Share your work's dirty little secrets...

Here's mine:

I work in the restaurant at a 4-star hotel, I also serve food to large conferences and deliver room service.

- An unbelievable amount of high quality 4-star food is wasted. I can't even describe it with words.

- If you order room service, expect it to be partially eaten as we snack on it in the lift. :D

- There's no limit to how late they can make us work, even if we're working the next morning. Often, people have to work until after midnight then be back in work for 6:30am.

Well McDonalds constantly ignores the expiration date on things. Or we'll have timers on products that are out in the open or that have been opened and when they expire the managers just tell us to replace the timer.

Our new assistant manager wanted us to keep the bacon from the night before but whenever I'd open I would just throw it away, that's fuckin nasty.

Half the people at my old job had fucked each other.

If you knew the the proper way to place your order, you used to be able to get pot delivered with your pizza or magic mush on your pizza, at the place I used to deliver for.

When I worked at Galaxyland I found out that the rides are almost never broken when an employee says it is.
We just want you to fuck off.

I work in a restaurant as well. Not really a super rich folk place in appearance, but we do get alot of fairly wealthy people, in my area at least, but the food is quite expensive. The place is full organic and locally aquired. And yes ALOT of food is wasted. It's owned (as well as one other place they have) by 3 dictators who certainly love their profit and don't want to share it.

One time, this semi mentally challenged girl I work with, was told by one of the chefs to dump out some old shrimp that were past their prime. One of my bosses got pissed, flipped shit at her and told her to dig the shrimp out of the bottom of the compost bucket so he could take them home and eat them. She was embarrased and cried for a couple hours while still having to finish her job. Yes, seriously. That's the kind of people I work for.

I work in a restaurant.

Sometimes I do dishes. People seriously waste a lot of food. And, um, don't stuff your napkins in your cup when you're done. We actually have to dig them out, and it makes us want to strangle you.


Everybody that works there automatically hates you if your kids make any noise.

People/children get shit/piss on the floor/walls of the bathroom multiple times daily and it is horrible

If joe public demands us to do something near their house we will do our utmost to delay it as long as possible and to do a shit job when forced by our boss to go there.

Seriously you dont go up to me and start saying its my job to do XYZ (mow grass trim hedges clean up shit remove illegally dumped garbage) and that i have to do it right away or there will be complaints naming me straight to my boss.


When its raining we dont get out of the car because our work clothes are not water proof no matter what the boss claims.


We are not allowed to smoke during work........ so we stop working.

Pro-tip for people who order at my restaurant: You can have literally whatever you want regardless of whether it's on the menu or not. Just ask for it.

Just to put this in to perspective for my workplace, they will produce 200 very high quality meals for a 120-person wedding then just throw 80 of them away.

at the restaurant i work at we discuss how we would kill people who try to order just about anything in a way different from the menu.

'oh i want the rice that goes with the special instead of chips with my turkey wrap'
'go get fucked please, sir.'

Yes we get it, you like to do blow in the restroom. Just clean up after yourself people. Just because you paid a couple hundred for your meal does not allow you to play "Tony Montana" in the head. Are we cool? Yeah I thought so.
