I can totally buy this one under the assumption that the dude was willfully dense enough to not realize that they weren't applauding him because the were happy that he successfully haggled his two dollars back, but because the rear end in a top hat holding up the line over two dollars was finally leaving.

The all-caps, period after every word ending of this one reminds me of another STDH. It was Dr. Who related and involved chick sleeping in her car, being woken up by her ringtone which was the noise that his ship makes, so she pretended to by the Dr. and all flabbergasted that she was a female (which I guess dates the STDH now, since that's a thing that happened on the show?) anyways I'm pretty sure it ended literally the same way. BEST. DAY. OF. MY. LIFE.

Yeah, some lady fell asleep in her car at the airport for some reason, and a bunch of nerds heard her doctor who ringtone and totally believed she was the doctor you guys for realsies. It was utterly sickening.

I, too, whisper action movie one-liners IRL. This one just makes me sad for everyone involved: the customer for being desperate enough to fight over a $2 plastic box at a dollar store, and the dollar store employees who aren't paid anywhere near enough to deal with him. You all knew what this was. (The sheer patheticness makes me believe it happened, though not exactly as narrated.)

60 seconds later, the replacement box broke, meaning he deliberately broke it in the store so he could meet a scene.

There’s limited seats for the exams run 2x per year. It is a very real thing that a foreign doctor’s degree isn’t recognized in their new country, thus forcing them to reschool at their own expense. This means they have to support themselves doing non-medical jobs.

What annoys me the most about that story is they say "GP (Family Physician)" and I have to wonder if the guy even knows that it stands for "General Practitioner" or not.

In a lot of placed, GP is a "specialty" (yes, yes, I know), whereas Family Physician is analogous to Primary Care Physician, meaning that they are the doctor you go to all the time when you're feeling out of sorts and for check ups.

You can lock the door from the outside. Anyway even if thats real, the only poo poo that happened is that guy definitely got fired and the boss hired the next teenager looking for work within a few hours.

While I don’t believe this happened, there was a very brief period of time before I really thought about it where my brain decided the note-writer must have opened, had stuff to do that requires a manager? maybe? and decided to protest by refusing to keep the place open alone/taping the note to the door upon locking up and going home.

Note writers in general are just bad people. Thankfully an overwhelming majority of STDH note writers just put up the note long enough to take a photo and then took it down.

I don't see why that note can't be real, store managers are by and large assholes and it wouldn't surprise me that someone got fed up with that kind of job. The doors are locked because whoever wrote the note locked them after staying an hour longer than they were supposed to; it's not exactly rocket science.

He said "the doors are locked" because he showed up and the boss was over an hour late to open the store. He's supposed to have taped the note up and gone home because he stood outside for over an hour waiting for the boss to show up to unlock the store. The problem is the note is on the inside.

You're being really dense in order to be some Sherlock detective. Employee is waiting for the boss to relieve them of a shift. Boss is over an hour late and hasn't communicated with said employee. Employee gets fed up, writes note, tapes to window, and then locks doors and leaves. The doors are locked because there is no staff in the store. You can lock the doors from the outside. This isn't complicated.

I actually kind of believe that one because they didn't spell out everything that happened. In convenience stores and places like Family Dollar, they often only have one employee at a time so if the boss was supposed to come in and replace the person but didn't show up or call to say what's happening, they could just lock the store and leave a note that is directed towards a specific person and not have to say "I came in and worked 6-8 hours and then waited for you".

Lol who sends in resumes to work at Chipotle, like most minimum wage jobs they want to know your employment history and that's about it. Unless minimum wage jobs have begun to request resumes for burrito-making experience, up to and including an essay about making the best burritos and being a team player

Person working, has keys to store to open. Boss is an hour late, so person inside store writes note with marker, tapes note to door, locks door, and mentions it so boss can’t claim easily store was left to be robbed. Small shop with low business levels would only have one employee in the morning and like hell any lazy-as boss is going to come by just to unlock in the morning.

Who knows but that's how it is now loving Walmart of all places had probably the most involved application I've done. They wanted me to attach my resume, then fill in a bunch of questions about education, past work etc (all of which was ALREADY ON MY RESUME) and then a 100+ multiple choice questionnaire asking me like "If you see co-workers doing something unsafe but you're already late coming back from break, do you: a)Ignore it, not your problem b) Stop and tell them what they're doing is dangerous c) Get back to your section and then tell your supervisor d) go and find their supervisor and tell them. There were also a few questions like "It is acceptable to steal from your employer Y/N" Which I assume was just to weed out people just clicking answers randomly.

GAINING WEIGHT... posted:...what...exactly is a resume in your part of the world? It's a mostly corporate thing or for companies hiring skilled workers with experience and/or college degrees. Full resumes and/or CV. For something like Chipotle, McDonald's or any other fast food place or a gas station, all they really want is an application detailing where you've worked and your "special skills." You don't usually need prior experience, meaning you don't need a full resume or CV unless you're applying to corporate or for a management position.
