hydraulic equipment to lorries and loaders. What the customers do not know is that to repair one lorry or hydraulic lift, the maintenance hub may scavange a part from another customer's piece of equipment to get one out. Then we order one new part for the one we scavanged the part from and scavange another part from someone else. The boss keeps leaving messages to do this. It has been working for years. But, I think it is a rather questionable practice. But it does get things done.

My NHS org lost our pension payment details when we transferred to new management, and it took a year for them to sort it out.

2:28 No no, that evil boss deserves to have a stapler thrown at him. Some people are really scummy.

15:00 has something similar with deserts. Dame Blanche 2-3 balls of vanilla ice, some whipped cream, chocolate and a cookie for around 5€. Coup Denmark 2-3 balls of vanilla ice, some whipped cream, chocolate and a cookie for around 5,50 or 6€. The difference? The coup Denmark came with hot chocolate. Thinking about it now, it makes sense. Due to chocolate being hot and in it's own little bottle to pure yourself but as a kid of 12-16yo I didn't think about it and funnily enough, nobody was able to explain the extra cost involved to me.

Well that's one way to give a chiropractic adjustment 😂

The whole *smile cookie* thing is charity fraud.

Subway employee. The Subway Series is basically a scam to get people to pay for the old sandwiches but with extra stuff (double cheese, avocado, bacon, etc.) while hiding the old sandwiches on the menu. The hotshot italiano is literally the exact same thing as a spicy italian but with double cheese. The outlaw and the philly are the exact same sandwich, steak and cheese with double cheese. The tuna itself is actually deep red/pinkish in color but the reason why it's so light in color when served is because it's almost entirely mayo. Cold cut combos are drenched in slimey stuff and are disgusting. Managers easily get away with stealing tip money. At the one I worked at, and I imagine many others, what you put in the tio jar is actually mostly going to the owner or manager. What a lot of people don't know is that we get practically nothing from the tip jar (and the amount you get is VERY biased, they pick and choose who they want to have tips) but if you hand an employee the tip and say "this is for you." Then the employee can keep it. Do not put money in the tip jar if you want the employees to get a fair portion of it. Many people have put money in the tip jar thanking me and thinking that I'm going to be getting a decent share of it when in reality I might get 5 cents out of their $3 tip if I'm lucky. My manager got angry with me and a coworker when she found out someone handed us both a $20 bill as a tip and told us that it was for us. Our manager was angry that we didn't put it in the tip jar.

I work for a local gov't. agency in the U.S. In 2017 the board insisted that we start working unpaid overtime. We still do.

The whole deal with macies is the same with dollar general. My grandson was killed and every local business let is put up a donation jar to help pay for the funeral. The local dollar general refused saying that they weren't allowed to. A couple of weeks later, every time you spent money there, the cashier would ask, "would you like to round your purchase up to the next dollar, donate a dollar, etc. to help kids with whatever?" The reason they couldn't let is put up something for my grandson, is because the company couldn't use it as a tax write off.

And people wonder why I don't want a job unless I'm self-employed.....

How about a What was your "New skill acquired" moment? Video. I have a GOOD one

When a customer signs a monthly contract they think that if someone steals their stall, we’ll tow them. The truth is we write $60 tickets every 18 hrs until the car leaves because we make money on the tickets, the contract holder AND the daily parking rate. We don’t make money on cars that are towed away.

After hearing about the elder care I am royally screwed as I don't have family to take care of me if I ever live to go to one.

I worked at a deli that was right in front of a meat counter and while nothing disgusting happened at the deli, if the meat people dropped one of the massive chunks of hanging meat on the ground, naturally it was still used. Same goes with ground beef Enjoy!

As a former server for dennys can confirm the skillets are heated up (foods cooked on the grill then put on the skillet to serve) and we put water droplets on it to sizzle otw to the customer.

1:39 MY WHOLE LIFE IS A LIE! 😭 also am I the only one who thinks this man's voice is so calming? Like bro become a singer or smth

I might have just been spoiled at my Walmart but those things were closely watched to make sure they didn't happen and employees got reprimanded for half assing like that

7:28 scritch scratch

The last story made me uncomfortable

When I turned 12 I got My first PC, before then I was using the family Windows XP, si You can imagine how happy I was. One day it broke and I reluctantly sent it to IT. They fixed it, But also transfered My windows license to one of their computers and I couldnt ever get it back

everyone talking about how employers took "charity" money. are they not aware most people do these so called "charities" for tax purposes while also pocketing the cash? also a lot of "recycling" stuff, just goes straight to landfills.

I initially gave this video a thumbs down and late at night (who knows why - but), anyway after watching it to the end realized that the more t crap-up thumbs we gave these videos, the more who (hopefully) will see them and pass them on to their friends and family to watch how these "shit show" stores truly operate!!!

4:53 I wonder if that qas in a burger king. Probably not but i went to one that fits this description, and my brother got a bug in his icee

There are no national pet store chains that sell puppies.

ummmm, throwing that stapler was more than acceptable. she should have done a lot worse.

I would love to know who the chiropractor was. That's how I got here, a chiropractor had affair with a bunch of his patients in his office (my mom being one of these patients). I have half siblings everywhere.

Serious. I need help. Help me figure out which Walmart this end story was at. I want to fix this issue. It's disgusting, and makes me look bad if nothing is done about it. So if anyone has any information on this walmarts location. LET ME KNOW!

Ex Dairy Queen manager of 7 years. Someone came every month and emptied the donation bins. We signed a piece of paper acknowledging that the official company got that money. The manager in this story is just an ass.

The person with the Walmart story wow your management was awful I was freezer dairy supervisor we never did that bs if anyone was caught putting product that have been sitting out they would be in trouble coached and possibly fired if they 'knew better' (eg know food safety)

You should have the am i the genius podcast on spotify too. I'm mostly listening on spotify becouse it's easier and there are no ads. So this could be a convenient little thing

my current employer also got some secrets but i am staying loyal... BUT MY PAST EMPLOYER ;D... an butchery shop that was very expensive even compared to other butchery´s sold those HIGH QUALITY "maultaschen" (thats what we call them in germany, they are basically dumpings) with meat filling. they where so expensive and all but the truth is that it was just the leftover sausages munched together that we put in them (nothing rotten or bad, dont worry, but still kinda funny to me)

Usually if I knew the names of places like this, I and many people would have review-ravaged them with negative reviews, and would have hit them WikiLeaks style

Not flood industry, but the owner & management ignore & cover up segual assault & harassment Every. Freaking. Day.

It's Tim portons get is right

7:29 *Scratch, scratch*

What is a puppy mill? I never heard that before.

I wonder if that chiropractor was in NJ in story 19, or maybe its a common thing for chiropractors, that are married and have 2 kids, to boink their workers???!!

Its customers? Is it a non-human? LOL

30 bucks to install ram, fuck I'll do it for free.

The walmart ones bs 🙄

Yeah, they’re recycling alright 💔 Wait so you’re telling me that Walmarts mop water is so gross that the person couldn’t tell the difference between reg mop water and water with a side of vomit 🤢 Moral of entire video: don’t go anywhere. I can do that 👌🏾

Disgusted 😢

Aldi is better than Wally World, anyway.

7 year with company and hated every moment of it Why? I get it , everyone needs money, but why not come up with a 3 -6 months - 1 year plan and change it? I don't say you have to quit on the spot, but if it is been years, why? Why you hate yourself?

I probably would’ve at least broken the legs of the manager that made it so my child couldn’t get medical care from an accident that I had been paying for medical insurance from my paycheck. I probably would’ve first gone into the office calmly to discuss it to see if it’s an error or the insurers part before attacking him and after figuring out it was his negligence I would’ve left. Waited for him to leave work and catch up to him somewhere more private to inflict the street justice on his ass so that he has to deal with the same bullshit issues of not having insurance when he needs it himself. Followed up by going to the best negligence lawyer in the state to go after him personally and the business for not actually verifying stuff that should be handled by a legal/insurance department that actually knows the laws the company has to follow. That shit is just horrible that someone would do that crap because their top 1% job doesn’t “give them enough” already due to the persons horrible money management abilities.

So the guy who shat on Walmart well that is a guy who works at a different store. Turns out Walmart actually has quality control and large amounts of it. Walmart got into trouble a few decades ago and learned from their mistakes. Walmart is the only store that has quality control. Walmart is the only store that double seals their milk because their was a stupid fad of people spitting inside of milk and Walmart was the only store that thought about hmm maybe lets not let this bullshit happen at our store so lets add a quick protective seal to prevent this stupid shit and any other stupid shit from happening. Walmart has an agreement with the venders that basically allows Walmart to get its money back if the food goes bad or looks like it might go bad. As someone who use to work at Frys which was a competitor there was a lot of brain washing to hate all other stores going on and I started questioning the stupidity of these allegations and turns out Frys was doing the shit they claimed Walmart was doing. Albertsons and Safeway were even worse. Albertsons and Safeway are the biggest scumbag companies ever and they are trying to merging with Kroger because all 3 companies are failing badly because employees are quitting and the stores get very little customers mainly because of how over bullshit priced their shit is. You can get a 24 pack of hot dogs from Walmart for $4 while that same item sold at Albertsons, Safeway, or any Kroger store with what ever bullshit name they claim to call themselves will charge $10 to $18 for that exact same item. For 12 pack of Ramen Walmart is $3.24 while Safeway, Albertsons, and Kroger are charging over $5 to over $8 for that same bullshit. Also Safeway tries to get people to go into the store and I have found out they are literally lying about everything in the adds. Hell it pissed me the fuck off when I went into the store to get soda and the sale in the add was completely fake as shit and turns out the real price was 5 fucking times what the sale said and the sale turns out was for 13 pack sodas which do not exist. They literally made sales for items that do not exist and Walmart is the only grocery store not performing that fucking stupid ass bullshit scumbag scam. Walmart is the only store that is not being absolute scumbags. Walmart actually is not morons and they see their 3 biggest competitors being absolute scumbags and are actually being good to their employees and customers to get more sales because the more people see the others being scumbags the more money Walmart makes and the more its competitors are forced to close stores. Albertsons and Safeway have literally had to close over 700 stores in the last 4 years. Kroger has closed nearly 3000 stores in the last 5 years. Walmart has built nearly 1800 more stores in the last 5 years. Walmart is growing while the others are dying off. Hell I stopped going to Safeway and Albertsons because of bullshit practices of not having the actual item and never carrying the item to literally taking the item off the shelf and storing it into the back before the sale starts and then bringing the fucking item back off the shelves after the sale ends so they do not have to give people discounts. Kroger, Albertsons, and Safeway are trying to merge to save their dying companies but that would violate federal laws and so they are being rejected massively. Walmart is growing in power because the other 3 are too stupid.

That last one was highly suspect... They were supposedly in the dairy dept at wal mart...then they said flour would be kept in the cooler... Ummm... Flour isn't considered dairy. And even as bad as wal mart is, if the employees are putting flour in the dairy cooler, then you shouldn't be posting their word on here as gospel. Been in retail grocery for most of my adult life (nearly 20 years as a meat cutter, but pulled stretches as produce and dairy manager, at times, more than once, for different companies). OP, you really should get these vetted better before you post them as gospel. Hope y'all can appreciate the irony in my comment...

Slow down.

Nursing home story: UM... I'M SORRY!? DID YOU SAY 35 RESIDENTS FOR 5 NURSE ASSISTANTS!?!?!?!? YEAH, TRY 60 RESIDENTS WITH JUST 2 AIDES. DID THIS FOR A COUPLE YEARS. IF YOU LOVE SOMEONE, DON'T EVER PUT THEM IN A NURSING HOME. EVER!
