Have you heard? NASCAR is going 'green'!

I sold chemicals to industry including food, use to relabel animal fat products and doctor up kosher and halal certifications.
I've worked in group homes for challenging behaviors, reported abuse (under mandatory reporting legislation) only to sacked.

My industry -- corporate legal defense -- is incredibly boring and very much by the book when it comes to shortcuts, skimping, and dirty little secrets. At least it's been that way at the three "big law" firms I've worked.

Not really sure if anyone needs to know this but a significant number of female bodybuilders make ends meet by wrestling 'schmoes': guys who get off being dominated by muscular women.

I work in retail. We hate most of you.

When your doctor orders labs or an MRI or something like that, ask if you can choose the provider. Sometimes, they'll have a relationship with the place, but that doesn't mean it's the most cost effective place for you. Shop around. You can save a lot of money, especially prescriptions. Some insurance carriers may help you in your search.

Engineers are really super cool.

Housecleaners in a hurry sometimes sweep kitchen floor, make sinks look shiny, and pour Pine Sol or the like in the drains and toilets. I did it a few times, never failed, client would come home, take a whiff, look at the sink, and thank you for doing such a great job!

Public schools are really child warehouses, keeping all the kids dumbed down to make obedient factory workers. Studies show that if one allows self-directed learning, where children can move at their own pace, students fly past the grade levels with ease, even doing college courses when very young. All this holding kids back to the same level and speed is ridiculous, and only to fill the coffers of the educational system.

I had worked at Stroh's brewery it was sold, Pabst in 2001 We were the last Srtrohs/Pabst brewery to close. It was located in Pennsylvania. That light beer people buy is a just regular beer with a lot more water in it, so in essences when you pay for light beer you are buying water with a tad of beer in it,

I used to process the predatory mortgage loans that crashed the economy in 2008. Saw thousands of loan documents first-hand.

I worked for the court system in NC for several years. People freaked out when they got a jury summons and gave every excuse for a dismissal. Truth is, if they just plain failed to show, no action was ever taken. Ever.

Keebler cookies are NOT made by elves. Very disappointing. I hope you take this better than I did.

This is probably just the owner of the local place I worked being cheap, but the comfort suites hotel I worked at for a while didn't even stock sanatizer tablets for dish washing. I didn't even realize it, until the health inspector came in one day and asked me where they were. I hate to think I may have spread something. D:

Over-cooked meat from the grill gets used in the next day's or week's chili. It's frozen. Wendy's.

Education is principally about getting kids to pass to maintain funding levels.

The wind energy business has a H-U-G-E carbon footprint! They don't mine the ore using renewable energy. They don't process or smelt the ore using renewable energy. They don't transport the materials to the construction site using renewable energy. The don't use any renewable energy to erect, repair or maintain the wind farms. Plus, for every ton of portland cement used in the concrete foundations of the turbine towers and transmission line towers, a ton of CO2 is produced. And then the electricity is released into a non-green grid. There's not a damned thing renewable about industrialized wind energy.

DO NOT eat french fries at Sonic

I worked in the auto repair field for several years.

While many of you are aware, there are some dishonest shops out there who prey on the general public's lack of automotive knowledge.
Most places aren't like that. Here is what many don't know. Nearly every shop does free estimates and you can get as many opinions as you want.

When you get matching diagnoses you can then decide by comparing prices, convenience, how long it will take, etc.
Once you find a place that can fulfill those to your satisfaction, keep them!
They are your car's doctor.

In the Heating and Air Conditioning repair business, the annual system "tune-up" is nothing more than hosing off the outside A/C coils, maybe check the refrigerant charge. The main reason they are there are to sell you crap you don't need, parts or filter systems , even new equipment. The A/C tech gets paid a flat fee to go a house to "tune-up" the A/C, usually about $12. Considering that travel time to a house and time spent at the at least 45 mins, he's not making much. So in order to make a good wage he will tell you need to replace a part. He gets like 20 to 25% of the charge on commission, the company gets the rest. Most common parts sold to you are; capacitors $10 their cost you are charged $215, contactors $11 to you $250, fan motors $45 you pay $500+, but labor is included with price. Oh by the way there is nothing wrong with the old part. Whoopie!
So for the hour he spent at a house he gets $12 to show up, $54 commision on a capacitor for a total of $66 for 1 1/2 hrs. work. So he has to sell you something to earn decent money. It's not the tech's fault this is how these residential companies work. I worked 35 years at repair work and it sickens me to see people getting ripped off, when I started out it was basiclly hourly work.

When you buy new clothing, launder them before you wear them. Every time.
Every piece of clothing that arrives in stores from overseas, which is just about all
clothing manufactured, is treated with all sorts of pesticides before it's shipped.
Not to mention, rodents are common on transport ships. They can, and often do, get
inside shipping containers.
You really do not want to wear anything before you wash it.
As far as domestically manufactured clothing goes, rodents are also an issue.
Further, shopping in malls is a monumental waste of your money. It costs very
little to manufacture clothing, especially overseas. The markup is astronomical.
Genreally, most articles of clothing cost less than $5-8 to make, per piece.
In the case of smaller items like underwear, tanks and t-shirts, you're looking at less than $1. The markup on women's clothing is generally two to three times greater than that
of men's clothing. Even for similar items.
Stores located in malls charge more because they increase the markup to help cover
overhead, and mall rents are insane. That also applies to other merchandise, like furniture.

Just when I was going to tell... My sister showed up... She is NSA. Sorry.

In most fast-food restaurants, you have to get a doctor's note to call in sick or get a write-up, if not fired. The pay is bad enough that they can't loose the hours, much less afford a doctor's appointment for a simple flu. I've seen crew run to the back to throw up so managers don't see and send them home. Also, fast food isn't just for high school kids earning pocket money. Who made that burger you ate for lunch during the school day when you forgot to pack one? Or that time you caught that midnight showing and didn't feel like cooking at 2 am, after most child labor laws prohibit high school students from working?

RESTAURANTS: you are better off having microwave dinners

As a result of the decades long campaign of HSUS/PETA "adopt don't shop" propaganda, there has sprung the yet "little"(huge) known industry that is "retail rescue"; importing dogs from other countries for profit and lax vaccination adherence and "rescue flippers". The former resulting in Asian meat dog flu and rabid animals being imported into the US.

Rescue flippers being the most vile in that people have been separated from their beloved pets and due diligence/protocol(actually there are no laws on that in many states) not followed to find the rightful owners. See, the case of Piper the champion show sheltie that resulted in a legal battle of epic proportions in Ohio, and that is only the most famous case.

I would HATE for my dog to get lost somewhere in Ohio.
