smh...seems the only was you're getting legit service (for the most part) in any retail place is if you're the one physicallyhandling whatever you want or someone on the inside is your friend.

my boy worked at Dominos in HS

so they played hockey on the floor with his pizza and another dude dipped his toppings in the toilet

used to work at a private country club (golf course)
- tip your bag boys if you leave your clubs there! you dont tip = we throw your bags around the back room, take your drivers out to the range, even play roundsin your clubs
- dont ever pay for range balls, just ask the youngest worker around for a bucket... 99% of them will be cool about it
- talk sports with them, we will remember you, wash your clubs free, take care of them, even sneak some beers in your cart when you are about to ride out
restaurant
- all rumors are true. be nice to your servers. we can be your best friend or your worst enemy.
- if you go somewhere often, tip good. for the amount of free stuff we will slide you it will end up paying for itself... trust
now that im a teacher i gotta give respect to that dude who posted that list earlier... had me rolling!

...i mean, even if the customer is a jerk it'sstill your job to treat them right, you're getting paid for it. well, i never worked in retail so maybe i don't completely understand.
kumon learning center tutor
-we had to grade papers all day long and it got stupid repetitive, if it was a smart person's work i was grading sometimes i'd get lazy and just saythey were all correct and not really check over it.
-i really don't like those parents that are there to push their kids and watch over them all the time and "psuedo-discipline" them. i mean, letthe kids breathe. there was this one lady that was always telling her son to get working and stuff like that but i felt bad for him cuz i could sorta relate asmy parents were sorta like that too, so i was extra-nice and tried to help him with a little more effort on my part.
-also it only happened like 1-2 times, but near the end of my shift, if there was a kid there that couldn't correct his corrections no matter how hard itried teaching him, i'd just tell them some of them were right anyway.
man i'm horrible

tech support - People always say "you're so patient", and you get the typical "not a problem, it's our job", but in actuallitywe're bangin our heads against the wall and cussing up a storm when you hear silence.

Al ot of people came into this thread with "jobs", few came in with "professions".
I'm waiting for the older NTers to review corporate details and I might play along with what I've seen and heard through the grapevine.

I used to work as a currency broker. I would only deal with corporate accounts and this a step-by-step of how the game worked...
- I would cold call you and urge you to compare the rate you're currently getting versus mine. I would suggest doing it AFTER you booked with your currentprovider
- When you called me, I would quote WAY under the market to make my rate look good
- I would give you the EXACT market rate for the first couple of deals
- After 4 or 5 deals, when I assume you STOPPED checking my rate against your provider, I would absolutely hammer the crap out of you
Basically how we got paid was if the rate to buy USD was 1.20 CAD, I would try and sell it to you as high as possible and I would get 20% of the gross profit.Keep in mind these were corporate accounts, often trading upwards of $1-5mm a transaction. There were people in my office making well over 6 figures.
Eventually I quit. I hate ripping people off, especially people that trust me, not to mention I care about my reputation too much.
Shiesty business.

Telemarketing- make everything sound so good. leave out all the important details and in the confirmation read fast and mumble words. we used to swindle olderpeople to hit quota and sell internet to people with no computer saying we would give them 90 days to go find one and we'll send $200 to help when theyneed their internet activated to get the money and they start getting billed a week later :shakeheadno i felt bad for everyone i sold to

Moral is always treat the workers with courtesy and be nice. Or we can mess things up for you.
State Farm
Customers that came in complaining and yelling at us for their bills, would see higher premiums and would be put on hold. We would "call" ourUnderwriting Dept. and stay on the phone chatting for a few.Checked your addresses and info on file. We had access to your credit cards and all that. I easilycould have frauded people, but I'm not grimey like that.We would "forget" to add discounts to Irate customers.
Nike Factory
Everybody knows what goes on at sneaker spots. I used to stash kicks on the back, until there were store discounts and then got them for dirt cheap. Some weretaken for free. If you are an angry customer I will "check" in the back and go to the breakroom and chill for a minute then tell you no more in yoursize. Some employees are in the know so they change the prices of items. Bad customers would get smashed,ripped boxes with creased shoes. I hooked up madpeople. If you were cool with me, I took care of you. I would change the price. Cute girls were always after the discount, but I had to get something in return
