I literally just bought Oreos 😂
Everytime i eat chocolate i think about the potential for spiders and roaches inside
Not enough to stop me!
But ...they are supposed to be vegan 🥴
Brave Charlotte!
I have avoided OREOs for years because I 'do" try to eat healthily, but, that's just (QUAKING) foul. Maybe ingredient lists should just say "If you don't ask, we'll never tell"?
FYI about the McD's chicken being injected with a salt water solution: This is called a brine, and it is used at any place that does chicken. We even do it at home. It's usually kosher salt, sugar and different herbs and spices. It actually infuses itself into the chicken and ensures that every bite is tasty and juicy. Nothing weird or backhanded about that.
true fax.
@@Exiled.New.Yorker · no printer.
Very true!
Brining turkey is the best way to make it tasty for Thanksgiving, too.
@@SpekkioMofW yes! Best turkey we had was when we brined it
I went into a Starbucks every day looking for their fruit and cheese box, they’d always run out by the time I got there for lunch. I was really nice and went for a sandwich instead, tipped well, and built a rapport with my barista. It only took 3 days of that before they started hoarding one in the back with a sticky note with my name on it so I’d have one when I came in 🥲 I was so sad when I graduated and had to say goodbye to them
that's so cute
We love nice people. If you’re kind to us, we will definitely help you out ❤️
Whoops too late. Got my ears re pierced at Claire's 14 years ago. Got my ears pierced when I was a baby but it wasn't at Claire's. Now if my ear grows in, I do it myself with an earring that I have on hand and an ice cube. Only the right ear grows in which is weird.
@@critterwhisperer5821 I feel like this wasn’t meant as a reply to this comment, but I feel like it was meant for me. I have the exact same problem and I did the exact same thing 😂
I'd do shit like that for nice customers. At any job I worked at
Many many moons ago I applied to work at Sephora, I was taking classes to learn makeup and really wanted to work there. I walked in, resume and application in hand and spoke with an employee who told me they were hiring. The manager happened to walk over, took my application and looked me up and down with a scowl and said no they were not hiring. I can still see that scowl. So messed up. I dodged a bullet though so thanks.
They could have used your skills too. They are snobs and idiots.
Years ago I went thru the BS with Best Buy over a window air conditioner that came with a manufacturer's warranty. They tried to sell me the extended warranty and I declined. When the a/c broke 3 months later, they tried to tell me there was nothing they can do because I didn't purchase the extended warranty. Tip: Look on the manufacturer's warranty papers and find who manufactured the item, then get in touch with them. They will get back to Best Buy and force them to honor it.
I’m a former Sephora employee and that’s ALL true. I used to work at MAC before and they were strict on sanitation. I was APPALLED at how disgusting Sephora was. ZERO sanitation is taught or enforced. So gross.
I think its on here, marketplace did a segment on the tester makeup. they sent samples to the lab and found staph on a lot of them. fun, explains the breakouts
@@maidofthemisty i love that news network. Selling poisonous meat, selling not salmon as salmon, why you need to clean your meat. I am here for exposing everyone and dangerous companies
For me, the testers are meant to use on my hand or forearm, never on my face, especially not near my lips, nose or eyes!!!
Unless it’s a MAC in a store like Nordstrom or Macy’s the sanitation is pretty terrible and sometimes even non-existent
@@maidofthemisty haven't seen that but not surprised. I worked at sephora for 4 years and yeap they dirty as hell and I can say there was a few times coworkers and i would be using the makeup to do looks on ourselves because the management encouraged and pushed you to play and use them for your look while on shift it was almost expected because they have standards on what you have on for a full face and it has to be a full face of make up and want customers to see examples of the makeup on us to help with getting sales and myself and other coworkers got pretty bad pink eye after using the testers.
The McDonald's one kind of frustrated me as a former McDonald's worker. The McDonald's I worked at was EXTREMELY strict about their hygiene policies. I'm talking hairnets, washing hands after everything you did, gloves for the cooks that they changed every hour, and not being allowed behind the counter without a mask on. It could just be a difference in management, but my McDonald's was very strict. Our ice cream machine also had an automatic cleaning function where you had to turn it off for like an hour to clean itself, so that's why we couldn't make ice cream a lot of the time. But he's talking like every McDonald's is like the one he worked at, which obviously isn't true. The one I worked at was CLEAN.
Yeah I was kind of thinking the same thing. Sounds like those were some poorly managed McDs, it's not that way across the board.
Thank you for pointing that out. Recipes are nationwide, but how employees act is per franchise. McDonald's is franchised owned. Each owner treats their employees differently and it reflects in their work ethics.
Yeah the mcdonalds I worked at for 18mths in Australia was not like this dudes. I still don't understand why they would make us say the ice cream machine was broken when it was just being cleaned though 🤷♀️
Unless they've worked at all stores they don't know what all stores do. They know what THEIR store does.
yeah, a friend of mine was telling me earlier that when they went for their first shift at a maccy's they had to wash their hands when they entered the kitchen even though they themself weren't doing any food prep, they were working the drive through
The thing that makes me furious is that I'm old enough to remember when cable TV first came out--you could buy cable so you didn't have to watch commercials. Then as the years wore on, they started adding commercials. Now you're getting robbed to watch the commercials you didn't want to watch in the first place.
Yes! In the late 70’s when ‘pay TV’ came out in Canada (A&E and such) the big push was that there were no commercials and it was specialty TV. Over time the commercials crept in and the channels are no longer the high quality content, name specific, entertainment that it was back then. I remember i had a friend who always had the latest and greatest thing and I was jealous of their Pay TV subscription when we only had the on-the-dial 8 channels (plus two French channels)
Former Five Guys employee here...Our milkshake machines were "supposed to be" cleaned once a week--no one liked doing it. The only one's that really changed it were: the General Manager, the assistant General Manager, and the shift lead employee at the end of the night (if everyone was caught up with their closing duties). When visits by the higher ups were announced, cleaning became aggressive and people still slacked--especially if there was only one employee doing it because everyone took advantage of them. During Covid--same sh!t different day. On top of that, you'd get in trouble with your manager when asked why you stayed so long (on the clock or not)--even after explaining why. At one point, i told them "check the cameras, you'll see everything i did that the rest of the employees didn't do because they were in a rush to go home".
as someone who worked at wendy's... the chili thing isn't exactly true. One, we don't freeze our meat. Ever. we DO use overcooked or unsold meat that's considered "old" but it's HOURS old, not days. It sits in a warming drawer, and then is used in the chili because it holds up better being slow cooked into chili than fresh meat would. There's nothing wrong with the meat, and it isn't left out to sit and grow bacteria. All the other chili ingredients come fresh, or in cans and are mixed daily. Also as a side note, unlike mcdonald's disastrous ice cream machine maintenance, wendy's frosty machines are "broken down" and cleaned with santizier every single night - and new mix is added once or twice a day. it is NEVER old or unclean. When I worked there, the unsold frosty mix was put into the largest cups we had available, and sent home with the workers - because otherwise it'd be wasted.
My older bro worked at Wendy's a few years ago and told me similar stuff. :)
Can confirm - worked at Wendy's for years and made the chili often.
That's why I never go to Macs
Wendy's rox
I can confirm this too
Exactly! I worked at Wendy's and would still eat there in a heartbeat
I work in the meat department at a local grocery store and I can confidently say that we NEVER add anything to our cuts. Whether it's beef, pork, or anything we process (cut, grind, etc.) we DO NOT add any chemicals to our meats. ANY additive would be (in USA) required to be disclosed in an ingredients sticker. It is a $10,000 minimum fine for not including this information on packaging.
Thank you I've been in supermarket business 15 years this "fact" pissed me off cause it quite literally bull shit.
i was like what noooooo. i was trying to find a comment like this.
carbon monoxide as used in the meat industry does not impart color and is not a “color additive”; it is used at low levels maintain or stabilize the natural red color of oxygenated meat.
its myoglobin that makes the meat red.
Supermarkets that cut their own meat don't do this. Big box stores do. It's done since the 90s, but has been FDA approved for meat since at least 2004 specifically as a 3 gas mix- 0.4% carbon dioxide 30% carbon monoxide and 69.6% nitrogen. Doesn't have to be labeled because it isn't added into the meat. Some chips etc are also bagged with nitrogen to keep the freshness longer. The problem with it on meat is it can keep meat looking fresh for literally 2 weeks. (This has been verified by news exposes and can be tested at home if you have a CO2 monitor.
I’ve always known about the chilli and never found it gross or weird.
I’m also the type of person who saved veggie scraps and bones for broth, so to me throwing the meat away just seems wasteful.
On that note, I’d like to point out how appalled people are about restaurants being wasteful and throwing food away, but when they come up with a way to reduce waste, people are also appalled. Lol
This. Don’t waste food, but don’t you dare put it to good use either.
Anyone who ate the chili at Wendy's and didn't recognize the meat as pieces of burger patties just wasn't paying attention. I knew the first time I had it, and thought cool, they're conserving the burgers that get damaged. Imma keep eating it.
Same. You could tell cause some of the pieces were actually the squared corners of their burgers. I’ve never had a problem with the chilli.
Yeah as long as the meat isn’t bad, it’s not a big deal 🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️ A lot of restaurants that have various dishes will “repurpose” meat or other ingredients.... eg use the leftover meat from the day before in soup or chili, etc 🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️ After all minestrone is actually supposed to be a soup that has a bunch of leftover ingredients thrown into it 🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️ (I realize at a large scale chain that’s not what happens, but traditionally that’s what it is)
Yeah idk why people are mad about that one, where the hell do you think the fresh never frozen hamburger comes from for it lol
I worked at Bath and Body Works for a Christmas season & the man who said they “discontinue” the fragrance & repackage a “new” scent as the same fragrance is 100% correct!! They know what scents people like & will get more money selling it as a “new scent”, but it’s one they’ve sold for years.
Disagree... the tranquil mint from the aroma therapy line is gone forever (it isn’t the same as the eucalyptus mint junk they have now... tranquil mint was wayyyyyy better... I had some of the old mint one when they replaced it and compared... new one doesn’t smell the same nor does it offer the same level of muscle relaxation (I put it on when I get cramps))
I make homemade soaps, lotions, bath bombs, etc and I buy my fragrances wholesale and they're the exact same fragrances that BBW uses. They're super popular with customers. I can also get some perfume dupes as well.
@@aburns1999 Oooh! Where do you get them from?
@@aburns1999 I also want to know where do you get them 😊
@@mirthaibarra4408 I hope the above response helps you out but if you need more information, just let me know. Something I forgot to say to the other person was that I’d like to encourage soap makers to make soap for food pantries. Having the luxury of handcrafted soaps would be such a blessing for a person who is feeling depressed about their situation. Consider using your gifts for those in need. God bless both of you.
The part about being good to staff and they're good to you back... 1) just be nice regardless of whether they're serving you or not, but 2) that applies in any retail situation. I was in Urban Outfitters yesterday and the guy serving me was so friendly, I complimented the cherry red Docs he was rocking (one day I'll be cool enough for those), and then my jeans scanned as £30, but the label said £65. Worried my guy might get pulled up on it, I pointed it out to him. He said, "I don't have time to find the right barcode!" Winked at me and sold them for £30. Wherever you are, kind sir, I salute you! Made my whole day.
I got tons of free samples from Lush the other day just because I had a conversation with her. Just be nice people.
heck this even applies in staffing situations for volunteer work too. a lot of people abuse volunteer workers since theyre not paid and think that means no rules.
I work for a HUGE company and no matter how ridiculous your want/need, chances are if you're nice to me, I'm going to go out of my way to make you happy. Even if your request is out of our policy. Being nice will get you so much further.
Totally agree, many many years ago when I used to work at McDonald's in Australia, if the customers were nice to me, I'd always chuck in an extra burger or if they ordered a small meal I'd give them a large instead for no extra charge.
@@BengtBagels we need more ppl like you in this world!!
For Wendy's, they do use old meat, actually unused meat patties. But, remember these are fresh patties. So, they are using them in the chili to avoid product waste. It's not as disgusting as people make it out to be. It's like repurposing your leftovers.
They got another recipe, though.
It’s nowhere near as delicious as it once was.
I used to work for Wendy's and I can vouch for that. These were meat patties that were unused and just simply repurposed. I'd still eat their chili any day of the week, it's good stuff.
Yeah, unless they aren’t putting them in the freezer, fine.
right? i was looking at that person and likeeeee dude that’s how you make chili!
Love Wendy’s chili. I think it’s first world privilege to be grossed out by this mornings meat being put in chili with beans that were - of course - frozen. I mean, to me that’s better than canned beans.
Worked in a café and would occasionally see other employees (especially younger one who don’t really know better and were poorly trained) cut corners by not bothering use skim milk or sugar free products. I came down real hard on them because you do not tamper with food.
It wasn’t malicious 90% of the time, just lazing, ignorance and understaffing/poor management. I can believe that each location of a chain will have a different level of quality based on the quality of the person in charge.
Regarding the Disney stage names, that's actually quite common in a phone customer service/"call center" setting. It'll vary from company to company (some companies use nicknames, some assign fake names, some give employees the option of a fake name, some use real first names but have a no last name policy, etc) but it's not that common anymore to see a center that requires employees to use first and last real names, because there's been multiple cases where irate callers threatened or actually committed a mass shooting, or stalked/murdered specific employees.
This 😮☝️👀 i had a friend who worked as a princess cast member.
"Princess Jasmine" had a fan, at first it was normal enough. Pictures, autographs etc. But he started to stalk her 💀💀
To their IMMENSE credit disney 👏fucking 👏 handled it. She had security escorts, use of secret passages, and the guy was banned from the California parks for life
I danced in the parades and onstage at the beauty and the beast show
OMG....I worked for Hollister in high school & some of college. She's absolutely right! First of all...I was hired cause of my name (Meghan Whalen). They did a group interview. The assistant manager (who was black & yes this is important later) hosted the interview. She wrote a list of names of all the people she liked. The store manager (who wasn't even there for the interview) took the list & called the people with "certain names" on the list. I was one of those names. She left a voicemail for me to come in because I had gotten the job. I was excited for my first day as a Hollister model. I got there & both the store manager & assistant manager was there. The store manager asked what was I doing there, so I told her my name. She was like, "OOOOOOH! _YOU'RE_ Meghan!" The assistant manager was like, "Yes! Who did you think she was?" Then she looked at me, smiled & winked. I knew right then, my name got me that job!🤷🏾♀️ During the 1st year & a half that I was there, I was a size 5/6 with long hair & wore my contacts instead of glasses. My husband & I got pregnant almost a year after we graduated from high school (don't judge me)! & due to complications, I had to resign while I was pregnant. After I had my son, I was ready to go back to work. But at this point, I was in a size 11/12 & was wearing my glasses. They pulled me in the office my 2nd day back & said, "GOOD NEWS! WE WANT TO GIVE YOU A PROMOTION AS THE IMPACT MANAGER. YOU WILL NOW BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE STOCK ROOM. YOU WON'T BE ON THE FLOOR ANYMORE!" I wasn't stupid! I knew why they did it, but I took the money & the hours.....& worked there up until the "Meghan has gotten fat" jokes were a bit too much! As if I didn't just give birth to a whole human months ago! Even though I went down to 7/8.....I was still "too fat" to be on the floor! Hollister will most definitely mess with your confidence, if you let them. Lucky for me, my man & I loved the extra weight I had put on, so they couldn't completely break me. Once I left, I went to a size 9/10 & loved every single pound!😊😝
Loved the story and the confidence! I'm still a little confused why your name (Meghan Whalen) was so important to the hiring process??
@@connerlivingston947 Meghan is a common enough name, but combine with Whalen, which is Irish, and you get a stereotypical White name. The store manager assumed she was White, and probably wouldn’t have hired her of her name was Tamisha Jones or Deja Washington- I am going to bet any Mei Wongs or Harpreet Singhs would have gotten rejected as well. Good on the assistant manager.
I worked at A&F and had the same thing happen. I didn't have a baby, but I did get married and gained weight. I went from being on the floor to being in the back. I don't know about the name thing. My name is very Mexican/Latina, but my initials are MV and I am ethnically ambiguous, so that might have been why I was hired. 🤷🏻♀️😅
Geeez
Still trying to figure how the the assistant manager being black is important later...
The thing about Wendy’s chili: health inspectors would know this and if it is beyond the 7 day mark required, it will be tossed. Using yesterdays unused hamburger for chili is a good idea. Beans being frozen is also a good thing. First world privilege is not wanting perfectly good and safe food because of the feels.
We are definitely a little overly paranoid about food safety. I mean, not being absolutely disgusting is one thing, but anyone whose travelled around the world know people don't exactly drop dead when everything isn't completely brand new and sanitized lol
I worked at Wendy's and they don't follow the rules at least in my area. It's not like the health inspectors are sitting there day in and day out they come every so often and of course they'd take the precautions then
I worked at Wendy's (2yrs) , McD's(6 mths), and Krystal (18 mths). Out of the 3 of them Wendy's was the cleanest and freshest by far. I never have a problem eating there. When I worked there we NEVER stored the chilli meat for the next day or in a bag. Chilli meat was always fresh off the grill. Morning chilli was always best because instead of using whatever had been cooking for too long we would grill fresh patties to get started for the day. Also our chilli was started fresh EVERY morning. We never served day old chilli because we would stop making it about an hour before close and just gave extra to the last people who ordered it for the day so we wouldn't have to throw very much out, if any at all. And yeah, it's true, they NEVER freeze the burger beef. Always fresh.
makes me wonder how many people who believe that and waste so much food every day. do they never eat leftovers?
@@desireenicole2497 True but I worked in professional kitchens for years and the inspectors don’t tell you when they’re coming. If you have a bag of meat in the fridge and there’s not a date on it, it’s a 4 point deduction.
7:41 I agree..I worked at Abercrombie (same parent company as Hollister) back on 2011. The back stock people were called “impacters” because they made an “impact” on store operations (eyeroll - this was the spiel managers gave to not seem like a*holes for discriminating based on looks). The people in the front were called “floor models”. If you were a model and were assigned to the front door, you had to greet absolutely everyone who came in and couldn’t leave that front room (I hated working the front because time would stand still and my shift felt never ending) Also, I witnessed a girl get fired on the spot once because she was wearing green nail polish and you were only supposed to wear pink or red on your toes, and French tips on your fingernails. You also HAD to wear the clothes and follow a look book that changed each season. You couldn’t ever wear black because back then Abercrombie or Hollister didn’t use black on their design palette (navy was the darkest color)
For McDonalds, I think it all depends on management and employees. When in Hawaii, we visited McDonald's for breakfast. That place was so clean and nice it was like a different store. Coming home to my local store was such a letdown. The quality of service and food and the cleanliness was night and day. Sometimes I think there is a difference in a franchise and a store that is actually owned.
Yeah, I worked at McD's about 15 years ago and let me tell you the amount of shit you would catch if you didn't clean your ice cream machine once during your shift. It was usually around 2-3 pm when it was slow, refill and retemping the ice cream mix would take about an hour to get it ready for supper, and around 9-10 pm it would get cleaned again and shut off. that was of course before they became 24/7 so i would imagine a lot of shit has changed.
I'm a lot of states the health department doesn't require you to wear gloves.
Similar stuff happens with different stores too. I went to a 7/11 in Japan and it was heaven. It was clean, the food tasty and fresh including steamed buns and bento's with chicken and rice. Where I live, its a nasty hell with nothing tasty and food that taste like fat.
@@celinedrules When I cooked, I never once saw anyone wear gloves. I get grossed out watching people touch my food with gloves.
I never been in a Mcdonald in other countries, but here the ones I saw are quite clean.
But the big difference for me was Starbucks in USA most of them are quite small and not to clean looking, but here(it's true we don't have as many) they are big, even outside chairs and inside are regular tables and chairs but also with small sofas and low tables, so more like a luxury bar and very clean.
the employees at the mcdonalds where i live can ALWAYS be seen cleaning the ice cream machine. They even say "I just need to clean the machine, can you wait about 5 mins?" they work so hard 😔
True, gotta say i know hard working guys over there!
Hi from Austria 🇦🇹
Same
so polite !!!
I work at mcdonald’s in Denmark and we have very strict rules when it comes to cleaning and we always follow them. We can easily get closed down if we skip it.
There’s strict regulations regarding hygeine in the ice machines, and as far as i know the McDonald workers in Denmark sign for the cleaning and as thus, can be held responsible. It’s a part of the job and they get paid for that responsability too.
My older sister used to work at Starbucks. She had this really mean women come in with her four kids and this woman was being a Karen for sure. So my sister decides to give her decaf coffee and she gave her four kids caffeine. My sister definitely made that women’s day a little worse, lol.
I support the petty, BUT... don’t ever give anyone who orders decaf caffeine, no matter what. No matter how awful they are to you, it’s not worth the potential jail time or lawsuit if they’re allergic to caffeine and something happens.
@@michaelafranolich3300 That’s true and I completely agree but my sister is the queen of petty and she doesn’t care what she has to do to get revenge on someone. I’m honestly just glad we’re sisters because at least I’m somewhat safe from her, lol.
Totally respect giving the woman decaf, but it's not the kids fault and that could cause a number of issues for them.
@@ceisenfeld9807 Completely agree but my sister has no chill. She’s always in the right in her mind, so she tends to get blinded by that. Believe me she’s told me some absolutely messed up things she’s done for revenge or to make herself feel better.
@@Ms.ANY_10NE Yeah! I didn't think it was on you or anything- more so others seeing it and thinking it was a great idea to do to the kids too! Some people definitely feel that way!
The printer one is definitely correct. That's why I use mine until the paper comes out blank. I can get 100 more papers printed after the low ink light is on.
As a body piercer that follows APP guidelines, we always advise against Claire’s and Piercing Pagoda. You need a beveled needle to correctly pierce ears and other body parts.. the guns just cause blunt force trauma. This is why many people end up with irritation, infection, and heavier scarring when they go to places in the mall like Claire’s and piercing pagoda.
There is a whole science behind “needle drift” that we are taught as apprentices. Meaning that when you pierce ears, you have to get the angle down to a T, and then shift the angle again to compensate for the force being places against the tissue to ensure it comes out straight.
We are taught to check for veins to make sure your piercing heals correctly.
We are taught to check your ears anatomy to make sure you can get a piercing. Not everyone can safely get a lobe piercing, and not everyone can get a helix/cartilage piercing.. this goes for every piercing.
The guns are made from plastic, meaning they are porous. It is impossible to clean them, meaning that you are leaving your open wound exposed to blood born pathogens from everyone else who was pierced before you.
The only way to correctly sanitize something is with heat, steam, and pressure from an autoclave. The piercing guns would melt inside. Alcohol will never sanitize the way you need to be safe.
The metals used at Claire’s are horrendous for healing. You need something surgical/implant grade.
They also tell you to turn and twist your jewelry. All this does is reopen your wound over and over, making irritation easier and healing times longer.
They tell you to clean earrings with a cotton ball.. wrong again because the fibers can get stuck and trap bacteria.
Healing is harder with hoops as well. Again, more rotation = longer healing times.
You also cannot change lobe piercings for 2-4 months. Helix/cartilage piercings take 6-12 months to heal. You should not change or twist the jewelry before then. Claires and piercing pagoda tell you to keep in jewelry for only two weeks.
It’s like they want you to get infected.
Lastly, CONSENT IS HUGE!!! Credible body piercers would never pierce a baby. That baby cannot consent to having its body modified. I would only pierce children 8 and above, and only if they could tell me with their own mouth that this is what they wanted.
Do your research and go to a piercing shop. If your piercer doesn’t follow APP guidelines, run. Always make sure piercing equipment and tools have been autoclaved, and all needles are 1 use only. Check to make sure they throw away your needle in a biohazard bin after piercing too. You can always ask to watch them set up and ask whether their items have been autoclaved. If they are legit, they will be happy to show you and prove they are doing their best to keep the space sanitized and safe for you!
I had my ears pierced the first time when I was 17, back in 1978 (it had become very fashionable). I was afraid of them using a needle thanks to a classmate giving me a scare story about needles and corks and bleeding for ages, but she was very quick and it was over within 3-4 minutes. I don't know it was just done back then, but the earrings they did the piercing with had a semi-pointed end and a really tight locking mechanism so you couldn't pull them out by accident. We were told to clean morning and night with white spirit (not Dettol) as the spirit alcohol cleaned and dried at the same time. We were also told to give the earrings a little twist morning and night to prevent the hole/wound closing up round the studs. They didn't advocate hoops at the time as they said you could accidentally introduce dirt or germs into the holes. Also, if they got snagged by a brush or comb it could be excruciatingly painful. I was very lucky and didn't have a single infection, and by the second month I was wearing gold plated fashion earrings and just sleeping in the surgical steel ones I was pierced with.
When we had my daughter's ears pierced at Claire's (about 18 years ago), because she was nervous (and autistic) two members of staff pierced her ears, each one going 'one, two, three' and doing it at the same time. I was holding one of her hands and her grandma (my mum) was holding the other. She did say yes, incidentally - I would never have forced it on her! I can't remember whether they gave us solution to clean her ears with, but she didn't get infected either. Unfortunately, her high school didn't want the girls wearing anything more obtrusive than tiny studs or really small hoops and she ended up not wearing any. A few years ago she asked me to see if she still had piercings (she did), but I think they're completely closed up now. It was best to let that happen as she developed really bad eczema behind her ears (not related, just something she had badly all over).
This was a well laid out, informative comment. Thank you for all the helpful info you took the time to provide!
My daughter is 8 and wanting to get her ears pierced. I got mine pierced when I was 10 and at Claire's. The gun jammed on one of my ears, and now when I put earrings in, I have to jimmy them in as the hole isn't even. Every aspect in getting your ears pierced at Claire's is correct to the letter. I will take the route you've suggested.
@@AC-87 thank you for being a good mama and doing what’s best for your daughter! Piercings should be fun AND safe :)! Hope she loves the result!
I left most of this on another comment but my ear (lobes) I got done when I was super young I believe maybe 4ish. My actual doctor did them (this is also now 30+ yrs ago) I only remember bits and pieces but what I do remember was being totally fine and excited the whole process, mom always told me I had a big cheesy goofy smile and barely moved a muscle the whole time. And I never had any major issues. My tongue, when I was old enough to do that. I passed out, since I hadn't even eaten a meal in idk how long (said my sugar was way too low) they had to do it a bit crooked because of where the vein in my tongue is. And they said to rinse with Listerine after eating and whatever but to NOT change it BEFORE at the very least 2 weeks .. well once the swelling went down the super extra long bar they used to accommodate the swelling, I was now constantly biting and yanking it wicked hard, so I gave up and changed it. Thought I had everything good and clean, but of course it took another almost 2 weeks to fully heal. But, It did heal and I've had it since. Actually the one that's in now has been in for about 8 or more yrs... Can't get it out. Had a C-section, spent 4 hrs trying to get the damn thing out, neither myself or my kids father could get it I told them if it HAD to be out they'd have to cut it. They said if an emergency happened and they had to they would otherwise they'd just leave it. 🤦🏽♀️
@@leoniemarks4594 I haven’t worn earrings for years & I’m pretty sure they aren’t closed. I think it depends on the person & their ear type.
As someone who once worked as a barista, it's absolutely true that that they give decaf to rude customers and find ways to give discounts to customers who are kind to them. Be kind to your food servers!
Also on Claires: *THEY USE PIERCING GUNS*. Those things cannot go into an autoclave - so they are never fully sterilized. The piercing mechanism on the gun literally punches a hole thru the ear, creating scar tissue and is more painful. You're getting pierced with a blunt, dirty object, by someone who does not know what theyre doing.
It may not be as 'fun', but you are *much* better off going to a piercing studio, getting pierced by a trained technician, in a sterile environment, with safe tools, with a needle that will hurt a fraction of the amount, and wont be nearly as traumatizing to your small child or baby.
I got my original ear piercings done as a little kid with a gun, it hurt so bad I jerked and one of my holes I have to wiggle the earrings in because it is uneven inside. I'll bring my kid to a tattoo/piercing place anyday
Aye exactly! It’s blunt force trauma the damage a piercing gun does. I’ve actually had a piercing gun jam , it got stuck in my ear & had to pull it off me! Hurt so much. I have lumps in my ears that were pierced with a gun. I got the upper cartilage pierced with a gun & had to remove it, as even after 8 years it was still painful & had a massive lump (keloid) it was infected due to the damage the gun had caused during the piercing. Always go to a professional piercer who uses needles, as the needle cuts a small hole out which is so much better. Plus healing is easier & less chance of an infection as needles can be sterilised in an autoclave. I’ve seen guns that are covered in pus & blood still on the inside as they cannot clean it properly. I hope they ban piercing guns soon
Tbh it’s more fun to me than when I went to Claire’s as a kid
yikes, this explains why my piercings itch so often and why i have to jiggle the earring around sometimes. it feels like i have to re-pierce my ears (but without the pain)
I've also had the gun jam and when I put earrings in I too have to Jimmy them in.
I got flagged at BB&B for returning too many items. I went in to return some pots and pans because the quality was not what I expected. They had me waiting forever because their system said I had returned too many items. This was literally my first return with them. EVER. I hardly ever return things. Go figure.
The Wendy's Chili one isn't a secret, they basically tell you how it's made if you ask. Wendy's cooks burgers in larger quantities so they always have them ready and the unused ones are soaked in water overnight as a way to release the fat and oil from the patties that was locked in. Afterwards they chop it/rinse it and cook it in a pre-made chili mix. This basically means they reduce waste and actually, in a smart move, prevent the chili from becoming too oily. There is honestly nothing wrong with it, burger patties once cooked can be refrigerated for three to four days.
The burger meat may be close dated, but not out dated. The reduced waste is actually eco friendly. And so many chili recipes begin with cooked meat.
@@crabwalk7773 true. My chili starts with browning ground meat 🤷🏽♀️
Yeah. A huge step in cooking beef is draining the fat before continuing with the recipe. That’s just how you cook
We did the same thing at a bistro I worked at a few years ago.
I was an asst. mgr. at a Wendy's and it was so clean and every morning I had to slice the onions and tomatoes and get the lettuce 'sandwich size' and make the salads so I was impressed with how fresh most of the food was and the chili is made exactly as you said. Wendy's hamburger meat is delivered fresh and never frozen so they have to use it fast. I would eat at a Wendy's anytime no problem.
That story about spiders in Oreos is simply fear-mongering.
Though a few may slip in, you're mostly consuming roaches and flour beetles.
And flies in the summer lmao
Pantry moths too ick
No, you're mostly eating Oreos! Lol. The amount of insect found in any wheat/grain product is always minuscule and is completely unpreventable.
@@lashinka2574 I read a college findings of this. How much is actually in our food. They checked tuna for rat droppings too. 😳
@@lashinka2574 The amount of Roundup that is in the wheat flour is a whole 'nother story!
I too worked at Nordstroms! Loved it, I worked in Savy (Young Designers) & (Encore, plus size)
I had a lady bring a pair of pants back with the tags still on, they'd been purchased 18 years prior! Now I knew the policy, but I honestly wasn't sure about this. Called my manager she said, "Yes, she can return them. It doesn't matter if she had a receipt or tags, if it's a brand we have carried or currently carry we'll accept the return; even if we suspect or are told they didn't purchase them at Nordstroms. Perhaps at a competitor, we'll still receive the MFG.'s credit!"
I used this to my and my family's advantage. My dad had a 3 pc. Suit he purchased from them in the early 70's. I returned it for him in the 1990's. He received 100% of the $400.00 back. He'd kept the tags in the vests inner packet!
I wasn't ever an employee but a story from a friend about Hollisters; she was "plus-sized" and wanted to buy a gift for a friend. She went to walk into the shop but was stopped by a member of staff at the door was told that there was "nothing in [the store] for [her]".
Also, NEVER GET YOUR PIERCINGS DONE AT A SHOP LIKE CLAIRES! They use a piercing gun (which you can buy online, by the way) and those things literally rip through your ears. Go to a proper piercing parlor, they are WAY nicer, sanitary and actually know what they're doing.
Just a tip on brand names. I once took an intro course on marketing. Right there in their very first course, they openly spilled the beans on what branding is. Is is a highly calculated algorithm to rip customers off. I am genuinely not kidding.
In the text book for that class, they laid out how tonnes of research has proven how companies can build loyalty by selling a high quality product along with certain marketing campaigns. Then there are algorithms for figuring out how loyal customers become to their brand. Once the loyalty reaches a certain point, they instantly reverse course and start gutting the quality of their products because they have mathematical formulas that show how far loyal customers will allow the quality to drop by until they turn on the brand.
They even have preplanned methods of fixing a brand that goes too far and gets damaged to repair the loyalty. They come out with another specific type of campaign along with again higher quality products to draw past loyal customers back. From that point it becomes very much wash, rince, repeat.
Why do you think cable companies and phone companies treat loyal customers like crap and give all the deals to new ones. No, it's not just something you think is happening, it literally what they teach people to do in college.
Treat loyal customers like crap because they will out up with it. If they don't put up with it and leave, offer them a deal to come back. It seems dumb, but it is highly intentional. People make a living off of helping companies for this to customers.
I learned that clothing has a 70+% profit margin. Pay very little for the item then sell it at ridiculously high prices. One of the reasons I try not to buy "brand name" clothing.
Edited to say that that explains reading a lot of reviews complaining how the quality of something has really gone down (especially compared to something previously purchased that was good or better quality). It all makes sense now.
Holy crap!!!!
I just watched a video of a guy showing something simple like vitamin supplements. He showed that two of the SAME bottles just had different labels. One said 5mg and one said 10mg but the nutrition/drug info on the 10mg said to take two pills. Both had the same amount of pills and the same dosage, but one was labelled differently and they upcharged like $3 for it. I have never looked at items like that the same again.
When my son was in high school, he worked for Abercrombie. They made them wear seasonal A&F clothes, which the company did not provide, and they used to have him stand at the entrance with no shirt on, that, IMO, they may as well have been pimping him out. I was so glad when he quit working there.

That's modeling. As long as he's got his stuff covered, it's all good. Actually, that would be pretty awesome to put on a resumé.
I worked at a Clinique counter when I was like 23 - I had literally no experience with makeup or doing makeup. No training on applying makeup either so I was always so nervous every time someone asked me to put makeup on them… it happened a lot. This was like 15 years ago, people didn’t use makeup the way it is now. . One time I had to do a “full face” and I literally just guessed for everything. I have since learned how to do makeup lol but I can’t believe anyone paid for me to do it back then
I worked at my family's ice cream shop. Once a week is actually a respectable time for the deep clean of the machine, as long as you maintain accessible parts clean, like the dispensing system, trays, beaks, tops, and if the cream is kept at the bottom, rinsing the tubes out in between fillings is proper way of doing it.
Worked at a makeup counter for 6ish years. Keeping your testers and brushes clean is a MUST!
Also, it surprised me how many customers would just walk up, grab a lipstick and put it on without thinking twice. 🤢
I had a co-worker warn some high schoolers once that that’s a great way to get herpes. They left. 😂
I was with someone once who applied a tester lipstick on her lips. I was horrified. As far as I knew, it was common knowledge to test it on your arms so you could see how it looks with your skin, not on your MOUTH
I'm a shady B, and I'm a very particular makeup artist. Only clean brushes should ever touch a client's face. I will leave notes for counter workers if their brushes and testers are filthy. And if I need to, I'll tell them to their face. I honestly don't care what they think of me, it's disgusting. And it's especially rampant where I live.
Yeah, I also don't get it... One of the first things that my mother taught me when I started using lipstick was no to share, nor use nobody else's - before that she told me not to drink from anyone's bottle/cup, if I didn't want herpes 😅
If I really want to test anything that will go on my lips o near my eyes, I just use the back of hands.
@@vanovasmith9586 yeah, I tried to report a stylist in my town for having a shop full of unlicensed workers, not even hair students. They were just her friends. The Texas board just laughed in my face via email.
@@skyetoddmakeup I agree with this process of micro managing if it's to make sure the employees keep everything clean/was properly cleaned for customers/consumers.
Honestly, that stage name thing at Disney seems like a great idea and represents a rare moment when Disney is looking out for staff. Also, I did my research when my daughter wanted her ears pierced and ended up finding a highly rated ink and piercing place that has specially trained and certified piercers who use sterilized needles. She got a cute pair of black gemstone studs and they’ve healed beautifully.
Yes! I'm glad you did your research! You should ALWAYS go to a piercing place that has trained professionals and uses hollow needles for piercings. I had my ears pierced 3 times as a kid at Claire's and they always got infected and I had to take them out. As an adult I went to a tattoo and piercing place and my ears healed wonderfully!
For real, tattoo parlour over a chain EVERY time.
got my ears pierced at Claire's and one of them consistently half closes or gets infected, she held the gun crooked and it didnt pierce fully the first time :\ any others I get Im definitely going to a good ink shop...clean, thorough and nice staff, its win/win
@@rainestar82 I had one issue with a piercing done by tattoo parlour and it was self-induced- kept rolling onto my side when asleep and so damaged it but because done with needle it still healed fine but is a little crooked but that's on me. My first piercing done with gun and it wouldn't release so she had to pull on it and it never healed right, even two decades later its iffy but because of the large amount of scar tissue, re-piercing wouldn't help. Annoyingly means if I wear hoops, one side they hang perfect and on other they wing out and look stupid
One of my best friends used to work in the call center for Disney and she said it was so reassuring to have that little layer of security because people can be insane when wanting free stuff from them. :)
Once a week for ice cream machines is actually pretty standard for places that do more than exclusively ice cream. When I worked at race Trac we did a deep clean once a week and the product never even came close to going bad before then. The deep clean would be draining all the product, running hot water through until it ran clear when draining, running the special sanitizing solution through, then taking out all the parts, washing and rinsing them then letting them sit in sanitizer solution before being left to air dry. Since this process takes about four hours (on about 8-12 machines), we couldn't do it every single day. Putting the machines back together takes another couple hours so we would have a lot of disgruntled guests when they would come in during the cleaning times (which is every Sunday night-Monday morning btw). Every shift the carburators, star caps, and inserts were taken out to be washed, rinsed and sanitized, before being put back into the machine. The foam would also be scraped from the top to prevent the product freezing up or causing other system issues. But as for deep clean it really is not necessary more than once a week.
Former barista: I spelled every name as best I could, we aren’t allowed to just comp stuff, some baristas decaf but both stores I worked at didn’t. If you were enough of a crappy customer you were simply asked to leave and in one persons case (homophobic slurs were hurled by them at our LGBTQ partner) told to never come back. Honestly, it was one of the best places I worked.
Shout out to the Starbucks clerk who makes me special decaf coffees. I have a medical condition and can only have a certain amount of caffeine per day.
I always have to force them to make decaf drinks and I appreciate that people at starbucks don't ever lie to me and give me extra caffeine 😭🤷♂️
As someone who got her ears pierced at Claire’s as a young teenager and still has scarring on her ears as an adult, I can vouch for the “don’t get your ears pierced at Claire’s” one
Back in one's earlier years, piercing was done at home by yourself or a friend.
You numbed the earlobe with ice, put the cut side of a potato against the back of the lobe. Then using a sterilized sewing needle and thread dipped in alcohol, you pushed it through, tied a knot, and you were done. Just move the thread back and forth with alcohol until it heals. The potato is to keep tearing the skin on the back and you push the needle into the potato and use the potato to draw the thread through.
40+ years later, that is the only piercing that never closed. The ones done professionally by people who actually knew how to pierce have had to be re-pierced several times.
They did mine and didn't make them even with each other! The lady was like 'well do you want me to repierce it?' So they've just been lopsided for the last 28 years
@@queensrule4450 My mom had her ears pierced that way, but that was back in the late 40s, early 50s. When I had mine done, it was at a store. I believe it was a jewelry store, but it's been 50 years, so forgive me if I misremember. I'll make sure to not let anyone get them done at Claire's.
Same 🤦🏼♀️
I guess I was lucky, then. Got my ears pierced 20 years ago at Claire’s. Never had a problem. I do love the cute designs and shapes. Such as the little front-back foxes. People comment every time I wear them
Using a "stage" name is a good idea in a job where there's a lot of contact with the public. I've done that before in a customer service job and I know at least one large credit card bank that does the same thing. As long as the employer can tie the "stage" name to an employee's real name there's nothing wrong with it.
Well it’s obviously more common in some jobs…
Take exotic dancers or actresses in adult entertainment for example…
A customer at a previous job asked for my first and last name, which I refused. She found my last name on her receipt and said something (forget what) to me, and used my first and last name, then smirked and walked off.
It made me shudder because who knows what she could have done with the info.
This is why I am really glad a lot of companies are assigning numbers to the employees. It’s safer for them.
All customer service jobs should do it. Just because someone works in customer service doesn't mean that they deserve to be stalked.
I love the stage name idea. I’m pretty cagey about my personal info: a friend that I met a year ago and hang out with somewhat frequently, just found out what my last name is lol
Yes, I don't think it was at all necessary for that to be shared on a vid like this. I mean the girl that posted the info in the vid. It's a good thing for a company to provide privacy/security for their employees and what was accomplished by telling people....
Yup, Nordstrom’s return policy is terrible for the sales people but customers benefit from it. People had the nerve to even return expensive DIRTY underwear and they would still get $$ back for them 🤦🏻♀️ When Nordstrom used to give back actual cash for returns customers could treat the store as their own personal bank. The fact that the company allowed this to happen even up until a few years ago is actually mind blowing! Now they won’t give cash back for items without receipts or tags anymore but now they’ll give store credit lol so it’s still ridiculous. Keep in mind when you buy something expensive, example: over $1k dress for that wedding you need to attend, then return it a few weeks later that poor sales person loses their commission (which they live off of cause most departments ONLY get commission not hourly) it’s crazy that returns (losing your commission) affects the sales people for up to a year from when that item was first purchased! Worst policy ever!
Abercrombie and Fitch had literally the same exact policies as Hollister. I worked there briefly in the back, and was told day 1 my neutral brown, mostly natural makeup was too much and I had to wash my face. (Shockingly) I only stayed there for a few weeks bc it was so bad
They were owned by the same company
Basically any mass-produced and pre-packaged food product has some amount of bugs and/or debris in it tbh. It's pretty hard to avoid, so it's legal as long as it's below a certain amount.
The legal amount in North America that is allowed for RAT SHIT is disgustingly high. In Europe you are hardly allowed any poo or bugs. It’s just so that places can be lazy and cut costs. I live in Canada and used to work at a nacho chip making place. The production line was made so that everything can be disinfected, even the light fixtures. It was very environmentally safe stuff and we wore complete hazmat suits with tanks of air so we could breathe. This was so that we could spray everything with fire hoses and then rinse it off without getting wet. We did this every night!
@@downhomesunset I am also Canadian, but I'm only (EDIT: vaguely) familiar with US regulations. Good to hear we're doing better than our downstairs neighbor lol
@@Arcanist_Gaming oh yes ..in so so SO many ways. 😂
@@downhomesunset that's cuz y'all aren't completely corrupted by corporate cash like we are down here. Honestly sanitation standards for food processing here are, quite frankly, atrocious. Actual restaurant sanitation standards are much stricter than the processed & packaged foods those restaurants use to make their dishes. Why vast majority of recalls are because of factory processing & not the restaurants poor sanitation.
@@Arcanist_Gaming We have really tight food restrictions compared to the US lol My friend in the US orders Kraft Dinner from up here in Canada because our powdered cheese is different from theirs lol They allow more fake stuff and chemicals in their food than we do, we have a different threshold for what even qualifies as "food".
The thing about Nordstrom's return policy is so true! One of my professors told a story about shoes she purchased from them (it fit in with the the class topic that night). She wound up not liking the shoes very much, wore them anyway. Years later she took them back to Nordstrom, obviously worn, said she never really liked them, Nordstrom took them back. It's a part of their brand values.
that's actually pretty nice of them. and obviously it kinda works in their favor-- they retain a solid clientele base.
@@narcissticgoddess It’s terrible for the sales people and creates/encourages shady practices from customers. There are those exceptions to the customers that actually are not trying to be shady. But the ones that are definitely outweigh the good ones!
Nordy's return policy is that good. I had a blue blazer that after several years of wear got a real wrinkly look. I was buying new suits for work and told the Nordy's guy about it, wondering if I had done something. He said the lining had separated from the outer material and I should bring it back. I told him, again, that I had had it for years and worn it a lot. He said it should never do that and to bring it back for a new one.
Im a hardcore loyal Nordstromer because they’ve always been so super awesome to me no matter what issues I run into.
Also precovid anyways, the stores were the best place ever to just be at as a shopping experience. I took my dog with me, was served coffee and had shirts tailored while I either browse around or could hang out in the spa area. I miss that, but I haven’t been in years we moved really far away from any stores during covid and it’s not the same anymore anyways. Lol
Honestly that’s how a company goes bankrupt 🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️ That’s ridiculous to return items you’ve worn out or had for over a year... I guess maybe I’ll start going there and return EVERYTHING 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I worked at Abercrombie at 19 and I feel like what was said about Hollister is very true. I even had my photo taken to 'show' how 'attractive' I was and my horror moment was that I wore the jade bracelet you get as a kid and they asked for me to remove it because I needed to in order to be a model for them. If you're Asian and/or grew up with this tradition, you know, it can't come off. I used a hammer to break it and cried to my family when I was being yelled at for even doing so. But Abercrombie is/was STRICT when it comes to uniforms. I even got yelled at once because the stitching on my jeans was off from Abercrombie stitching lol
Not gonna lie, I did like being called a model back then though 😏
I would never have done that for a minimum wage retail job!
you poor thing. you should have stood your ground and told them no. no job is worth something like that.
I appreciate you for your comments 💙 I was young and didn’t have strong parental figures at the time so I did not know. I definitely know how and will ensure my kids understand this as well 🥰
I worked at Hollister as well and I was part of the “Impact Team”. They thought I was pretty, but I was too short to be a model. I was also told to hurry back to the stock room when I took more than a few minutes to put things away on the floor and straighten things out to make them look perfect
I love how the same people that expect their Wendy’s burger to be done by the time they drive from the ordering kiosk to the window and are horrified at how about much wasted food there is in the US are then the same people that are getting all up in arms that Wendy’s uses the burgers that are left over to make chili. 🤨 The guy was showing leftover burgers stored in a refrigerator to make chili. Sounds like a good business practice that making the best use of resources. A lot better than other burger chains that would just throw those burgers in the trash.
I laugh at the little nazis talking about ‘wasting’ food. I paid for it, I’ll toss it straight in the garbage from the grocery bag if I want to. Stop trying to use MY money
@@debbylou5729 first off, OP is referring to massive food waste from restaurants and big box stores, where large amounts of perfectly good food are getting trashed for practically no reason.
Secondly, we can tell the exact kind of person you are from the start to end of your response lmao, nobody is trying to tell you how to use >your< money. Being an edgelord stopped being cool a while ago.
It's definitely a wise way to prevent product wastage at kfc we donate most of our unsold chicken to local homeless shelters we have the morning collection where food throughout the previous day has been bagged up and frozen and the night collection just after we close the chicken we have left over is bagged up still hot and handed to the volunteers we call them the hot and cold donations I enjoy preparing the donations because it's nice that we are helping people plus it means we don't waste too much produce so it's a win win situation and what ever isn't sold or donated were allowed to take home otherwise it just gets thrown away I hate being wasteful when it comes to food so there's always some chicken in the fridge mostly mini fillets and hotwings because that's what the family enjoy
@@debbylou5729 hun one insignificant meal isn't what we're worried about! lol 😂 we don't care what you do with your meal... we care that at the end of the day we have a whole tray of unsold products that are still perfectly fresh and hot that if it doesn't get taken will just end up in the bin, that's why we donate it to the homeless shelters because it's better feeding others then wasting so much food. It's not your money we're concerned about it's the fact we spent money on getting food shipped in we've cooked it and now we have to bin it wasting money on the products we have to now throw away, one little meal is not our concern.
Also WHY THE FUCK DID YOU HAVE TO BRING THE HOLOCAUST INTO THIS?!?!?! Jesus fucking christ! calling people who annoy you "nazis" is so fucking insensitive can you even comprehend the horrors that people went through at the hands of nazi scum. It was mass genocide hundreds of innocent lives were murdered daily, This went on for several years you do the math! Their living conditions were awful harsh cruel and sadistic! Think before you comment because casually bringing something so horrific up in an online forum isn't going to be taken lightly! Holy fuck, there are so many people out there who've been affected by it who have suffered at the hands of the nazis and you just have to bring it up and make them relive those nightmares. Before you can even reply something stupid like "oh? like who? Gimmie an example of who was affected that was years ago there couldn't possibly still be anyone out there affected by it?!" Well here's an example my great grandad was separated from his parents because he was smuggled out of auchwitz as a child (A FREAKING CHILD!!!) he was taken to England not knowing the language and basically became orphaned because there is no way in hell his parents survived the gas chamber
Oh yeah and not to mention these people that died in gas Chambers thought that they were there to shower, to get clean! Hence, after learning this I hated showers because my ancestors died thinking they were going to get one! I HAVE A FUCKING SHOWER ROOM I DONT HAVE A BATHTUB BECAUSE THE PREVIOUS RESIDENTS WERE ELDERLY AND HAD THE BATHROOM TURNED INTO A SHOWER ROOM!!! I hate it so fucking much! I'm an empath and all I feel everytime I shower that it's wrong and it makes me feel so uncomfortable but it's the only way I can clean myself (my shower room isn't the main point here so if you dare reply "whats a shower room got to do with me? Why you angry at me for" istgiwfyu the point is I genuinely have that hatred for showers because my great great grandparents were horrifically murdered thinking they were going to have a shower it's so traumatising please for the love of god think before you say something even online)
@@movie_maiden She doesn't think. She buys food, throws it away, brags about it and calls people 'nazis'. And has the right to vote.
For the Wendy's chili, he is 100% correct, although, they do this to have less waste. Which, if you think about it, is really good. For they do not waste as much food as other restaurants. There is nothing wrong with leftovers!!!!!
I know why is that gross
I got my ears pierced at Clairs when I was about 5. They used gold because it was the “least irritating/less likely to get an allergic reaction”. All I can say is I definitely was allergic to the gold 😒 And they screwed up the hole placement too.
A friend of mine used to work at a mom & pop convenience store. She said every day when they opened, she’d add new hot dogs in with the previous day’s hot dogs and open a new can of chili to add chili the pot and she’d just stir it around. We never ate chili dogs from there EVER.
More restaurants should be doing what Wendys does for their chilli, there’s no sense in wasting perfectly good food when we need to be reducing food wastage
Yep
Exactly!
We do.
Also: anyone getting piercings always go to the tattoo/piercing place because using needles are safer and more exact in placing
I've been dealing all my life (I'm 58) with one piercing in my ear that points downwards. I don't see any way to fix it aside from a whole other set of holes :(
I work at starbucks and it truly depends on which store you work at. Not everywhere hires good people. I would never alter people's drinks based on how they treat me.
When Target first introduced the Target Card, we got $2 for each sign up. They ended that pretty quickly. Target threatened to fire us if we didn't get a certain amount of new people signed up per shift. Mind you, this was quite some time after their card was first released, so the vast majority of customers already knew about it; either they had one, which was most of them, or they were staunchly refusing and getting pissed off at being constantly asked. I hated it even more than they did, because my job was on the line.
my friend used to work at target and when she didn’t get enough target card sign ups they would make her stand at the self checkout, which she hated
Same thing happened to me with AMC and Kohls and their company cards. Every customer had one or they heard it and didn't want it. It was worse at the theater because Ticket seller AND concessions were both supposed to ask. So poor concessions person was usually told off more since the customer had just heard the information 5 minutes ago from the box office worker.
I had to do the same thing with the GNC Gold Card that they had. It also cost the customers money to buy upfront. We would get in huge trouble from corporate if we didn’t sell enough of those cards per person per month.
@@ArcaneGinger Oh, no! That's even worse. ^_^;;
@@faeriesmak Yikes! I'm so sorry.
Ok. I used to work at a MacDonalds(granted it’s been a while). We cleaned the ice cream machine every night. Without exception. The fryers were cleaned out every night as well(oil was filtered and changed on a schedule). Opening crew would do a check of everything that closing crew did to make sure everything was clean before opening. It just really depends on the owner.
Yup same 15 years ago in Europe
I agree! I worked there in 89/90 and the icecream machine was cleaned every night. They were very strict with their policies on cleanliness and food safety. But I realize that there are people would say they would do it and only sign off instead. I don't know for sure, but the work ethics just don't seem to be the same now. I guess it's a generational thing.
True! We did the same thing too. I worked there 85-86.
If the health dept. heard about it, they'd get a citation and fine.

They can be prosecuted and fined and the place shut down untill the hygeine is up to spec. And the worker who skip the responsability will most likely get fired and prosecuted too. Big price to pay for being lazy.
@10:50 I knew it! I've been saying this for years that certain TV stations speed up TV shows and Movies. Everyone I've said this to thought I was crazy, but I could tell, I feel so vindicated right now LOL.

As someone who's worked at MCDs for many years I can say that making food without gloves is 100% better than using gloves. The primary reason is gloves create a psychological feeling of being clean.
I've been to many restaurants and seen people scratch their heads or touch raw meat and then go and make the food all with the same gloves.
By using your bare hands you are less likely to feel you are "sanitized" just because of gloves. We did use gloves when handling raw food however, and this was to ensure that clean safe hands didnt completely rely on someone being 100% perfect at hand washing.
Overall, gloves = false sense of security and cleanliness at cheap restaurants
I mean, it's similar to covid and wearing masks. Masks are very helpful, but I would constantly see people just touching their masks constantly. Not at the edges; at the center when all your breath germs are.
Or coughing into something. I see a lot of older people especially cough directly into their hand or fist, then touch something, because they were taught to cover their cough, but didn't realize that their germs were still being spread everywhere even if it wasn't airborne.
Sometimes people take the safety of feeling like they're doing something right and forget the logic behind it and so don't realize they're making things wrong again.
As someone who's worked for 10+ years, I've seen people do disgusting things while wearing gloves for exactly the reason you stated. They aren't cleaner in the slightest and I tend not to eat at places where I see kitchen staff wearing them.
@@ceeshnia still less safe than not wearing them, you literally can't feel if your hands get dirty if you weren't expecting them to.
So true. Gloves are not necessary and don't make it cleaner unless you change them often.
@@catelynh1020 Masks are NOT helpful and do not work honey with covid or other viruses. It's already been PROVEN that the particles are so small they STILL get through the mask. If masks worked there would have been 0 CASES when everyone was FORCED to wear masks. Also, it actually STATES on boxes of masks that masks DO NOT prevent viruses. Why the hell is it that THIS virus amongst the millions of viruses that we deal with is the one to scare you sheep?? Covid is EXACTLY like the flu. BEEN PROVEN. The survivability rate is well over 99.8% and higher. Don't start talking about masks helping when it's been PROVEN that they do nothing. Besides, why the hell haven't you people been wearing them during cold and flu season every year??? Just saying. Masks do NOT work. Period!!!!
For the McDonalds guy...if the ice cream machine is filthy with dead bugs...why is he ordering a McFlurry?
Proof people do these for clout.
He said ice machine, not ice cream machine. Still gross
He likes the extra crunch
My mom took a marketing class in college and her professor told her class a story about how McCormick spices hired him to do their marketing. A big selling point that the company was proud of and wanted to show off was that they had less rat poop particals in their spices than their competitors 🤮
Omg that’s horrifying 😫
Also another reason to not get piercing at Claire's is bc they use needle guns which are damn near impossible to clean. Just find a tattoo and/or piercing shop, they keep their tools sterile and are much better able to provide you all the knowledge and resources you need to ensure nothing gets infected and how to prevent allergic reactions.
Also who doesn't want to be the first kid to get a real pro piercing from a parlor/studio, shit sounds badass
When I worked at Starbucks, regular customers would request I make their Caramel Macchiato because I was generous with the caramel and vanilla.
As a lover of Caramel Macchiatos myself, I thank you for your past barista kindness, to my fellow macchiato lovers! Lol
I really need a welcome back ringtone and subscribe 🤣🤣 I just love watching our queen and your face reactions are just epic
My sister in law pulled a prank on me, telling me that she took my 4yrold daughter to CLAIR'S and got her ears pierced for her birthday! She did that because she knows full well I would have lost my sh*t on her for not taking her to a tattoo shop! Also bc she didn't ask me and because I wasn't there, but primarily because it's CLAIR'S!!! 😂
I can say the Sephora stuff is absolutely 100% .I worked there for 4 years and was the same stuff at different locations. The cleanliness leave is awful you do not want to try things on there. All kinds of dirty stuff going on with sephora. The staff mucks around with the product using it on themselves before a shift or during because your expected to wear it and stuff doesn't get clean after just put back
I was a coffee master when working at starbucks and everything he said there was correct!
I've got a soul-crushing secret to share from my time working healthcare jobs. While it makes sense cameras are not allowed in hospital rooms or nursing care facilities in patient rooms, they honestly should be to keep tabs on how staff are treating patients. We see video taken by personal cellphone and shared sometimes on social media of a staff mistreating a patient, or footage of how staff speak to one another about patients ... and we get all shocked. But I'm here to tell you it's way more common than when it makes the news . And if you, as a staff, whistle-blow, all you do is make enemies with fellow staff and supervisors and your complaint gets nowhere. And at really poor quality facilities, staff will set you up for failure as retaliation even at the expense of a patient's health and safety.
Okay, but no one talks about how patients and family members talk/treat healthcare workers. If you think cameras should be keeping tabs on staff, that goes for patients and families too. Healthcare workers are notoriously one of the most physically and verbally abused population and no one bats an eye because "well they're sick".
@@pineapple_pup then the original point stands. Everyone should be recorded for everyone’s safety.
I used to work with someone who called a resident a "F**king Moron" because they called me ma'am when I am a male. I reported them for that and nothing happened to the coworker. But everyone treated me different and I lost friends because of doing the right thing. I don't miss those "friends" because I know I did the right thing.
I also think that cameras would make things safer for children who are in abusive situations. You can prove Munchausen's by Proxy and other abuse just by watching how the parent treats the child when they think they're alone. OR the elder.
I don’t know what state you are in but in PA in an assisted living facility, residents are indeed allowed to have cameras in their own rooms.
Combo soft serve machines in macca's & BK, have a heating feature which runs, usually after 10 pm daily, that heats up the mix to kill bacteria, then cools it back down for use as soft serve, but it takes hours to cool down. This is a food safety feature that can't be bypassed at all, it is part of the software that runs the machine. Also every 2 weeks, the machine will shutdown for full cleaning & won't return to normal function unless it is cleaned.
One of my sons worked nights at Mac Donald’s and he said NEVER buy and of the baked goods like cookies or muffins. At night the store front is sprayed down with insecticide and the unit with the baked goods are filled when the area is sprayed and the baked goods get coated with some insecticide.
I would be careful believing anything you see on Tiktok. I would go so far as saying 95% is clickbait, 3% is from people who are past employees who like badmouthing old employers, 1% common sense, and maybe 1% is real. And that 1% us being generous.

Worked at Wendy's and I still eat the chili. Back in my day, once a hamburger patty was on the grill too long to serve in a burger, it was stored to make chili. It's not burned and was usually used in chili in the next 1-2 days. It's just well done hamburger meat, nothing wrong with it.
I love Nordstrom, although I don't return used clothes. It was really helpful for returning last year's model of the dyson airwrap that I used twice and exchanged for the 2022 model (for the longer barrels). I have really long hair so the change in barrels were a game changer.
2:24 there was an incident here in Australia years ago…
A staff member, rather high up at Arnott’s, where they make tim-tams
Short version, he was fired for a totally bullshit reason, told to go clean out his desk etc, he quickly logged in and changed a file for wrapper designs
It took them a few weeks to discover the change due to customer complaints about the allergy warning
“WARNING - may contain traces of nuts and HUMAN FLESH”
😂
Found out years later that Claire's also doesn't properly sanitize the piercing guns (and that they're basically impossible to get fully clean). Also the fact that piercing with a hollow needle makes the holes way less likely to close up and get infected- and Claire's doesn't do that- means that the hole is just messed up forever. If I ever get more ear piercings I'm definitely going to a tattoo parlor lol
Yup, I was lucky enough that my ears weren't be too bad. But even 7 years later my ears are still a bit funky at times and also too low on my lobe. I really wanna get a second piercing, but I'll definitely go to a pro next time.
How convenient. I just got let go randomly for no reason, no warning, at my job this morning. I'm mostly salty about the $10 in fuel I paid to drive to work only to go home 😒
Don't worry. You'll get a better job. Work on your resume and start applying. Look for one that's even closer, since gas isn't going down anytime soon. Wages are up, and lots of companies are looking for employees. Good luck!
Yea around me they're doing same day pay at some places cause they want people so bad
2 sides to every story they have to give you a reason to be fired, unless it's gross misconduct as that's an instantaneous firing.
@@mikespicer4827 no not in a fire at will state. Texas is a fire at will state.
If you get let go and its not your fault you qualify for unemployment, though it doesnt happen right away, lots of paperwork is involved.
My daughter used to work for Starbucks, and I can 100% guarantee that if you are rude, you are going to get decaf. She said it's that way in every store she's worked at, so it must be some kind of unwritten rule across all the stores.
Decades ago! Yes decades they only had the high school boys prepare the food at McDonald's. They would come into school the next day after their shift and laugh about the flies and other bugs they caught that they would throw into the fries grease to watch them POP. That's probably why they put the fryers in sight of the customers so they couldn't do it anymore.
With the number of bugs I accidentally ate while bike riding, a wee bit of spider in my oreo isn't going to scare me off. 😉🤣🤣
That last one was a great way to end the video. Also, a lot of companies use the meat from their left over patties to make their chilli. There is nothing wrong with that. They keep anything leftover after they closed that can be safely used the next day. Do you really think the will just throw it out?
Right? Why waste food?
& if they did, then people would be complaining about, "throwing out good food!!!!" Like, okay, which is it!?
Now I'm hungry. I remember when Wendy's had a "Salad bar" which had the chili, some pasta, some hamburger rolls that were turned into like a garlic bread, I think some taco shells and rice or something else. It was cheap and good and basically all you could eat.
Also, I think one of my favorite things in each video is when you say "Subscribe". lol
Claire's is no surprise. Every girl I knew who got their ears pierced at Claire's at the mall, their piercings got infected. A boy I knew who pierced both his ears multiple times, sometimes with a blunt stud, no infections at all. Tells you something that a teenage boy with improper tools is cleaner that a company you pay for the service.
I also worked at BestBuy for the better part of a decade. Everything he said was true. Also mark up on accesories (HDMI cables, phone cables, etc) are all INSANE. Employee discount was cost + 5%. I got HDMI cables for $6 when they retailed for 39.99. Mark ups on big ticket items weren't as extreme.
that is why no one shops there and they are going out of business. we have options now so there's no need to even think about best buy unless its black friday and half the time their "deals" are still more expensive that regular price at other retailers
Glad I have a micro center nearby, The Best Buy near me closed down.
I've heard of this tactic in so many big companies! One example that comes to mind is rug stores. They'll buy the rug for say $50, mark it up to $600 then have a "sale" and sell it for $400, even though the RRP is $200.
In regards to HDMI cables, especially cables under 20’, the signal is either present or not present. A $5 cable will give you the same picture quality as a $50 cable. Higher quality cables are only necessary for longer runs.
heh no wonder they don't like me when I go to buy a BD player or TV and then go to the local computer store that sells quality HDMI cables...for less than ten bucks that work just as well as Best Buys $40 cables...
"You think that they're just fast food but they have so much science behind it"
That can be said for the entire food industry, it's literally called food science
I got my ears pierced at Claire’s when I was a kid, I can inform looking back I don’t think they knew what they were doing. The girl looked at where she put the little purple dot on my ear and she said “Ok, it’s even,” I can tell you now my piercings are not even at all.
You can return basically anything to Costco too. The electronics have a time limit, but most anything else is easier. Had a friend's house burn down, they returned the smokey mattress after it had also been rained on. And if you buy something like a grill, and they later have a lower price on it, they will refund you the difference.
Spilling tea on corporations is ALWAYS welcome!
I worked at Abacrombie and they had the model and back options too. I applied for back and loved it on the days that they actually let me work the back. The models always no called no showed and they would force us back trolls forward. I hated it! I have crazy social anxiety and they would force me to stand in the door way and told me to flirt with people to get them to come in. It was terrible!
I used to work at Rite Aid. One time a lady came in with picture frames that she swore up and down that she bought a few months ago. They had Brooks tags on them. That location hadn't been a Brooks for 6 years. I still had to return them. Mind you they were covered in dust like she pulled them out of a basement or attic. Like at least try and make them look new
I ❤ your hair like that! FYI - for ANY piercing (in your case, you said the 3rd hole) - ALWAYS go to a body piercing place. The guns used at mall shops actually force the outer layers of skin towards the inside/center of the hole. This causes a lump to form, or oftentimes a keloid can develop. At a body piercing shop, a needle is used, and it goes straight in/through. I have 20 piercings on my body (mostly ears) and it is always so fast and easy getting it done by a pro!
The whole spider/bug thing is pretty much any processed food from flour to any finished products. As for the chili, it is not as bad as it sounds, they have food safety food procedures around it to ensure it is safe to use.
My 8month old son is passing out for his little nap, so I thought time to watch our queen and he hears HEY EVERYBODY! LMAO his lottle eyes popped right open hahaba!! he loves watching her too. He heard her voice in my womb lmao
The speeding up shows to add more commercials. I know they do this.
I loved that 70s show and when it came out in syndication Topher voice was way higher than the original. None of my family heard it but me. But my daughter, trying to prove me wrong went and rented the disc from the library of season one or 2 and we watched it and then watched the rerun and they all finally heard what I was saying all along. They speed up so they can add more ads lol.
Yes, I've binged a couple shows on DVD so many times I can tell the difference too. It's grimey if you ask me.
Ex Starbucks barista here, I earned my black apron so here's some tips ... Espresso shots only last TEN seconds before they become 'Dead Shots' in which case they become bitter and taste burnt. Some customers prefer Dead Shots and request it. The last part of the shots pulling from the machine is the sweetest part of the shot called the creme, kinda foamy. It gives the coffee its SWEET flavor. You can ask for a shot to be affogato in which case the espresso machine will pour more of that sweet creme foam on top. Still only lasts ten seconds though. To save your shots they must be immediately 'shocked' in which case the shots must be poured into hot liquid or over ice to save the shots. Also, pastry pairing with coffee is real, and the only way to get the full flavor of the coffee with the right pastry is to make your coffee from a French Press. This allows all the oils from the beans, which contains all the flavor, to come out. Which is also why the lighter roasted the bean is, the more caffeine it has because it contains more of the oils from the beans. You won't taste the difference in coffee flavors from a drip coffee! Happy sipping all!
The FDA actually has guidelines for maximum allowable insect parts in food, there’s no way out of it, we are eating bugs.

As someome that works at a McDonald's (in the uk) I can confirm that the shake machine is frequently broken; the company that makes them, makes them to break as McDonald's are in a contract with them that say they can only get replacement parts from them and have to get specific engineers to come out that charge over £100 an hour plus a call out fee.
If something goes on the floor, it goes in the bin. Doesn't matter if it was in 3 layers of packaging, it's now in the bin.
Don't know about America but a lot of stuff people say isn't true, at least not in the uk.
I'm pretty sure they're actually being sued over their ice cream machines being broken all the time
@@tiffanykim2773 ... He literally said that in the post. He's right as well, outside America McDonald's are pretty different. I'm from Ireland and they're very clean here, as are the ones I've seen in different places in Europe.
Only weird thing though, I think I've only ever been told the ice cream machine was broken like twice!
